They directed them into the parking lot. NHTSA folks spoke with them.
But why should I be stopped in the midst of my transit by LEO's for doing nothing wrong and be directed to a sales pitch trying to buy my blood and spit. I see no reason for that. That really dilutes the power of those blue lights and that badge.

Next time a criminal runs from the police perhaps he should say to the judge I thought they were going to try to buy my blood. ----Hyperbole obviously----but not too far off the mark.

I wonder what would have happened if the lady interviewed had pulled into a parking spot, but refused to roll down her window? Would the "off-duty" officers have tried to force her to roll down her window and possibly arrest her for failure to comply with their orders? I can see that going wrong like the traffic stop in NM.... :banghead:

All over something that is clearly a 4th Amendment violation. :grumble
My first thought is to pull into the parking spot, lock the doors, and lay on the horn and/or call 9-1-1 to report I'm being held against my will by armed (I assume) individuals.

Realistically, I might go for some level of compliance to get away and then raise a huge stink afterward. I don't think they should get away with it, but I always have my kids with me and I'm not willing to risk them getting hurt if I can put up a fight in a safer way later.
See this is where most of us are at. The feds and to some extent local LEO operate with a shield of litigious protection. I think that is what "they" whoever "they" are is counting on. We just want to be left alone and left to raise our kids and be with our families. Those that come up with these schemes are counting on that. I have no solutions to this, but it is what it is.

Re: North Texas motorists stoped by Feds to take DNA and blo

This is bad on so many levels....What in this world? An apology is not good enough. They detained people without probable cause, held them without consent, and performed searches on them. If I did that I would be charged with quite a few crimes. If this is permitted to go unchecked and unpunished we are living in a light handed police state that turns heavy handed quite quickly. Not ok.
