“No Refusal” Checkpoints Now In Arizona – Police State
No refusal Checkpoint
Due to the 4th admendment right of no illegal search and seizure, this very type checkpoint should be challenged in court. Essentially, we now live in a complete police state.
Law enforcement can now get warrants on the spot issued from a standby judge. These warrants even allow law enforcement to jab you in the arm with a needle on the spot.
If we do not act now and stand up to this, it will simply be another win for the police state that has gained more and more traction each year.
Who knows? Pretty soon we might all end up in cages.

Posted this comment at the link for the full article,’ thought I’d post it here. Someone over there said this was nothing new, and my comment was in response; may find its way into a post.
To my mind, this is serious.
Sobriety checkpoints are not new, of course. What’s new is the ‘no refusal’ part. In the past, they only made it look like you could not refuse; in actuality, you could. Sure they could give you hell, intimidate you and whatnot, but in the end you had the right to refuse a search. Because one has the right to refuse a search — unless it is accompanied by a warrant.
Which is why this is so scary a precedent — I have never heard of having judges on call, issuing warrants on the spot. Makes the need for a warrant look like a technicality… Brings police presence and power closer to the omnipotence erroneously already attributed them by too many Americans…
