Roadblocks in Nebraska
I-80 approximately 20 miles east of Grand Island
Seward, Nebraska
Large signs shortly before the checkpoint announcing "Drug Checkpoint Ahead" and "Drug Dog in Use Ahead." The actual checkpoint is not on 1-80 itself, but at the exit right after the signs. The officers probably expect that anyone carrying drugs will quickly try to exit to avoid a checkpoint, so the checkpoint is located at the exit, out of sight of the highway.
Of course I wasn't carrying any drugs, so I wasn't worried about proceeding on I-80, but when no checkpoint appeared, I realized it had to be at the only exit shortly after the signs. I wonder what the locals out in the remote Nebraska countryside think about getting stopped by the state troopers all day and searched for drugs when they take the only ramp from the highway to town.

Military Road by Mormon Momument

If you display fear they will pull your car off the road and question you further while they run a check on you for outstanding warrants. I have asserted my rights to not be detained without probable cause and have been allowed to continue on without producing my papers.

One time they gave out a little something to people who were using seatbelts.. I live on this highway, and it always backs up traffic so far that I can't get out of my driveway..
