Police Threaten to Arrest Man for Refusing to Discuss His Personal Travel Plans at DUI Checkpoint
December 30th, 2006Via: TheNewspaper.com:
A teenager harassed by police in St. Louis, Missouri caught the incident on tape. Brett Darrow, 19, had his video camera rolling last month as he drove his 1997 Maxima, minding his own business. He approached a drunk driving roadblock where he was stopped, detained and threatened with arrest when he declined to enter a conversation with a police officer about his personal travel habits.
If you are pulled over:
1. “I do not consent to a search.”
2. “Am I being charged with a crime, or am I free to go?”
