New Haven, CT — DUI checkpoints are an unfortunate reality in the ostensible land of the free. Luckily, there are still people in this country who choose to assert their rights and challenge this tyrannical and constitutional-violating police state racket. Michael Picard is a champion of freedom and has no fear when it comes to challenging the police state. On numerous occasions, the Free Thought Project has reported on Picard’s endeavors in flexing his liberties. He’s even been picked up by the ACLU after recording police attempting to falsely charge him. And now, Picard is at it again in his most recent video of rights flexing. This time, he’s driving through a DUI checkpoint he had just protested. “We were protesting the checkpoint with signs reading, ‘cops ahead.'” Picard told the Free Thought Project of his activism before going through the checkpoint. Then, Picard and his friends had to drive through the checkpoint they’d just been protesting in order to go home. “We were heading home and had to go through the checkpoint in order to get onto the highway,” Picard explains. That’s when the video began. As the car rolls up to the checkpoint, the officer asks for Picard’s license, to which Picard replies, “Why?” “This is a DUI checkpoint,” the officer replies. Then, something awesome happens. When the officer sees the camera coupled with the fact that Picard is not immediately curtseying to his command, he realizes that ‘It’s a trap.’ The officer, choosing not to attempt to have to justify the reason for the unconstitutional stop, then lets the car go. Just like that, they were let through a DUI checkpoint with no search, seizure, or otherwise any inconvenience. Rights = Flexed. Sobriety checkpoints — also known as DUI checkpoints — are the most common roadblocks you might encounter. They function as a general purpose investigatory tactic where police can get a close look at passing motorists by detaining them briefly. A roadblock stop is quick, but it gives police a chance to check tags and licenses, while also giving officers a quick whiff of the driver’s breath and a chance to peer into the vehicle for a moment. Remember that your constitutional rights still apply in a roadblock situation. Though police are permitted to stop you briefly, they may not search you or your car unless they have probable cause that you’re under the influence, or you agree to the search. As such, you are not required to answer their questions or admit to breaking the law. Because courts have upheld the tyrannical practice of stopping anyone and everyone, regardless of guilt, does not mean that it is just. Because of the unjust nature of DUI and Driver’s license checkpoints, individuals from coast to coast have formed an entire realm of activism known as DUI or Checkpoint refusal. For years, the Free Thought Project has been covering this form of activism and promoting the brave men and women who dare stand up to the police state. Thank you, Michael Picard, for being one of those people.

The stop was constitutional. I have no idea why he let them go.
Gee, thats tuff. How about stay home, don't get behind the wheel until you are stone cold sober, and not under the influence of anything other than oxygen ? Si vis pacem, para bellum Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."Theodore Roosevelt-1907. I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
What about those drivers who are sober? Why should they be subjected to an unconstitutional checkpoint? This isn't about drunk driving - it's about giving cops a chance to go on a a fishing expedition. This isn't about drunk driving - it's about giving cops a chance to go on a a fishing expedition. " Well Deck, I have been through them before. Being sober, I was passed through. You should know by now that I am against a police state, and am against cops exceeding their authority, and being abusive. I have children, adults now. Someday, I hope to have grand children. It is an indisputable fact that drunk drivers cause a lot of property damage, personal injury, and death to innocent people. I DO NOT want harm to come to myself or my family. I have personally seen broken bodies pulled from wrecks because someone thought they could drive, when they should have stayed home. Yes, if I am sober, it might be an inconvenience. But I will accept that to keep my family & others safe. I will always side with you against abusive cops. Always. But on this, I will have to disagree with you. I made many mistakes when I was young. I woke up one time in my driveway, car still in gear ( I did turn off the ignition ). I had been at a club with two girls, 25 miles away, in another state. I did not remember driving home. I thought about that, realizing I could have run over some kid, or somebody's dog. That was it. My new policy then, and still today is quite simple. If I have just one drink, I will not drive, not even to the end of my driveway. Have a good safe day, and be sober if you are going to drive.
