Herr Tim, Vee vant to see your papers! No papers, no freedom!
Seriously, they tell us that the roadblocks are there for our own good- to get the drunk drivers off the road...a good point.
If that is why they are there, then why do they also write tickets for expired plates, window tint, inspection stickers, etc., etc? Might it have something to do with revenue?
When I grew up in Lake Charles, I rarely saw a police car and there was very little serious crime. Now, on a typical day, while driving from Moss Bluff to south Lake Charles, I will see 4-6 sheriff's units, 1 or 2 city units, homeland security, and US Border Patrol.
Funny, I don't feel any safer.
