Re: heads up Florida peeps 'vehicle inspection checkpoints'
I know they set up check points on I-75 north of miami way back in 1990 at night. They put up the yellow reflector cones to form one line to the right into a rest stop where they ask you questions and if they suspect you, they wave you over for further interrogation and searches.

This meant cars, trucks and bikes.

FHP announces daytime driver license, vehicle inspection checkpoints
List of targeted roads in Tampa Bay is here

AMPA BAY - The Florida Highway Patrol Troop C (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk, Pasco, Hernando, Sumter and Citrus counties) has announced the roads it plans to target with driver license and/or vehicle inspection checkpoints in February. FHP says the checkpoints will be conducted during daytime hours, and generally cause delays of five minutes or less. Scroll down for a list of all affected roads.

Here are your questions (submitted via Facebook and Twitter @TampaBayTraffic ) about the checkpoints:

Q: Is this legal?

A: There is a policy established by the Florida Highway Patrol that specifies the legal guidelines that must be undertaken by the agency to conduct driver license and vehicle safety inspection checkpoints. The information provided below comes directly from that policy, which was provided by FHP.

These checkpoint schemes have been vetted by the SCOTUS and it doesn't seem like these random "just checkin' type things are allowed under their rulings. Here's a link in case anyone wants to check it out.

Re: heads up Florida peeps 'vehicle inspection checkpoints'
Had a bunch in Ohio today also. I was driving along a main road and had cones and flaggers directing people to a side parking lot and the sign said vehicle inspection ahead. I saw multiple DHS cars and trucks along with state troopers but pulled off before they could pull me in. This has been running once a month now near the beginnings of each month.

Re: heads up Florida peeps 'vehicle inspection checkpoints'
Q: What's a "driver license checkpoint”?
A: Troopers will request the driver license and vehicle registration from each driver detained. If a driver is also the owner or registrant of the vehicle, the Trooper also may request proof of personal injury protection (PIP) insurance. FHP says violations will be enforced pursuant to Florida law and Division policy.


They are detaining you without probable cause.

You dumb fuck Americans better not comply or else they will eventually put a chain around your neck and call you toby.

I left the USA for good because I saw this shit coming many years ago.

USA was once a powerhouse great nation full of good wholesome people, hard working, salt of the earth, now a complete cluster fuck bunch of weirded out loonies that would make Jerry Springer proud.

The fall of an empire happening right before our eyes.

Texas requires an annual inspection sticker (Initial inspection lasts 2 years for New vehicles).

Because the inspection is required annually, we don't have to put up with this crap.

Basically this is to make all you folks in Florida say "Oh, thank God!" when they implement the Florida Annual Vehicle Inspection for $24 dollars per year, per vehicle.

Tax you and make you fucking like it.

This shit will happen everywhere eventually. It's all about control and raising revenue.

Just because your car passes inspection at one point in time does not mean it will pass on the road sometime later.

The idiot who posted "inspect away" will be the first to rat-out a gun-owning neighbor when they erode the 2nd Amendment to the scraps of history.

The newly hired Fema Guard looked at his fellow citizens and yelled "Inspect Away!" He felt proud wearing his new DHS uniform and his mother loved the extra food rations he brought home from the camp almost as much as she loved the two lightening bolts on her son's collar.

"Inspect Away." What a fucking maroon, doc.

I live in the keys and they have a constant checkpoint on Marathon. They don't really stop people. Just stand around in the road all night scaring the drunks.

I'm not for cops doing this shit at all but in the keys it is obviously necessary. Some drunk almost hit my wife and kids head on the other morning. Luckily she reacted quickly. Had I been there I would have followed the dude and beat the fuck out of him.

Re: heads up Florida peeps 'vehicle inspection checkpoints'
This already happens in Louisiana. They normally just kind of look at inspection sticker and registration on plate. They sometimes ask for license. Is this legal? I thought they normally need to publish DUI checkpoints in advance isn't this basically the same?
