Iwould likeyour comments and opinions on this concerning the legality of checkpoints. It isfrom the SC AG but since they reference several different states and the SCOTUS I thought it was quite informative. As I read this it appears that checkpoints are legal and the "Am I being detained" defense doesn't work.
