This is not a phone call or a knock on a door. I find it troublesome that a DUI checkpoint complete with involuntary detainments can be set up in order to facilitate a private survey. We all know what would happen if someone just drove away.Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010868377109696846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-53625649241633227482007-09-23T16:18:00.000-04:002007-09-23T16:18:00.000-04:00Next up, a new program to see if the average citiz...Next up, a new program to see if the average citizen is deterred from committing crimes by the threat of jail time.

The person was driving in a very erratic manner! Speed up, slow down, drift from one side of the lane to another! Drunk? No! Cell phone stuck in an orfice!

Although it was "voluntary", they had the sheriffs there which gives them implied authority to do this. Its troubling that a private company would be allowed to pull people over and demand bodily fluid samples. Also, its troubling that people actually consented to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-57494544287971119822007-09-23T09:57:00.000-04:002007-09-23T09:57:00.000-04:00What's next?
