Yeah, that doesn't make me feel much better about the issue as a whole. I'm perfectly fine with someone being stopped if they are suspected of committing an infraction - but since when is driving down the street considered probable cause to stop a group of vehicles, and make them "show their papers"?

IMHO, it's sad to see this happening in Texas. The DWI Checkpoint bill really annoyed me as well, but it looks like that died in committee this session.

Re: Driver License Check Point

I didn't know drivers license checkpoints were considered legal here in Texas. Are they optional, or has probable cause gone out of the window? :(
