Sobriety Checkpoint Salinas, California
After years of local communities having sobriety checkpoints, I decided I would assert my rights as an American. If the police truly wanted to apprehend drunk drivers they could set up next to a bar or nightclub (parking lot) and pull the same type of “sobriety checkpoint”, and realistically have much more probable cause than they had stopping people at the locations they normally set up. Or setup between midnight and 2:30 AM on the roads coming into town. At least that way they’d catch the people coming back from Monterey, where they’d party till that time. I didn’t record the stop, as I was unaware of local laws regarding recording police activity. California has laws against using a cell phone while driving. Once you decide to assert your Constitutional rights I suggest sticking to your “guns” and don’t let the officer goad you into becoming defensive or hostile. My passenger stated that I was “stone faced” during the exchange. I understand that the officers on duty are “doing their jobs”, and I have no ill feelings towards them, I just reject what they are trying to do based on my beliefs of liberty.

"Raw Video" High Speed Police Car Chase Thru Downtown Dallas,Texas; Suspect Surrenders 4/19/2012
Dallas,Texas-A police chase that started in Seagoville, weaved into downtown Dallas, then Mesquite, and back into downtown Dallas has ended. Around Noon Dallas police began pursuing a burgundy colored Ford Expedition SUV. The case is believed to be a kidnapping involving a woman and a man — who is the father of her child. The man was believed to have a gun. Sources told CBS 11 News the driver has a pending arrest warrant for aggravated assault, apparently after last week shooting at the female that was inside the vehicle with him during the chase. CBS 11 News reporter JD Miles learned the driver/suspect had a cell phone and was in contact with Mesquite police while driving. The man reportedly told officers that he wanted to pull over but was afraid to stop. At about 1:00 pm the driver pulled over near the intersection of Griffin Street and Pacific Avenue. The driver/suspect got out of the SUV, with his hands up, and laid down on the ground. Officers immediately took him into custody and converged on the vehicle, removing a female from the passenger side.
