As far as the road blocks, I can see cops really being able to do whatever they want because it is public roads. The government owns the roads, the government pays the officers, so the government can basically do whatever, other than search our car unless they see something inside or get a K-9 to do crazy while sniffing your vehicle.


They do road blocks here, but only during the times that are needed like holidays where everyone gets wasted. They do it for public safety. They try to keep the drunk people off the streets, and is also a scare tactic as well.
Or if they are looking for a fugitive in a near by area, they will do road blocks on all exit routes in a given area.



What I hate most when I get pulled over, is for a dead headlight! Seriously, come on! You have to pull me over to tell me that? Like I already didn't know!!! I actually got pulled over for that a week ago. I am quiet lucky too. My passenger was wasted off his mind, and if the cop had shined his lights on him, both of us would have been asked to get out. That would have sucked, and waste more of my time! I was clean though, same with the car. Though the passenger would have gone to jail for a DUA. [rofl]


They had road blocks in TX on the main interstate! Though I'm sure that is for illegals. I don't mind road blocks because I know where they put them, so I avoid them.



I don't mind cops at all. Yeah, I get pulled over for BS. Sometimes I do get pulled over for braking a law, of which I get out of other than 1 time. Though, I am glad that they are out there doing their duty as an officer and not just watching a movie on their laptop 24/7.
When I have needed an officer, they were there for me too.
Hit and Run on my wife. Usually they always get a way, thought his time, the suspect did not. He got 5 miles away from the scene, and was snagged within minutes and escorted back by the officers! This was after sunset as well, with only a minor description of the vehicle.
