Plan Ahead to Avoid Obama’s Motorcade
President Barack Obama is returning to Los Angeles Monday during rush-hour traffic for two fundraisers and a taping of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno . He is scheduled to depart SoCal for San Francisco mid-morning Tuesday. Obama will arrive at LAX between 4:30-5 p.m. Monday. He will be flown from the airport by helicopter to the UCLA area to avoid the closure of the 405 Freeway, according to L.A. City Councilman Bill Rosendahl. From there the president will motorcade to Hancock Park for two fundraisers held that evening. Rosendahl said motorists should be prepared for blockades on major east-west boulevards linking West Los Angeles with the Hancock Park area. “Sunset, Santa Monica, Pico and Olympic [boulevards] are under consideration for the route to Hancock Park for the fundraiser[s],” Rosendahl told KNX radio. Delays are also expected on major north-south avenues that cross those throughways, especially streets between the 405 Freeway and Highland Avenue. On Tuesday morning the president will tape an appearance for Jay Leno’s late-night talk show, which is located at the NBC studios in Burbank. More delays are expected in the Cahuenga Pass and Burbank area. The exact route of Obama’s motorcade will not be revealed, nor will the location of where the president is spending the night. He is scheduled to fly out of LAX at 11:45 a.m. Tuesday morning. Rosendahl told KNX that he has been told by the Secret Service that there will be no hard road closuers. “After the president clears a certain location, they will immediately open up the streets,” he said.

Unconstitutional DUI / Driver’s License Checkpoint Santa Maria, California 9/10/10
SANTA MARIA, California — Santa Maria Police Department conducted yet another unconstitutional and illegal DUI / Driver’s license checkpoint as part of California Office of Traffic Safety’s (OTS) “Year of the Checkpoint” campaign for 2010. The Santa Maria checkpoint was only one of more than 2500 (ostensibly) OTS-funded checkpoints which are due to be carried out within the state of California during 2010. (Following the money trail, the funding actually traces back to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which is an agency under the federal Department of Transportation (DOT), which is a cabinet position under the President of the United States.) If OTS’s “Year of the Checkpoint” campaign is successfully carried out, then California drivers will endure more than 208 of these unconstitutional / illegal checkpoints per month. “To my knowledge, California conducts more checkpoints than any other state,” said OTS Director Christopher J. Murphy. While DUI checkpoints were officially (if unconstitutionally) sanctioned by the Supreme Court’s Michigan vs. Sitz case, driver’s license checkpoints were not.
