| Two times
in the past month or so, there has been a Georgia Highway Patrol
checkpoint/roadblock on Newton Bridge Rd. just south of Hwy 441.
They use the entrance by the swampy area to park their cars. Officers
are in the road passively checking IDs while looking inside cars.
The officer who checked my ID in passing was distracted by the car
containing several black people as it approached the officer stopping
cars coming in the opposite direction. I'm white and just sayin'. |

pull over and both were handcuffed and their car searched without
any stated probable cause or permission. They did not answer to
any ?'s and were not given a field sobriety or breath test. Drugs
mysteriously found on the floorboard. They stated that others were
in jail for turning before the stop. This seems to be a case of
profiling. |

information about this roadblock or notes on roadblock encounter: |
| while
driving home from a late movie, the roadblock in question was exactly
one street up from the road i live off of, and once i turned on
the street i had a helicoptor follow me 2 blocks to my house, once
i had parked and was walking towards my driveway, two police cars
quickly pulled up and told my roommate and myself to put our hands
in the air. They then made us put our hands on the hood of their
car, while they asked us if we were drinking, had drugs, or weapons
on us. I turned around to tell the officer we lived here, the officer
then shoved me and told me to keep my hands on the car. The insurance
sticker for 07 had fallen off of my vehicle, when i told the officers
that they acted as if i couldn't be telling the truth, and one of
the officers snidely informed me that it would be a citation (or
an excuse to harass us further). Once running the license plate
information, the officer then realized i was actually telling the
truth about the insurance and had no reason to keep us after being
embarassed about the reality of the situation. Before letting us
go, one of the officers asked us if we had anything we wanted to
tell them now, so they might go easy on us later. Two white boys
driving into a black neighborhood at late at night, seems like profiling
to me. |

| This
is a favorite of Atlanta Police, this should have already been reported.
This stop is designed to harass the Buckhead crowd when returning
to the inner-town regions (Midtown/Downtown). It would be a better
idea to stick to Peachtree St or the Atlanta transit system (MARTA)
on weekends if you've been drinking. Fulton County/Atlanta Police
will hit you hard if you get caught, no matter how arbitrary the
BAL. I've known friends who were sacked for 0.05s |

are here quite a bit but it is a "hit and run" approach where they

laid back on DUI. because they get so many 911 calls they do not
want to do the paper work They are under a federal court order NOT
to take in misdemeanors because the jail is way overcrowded and
in complete shambles |

information about this roadblock or notes on roadblock encounter: |
| This
Road block is set up almost on a weekly basis. Especially during
the summer months. I personally have been told to pull off to the
side because my eyes were red at least 10 times. (By the way I don't
smoke weed) Pollen season mostly. When informing officers about
this fact they told me to be quiet or they will find a ticket to
write. They stop ALL vehicles, typically 2-3 cop cars are there.
One car always is ready to chase. If you take to long to find licence
or anything they ask for, you will be directed to the side. Mostly
GSP and maybe every now and then a Hall county will be there. Its
always the same GSP cop. He looks like he's 16 years old and weighs
about 120. He always asks about alcohol. You will know its him because
his hat looks like a UFO landed on his head. |

the first roadblock and the area has a shopping center under development

information about this roadblock or notes on roadblock encounter: |
| This is definitly the sneakiest road block I've ever expeirienced. First you go down about a 3/4 of a mile strech that is not well lit. I came down a hill then immediately after I turn the corner there are blue lights flashing every where. So I slow down to about less than 5 miles per hour and try to slowly pass thru. One cop yell at me to stop my vehicle. So after I stop he walks up to my vehicle and realizes I have my high beams on only because he sees my blue dash light on the instrument panel. So he makes me park in an parking lot. Consistently persist on searching my vehicle for over 20 minutes but I continue to resist. After that he some how figures that I'm drunk. Wasted another 20 min of my time doin a field sobriety test. After all of that he writes me three tickets. One for not dimming my high beams, another for having baled rear tires, and then one for noise polution because my exhaust is to loud. Cobb county sucks! CountOnBeingBusted! |
