I think theyre doing something like that on the highway next to my place. Im glad too...i live across from a liquor store and theyre always bumping into each other in front of my driveway.
My question is why is Homeland Security involved in the violation of a state law ?
Terrorism's been slow lately.Quote:

The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security is taking a new approach to DUI patrols with a "No Refusal" campaign.
This means that people pulled over who are suspected of driving under the influence must take a blood test if asked to by the officer. Previously, a DUI driver could refuse to submit to the blood test. The "No Refusal" law passed this year changing that law.

Hmm...
Has anyone seen the 4th amendment laying around ???
The Tennessee Dept. of Safety and Homeland Security seems to have misplaced it somewhere...
If seen, please notify the proper elected officials by kicking them out of office this November.
Thanx.

The only thing that makes sense to me, is a DNA data base?Quote:

One way or another, big brother is going to get your biometric information in the future.
I just saw that in an X-Files re-run the other day. Funny how what seemed so absurd and horrific just a decade ago could be so close to normalcy.Quote:

Wrong answer. Their priority is obey the Constitution. If they see someone weaving or behaving erratically stop them. That is like saying we are going to go into everyone's house to see if it is a meth lab and claiming that their top priority is public safety.Quote:
Officials say keeping drivers safe is their top priority
This ain't all that good an idea me thinks.........
Thats next. There is vast support for this among folks who think it will only happen to the other guy.Quote:
