We have WON every time they have attempted this in Texas. The TX and US Supreme CT has ruled the practice of road checkpoints unconstitutional, but that hasnt stopped the Locals and the Feds from trying over, and over, and over again. From DUI checkpoints, to immigration, to drug trafficking, and now unlicensed drivers
The well is deep and long. (Personally I have not had a license for 12 years, and have not had an accident in 25)
This Hegelian con job to convince the people that they need this kind of protection is so weak, that Texans have rejected it again and again
. Of course this hasnt detoured the State and local police from setting up Virtual Checkpoints, meaning that they simply hide and lay in wait for anything suspicious (key word here is anything) and use any excuse to pounce on law abiding citizens; whom are all considered guilty until proven innocent. Proving Ones self innocent is very expensive BTW
(Unless you are the powerful beneficiary of the notorious arbitrary and selective, political nature of laws in general)
The Future looks more like the film Gattaca. based on the novel by futurist Phillip K Dick. Microchips, scanners, and biometrics (first voluntarily, and then by force) will be our future as all humans will be rated, and ranked, as to the degree of servitude to the slave state.
The Texas Legislators, and the Dept of Homeland Security (Control) remain undaunted, and have NOW produced yet another proposal to harass drivers (travelers) and to set up Nazi style gauntlets for the fishing Expeditions needed to pad their accounts, and to deprive us all from our 4th and 5th amendment rights. (read it here)
Will you fight back now, or wait until the world becomes one giant prison industrial complex?
Freedom is not always perfect, and sometimes messy
I have learned that taking my chances is better than living in fear, or volunteering up my rights.I understand that there is, in reality, NO SUCH THING as Security (or as I like to call it, CONTROL), chiefly because a smarter mouse trap only begets a smarter mouse.
