Always ask... "WHY AM I BEING STOPPED OFFICER?" "AM I BEING DETAINED?" "AM I FREE TO GO?" Those are the only things you should say to these LAWBREAKERS. NOTHING MORE!
On the afternoon of February 1, 2008, I was stopped yet again at a suspicionless internal Homeland Security checkpoint on SR86 in Southern Arizona near mile post 146. The location is over 40 miles North of the border.

This was the fifth time in three weeks I've been stopped & seized at this checkpoint absent reasonable suspicion. Normally, there are only three or four agents present with two patrol vehicles parked nearby. This time the scenario were dramatically different.
The 4th amendment was specifically created to protect us against this type of arbitrary enforcement activity by over-reaching federal agencies. It would seem however that the 'writ of assistance' is alive and well in modern day America and everyone is now considered a suspect.
Far from increasing the security of the country, these checkpoints serve as little more than obedience training for the burgeoning American police state.
