CHECK POINTS BEING MADE LEGAL UNLESS YOU SHOW UP AT CAPITOL! - The Austin Campaign For Liberty Group (Austin, TX) - Meetup.com

 

Just curious....why would you be against DWI checkpoints?

 

Why?
well it is not so much why they are having a check point ,i understand what they are trying to prevent... but rather that they are infringing upon my right to travel freely....you see i do not drink and drive....and that makes me a innocent person having my rights infringe upon when i am stopped or hindered..

If i have done nothing wrong then why should i be stopped without cause ? just like having my vehicle searched without probable cause .

kinda like having my gun rights restricted just because of a bad apple...

The guns laws still do not stop the criminals from having one...or getting them for that fact..

Government is taking more and more away from "us" without really solving the core issue..

Check points do not stopped drunks from driving.....people/peer pressure does

 

So what do you think of them TX ? I see that you are Fireman, and realize the you see the aftermaths of DUI's...but do you think this is the answer ?
