    DUI checkpoints are not unreasonable. It’s just a PITA. Non-random stops to subject just you to a DUI screening with no reason is unreasonable.

    Given the state of the issues, is it any different than a DUI checkpoint?

    Do we all agree we have a trafficking problem in the Southwest?

    IMHO, we do, and given such, the main corridors to large populations centers will experience the bulk of the traffic.

    Is it a PITA? Yes. So is the screening line at the airport.

    nsr, I never stated here that I was treated “unreasonably.” However, if I gave the “appearance” of being “Hispanic” yet was born in the US but had a bit of an “accent,” I might think otherwise.

    To paraphrase, what you’re saying is that you think is that you would be treated biased and discriminated against even though you’ve never been if you were Hispanic or looked Hispanic or sounded Hispanic.

    IMHO, seems like a lot of projection of motivations…

    Sure. And where do most of these drugs end up? In private homes.

    So you have no problem with cops randomly searching your home, right? After all that’s where a lot of the drugs are, in homes like yours.

    Nothing unreasonable about it, it’s just a PITA.

    Agreed, nsr. I forgot to add the obvious. If you are driving a vehicle with a US plate and have a US-issued driver license on I-8/I-10, do NOT tell these HSO’s that your destination is Nogales, Agua Prieta, Juarez, Nuevo Laredo, etc. Even if it is, keep the conversation simple (and north of the US/MX border) and tell them, “El Paso” or “Austin.”

    Have your answers figured out before you leave for your trip.

    This will save you all kinds of headaches and keep your trunk from being opened and rifled thru.
