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.

March 25, 2011 – Filming a checkpoint’s operation will get you passed the “specified neutral criteria established by supervisory law enforcement personnel” which directs everyone into the primary screening area. Here, the officers knew we were rolling tape and let us bypass their seemingly illegal operation. This inconvenient governmental intrusion was a serious waste of tax dollars and law enforcement resources just to go on a fishing expedition at the expense of public.
