I don't agree with DOT hiding behind the word "safety" to be able to pull over ANY truck for ANY reason at ANY time. That's tyranny, not freedom, and could very well possibly lead to the same thing with cars down the road... (don't put anything past them), I feel the same way about dui checkpoints, totally unconstitutional imho.

I’m just curious - what about checkpoints set up by border patrol? Not the ones on the border itself, but the ones set up within 100 miles of the border like the ones occasionally seen on norther NH and VT interstates? Also, what about stop and frisk laws? I’m torn personally as I see potential for public good while also potential for serious abuse.
