Stated this was unconstitutional and they became
more and more attack mode like. They did not care about rights
and wrong acording to law. I thought I was in a nightmare in 1929
Germany.

One of the officers was even cooking
hotdogs and had refreshments! Who were these for I wonder? Maybe
if they let you pass through that was your reward! God help America!

Wooster police, OSU campus police, State Patrol
and Wayne County Sheriff cooperate on these roadblocks to "educate"
the public about drunk driving and to let them know "they are
always on the lookout". This forced detention and reeducation
reminds me of North Korea, not the US. According to the paper,
during the last 8 pm-midnight roadblock, police stopped (illegally)
229 vehicles, searched (illegally) 29 of them and arrested one
person for impaired driving.
