As we celebrate this symbolic day in the land of the free, pay no attention to fact that the Raleigh Police set up a DWI checkpoint on Saturday night in which every single driver was stopped and interrogated by the long arm of your local government without suspicion of any wrongdoing.

Twelve people were arrested for DWIs, despite, presumably, showing no indications of impairment in the manner of their driving.   Eight other individuals who were doing nothing whatsoever that should have warranted police intrusion were charged with drug crimes.

Their only mistake was living in a police state.

If you were charged with a crime following a checkpoint, call me.  I’ll fight it to the bitter end.
