Checkpoints all over Charlotte....ugh
So, I have to go pick my girlfriend up from work tonight. She works at a restaurant in uptown Charlotte where all the shit is going on.

They have checkpoints all over the place where they'll be searching people's cars as if they were at a border crossing. I've already seen this in effect on Sunday.

Guess I'll have to hide the crack pipe.

Yea I know OP tell me about. I am on the southside and I haven't been out at all this week. I am a little distance from downtown but watching the news makes it look martial law has already taken place. I was actually a little scared seeing it on TV.

I was kinda pissed when my girlfriend asked me to take her and pick her up...

There are a number of things I'd rather do than drive into that mess. Things that make the list: Lighting my pants on fire, eating dirt, firing myself out of a cannon...you know, things like that.

Bingo.

I'd put up a fight, but my girlfriend will likely be spending the night at work lol

Since I got pinnage, I'll make this thread worthwhile. I'll take some pictures tonight with my phone and upload them to this thread when I get back.

I'll even ride with the top down to get a nice panoramic view.

The checkpoints start out with these strange white speedbumps that look like the things you drive your car onto when you go through an automatic car wash. I suspect it has something to do with looking for car bombs.

Then they do a nice once-over of your car by looking through the trunk and shit...all completed with an attack dog present.

If you have any access to a motorcycle or scooter that would solve the search problem, weather permitting. Even if they search it there's not much to search.

.

The hippies & blackies are pissed at Obama for reducing the size of
the stadium for his speech tonight from 75,000 to 15,000.



The dopers must have thought he was giving out free marijuana tonight.

The rest were just coming along for boxes of free government cheese.

Beat me to it.

Had to do a google image search to remind myself what a checkpoint looks like as I've only ever seen them in movies.

I used to have a motorcycle...then I hit a deer on it. Long story short, I no longer ride a motorcycle lol.

I do have a Mazda MX-5 though, that doesn't give too much more area to search than your average bike.

everything within 100 miles of the border, land or ocean, is a constitution free zone. Within that zone they don't need a warrant. I know that the DHS doesn't need a warrant in that zone....

I have had to drive to the Epic Center every morning and every evening to pick up my daughter, who is interning in a national newsroom covering the DNC since last Saturday. The car gets searched every single day. Ugh. I am dreading tonight.

Probable cause is one lie away. What they do is take the dog, walk around your car, and say "Yep the dog alerted".

Then when they tear your car apart and find nothing they blame the dog.

It probably won't help that I've dropped roaches in various places in my car on a couple of occasions...
