But don't worry, they're voluntary. (uh huh) Because nothing says "this is optional" like a uniformed, on-duty LEO watching over you. I'll see if I can dig out the story where this same program was rolled out in Texas and several motorists demonstrated it was far from voluntary.
Link to story on KING5 here -- http://www.king5.com/news/local/voluntary-swab-test-drugs-alcohol-drivers-261969751.html Edited to add: Here's the story on what happened in Dallas -- http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/North-Texas-Drivers-Stopped-at-Roadblock-Asked-for-Saliva-Blood-232438621.html Drivers funneled off the road, compliance seemed like the only way out to at least one person. _________________ "Hmmm.

"A police officer will be at each research station and prepared to make DUI arrests"

Hmmm. Maybe I don't see these "Checkpoints" as all that sinister.
I've been through them in several States. Went through the "screening" lane where an officer merely greeted me long enough to smell for alcohol Never got shunted off to the "extra attention" lanes, even when I was "carrying". Never asked for my ID or CPL. The checkpoints I encountered were clearly for the purpose of "smelling the air". Having had a leg partially amputated earlier in my life by a drunk driver I'm not so sure that this isn't a good idea. I support one's rights but I don't believe that putting other's lives at risk by abusing alcohol is a "guaranteed right". _________________ "I've learned from the Dog that an afternoon nap is a good thing" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother" - William Shakespeare |

a) impaired drivers might not be dumb enough to pull into them, sample will be skewed
b) they're paying $60 a pop, I plan to drive in for it 10 times. |

As we have heavily reported in the last few weeks, numerous government agencies have went on an ammo buying spree, with the total amount reaching well over 700 million rounds. “In the last three years numerous domestic US government agencies have ordered a total of over 750 million rounds of .40 caliber ammunition. That’s right, multiple government agencies that specifically operate primary inside the United States have gone on a literal ammunition spending spree in preparation for what they must believe will be some sort of violent event.” Whether it be 140 million packets of emergency food, detention centers in all 50 states,750 million rounds of ammo, or numerous bullet resistant checkpoint booths, the Department of Homeland Security is clearly gearing up for something.
