What B.S. law started in Florida? I think Fla has about the same motorcycle laws as S.C. Our exhaust laws have been allmost unchanged for 30 years. and most have been in line with ya'll. Just wondering when someone puts my state in the same quote as Kalifornia.

Its a fine line there , I dont think it wud be "legal" to target one group and not check others ..
On one hand you can say its unconstitutional ,
On the otherdevils advocate says , you're on the highway and you are agreeing to abide by the laws of your state , and the police have the obligation to verify that fact

Give up one freedom and you will lose others. It's not that hard to figure out that it is profiling, just not enough people care enough to do anything about it. Roadblocks are illegal and have been proven but people never go against The Common Good for All Stand up and bitch about loud and long if you have to ////\ AMA ABATE take your choice

Yeah you're right , but until we have someone like Malcolm Forbes , with lotsa money and power get hassled , it is pretty fruitless

Does your comment include DWI check points also? Just asking. JMO, Just to stop someone for no reason just because we ride is a waste of time and money. But on the other hand, if they catch someone drinking or using drugs, then I agree with the stops. Don't won't to be in the obituries in the paper because of some idiot.![Wink](https://www.hdforums.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)

There probably are other exceptions but basically I think random roadblocks are wrong and mostly used as a cover to look for something other than the stated purpose.
As far as drivers drinking or using drugs, there are other effective ways to catch them and they are used all the time. I don't want to give up my rights and freedoms just so I can feel safe. You know, like Patrick Henry declared before the American Revolution, "give me liberty, or give me death".

I think it's hilarious that you talk about something being unconstitutional and then follow it up with a quote by Patrick Henry, a man who was a staunch opponent of the Constitution and its ratification.
Pick which side of history you want to use.

Had a long response typed out for some of you guys but decided it really wasn't worth it. Have fun.

Roadblocks are basically unconstitutional and I, for one, don't need to be hassled because I had two or three beers after work and then rode home.
It's just more big government control and that's the last thing we need. There are plenty of cheaper and more effective ways of making sure everybody is legal and not drunk.
Don't forget to call your Rep!!
