Another story about our checkpoints working TOO good..........BOO...HOOO!!!
REGION: "Activists call checkpoints unfair"
Oceanside police, other agencies say checkpoints a useful tool

OCEANSIDE ---- Civil and immigrant rights advocates on Wednesday decried the increased use of law enforcement checkpoints around the county. Also on Wednesday, Oceanside police blocked a major artery into one of the city's predominantly Latino neighborhoods in an attempt to catch unlicensed drivers.
Members of the American Civil Liberties Union of San Diego and Imperial Counties and other activists said at a news conference in San Diego that the heavy use of these checkpoints by local police and U.S. Border Patrol agents was creating a "checkpoint society."
They said the checkpoints were eroding people's constitutional rights against unreasonable searches and seizures.
"The power to set up checkpoints to detain people, search them and interfere with their right of movement should not be just another tool in the police officer's tool belt," said Kevin Keenan, executive director of the local ACLU. "They should be carefully chosen and rarely used mechanisms because they interfere with the fundamental concept of American freedom

That's their way of whinning to get more media attention. I keep tellin'em'... If your Illegals weren't here, this wouldn't be happpening.
I don't think they realize how ignorant and immature they sound.
Typical of the ACLU defenders of society's very worst. They also feel it to be unfair to restrict pedophiles from meeting with children and swapping photo's.
Its no surprise that every ACLU lawyer I have ever seen looks like a total ass.
Then why even issue driver's licenses or have people get smog and registration? Just make it a damn free for all and every driver for themselves. We don't need police then either do we? Let's just roll it right to 3rd world status tomorrow.
Car insurance? What's that? Hell I'll save thousands a year without that. I should be allowed to carry all my guns locked and loaded in the front seat too. I'll make my own damn laws.
We have a two tiered system going on here, one for Illegal Aliens and criminals and one for law abiding Americans. I want to PUKE.
Like most extremely leftwing radical liberals, if it were up to the ACLU we would have complete open borders between the U.S and Mexico because they believe in the concept of a one world nation. The ACLU is no different from the National Council Of La Raza when it comes to their extremely soft stance on illegal immigration.
if you are speeding and get in an accident, it is your fault because the assumption is made that if you werent speeding, you would not have been there at that time. Can we apply that to illegals? If you commit a crime against one, are you innocent because if they werent here illegally you wouldnt have been able to commit it?
