I've read some really good posts here. Someone said something of the roadblocks used to stop traffic and question people.
We can all stay in the comfort of our living rooms, and wait for the PD to come knocking on our doors, and when we answer, we can say, I know my rights, get a warrant if you want to look inside.
Same with your car, get a warrant if you want to search.
So, we will deny and hamper police action all the while, and then when another incident happens, we'll say well, why didn't the police do more?
Somehow, the video clip I watched on TV a few days ago reminded me of movies I'd seen where foreign army personnel stopped people from going and coming as they pleased. The latest bombing in Russia was said to be a homicide bomber, usually, homicide bombers don't walk streets after they killed themselves along with other people, which raises the question, what were Russian authorities looking for? Or, were they just sending a message to unknown people that we're looking for you?
To stop people, put them up against a wall, and search for what? at gunpoint. What could a Russian possibly be looking for knowing the homicide bomber already killed himself? Not even American police or authorities are that stupid.
