I was out on a little errand with my girlfriend to the baby store, just outside the shopping center was a DUI checkpoint with 50+ Police units including officers in training, Sheriff’s Department, Deputies, etc. The checkpoint started before 6:00pm (way before anyone starts drinking, during peak traffic hours in Orange County). I was going to record the small closed off area where the police where illegally searching and questioning people, conveniently for the police, the owners of the private property allowed them to stage this Nazi Stop, making it against the law for civilians to audio or video record the operation. This didnt stop me from pulling out my camera and filming the outside operation and asking a few questions.

Armed Citizens confront Nazi Checkpoint
Armed citizens confront Nazi checkpoint in Livermore, California. 4th of July weekend, 2011. Police Departments use checkpoints to perform warrantless searches and steal vehicles from undocumented drivers. Organize against checkpoints in your area! Join Abolish Checkpoints: www.facebook.com *UPDATE* Based on their own statistics, the Livermore PD subjected 1200 drivers to unreasonable searches and only busted TWO drunk drivers at this checkpoint. That means less than 0.17% of those asked “show me your papers” were drinking! Since 11 vehicles were towed, we can conclude that 82% of the vehicles were stolen from undocumented drivers or people with registration issues. We all know the real reason they have these checkpoints. The cities and law enforcement agencies make MILLIONS ($40 million across CA in 2009) from these fascist checkpoints.
