The 21-year-old Tennessee man who became a viral sensation after recording a stop at a DUI checkpoint over the 4th of July holiday is now admitting that he did plan the confrontation.

....


The video showed Ross ask Kalbaugh if he had any drugs, open containers or weapons. Soon they brought over a drug dog, which “hit” on one of the car’s door handles. Inside, they found two beer bottle caps and traces of drugs.
“There’s a few seeds in the passenger seat of marijuana,” Ross said.
“That’s not from me,” Kalbaugh replied.
“Okay, well I’m just telling you what’s in the car,” said Ross. “My advice is clean the car out.”
Kalbaugh insisted he bought his car used last year and doesn’t smoke marijuana or any kind of drugs.

20 arrested during traffic safety checkpoint
110 citations also issued
Published 4:45 PM CDT Jul 15, 2013

Midwest City Police Department conducted a traffic safety checkpoint over the weekend.

Ten full-time officers from the Police Department, along with 10 Oklahoma County sheriff's deputies set up a checkpoint in the area of 6500 NE 10th St.

Crews worked both east- and westbound traffic and stopped every vehicle between 7:15 p.m. and midnight.

Twenty people were arrested and 16 cars were impounded. In all, 110 citations and two warnings were issued. Twenty-two of those citations were for driving under suspension or not having a state driver's license.

Yeah, no point in those things at all.

Would have likely cost the city and county less per arrest or citation if done via roving patrol. And they would have likely netted more arrests and citations (and thus revenue) per man-hour.

Of course, most of these anti-American checkpoints are done because federal grant money comes with strings attached.

So about the same numbers as any other weekend in MWC, then?

Actually posted just because of the irony of the article having been published the day after this thread mostly died off.

....or is it to gain control, information?
How many stopped that were sent on their way with, say 30 minute delay...unconstitunal?

I've seen most checkpoints run where once you have a backup of more than 3 minutes, they open it up and allow cars to flow through unimpeded until the traffic jam is gone. If they were stopping every vehicle going both ways for that long and traffic backed up, I'd be pissed. It's a waste of fuel and taxpayer's money.
