Police Checkpoint Proceedures

[DavieD55]

I think the issue is that we see an ever increasing 'militaristic' equipping of our local law enforcement units. There seems to be a trend over the past 20 years or so, to blur the line between the military and local law enforcement. Not just through equipment but also training, tactics and attitude.

The military attitude is much less "innocent until proven guilty" than our "civilian" laws portend.

While i believe that our local law enforcement agencies has just cause to up-gear, up-train and up-tactic due to the increasing capabilities of threats, I also believe that there is a very real 'Orwellian' threat facing the citizenry of the U.S.

Oh yeah, the boogieman terrorists that will get us... As Jmaes Madison new long before we did...

"If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."

There is now a domestic threat that has been created which is anyone who does not bow to the agenda of the current administration.
