The vast majority of Gestapo informers were not full-term informers working undercover, but were rather ordinary citizens who for whatever reason chose to denounce those they knew to the Gestapo

If you knew the threats that are out there, you'd be demanding more of these checkpoints.
Though, for now... believe what you want about your evil government and TSA, they've earned that reputation and deserve it... For now.

Seems a little more then creepy, but may I ask a straight forward question NO ONE in the legal world has ever been able to answer? They say to travel in a car, or one would suspect any technological device, is a privilege not a right? Right? So you can walk anywhere, great. Just try getting anywhere fast walking. To use an infrascture that must co-ordinate its use with the powers that be. Hmmm. I suppose there is a certain logic there. But only some.
Setting up random checkpoints to disrupt and inconvenience the population is also a "privilege", rather than a "right". Wait and see what happens if the People ever decide to revoke that privilege which they never granted in the first place.
Talk about some good old fashioned "disruption"!
Pop popcorn for that event if it ever comes to pass.
I hear they've "trained" for "ambush scenarios". I have to wonder if they factored in "mobile ambushes". AKA "raids" into that planning.
Speaking of raids, I saw somewhere yesterday that a SWAT team was raided and had something like 30 of their high tech bullet-tossing gadgets liberated.
How embarrassing must THAT be?

The problem with this stupid border patrol monkey is that he thinks he has authorization because of some kind of probable cause. The problem is that the entire checkpoint is in violation of the 4th amendment, regardless of whatever legislation you want to reference. The patriot act is unconstitutional, but they are using it as 'authorization' anyway.
Clearly they pulled these guys over to harass them because they were videotaping, and nothing else.
The time is nigh, folks. Not gonna be pretty.
