checkstop mania

[bddog]

Its the point of being stopped for no reason. If You got stopped at this stop, during your working day, You would feel the same( unless You work for other people)
Have any of You had similar experiences elsewhere? ( Not night time drunk driving stops)?

[asubimmer]

You're mixing the issue of being unlicensed and race. It so happens that in your area illegals are driving without licenses. If they caught some white 15 year old without a license it would be the same as pinching the illegal. Mexican or white rich kid, if you drive without a license you're a dumbshit and should rightfully be thrown in jail.

So in NC they set up roadblocks on the pretense of catching 15 year old children without a license.

Check later . Runnin late

[jhowell]

don't forget your license

They confiscate every car they pull over. Very Tammany Hall.

They set up road blocks to catch people without a license because it is a common problem there with illegal aliens. It has nothing to do with race, so stop trying to make an issue out of it.

This may blow your mind, but sometimes the police set up certain things like that where certain crimes are common, in order to catch people committing certain crimes.

Sometimes cops sit on the highway where people are known to speed, so they can catch people speeding. Is that a race issue? (no pun intended)

Here in WNY, they set up road blocks to check people's inspection and registration, because oftentimes people let it go past the due date. I've been caught a few times, but are they targeting white middle class 22 year olds? Incidentally, if you don't have a license at these road blocks you're screwed, no matter what race you are.

They also set up road blocks here for drunk driving, on the 'pretense' of catching drunk drivers. Because people here get drunk a lot and drive. Because they live in Buffalo and as a result they want to die. But I digress.

Anyway, what you're saying is basically equivalent to saying that I should be allowed to fly a plane even though I may not have the qualifications nor the permission of the government. And if they catch me they're being racist.

I lol'd... But in all seriousness, I completely agree with most people. I would rather have these roadblocks take up a few minutes of my time where i live to catch illegals than simply letting them go about their business.

Im telling farbin on you

ruh roh. Someone is in trouble.

If You haven't experienced the change in Los Angeles, or read a paper , You'd be clueless.

I did, then, because it was not what I chose for my life, I moved, far, far away... Where I am now, there are less people within 100 mile radius than there are in half of Pomona, CA.

And you know what? They pull illegals over the same way here. There are just less of them, and they snag them coming out of the rural farm roads from the fields.

[Restoman]

Oh what the hell? are you some sort of english major? Who gives a fuck. Get anyone on the road without license or insurance off the road. Get anyone not here legally out of here. Water board the pieces of shit, I will. And quite trying to type in prose.

It's a suttle joke you wouldn't understand. Forget it, it's a mute point.

Hey, I'm an English major.

This was something way different from the checkstops that have been a common occurrence here for many years.This is the middle of the day, On the most heavily traveled street , in all of Los Angeles County. Four Lanes in each direction.
As I pulled away , You could see the commercial parking lot , directly connected to the Police Station, filling up with the autos they had stolen.
It is about the money. They are writing people tickets, that have no licenses, and taking the cars, no matter who owns them. Impounded for six months, the same time as if You got your third driving on a suspended license.Follow the money. It is about the money.Years ago unheard of, in my minds eye, absolutely wrong.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Had you been through one of the Smog Check Checkpoints? Or The CARB sticker/put your car on a ramp and check the emission system checkpoints?
