They will often search your vehicle without "probable cause" just
because you're on the road. The good side is that they target against
drugs agressively. |

| When
I was stopped at the sobriety checkpoint I was very nervous and
very stoned but the cops honestly were not to bright about things.
I made several obvious errors in my speech and still was not tested,
although there were many teenagers my age being tested as I drove
by, I believe they were going more on looks, I was dressed very
nicely at the time, from what I could tell most of the people being
tested were either in dirty clothing, black, or dressed expressing
their individuality. |
