DUI Checkpoint Refusal Again

- Опубликовано: 4 июл 2013
- Motorcycle rider is detained at a police roadblock and refuses to answer questions and declines consent to search under his goggles.
Same rider, same motorcycle, different gear, different result from July 4, 2012 Tahoe roadblock. The rider is recognized by the cop, who says the rider's name while the rider says goodbye. The audio is edited at this point for the rider's privacy.
Stopping that the STOP sign was a smart move. They would then have had a reson to pull you over and give you a ticket.
Not a legal stop. Stop sign on his left is not for him.
@@davemoody9868 they would still give you a ticket for it. Maybe you could fight it in court but I doubt the judge would let that slide
@@Nordkampf let what slide? If the stop sign didn’t apply to him it wouldn’t be difficult at all to prove to judge, they can’t really do much after that’s proven
The stop sign (stop AND PROCEED when clear) and the mere ASKING of questions with no expectation of answers are the only constitutional parts of this shit. The stop sign is designed to give them ample time to peek into your vehicle while remaining outside and look for anything to detain you for.
I love how he rolls up to the stop sign, dutifully stops, and then rides off. If there was ever a time to be a stickler for the rules, it's after shutting down the cops like that.
The fact that he REMEMBERS his rights and the way he answered calmly to me shows he isn't drinking. Awesome job.
He must've been following the Pot Brothers at Law and their 25-word script!
I mean, fair play to the cop. Dude said no thanks, cop said have a nice day.
this guy actually did his job properly and did not detain him
+2strokeYardSale somehow I commented on the wrong video
god what have I becomes
if a dui driver is not detained and kills your family did the officer do the right thing.
+william scott yes
I can *barely* ride a motorcycle sober. I can't imagine trying to do so under the influence. Keep on asserting your rights, sir.
People do it
Wow. A cop who understands the constitution.
Surprisingly that cop who inquired you was a good cop. That is a rare sight. Mostly they make a scene if one denies to comply.
Those are literally only videos you see posted to the internet. You will never see a cop letting some one pass normally posted because that won’t cause an outrage and that won’t get clicks
@Matthew Cacophony well that’s a made up statistic but with even one bad apple out of the almost 1 million man police force combined in the country it would behoove anyone to regard them with suspicion just like any other stranger you’d encounter in public. These guys are humans just like anyone else not robots and last I checked you wouldn’t let a random person you don’t know stop you and question/ search your belongings even if “you have nothing to hide” it’s a privacy thing. Another difference between a police officer and your run of the mill stranger is they have much more power and qualified immunity. You have rights, they are there for a reason, use them. Our rights and our entire legal system is designed to make there job more difficult that’s why we respect them for having a difficult job.
Only Karen's denie
@@Monkforilla you see the video above lol.... so that’s false
@@lcplshmuckatelli1360 ya ur definitely a Karen if u decide to exercise your rights
So...who is chasing after the bad guys while these cops are sucking up the overtime blocking traffic and disrupting the lives of citizens?
They are the bad guys.
DUI check points are a huge waste of resources
until its your college daughter that gets killed by a drunk driver..
@@ronrobinson3872 wahhhhh
@ronrobinson3872 then they should do it outside the bars. How many dui do you think they got on this road with all those cops. And would they get more dui with them officers outside the bars? A total waste of resources. A 3 year old could find a more effective way to find drunk drivers.
Cop was professional and polite. He obviously knows the law. That's why he asked him to do things and didn't order him. No abuse of power. Now, if the guy on the bike pulled up and dropped his bike or fell over, there would be cause to check for impairment. But he didn't show any cause for further detainment. That being said.... the guy on the bike didn't have to be rude exercising his right to pass on through. Cops are people too. Be polite and courteous to everyone and the world will be a better place for all of us.
He's not rude he got places to go people to see and they're impeding his travel.
Using logic and reasoning, and behaving like a rational civilized human being...those traits are not supported around here apparently. Something something nazis taking away my free travel rights 🤷♂️
the last few comments were very good comments! he handled the situation well, he is a law abiding citizen therefor they have no reason to stop him or ask him to do anything. how would you feel if someone random, even not a cop as he wasn't suspected of a crime, stopped you and tried to ask you to do things that normally wouldn't be asked of a person doing nothing wrong? the answer is you wouldn't be happy about it, if you would be, id say that you don't seem to enjoy the freedom our country has to offer and should go to a country that supports your values.
How was he rude? He was perfectly calm and polite. Just wanted to get on with his day.
I’d love to be illegally detained and sober. My attorney will be in touch.
This officer could clearly tell the driver was not intoxicated he had no reason to stop him and is decent enough to not flex is authoritative muscle. Good cop imo.
Noticed that full 3 second stop at the sign,last thing you want is a reason for them to pull you over.
@Maxx Damage its not a legal stop sign.... its just like the stop signs in shopping centers on private property, they are suggestions.
If i put a stop sign up at the end my my driveway, its not a enforceable sign
An example of a knowledgeable, courteous citizen meeting a decent, informed law enforcement official.
It looks like there's a lot of argument on here about what the motorcyclist is doing. There are many people on here convinced that the police have a right to get answers from him. What you all need to understand is that this type of stop is very likely illegal for the cops to do at best and its the motorcyclist that has all the right's and powers in this situation. People think that police have these magical "police powers" that gives them the right to do what they want.. THEY DON'T. They're power is limited in the 10th amendment of the US Constitution! The powers in the people ya'll. This guy is checking the govt powers for us! Good for him!
No arrangements here, I am just blown away that the civilian has the rite not to answer nor comply. As mentioned down under in Australia 🇦🇺 we would get drink driving charge and the rest for that “behaviour” ( for lack of better word ) keep on doing what you are doing otherwise your rites will slowly erode away… Have a good one!
@David Greene yes well true I suppose..
@David Greene I wouldn’t say we are all idiots, same similar ratio as you yanks I suppose..
Maybe I'm old school, but I think cops should have to pick out the drunks the old fashioned way. You know pull them over based on their poor driving. Not just get to pull everyone over and force everyone to stop and pass a test to get to continue driving. Call me old school.
Agreed, but you have to realize the end goal(at least, the merit based one) which is to prevent fatalities from DUI's.
eric grabin But NOT at the violation of the fourth amendment of the Constitution. Educate yourself and read it.
***** of the constitutional rights that police officers break, this check point is something I don't mind. if you had a family member that passed away in a similar situation you wouldn't have such a response..
I have had a few family members pass away in the same situation and I couldn't agree with this guy more maybe we both are old fashioned
Then I'm old school too! LOL! The cops know this crap is illegal!
Cop asked if I was drinking I replied " Are you buying?! "
yeah i said the same thing, cop said "sure", i felt very uncomfortable in the bar where everyone was dress as cops and had leather on but they were extremely friendly bunch a chaps.
Cop seemed like a nice dude. At the same time I understand where you are coming from I don’t like being questioned and asked if I’m drunk lol. Everyone has their right to freedom in this country.
Why don't they set DUI stops outside a cops bar, they would get loads of drunk cops driving there
That can't be done period, "cop bar" or not, that's entrapment.
Thin blue line, that’s why.
@@bwhite182 cops pull people over they follow from bars all the time. Just not other cops.

He was not a dick , he knows his rights and exercised them with respect. Kudos!
Does a drunk driver have the same right? If so, then how do you combat drunk driving if you can just "assert your rights" and drive off. Not a very clever argument.
@@ThesenamesAreLame If you're too drunk to assert your rights then you deserve to be arrested. Any other brilliant questions?
I remember watching this video years ago when it was relatively new and I could swear that most of the comments were supportive of your actions. Now I see most of the recent comments are negative. More evidence that this country is circling the drain.
What's your opinion on this issue?
The end is near and the internet is a huge part of it , the trash that this country is raising today are a bunch of self serving two legged morons that can't function in the real world because they believe that they are protecting something , a right or something. I like most adults know what my rights are and because I decided to drive into a DUI checkpoint my rights aren't being violated in any way.
Dui checkpoint out in the forest at day time.....that county must have a serious drinking problem
flipgurujn probably during a long weekend looking for drunk campers. They do it out by my parents place in the country every summer.
Or they don't want to work after 10 pm because it is cold and dark.
You know what would be cool? If the motorcyclist's life was on the line and he asked a cop for help, and the cop said, "Uh, no thanks."
***** You're a dumbass
Courts have ruled that police are under NO obligation to help anyone at anytime for any reason. They only have to do the paperwork.
filoIII What lol? Please show me that ruling, even a law abiding citizen can be prosecuted for not helping anther person in danger (Unless of course helping would risk placing you in danger)
Dany NBA Warren v. District of Columbia, 444 A. 2d 1 - DC: Court of Appeals 1981
"In a 4-3 decision, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial courts' dismissal of the complaints against the District of Columbia and individual members of the Metropolitan Police Department based on the public duty doctrine. The Court explained that "[t]he duty to provide public services is owed to the public at large, and, absent a special relationship between the police and an individual, no specific legal duty exists." The Court adopted the trial court's determination that no special relationship existed between the police and appellants, and therefore no specific legal duty existed between the police and the appellants."
Castle Rock v. Gonzales, No. 04-278
The courts have ruled police don't have to protect anything.
filoIII I've made some quick research, to familiarize myself with the case, and wanted to respond but while I was reading another person's comment on the case, I thought that he explained the situation better than I would, so I'll just link you his statement.
It doesn't say that police aren't obligated to respond to emergency calls. They are.
It says that they are not obligated to you, as an individual, to respond to your emergency call.
What's the difference? The difference is in what happens when they screw up, as they did in the case of Warren v D of C.
If they're not obligated to individuals, then screwups face internal discipline, whatever that might be, or (I think) criminal charges if they screw up very badly.
If they were to be obligated to individuals, then the individuals could sue them for not performing their duty, because they failed in their duty to that individual. EDIT: In other words, it would become a private matter between the individual on the one hand and the police on the other.
And as bad as the case in question was, I seriously doubt that adding literally millions of lawsuits to the criminal justice system (which is what would happen) would mean faster responses. It would, rather, mean more resources going to fighting lawsuits and paying when they're lost, and fewer resources left to actually respond to calls.
Honestly, the officer was very genuine here. This is a totally legal checkpoint. If your sober, you have nothing to worry about.
Wow, this comment section is full of Statist. Those who believe that the state has all the answers and is there to protect and serve you.
See how they stick their heads into the vehicle to claim they smell something? If there's a vehicle they want to search, they simply claim they smell weed and/or alcohol, and your rights go out the screen door of the submarine.
@llkidd Violation of everyone else rights is not an answer.
@llkidd That's a good question. The answer is to stop the courts from letting go on so many technicalities the drunk drivers who are caught. Most of them don't get the severe penalties they deserve. Violating people's rights in the name of leaving the weak court systems in place that fail to punish the drunk drivers themselves is not an answer. It's the EASY answer, and it moves us closer to a Marxist police state as a nation. Anyone who's willing to give up a few rights for a perceived higher level of "safety" is not worthy of the freedoms so many others fought to defend. Had you ever been out on a battle field to defend our freedoms, you would have a whole different outlook.
It's always funny how many pot heads think no one can smell their weed though.
@@Kartkid024 True. It's also sad how many cops think they are empowered to exercise police state authority.
Wow, USA is so free the cops can just pull you over for nothing...
They can also arrest and convict for nothing.
@@2strokeYardSale Hey now, they have to put a reason in the "probable cause" box, which is why everyone has red eyes and smells like weed.
It's s checkpoint
@@tommohughes7134 Yes, exactly. Everybody gets pulled over and interrogated by the police regardless of whether or not you have committed any crime. In what way does that express “liberty”
Makes me happy that I live in Wyoming as checkpoints are prohibited by state law.
I like how professional and calm this stop went lol was great.
If they want to catch drunk drivers soo badly , then why don’t they sit outside bars at night waiting for drunk drivers to pull away before they get in the middle of nowhere where it looks like this roadblock is set up . Wake up the road block is to write tickets not to catch drunk drivers
Because not every drunk is at a bar.
Because corrupt lawyers and incompetent Judges have labeled that somehow as “entrapment”. They pretty much have to wait for the drunk driver to kill someone. Then respond and deal with the aftermath.
good thing you stopped at the stop sign
Geez!!!! There has to be 20 cops out there wasting people's time and taxpayer's money.
These controls are legal in my country, and its a good thing. Drunk driving used to be a big problem. Still kinda is.
@@fredriksvard2603 Still "kinda" is? I think it will only get worse, along with impaired (weed) driving. Dont get me started.
If they catch on intoxicated asshat, they earned their pay. When you lose someone to a drunk driver, you will understand.
I do wonder if they catch anyone.probably only ones that turn around before the checkpoint
It is sickening how officers are sitting on the shoulder of the road facing the opposite direction. This is for anyone that decides to u-turn back. There is not much of a difference between organized crime and law enforcement
No, that's just expected when they set up the roadblock where it's illegal to make a U turn. What's sickening is when they lobby the legislature to reduce the distance of the required warning signs, thus ensuring nobody can legally avoid the roadblock after the sign.
and it's such a nice sunny day to have a beer and go for a drive!
@@2strokeYardSale It's only a problem for people who are under the influence and drive, or transport drugs or weapons. Even traffic human beings. But this isn't about any of that, this is all about you and your warped sense of self-righteousness to which I say GFY.

Wow! ...... Me: Nah, I'll be on m...
*Cop thrashes me*
He has a gun, he has a gun... Bang 💥bang 💥
On today's news; Everette Lawson III is shot by the cop, in what seems like racial profiling. Officer said he thought he saw a gun, and mistaken Mr. Lawson milkshake for a gun.
Incredible!!! He refused to lower his camera AND asked to leave, AND he was not throwned to the ground, shot 10-41 times, and then charged with assault and resisting arrest. Just amazing. !!!!
You can tell by the comments, which continents people live on.. having abdicated their personal rights decades ago.
DUI checkpoint my fucking ass! It's the middle of fucking day!
shmeet depends though what if it was a holiday weekend
Exactly, if this is about keeping drunks off the road they would set up at 2am on roads near bars.
Here's the problem ...the schools aren't teaching the constitution of the United States and the rights there in
After reading your comments, it seems pretty obvious they aren't.......glad I got lucky and my school required us too.
DUI check points are unconstitutional to begin with! Some states such as my state agrees!
The cop ended up not violating his rights. Looks like he did his job right.
If a cop stops your car and asks to perform a dui check, and if you refuse he then takes you to jail, is that a violation of rights?
I just say 'No Habla Ingles' with my best speedy Gonzales accent.
"Are you detaining me?"
"No sir."
*accelerates* LATER BITCHES
bro i love your art...
I went through an insurance paper check point last week . They were not just looking for papers , thats just the excuse they were using . Missouri .
What do you think they were looking for?
Late afternoon is the perfect time to find DUI people. I wonder how much in overtime pension costs this little charade cost...
Polite and to the point. Well done.
No joke the fastest ive ever seen this done lol
I work for the force for 4 years in EU now. For example, higher rank officer says that at 12 AM we need to be some place and make a roadblock and check every car drivers license and we do it. In our rights by stopping car we have full right to do visual car surveillance and check up. Also driver MUST show all the document and face. I dont do more than my laws are forcing me to do, but oh boy i do love such cocky boys who dont know laws and talk shit, if i see one on ordinary checkup, i make that 30 second stop to 15 min full check, to the technical car inspection from measuring allowed tire wear to fire extinguisher and light reflective vest. And i 99% find something missing, goodbye technical inspection. Dont be cocks, we are just asking and doing stuff we are ordered to do. I am not getting any enjoyment for punishing nice people for felonies they do. Stil, all this work pays off when you do good deeds and help people and they say "thanks officer"
Pig!
you would have made a great Nazi.
For the boot lickers saying “this is their job”.
They didn’t do anything during the riots.
They didn’t do anything during the alleged “insurrection”.
They didn’t do anything at a school shooting.
But they can do this. Stop people that have not been suspected of a crime or traffic violation and obstruct traffic.
The Supreme Court has ruled that they have no duty to protect.
Perhaps there are more productive uses of their time and resources.
If not, then we have no need for them.
So you know the law now uttering the words "Supreme Court"....lol....Please stop while you're ahead. lol
Exactly. Waste of people’s time and tax payer dollars when they can be frying bigger fish. Land of the free my ass.
I don't even drink and i don't agree with DUI check points, the police make it do you don't even want to leave your home over fear of being Harrassed.
In the constitution ...the right to free interstate travel
Such an efficient way to use taxpayer $. If there was only a way that police could detect drunk drivers on the road. I don't know, perhaps by driving on the highways and observing drivers doing stupid shit.
Rare, but nice to see an officer who recognizes that he can't detain people on baseless hunches...
Not a roadblock apologist by any means, but the officer in the clip didn't detain him. The stop was technically voluntary until the biker asked permission to leave, at which point the officer stated that he was free to go.
@@veryfarfromhome Exactly, once he said he's free to go, all questioning stops there. Unless the officer has probable cause for him to be drunk like smelling alcohol or not coherent in his speech.
it's like a fast food drive-in, except they'll do anything they can to take your time, take your money, take your freedom, and take your life if necessary and you'll get nothing in return!
People go to fast food restaurants of their own free will, to exchange money for goods and services, where the establishment is held accountable for bad service.
Start complying with this kinda shit, and they will just take another bite of the freedom apple.
Complying with what? Keeping drunks off the road? You’re a clown.
Tommy boy, go ahead and be the sheep, your "we gotta do something", act on emotion, give my rights away system is a trap you set for yourself. At least I am a free thinking clown, you ass hat
curtis Long // If a bite out of the freedom apple keeps my family safe, I’ll take it. Somebody’s gotta keep the chaos in check. You’ll understand when you have kids. 🤙🏻
Good for you, so where do you draw the line? Should we consent to searches to cross the state line? Be patted down to exit a store? Be forced to open our doors to have our homes searched without cause? Because that's what these checkpoints are is a search without cause. I have kids and a wife, but I want us all to remain free. Good day
curtis Long // if they’re storming into my house and raping my wife that’s one thing. If their only objective is to keep the general public safe then I have zero issues letting them ask questions, pat me down, or whatever. Who cares? If I was in a hurry it would be agitating but I’ve got nothing to hide. Do you? - how many planes have gone down since they beefed up security @ airports? It’s the price of admission. Fine line between freedom and safety. I suppose I lean a little more towards safety.
I’v gotta stop commenting on RUclips videos. It’s a time zapper. ☮️
I always drive around with a can of beer between my legs.
Seems like a huge waste of manpower, . . . .betting they net one DUI per 500 vehicles. Could have 5X that number just patrolling the roads. Easy money for the officers involved.
I grew up running from cops way back in the sticks on sport atvs here in the swamps of nc back in the day but I always understood they had a job to do just like everyone else. Now I’m in my early 20’s and drive a log truck for a living so I deal with them almost on a daily basis and I’ve never disrespected them or gave them a hard time. I’ve gotten more warning tickets instead of citations for that very reason along with building relationships with a good bit of them. They have a job to do just like everyone else. As long as he’s not a dick to begin with don’t give these guys a hard time, get to know them and it might just save your ass one day.

This is facts. Humans are just humans and the only certain way we can prevent bad cops/civilians is by raising them correctly.
It isn't their job to stop everyone on the road, they have no probable cause to do that, so it is ILLEGAL
Tanner that's exactly the way that rational Americans think and the sissy's on here screaming about right's being violated are pathetic individuals who are hiding something to begin with and most likely are Duh Linneal's .Operating a motor vehicle on a public road is not a right period and Real Americans with standards don't give Law Enforcement Officers a hard time unless they are hiding something. I was stopped on my sport bike 7 times in 3 years and only got 1 warning out of those 7 stops, the warning was for 87 in a 55 . I never got tickets because like you I owned my mistake and cops know the difference, it's why most of these morons have been or are tied up in courts on drug charges, driving charges or just plain being stupid in an intelligent zone.
You drive commercial it's different you have way lesser expectation of rights.
@@misterrees Checking sobriety on a public road has zero to do with rights, these people want to operate on public roads but don't want to be confronted by people doing their jobs. Give up your DL and get a bike or take a bus if you don't like it is the only option for them.
The cop's eyes looked glazed. Was he eating donuts?
BAHAHAHAHA!!! That's hilarious!!!
Guess they learned from the last DUI stop, lol.
actually a good cop. He did exactly what he should have
It's pretty interesting how so many people get up-in-arms about you refusing to answer questions that they had no particular reason to ask. If someone was showing signs of being drunk, it'd be a different story, but if the person seems sober, the cops have got no reason to pursue it, so no harm done. That's what the cops are *for* after all - catching people who're actually breaking laws and endangering people, not testing every seemingly law-abiding citizen they come across "just in case". Setting up a place to watch people drive by, and being able to quickly respond to someone driving erratically is perfectly fine (and is beneficial to us all), but stopping each and every driver to have them make a case for their innocence is crossing a line.
I guess some people just have it drilled into them from an early age that you must comply with authorities no matter what, and become noticeably upset when they see someone with more self-respect (and wisdom) than them.
They’re your rights.
Use them or lose them.
@@AFishBicycle im sorry, there is no right that says you can refuse a DUI checkpoint. But there is a law called implied consent that means you must consent to a breathalyzer. Nice try bud.
Andy's Shop you have the right to travel freely. They clearly let him go without giving him a breathalyzer. So you’re wrong. Nice try bud.
I agree with you in most things except for one statement "I guess some people just have it drilled into them from an early age that you must comply with authorities no matter what, and become noticeably upset when they see someone with more self-respect (and wisdom) than them"
You'll have that for sure, but not in all cases. In some other it's not just a matter of "complying with authorities no matter what"
I personally prefer to comply with alcohol tests cause I got nothing to hide, right? so if the stops made by the Police reduced the amount of people actually driving under the alcohol influence (Cause they'll be caught and got out of the road) and eventually will lower the impact of the amount of accidents ocurred; for 5 minutes of my life? sure I'm happy.
I feel self-respected when I'm aware of problems affecting my community and I try to add a grain of sand to solve them even if I have to give some minutes of my life.
@@RichardTexTexx I guess that's a difference of perspective, then. I don't enjoy or agree with the sort of policing that involves treating every citizen as a suspect, and limiting/inconveniencing them beyond reason (the reason being an actual piece of evidence that gives them cause to investigate). "Having nothing to hide" is not a valid reason to subject myself to something, just for someone else's peace of mind. You can apply that logic to *anything,* and then the question becomes "how far are you willing to let them take it?" It's a rather lazy way of thinking that breeds more problematic situations down the road.
If a cop told me that I was swerving, or otherwise acting like I might be slightly intoxicated, I'd oblige in answering that I've not had anything to drink, and let him shine a light in my eyes. But as long as I'm still within my legal boundaries of what I can decline, and if I know that the officer has no actual reason to be investigating me, I'm gonna go about my business. It comes down to personal responsibility - sure, there are people out there that WILL be slightly drunk that can hide it, that will decline any questions and keep driving... but I'm not one of them. What lowers incidents of drunk driving, is the cops paying attention, and taking action when needed. If they're doing their job correctly, they'll be able to tell when there's a concerning amount of evidence towards the person being worthy of testing. I help my community lower crime _by not committing crimes._ As far as I'm concerned, that's where my responsibility ends.
Our nation is founded on INDIVIDUAL rights, which seems to go contrary to stopping people in mass like this, just to "check and see" if they had any alcohol to drink that day, which might be none of their business. Suppose a man had six beers 18 hours ago. Would that be any of their business?
The only thing missing here: Him saying "Zeigen Sie mir Ihre Papiere" in a black leather trench coat with a skull and cross bones black hat
Just so blatantly unconstitutional, when will this be stopped?
Wish we could do that in Australia. No way you’re getting past without getting breathalysed or ID checked.
Not even if they tell all the cops at the roadblock to be on the lookout for you and let you through without hassle?
So you couldn't just say no and cooperate with the cop?
Of course not, you big bad tough guy!
Some people are not willing to give up a right as easily as you suggest.
But why, Harvey? You're not letting them search you or take your property, they just want you to answer a few simple questions. The cops weren't dicks either, they were being nice.
Nick Gaul
Why what, decline to answer questions? Because I don't want to. I need not explain the exercising of my rights, I get to exercise them for any reason or no reason at all.
"they just want you to answer a few simple questions."
The driver never stopped them from asking.
"The cops weren't dicks either, they were being nice."
OK.
Live on Your Knees, we will die on our feet. You see, this little country we live in was founded on principles. They rebelled against England for this same reason. Tyranny is disguised as "For your protection" but this type of "spirit" is not taught, you have it or not. Based on your response it's clear how you are. It also appears that there is every little that you would stand up to.. Where is the line that couldn't be crossed for you? 1st child must be given up? You see, you try to say no , prior to that kind of stuff back in the old days.. U think it's silly , well others think your lying down is silly. Therefore, realize what you prior generations did for you. How are you trying to "preserve" what they did? What are you doing to help stop silly infringements? (Besides, that checkpoint is not keeping you safe) you have people on cell phones who rear end people everyday & you know it) alcohol related accidents are wayyyy down, but they r the only ones posted on the news. & it's for a reason; the news continues the propaganda so when you come to the check points you "agree" or "go along" with them because you saw the news clip about that "drunk driver" ... You see how it works? Distracted driving such as using cell phones is the #1 cause of accidents. But they don't enforce cell phone usage. Know why? Cause "they" use their phones all the time ;) It's called conditioning, & perceived reality being used against the public & it's working! (Man I hope you really read this, cause I've just put down some knowledge :) Stay awake, stay aware, stay vigilant! Don't let these fools play you as a Fool!
Nick Gaul"they aren't talking your rights away."
I disagree with your opinion. So do the courts. Instead of just visiting here, let's see what the courts say about law enforcement officers who detain based only on a person declining to answer questions.
“The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that refusal to answer law enforcement questions cannot form the basis of reasonable suspicion. See Florida v. Bostick, 501 U.S. 429, 437, 111 S.Ct. 2382, 115 L.Ed.2d 389 (1991) ("We have consistently held that a refusal to cooperate, without more, does not furnish the minimal level of objective justification needed for a detention or seizure.") - U.S. v. Santos 403 F.3d 1120 (2005)
"Terry encounters must be brief; the suspect must not be moved or asked to move more than a short distance...and, most importantly, the suspect must be free to leave after a short time and to decline to answer the questions put to him." - Kolender V Lawson
Now with subtitles. Notice how unlike other roadblocks this officer asks specifically about alcohol, but still doesn't form a proper question to the rider. And like other roadblocks, this one is not set up according to state law.
I've seen a lot of videos like this, and for some reason, the phrase "no, thanks" seems to usually work really well with cops. I guess it's because it sounds non-confrontational, but firm.
It puts the respondent in the position of declining consent.
@@2strokeYardSale That's true, yeah. It's also polite, which never hurts.
I doubt the reason why they're doing that is to keep the roads safe. they're doing it to collect... their collection stops.
I love how they have turn outs with cops waiting in them. You turn around they go after you. That is entrapment.
how will you feel if you lose a loved one to a drunk driver that might have been stopped at a check point are going to bitch that the police should do there job ?
@@chrisb3510 or maybe one night after discovering my wife's affair I try shooting her bf. Never commited any other crime in my life. But now a law abiding parolee I'm bound by parole rules to not have interaction with police and I don't feel like being felony stopped and guns pointed in my face for literally no reason. Maybe that's why I turn around.

Been out since August after 6yrs 10 months. Still get hot flashes when I see police because even though I'm not doing anything wrong ,not a criminal per se ( I work everyday and try and be a good dad) I'm terrified of how police will act if they ever pull me over.
@@chrisb3510 check that profile pic just for you.
Lying HA. that's literally how they got me cause I told the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me. No bodily injury but me confession , attempted murder.
I like how they have a motorcycle cop waiting to stop those attempting to avoid the checkpoint- despite the fact that it isn’t illegal to turn around to avoid them. What a racket.
I like the fact that they put the roadblock on double yellow highway, making it illegal to turn around to avoid it.

This is in Nevada, and it is actually illegal to make a U-Turn within a certain distance of a checkpoint. You can take any other detour if available but not a U-Turn.
To this very day I do not understand why this is not unconstitutional.
The 4th amendment 😊
how many drunk drivers do they expect to catch at noon?
+whitedevil2 You might be surprised.
+Ondrus21 jim lahey
You're quite funny when boozed :D
It’s Tahoe, I live very close to there, depending on the time of year, many people go to the lake beaches and get drunk, some a little too much, some in boats too, some make bad decisions and drive after.
Still not many. They still catch more patroling inside their cars. So that means they are actually letting more drunks on the road.
This is why its important to know your rights! Knowing your rights and being educated on how to assert them is one of our strongest weapons against tyranny.
At least he knows the law more than others, he did not detain you like the last guy.
I'm glad we don't have those where I live..
Cop asked me, "When was your last drink?" My reply, "1983". Ok you can go
Thats a good cop. Perfect example of how to acknowledge our rights. Tyrants take notes
I'll see yall again in six years. Until then, have a good life.
Roanoke same to you
At least the cops didn't give him shit and pull him into secondary like they did the first time. They learned something!
That officer was probably used to dealing with people like this. What I don't get is the purpose of these refusals. Are they trying to instigate change? Because I don't see that working. All they're doing is making other people's lives more difficult. The officer probably let him go because he realized that he clearly wasn't under the influence. The officer was being nice. If only people could understand that most officers are really are out there to protect and serve. Don't be a donkey people.
thingsdemystified Any effort to increase public awareness of these unconstitutional, rights-infringing checkpoint is worthwhile. Its the easily-led, unaware who submit to authority-abusing public servants that end up as victims of the system. And the municipalities/policy makers that only see the decrease in DUI fatality statistics are only too willing to dump more tax money into infringing upon citizens rights.
idriwzrd
When I encounter a checkpoint, I will answer their questions without giving them a hard time. Why? Because I have nothing to hide. I do not drink and drive, and I do not possess illegal substances. What rights am I giving up? These are setup to make the roads safer. I don't understand where you're coming from, so if you could please explain.
I'm coming from the position of understanding and enjoying fourth amendment protected rights.
Would you also allow an law enforcement officer into your home without a warrant, should he demand a search?
That you do not exercise you right to free speech, should you give it up also?
That you have not been made to bear witness against yourself, should you not be afforded that protection?
JeffersonDinedAlone
"A simple question to try to ensure community safety on the roads is hardly an infringement of any kind."
Unlawfully extending this detention just because a person declines to answer questions is an infringement.
I like how he comes to a complete stop at the stop sign just to be extra safe.
Extra safe from being another source of revenue for them.
1:40 he sounds like he came from medieval age shouting at the roads of Paris
These are so Unconstitutional
Yea, what’s the matter with these unconstitutional cops trying to keep the roads safe. Boy, they got some nerve.
@@beatles1000
Officers at a DUI checkpoint can stop and ask questions. They do not have the authority to continue to detain just becase a driver declines to answer.
SCOTUS ruling in Delaware v Prouse, which has never been reversed or superseded, includes:
"Except where there is at least articulable and reasonable suspicion that a motorist is unlicensed or that an automobile is not registered, or that either the vehicle or an occupant is otherwise subject to seizure for violation of law, stopping an automobile and detaining the driver in order to check his driver's license and the registration of the automobile are unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment.""
@Omedchazak613 and they are always right?
@Omedchazak613 nope...i was stTing MY OPINION
@Omedchazak613 no one complained about the OJ jury? Lol
THERE YOU GO, THAT WAS PERFECT !
Around here traffic guards, not police, are sometimes doing this. I do not even drink alcohol at all. But since the police do not even do this themselves, I do not even acknowledge the traffic guards when they wave me down and ask me to pull out. If they were actual police, I would stop and tell them I do not drink alcohol and leave. But for glorified security guards, that strikes me as stupid. I do not even acknowledge them. They are called traffic guards, here but I call them wannabes. Their job is to assist others if they are having an emergency or car problems. But nowhere does it say they can operate any sort of roadblock. I just go around the cones and flashing yellow lights. Even if the police give them permission to do this or ask them to do this, they are not police. I do not even look at them. They come out and take a picture of my license plate as I continue on but what are they going to do?
People actually siding with checkpoints in the comments are delusional. Police checkpoints have been great all throughout history am I right?!
Yeah cause no one has ever been injured or killed by a drunk driver... oh wait, it’s one of the leading causes of death in the US. Cops are real assholes for trying to keep our roads safe. Sorry it’s an inconvenience. Moron.
Sovereign citizen douchebags.....all talk
They’d change their tune if they were affected by one of these drunk drivers
Then lets have cops come in your home and make sure you know how to handle your guns. People die day year from fire arms. People die every day from obeseity related illness, you don't see Hostess check points at the grocery stores for a reason . It sucks people drink and drive, but its a free country. It may be against the law but so is speeding and texting while driving. If you don't like it then educate people or give them a ride. Otherwise, shut your mouth. You're the problem , not the solution.
Brett Gang if you eat hostess cupcakes that’s great. Do it till your fat heart explodes. You’re not taking anybody with you.. it’s when the self-destructive behavior that you have can affect other people that it becomes a problem and needs to have a system. For example, it’s not illegal to smoke cigarettes, but it’s not legal to smoke them in private establishments. Nobody wants to die from your stupid secondhand smoke. Nobody wants to be a victim or have anyone else that they care about be a victim of your reckless behavior getting drunk behind the wheel. Any attempt to argue this point is just flat out stupid. It’s not like it’s one opinion versus the other. It’s common sense versus complete stupidity. Take a walk with that STUPID analogy!
Brett Gang you TRULY don’t get it do you?? Are you epically selfish or stupid? I truly don’t care about the people that drink and drive if they hit a tree and die. I DO care about OTHER people that are obeying the law and get hit by drunk drivers. If cops set up a roadblock to ensure that some drunk asshole doesn’t kill an innocent person, I’m ok with it. You think that’s an offensive thing to do. It’s strange to me that this minor inconvenience that saves human life is so offensive for you. I wonder how many lives have been saved by dui checkpoints?? We’ll never know because would-be victims are still living. You’re making a stand where you put lives at risk - which makes you selfish. Sorry, it just does.
Love that he actually stopped when he reaches the stop sign
I seems like road blocks should be totally unlawful.
They are.
Those fuckin cops bottle knecked everybody down that road with out any chance for anybody to detour. That is forcing everybody to go thru a warrantless search and seisure.
Go tell that to the family who loses a loved one due to the acts of a drunk driver.
Why don't you go ask them how they feel about cops trying to remove drunk drivers off the roads.
Or do you have a better way of doing this?
And since you think it's a warrant-less search and seizure, can you take it to court and have the DUI's checkpoints stopped?
Do that, impress me!!
Robert H Why is the only argument most people can come up with is "tell that to the family who loses a loved one due to the acts of a drunk driver"?
SO you feel that law enforcement has a RIGHT to disregard your Constitutional RIGHTS for the "supposed" increase in safety to others?
That is a slippery slope sir and that kind of thinking will only lead to the faster downfall and elimination of OUR rights in the name of safety. You should remember this: "They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety and will lose both"- Benjamin Franklin
Robert H fuck that shit, guilty until proven innocent is fucking bullshit. and I'll tell that to anyone.
DUI check points don't disregard your constitutional rights. The USSC stated that in 1990. Deal with it. And no, it's not a slipper slope at all. Maybe you don't have any regard for personal safety of others and are only concerned for yourself, but I do care about the personal safety of others. And I will support any measure to help make our roads a little bit safer. That includes even having to sit for 1 or 2 minutes.
The DUI checkpoints are not going to go anywhere. And as the USSC decided in 1990, it's up to the states how to conduct them. Deal with it.
Take your act on the road, you're funny!!
Again ! Wow you poor bastard ! Well done for being strong...Respect.
It's called entrapment isn't it? Why don't they hang outside of a bar at 2AM instead of stopping people on a highway in the middle of the day?
No it's not called entrapment. They stopped a lot of people on a busy highway in the middle of the day because they generated a lot of revenue that way.
@@2strokeYardSale I get the incentive for a municipality to raise money via speeding tickets, red-light cameras, parking meters, etc., but how does stopping people on a highway generate revenue? Unless they were indeed drunk and then fined.
@@gtsteele6219 this is a kid with a youtube channel that doesnt know the law, how road side stops or fines work. Dont bother

Thanks for showing people that exercising rights is a real thing. Show the power tripping officers that responsible citizens shouldn't be harassed for the mistakes of others.
These roadblocks are NOT unconstitutional. Although the U.S. Supreme Court has found sobriety checkpoints to be constitutionally permissible, ten states (Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming) have found that sobriety roadblocks violate their own state constitutions or have outlawed them. All states driving licensing privileges are tied to complied consent; that is to say that law enforcement has the right to do this based on your decision to go driving. Since California and Nevada are not among the 10 states that have outlawed the roadblocks, this is perfectly legal at Lake Tahoe.
Until the constitution is amended, it is unconstitutional to not be allowed to travel unmolested with no probable cause that a crime has been committed
***** I agree 100%. I've always said "implied consent laws" are bullshit. I'm not making this up when I say I actually know a guy who got a DWI on his riding lawnmower! However, I'm just saying that, since it's on the table, the officers have the "right" to do this in certain states. It sucks. I'm sure glad I live in Minnesota!!
This is the only "true" statement. Read it and learn.
That police officer is awesome
