DUI Checkpoint Video

I'm too lazy to add quotes here.

The purpose of the stop is to observe, visually and audibly, whether drivers are impaired. He refused to let the cop observe him by only cracking his window. And then he answered abnormally. I don't see how you don't get this.

So you can't see and hear through a cracked car window? I don't know about you but I'm pretty sure you can see through normal car windows. It's not like he had super tint on them.

Clearly, you do not.

Nice quip, as usual, all sizzle no steak

He only started yelling at him when he refused to pull to the side and instead started saying "AM I BEING DETAINED!?!?"

So asking if you're being detained is warrant to being yelled at? Lovely.

This proves what I've suspected all along: you aren't paying any attention to what I wrote. I've already said their is plenty of very real cop abuse and that the dog stuff was bullhockey. Congratulations. You lose.

I'm paying attention to what you have been saying, but you're using your typical meta speak of staynig high above things without actually giving a real opinion. About par for the course but I was hoping for better.

I think they are different for different reasons. One is a mobile property and one is not.

But you never answered my question, if a cop knocks on your door - thinks you could be high, and asks to search your house for drugs. If you say no, then what? Isn't that enough reason for the cop to be suspicious and go in your home?

What was the reason for the cop knocking on my door?

I was talking in a more grand scheme. Your land is in the US, they can take it from you if they choose. Not saying they will but neither can the government just take your car.

If you don't think your house and a car should have similar policing as far as searching goes, then lulz.

Do you understand when, why, and how they take your land? The gov't cannot come up to my house and simply take it.

No lawyer, but they would need a warrant or probable cause to search my house correct? f the cop comes to my house for loud music and I open the door a quarter of the way and act suspicious (while being a dickhead) and tell them to get a warrant, I'm probably asking for them to go get a warrant, correct?

Why are you being a dickhead for not allowing a stranger into your house?

And yes, he can go get a warrant - but if his suspicion is simply you asking him to go get a warrant- then good luck.

But the question was, should he be allowed to search immediately based on his suspicion. Should you allow him to - especailly if you have nothing to hide?

No, the act of refusing the search wasn't being a dickhead. The kid acting like a dickhead to the cop was acting like a dickhead. "AM I BEING DETAINED!"

In my case if I have nothing to hide, I will let an officer search my house. But, I'm 99.999% sure I will never have that happen. I don't hear of a lot of cases of completely innocent people having their homes searched due to a cop answering a call for loud music or smells, etc and the homeowner being a dickhead.

Asking if he is being detained is a reasonable question. It should be on the official record in case court.

And last week we had a party at my house, and a cop came and then demanded to come inside to ensure we were not serving people undersage. I explained that we weren't and he insisted to come in to ID. I told him, no he cannot come into my house without a warrant. He tried to intimidate us by letting us know how much trouble we were going to be in. I told him he can not come into our house. He then called two other policeman to come to the house. I went inside back to my party. In 10 minutes there were 3 cop cars outside of our house with their lights flashing. I came out once again to ask what the problem was - as we turned down the music. They told me there is suspician of underage drinking. I asked what the suspician was, and they told me the people looked young and that I wasn't letting them inside. I told them they either need to go obtain a warrant or they need to leave. The original cop got on his radio to his boss (I presume), and 2 min later, they left and never came back.

What is your point of that story? You didn't let them in, they went away (like you want to happen). I would have let in so they wouldn't bother me.

Why were the cops called?

The point was that does indeed happen and may one day happen to you.

The cops were not called. One was driving by the neighborhood and stopped on his own. He was being a dick on purpose and I was a dick back to him. I asked him if he had anything better to do, and told him how disappointed I was that my tax dollars were funding calling 3 different cops to sit outside of my house for no reason.

If I let them in my house, then they will do it to the next person and so on. Maybe next time, they will think twice about it - because the original cop looked like a bafoon when they all had to go away after all of his threats.

If I let them in, they are now bothering me and everyone else at my party. I'm glad I stand up for my privacy rights unlike you.
 
As I expected you acted like a dick to the cop.

You probably acted a lot like the kid in this video.

I have had cops come to the door. I have volunteered to let them check things out if they would like and in both instances they declined and went on their way.
