This video is enlightening,
exposing yet another facet of this hopelessly corrupt and pointless cultural
war. And like the sheriff says, they've failed. The social costs are beyond
calculation.
Just as a supplemental note...
It's not mentioned in the film but these checkpoints also function as a
'shakedown'. Many people pass through and just like in the video are ushered
into a waiting room while the car is searched. Unlike the teenage fools in this
film they are released, and it's only much later that they discover cash and
valuables are missing.
And there's virtually nothing
you can do about it.
It's quite literally highway
robbery.
Thankfully as society collapses
these checkpoints and other such attempts at creating a police state will fade
away.
But... if it's revenue they're
after, they may keep these things running and let the murderers go free.
Sometimes it seems like we're already there. The police are often keen to go
after the easy money rather than deal with anything that will lead to costly
prosecutions.
This is also why most District
Attorneys wield the plea-bargain as a weapon and very rarely go to trial.
Our system is beyond broken.
The powder keg is being packed full.
How much longer can all this go
on?
