[QUOTE="rod, post: 1221964, member: 5382"] Minnesota ruled years ago that Gestapo tactics like mandatory road blocks were unconstitutional. Now at least they have to make up some BS excuse to pull you over. The road blocks have nothing to do about "safety"-----they are just another cash cow milked by law enforcement to justify having bloated police departments that were brought about by all the extra cash passed out to fire and police departments after 9/11. Our local County Sheriffs dept as gone from 17 deputies to 73 since 9/11. If the population of the county had boomed I could see why-- it but it hasn't. We have approximately the same population today as back then. They all drive new squad cars, look 18 years old and think they are Gods gift to law enforcement. It don't help that the local college has law enforcement classes and both the State Patrol and DNR train new troopers and Game Wardens here. (for those of you who aren't familar with Game Wardens they actually have more power when it comes to stepping on your privacy rights than other law enforcement). [/QUOTE]
