Any cop who believes checkpoints are constitutional probably would not lose
a drop of blood if a bullet were to pass through his skull.

Are Invasive, Unconstitutional " online at

BUENA PARK, Calif. (AP) -- A police checkpoint targeting
unlicensed drivers has ignited a debate between officers who
say
the random stops are necessary to remove dangerous drivers
from
the street and critics who argue they are unconstitutional.
Officers on Wednesday stopped every fifth car during its first
ever license checkpoint and found 20 motorists driving without
valid licenses and wrote 150 citations.
Drivers with no licenses or suspended or revoked licenses lost
their cars and trucks for up to 30 days.
. . .
The daylong checkpoint was modeled after random checkpoints
police conduct to catch drunken drivers or to enforce the
mandatory seatbelt law, but critics say the stops are invasive
and
unconstitutional.
"If we were stopping every car, then we might run into
problems,"
said Sgt. Joe Engelhardt. "We are operating under the same
laws
that you run into with drunk driving checkpoints. It makes the
public aware and it does have some impact."
In Ontario, in neighboring San Bernardino County, police have
towed more than 630 cars during checkpoints, held about every
six weeks since January 1997.
But Ramona Ripston, executive director of the American Civil
Liberties Union's Los Angeles office, said police are
violating
motorists' civil rights because officers "have to have a
reason for
stopping someone like that."
