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. -- The Bush administration's incompetence, evident from Iraq to Louisiana, alienates people who know about management. - Economist Oct 20 2007
