- ceejayoz 3y agoI'm quite certain they're aware; it's very much a thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Border_Patrol_interior_checkpoints https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Border_Patrol_in... > The United States Supreme Court ruled that Border Patrol agents may stop a vehicle at fixed checkpoints for brief questioning of its occupants even if there is no reason to believe that the particular vehicle contains illegal people. The Court further held that Border Patrol agents "have wide discretion" to refer motorists selectively to a secondary inspection area for additional brief questioning.
- Spooky23 3y agoThat’s not detention. It’s the same operating theory as DWI or Registration checkpoints.
- ceejayoz 3y agoI think SCOTUS was wrong to permit those, too, but they're significantly different. Registration and DWI checkpoints rely on something outwardly visible/demonstrable; a sticker or signs of intoxication. There's no outward sign of citizenship, nor are citizens required to carry proof of it.
- Spooky23 3y agoI agree with you. I take issue with the bad faith interpretation by the ACLU that has so misinformed the public. It undermines their mission.
