CHECKPOINT REFUSALS - DUI Edition - Episode 1

[@brainmistrust8480]

According to a friend of mine, whose wife was a reserve police officer and considering going full time, if you want to catch drunk drivers, just wait outside a PD party, and stop any of the cops who get in their cars.

The key is asking “am I being detained?” If not, they can not keep you from leaving, if they keep you from leaving it automatically becomes a detention because you are not allowed to leave. Always “ask am I being detained” if they say no, then immediately leave without saying a word.

[@crispycruiser4654]

The problem is some of these numbnuts give conflicting orders. They'll say you are not detained, but are also not free to go, which if you then drive off is asking for trouble. Giving conflicting orders is a tool they use to then claim "obstruction" or not obeying a lawful order. Make sure, after you clarify you are not detained, ask separately if you are free to go and obtain a yes first.

[@r00pea]

The videos are interesting but not so informational, they could really use some analysis as to what the laws are and how they vary by state. Did the officers let these drivers go just to be free of the annoyance, or did they legally have to let them go? As it is, people watching videos like this and and imitating what they saw, assuming the drivers here are in the right, might be setting themselves up for a very bad day. Just acting based on what you saw someone confidently do on youtube is how we end up with "sovereign citizens". Surely the details vary between states so it'd be great if channels like this make an effort to properly educate.

[@papawx3]

DUI check points are "fishing expeditions", simple as that. However, the SCOTUS ruled them legal years ago, and if you try refusing one in my state you're asking for trouble. That's another bad call by SCOTUS. These drivers are released once the officer sees the camera, not because they respect your rights.

[@richardmorrison1985]

The way checkpoints are handled vary from state to state. Where I live they legally can't stop every car, there has to be a predetermined pattern. They also can't insist you take any sort of sobriety test unless they have reasonable suspicion that you are intoxicated, but we know how that can go. They also can't insist you answer any questions, like where you're coming from, where you're going. The only thing you're required to do is provide license, registration, and proof on insurance, other than that you don't have to speak to them at all. What these stops can and will turn into though if you give them a hard time is a safety check where they will do a spot inspection of your vehicle and give you a ticket for an alleged worn out tire, burned out side marker light, misadjusted headlights, you name it. A bullshit ticket that will force you to go to court where a judge will toss it out but not before collecting $30 or $40 from you in court costs.

[@ob1coyote]

All SCOTUS ever said was that you had to stop for checkpoints (still a mistake). Nothing more.

[@marcturk4410]

In our state I currently live in, our state Supreme Court said those are unconstitutional even game checkpoints, so they're the habitual offenders your honer 🤣🤣🤣☺👍🤓

[@isthattrue1083]

No checkpoints for DUI, seat belts, etc., were deemed illegal as they violate the 4th and 5th amendments. You have the right against unreasonable detainment, search, seizure, etc. Only in some states are seat belts even a primary stop and in most are a secondary offense. So you have commit a primary offense before they can do anything about a secondary offense.

In Canada you are forced to stop when coming across a DUI checkpoint. You are also forced to provide your name, address, license, and insurance. You are not allowed to refuse stepping out of your vehicle, and you are not allowed to refuse a sobriety test. If you do refuse you will be immediately arrested for refusal. If you decide to pull a U-Turn to avoid the checkpoint you can be immediately arrested since trying to bypass a checkpoint is illegal. If you refuse to answer any questions asked of you by an officer in Canada you will be charged for refusal, and arrested. Only after arrest can you remain silent. This is just a few of the things Canadians do not have rights in. believe me, Canada isn't a free country, it's become more, and more like 1938 Germany.

If they ask you to do something it's a request, not an order. So if they ask you to do something it's not illegal to refuse. If they tell you to do something, then it's an order and you have to comply. So these drivers were within their rights to refuse rolling down their windows. And because they committed no traffic infractions or any other crimes, the officers could not legally order them to produce licence, registration or insurance which it why the drivers could legally refuse when asked. And they avoided getting into a conversation with these cops too. I like the way they responded to the cops questions with "Am I Free to go?" "Am I being detained?" "What crime have I committed?" These drivers respectfully responded to the officers' questions with one of these questions and they didn't allow themselves to get baited into a conversation.

I work as an attorney in California and want to add a couple of things to what he's said in the video. Keep in mind my advice is based on California law so please check your own state requirements before relying on this information. First off - you may legally turn around to avoid a checkpoint so long as you do so safely and without violating any traffic laws. If you make an illegal or unsafe U-turn, you will most likely be stopped and cited - however, if you turn around safely and legally but are stopped nonetheless, your defense attorney can easily assert that the officer did NOT have probable cause to detain you. Also, any DUI checkpoint must be advertised to the public about 1 week in advance - if proper notice has not been given your defense attorney will most likely cite how in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hеll in a cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer's table.
