One simple trick for DUI checkpoints

Warren Redlich, back in 2010, was the Libertarian Party candidate for governor of New York (Nick Gillespie even highlighted him on the blog here). Needless to say, he didn’t win.

But Redlich is back in the news getting publicity for his method of dealing with police DUI checkpoints in Florida (where he lives now) while protecting one’s constitutional rights. It’s getting him attention from USA Today and the Associated Press, and a video he posted showing his method in action has gotten more than two million views on YouTube.

His method is fairly simple. Display your driver’s license and proof of insurance in a plastic sleeve along with a flyer saying you remain silent, refuse search requests, and want a lawyer, among other things. Then hang them outside the fully closed driver’s side window and approach the checkpoint. Then the driver has to commit to not speaking or rolling down the window, so as not to give police any sort of opening to say they smelled alcohol or that the driver slurred his or her words.

Florida has some stealth laws that geld clever lawyers. Like Chapter 390 of our Statutes. Chapter 390 gives cops entry to your home or car if they suspect a child or geezer is at risk. No warrant or permission required. Whats more, parents cant hide medical records nor can MDs.

Interesting...

I'm thinking of getting a bit more Fourth Amendment on the next cop who asks me shit outside the purview of the stated reason for his stop. The last was for a burnt out licence plate light. On a redundant system.


And he wants to know where I am coming from while holding my license with my home address on it and I am headed in the opposite direction.


And where I am going, which has fuck-all to do with a license plate lamp.


Run the license, check for warrants, and then decide if you want to waste the ink writing a summons for a $2.35 light, and mind your own fucking bizness.

It's the "Broken WIndows" theory of law enforcement as practiced by Rudy Giuliani. I cannot remember the name of the authors of the paper at the moment however. I also keep in mind which kind of kids that I knew in High School who went on to become cops. Not always the brightest and never in one of the cool cliques, no now it is their turn to rule over others. It is what it is. I cannot really remember the last time I was pulled over, but it was for driving at well over 100mph.



I did not get a ticket though. KANSAS is funny like that.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I rarely get tickets. Three of the last four times I've been pulled, it's been for lights out.


There were a couple of shitheads in my class at high school, and one of them did become a cop . . . now that you mention it.


The last ticket, the fourth, pull-over, well . . . he was having a bad day. His parting lecture was an amazing example of his exceeding his authority. I haven't decided to fight it or to try to plead it down and ask for driving school. I have nothing better to do some Saturday this Spring.


I think they teach them some of this shit at academy and then send them to the local drama school at the uni for embellishment.

The cop that gave Princess her driving test was a real cunt, but I had to remain polite.



Those people have long memories and scores to settle...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Some of them do, and they go about it in a very cuntish manner.


And then there is the bona fide Peace Officer who can give you a summons and make you feel good about it.


My statie made a point of covering his sidearm while I produced my registration. It was noon - he must have thought it was High Noon.


Dumb twat.

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

 

[Saint Peter]

I was lookin' back to see if you were
I was lookin I was
I was lookin' back to see if you were lookin' back at me
To see me lookin' back at you

Won't be long before some drunken sealawyer ruins this for everyone.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Well everytiime I move
Every step I make
You know I just can't seem to take
The right direction

I'm always wrong
I'm never right
Right or wrong
There always seems to be a correction

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Though your brother's bound and gagged
And they've chained him to a chair
Won't you please come to Chicago
Just to sing?

In a land that's known as freedom
How can such a thing be fair?
Won't you please come to Chicago
For the help that we can bring?

We can change the world
Rearrange the world
It's dying to get better . . . .

If you're really serious about changing how policing works. change how you respond to police. It may not be easy, and it may not be convenient . . .


but I really think that Wild Bill Hickok has outlived his usefulness.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Don't put your head down and charge.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Er, no.


Not for a nano-second.
