Ozark, Missouri Police Department Begins Nazi Like DUI Checkpoints: Violating the Fourth Amendment

DUI checkpoints are a violation of the Fourth Amendment. Without any probable cause, police departments around the nation are pulling drivers over without probable cause and forcing them to answer questions and subject to the demands of the officers, and many times we find out the federal government is subsidizing local police departments to create these checkpoints, which makes the violation of the Fourth Amendment greater. Getting behind the wheel of a car at night is not probable cause.

The Ozark Police Department, who is complaining about a shortage of officers earlier in the week, weren't short on officers on Friday night as they began participating in the great American police state. Let's set something straight here. Checkpoints, whether they be a TSA checkpoint at the airport or a DUI checkpoint in your local town, benefit from your ignorance and condition people to answer questions they don't have to without thinking about what their rights are. I fully believe our government is getting its people conditioned to accept these checkpoints while also getting people used to answer questions without hesitation. This is the model of the police state, and it is very Orwellian. Governments from Hitler's SS to Stalin's USSR prey upon their citizens like this.

I drove through the checkpoint last night located on Highway 14 heading west totally aware of the Fourth Amendment. You should be too.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Our founding fathers wouldn't approve of DUI checkpoints. Benjamin Franklin said those who give up liberty for security deserve neither.

Now are federal government is working hard to molest the Fourth Amendment like they are doing with most of our rights in hopes these inconveniences called rights will simply go away one day thanks to American ignorance. In the last two years, even Barack Obama argues that when you step out of your house, you give up an reasonable expectation of privacy to justify further wiretapping and cell phone tracking of Americans. Notice what the Fourth Amendment says. It says to be secure in your persons, not just your house, and it also says to have your papers secure from unreasonable searches too (drivers license).

The Ozark Police Department or any police department for that matter cannot state that simply getting into your car and driving is probable cause, nor can they demand that you produce papers when there is no probable cause. These checkpoints are clearly a violation of the Fourth Amendment.

I remember when Springfield, Missouri, began setting up DUI checkpoints in the early 1990s. I remember a man dressed up as Hitler outside of the checkpoint to protest it. I thought the man was insane back then, but today the man is an American hero standing up for the Constitutional rights that I wasn't taught very well in school.

Now notice how the Ozark Police Department acts when you play the Fourth Amendment card on their checkpoint. The officer calls over another officer citing a police code 316. Watch the video:



A 316 is a street disturbance/demonstration. So in other words the Ozark Police Department don't want you practicing the First Amendment to call them out on a Fourth Amendment violation or they label you a 316. Do you see where this is going?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Was my question a threat to their checkpoint? Of course it was, but it wasn't threatening to the officer and wasn't a non peaceful assembly. If more people would challenge these checkpoints using the Fourth Amendment, then perhaps we could kill another violation of the Fourth while denting the armor that is the new American police state. "Your papers please."

By the way how much did it cost Ozark residents to have all these Ozark Police officers wave people around and did they have permission of the private property owners to set up their Nazi checkpoint?
