Sobriety Checkpoints

[GlobalTrance]

HAD to go through a "sobriety" checkpoint tonite. Twas chill , was on my way home from work . Son of a bitch if my liscense wasn't expired! ... Thing is , it JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT ! I know , I know , its MY responsibility to keep tabs on the status (experiation date) of my liscense BUT , BUT , something seems amiss. Here they are (the piggies) SUPPOSEDLY doing a good thing ( keeping drunk drivers off the road) and they LOOK ACTIVELY for other reasons to pursue economic gain for the city. The sign STATED "SOBRIETY CHECKPOINT" , then WHAT ****ING RIGHT DO THEY HAVE TO "search" , "check" , "inspect" for for ANYTHING else ???? ... Just seems to nazi for me . I know my recent post have been negative but sheesh , WTF's going on here . The world sure seems to have changed ALOT since I was kid riding my bike aroungd the neighborhood . As I like to thnik that I am a somewhat logical individual , the progression of this scenario "seems" to heading down the road of "YOUR PAPERS PLEASE" .... Any thoughts ????

HAHAHAHHHA , re-reading my post thought of something . How about this : a coupla years down the road (get it , road, hehehe) and you go through another "sobriety checkpoint" and they say something like this to you :

Sir , your behind on your mortage , your going to have to come with us.

Sir , your behind on your taxes , (insert german accent (HANDZ UP)

Sir , you don't LOOK like you belong here , we're going to have to ask you to step out of the car .

Sir , are you aware of the fact your brother broke my sister's heart ? , NOW < GET OUTTA THE ****ING CAR ! hahahahaha

Hey , i know the above examples are a stretch , but , you get the idea , huh? lol . Furthermore , REMEMBER ALL, they DID say COlumbus was Crazy , and that Wilbur & Orvile were certifiable! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

got a ticket at a checkpoint for not wearing my f***ing seat belt. I told the cop that I would never wear my seatbelt for the rest of my life. I mean, THIS IS AMERICA NOT F****ING CHINA if I don't want to wear my seatbelt, I'm an adult and can choose to do that. It's another example of the goverment sticking there noses were it shouldn't be. I have a friend who is a retired cop from the city I live in. When I told him about the ticket, he said he never wore his seatbelt on duty or off duty!.....and a few days later I recived a letter asking for police union donations...they won't ever recive a dime from me for as long as they use tactics like this to try to give honest hard working people tickets.

I think this law should really be changed, its really. bad for police-community relations. I would like to know what the chief of polices' response would be, probably "its the law", well maybe IT SHOULDN'T BE THE LAW!
