Counterattack road blocks stop everyone, they give a feeling of police watchfulness, they don't terribly impede civil liberties, and ... - Beryllium Mar 12, 09:06 11
- but what they're talking about is giving the counterattack cops the right to breatho everyone who goes through, which they don't currently have. -- nm - mafic Mar 12, 09:10 9
  - and groiny is saying that that escalates a roadblock into a "random stop", or something like that -- nm - Beryllium Mar 12, 09:13 8
    - breathalizing someone on "suspicion" is one thing. - groiny Mar 12, 09:14 7
      - I don't see the difference. they're already stopping you anyway, and it probably takes less time. - mafic Mar 12, 09:18 2
        
        I disagree. They xray everyone. - groiny Mar 12, 09:19 1
        
        they call it random, but they give them to everyone at the roadblock. they're not singling anybody out, and it's not the least bit intrusive. - mafic Mar 12, 09:23
      - this is a third option. Breathalyzing randomly. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 12, 09:14 3
        
        how is that and better than option #2? nm -- nm - groiny Mar 12, 09:15 2
        
        It only slows down a percentage of people, rather than slowing everyone down. Heh. - Beryllium Mar 12, 09:16 1
        
        I would be less opposed to hitting everyone with it, than I am this "random" shit. - groiny Mar 12, 09:18
