	I've been in one of these line up and chat to the officer
roadblocks a few times.

	Once, on the evening of St Patricks day I was riding my
motorbike and found myself in line.

	I inched forward and as I drew up to the cop, I noticed
he had motorcycle boots on. He just waved me through, no
chatting, no slowdown.

	A couple of times I have been in a car. They start with
the stupid question: "Have you been drinking?"

	The correct answer is: "Do I look dehydrated?"

	That usually jars them. Then they try the lateral
nystagmus test. I refuse to look at them, never give the Filth
full face anyhow. You have no obligation to play their game, but
not playing along enrages them. So you can go back and forth a
few times and have a few discussions about what the purpose of
the fuzz really is etc. Finally after they have waived through
lots of potential customers, they may let you go. I once managed
to assemble 4 cops round me - I was asking them if they could
discriminate or whether they suspected everyone. 

	Fuck them. Ifv they can round up enough Filth to run
Commie style road blocks they don't need more members or more
money.
