If I am stopped for slick tires or a broken windshield, so be it. The blanket stops of EVERY driver is unconstitutional because there is no probable cause, regardless of what some judges say. Half the laws we have in this country are unconstitional but govt doesnt give a toss. They are our rulers, remember? Free country? Not anymore.

You have no constitutional right totravel the public roadways with slick tires, a broken windshield, expired license plates or under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.Check points are unconstitutional, period.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Seeing as to how I might drink 6 beersa year, I also dislike the idea of having to stop at a roadblock and prove I have not been drinking while driving. I also hate having to stop and prove my tires are not slick, my license plates are currentand my windshield is not cracked, but it is necessary for the safety of other citizens on the road.
