I just went to town to wash my car and was detained
for over an hour. They asked me over andy over about illegal drugs,
firearms, if I had any warrants, etc. Drug dog was sent around
my vehicle, vehicle searched and had to do a sobriety test. I
had done nothing wrong and they had no right to treat me the way
they did. I have never experienced anything like this. I now know
my rights regarding road blocks and this will not happen again.
Thank you. |

This checkpoint is right in front of the boat dealership and is mainly setup going north into town. best thing is to avoid this area complete late at night. Moreover, it is very likely there are other checkpoints going on at the same time on the other highways leading into town. |

This particular ROADBLOCK site
is located just before an Exit, and a sign is placed that Declares
an upcoming Drug Check Point. The Roadblock, Checkpoint sign is
just before an EXIT, and says it is located about 1/4 mile down
(or up) the road. Everybody who gets off the exit in hopes to
avoid this roadblock are the ones stopped! The sign is a trick
to get you to take the exit in hopes to avoide the checkpoint!
By taking the exit, you bring your vehicle into the actual Roadblock!
BEWARE! |

This roadblock has been set up
three times in the past 2 years, usually during the summer. Twice
it appeared to be a sobriety check for Memorial Day for Lake Thunderbird;
another time it served no purpose we could think of except for
revenue generation (this was about 4 pm on a weekday). During
the times we encountered this roadblock we were required to produce
drivers licenses (both driver and pax) and insurance cards. |

They will do anything in their
power to get an arrest out of you. On top of that, accusing me
of using drugs. McCurtain County is so poor this is the only way
they can make money. Know your rights ahead of time, dont let
OHP stick you with a BS DUI like they did me. Oklahoma, you could
learn something from Texas here. |
