I'll give someone the complete set if they'll burn it to something digital (and give me a copy). <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> I have no way to get cassette to any form of digital.

Send it to me. I'll see what I can do <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

What I was referring to is that having a drivers license is a privilege and not a right. The privilege of having one comes with conditions of its use, one of the conditions is the possibility of being stopped at checkpoints, and being open to searches, and providing your identity, address, vehicle registration, and auto insurance coverage, and even state where you have been. Unlike being in the act of driving a car, had he just been walking down the street, he would not have had to answer any of the Q's or even provide an ID card w/o the officer having "probable cause", and refusing to talk to an officer isn't "probable cause".


Not confused at all, I know you don't have to submit to any of the DUI field tests. However not submitting to them you are voluntarily giving up your Dl for 6 mos, which is one of the conditions of a DL. If you know you are drunk and decided to drive anyways, it would be far wiser to just refuse the field tests and surrender your license on the spot, providing you weren't in an accident there isn't any arrest/court appearance/fines, just loosing your license for 6mos. I am not sure how the insurance companies take this, they really can't increase your rates/drop you for a DUI since you didn't get charged w/one, though I imagine they have some loophole to charge you more anyways.

Bump for another checkpoint going up, this one a little closer to me.

Not surprising, as the Distrikt has a rich history of violating citizens' rights in the name of preventing crime. I have no reason to visit that area, but I expect there will be a few people testing the police response with lawsuits already drawn up just waiting to be filed if they slip up, and that's just fine by me. The more the collective ignorance of the mayor, city council, and police dept leadership is exposed, the happier I am. Living near DC, it's like I can watch the Three Stooges just by turning on the local news. It would be funnier if they weren't so criminally incompetent.

"Police say recent drive-bys and such violence is so bad that they're going to stop and question motorists driving through and if they don't like their reason, they'll be refused entry"

Refused entry to a public street, can't wait to see that lawsuit. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

The operator of the motor vehicle failed to comply with an order from a Federal Agent to pull over to the secondary lane.

The detainment process was already initiated at the check point process.........
