Motorcycle only safety check points are we to blame?
Subsequent to posting, FBI plans wants increased surveillance and More links to the suppression of libertywe posted Tracking the Georgia motorcycle safety checkpoint-update? outlining what we had learned to that date. Generally we like to find documents that lead to, at the very least, a high probability that what we are posting has or will come to pass.
Now that the internet is on fire with the motorcycle only checkpoint question, it may be time to explore our complicity in the governments willingness to even consider such egregious violations of the constitution.
Anybody believing that these checkpoints has anything at all to do with "Motorcycle Safety" is sadly mistaken as evidenced by the other checkpoints we do not hear much about.

FBI wants increased surveillance
Hat tip to somebody that cares :February 16th, 2011Newly Released Documents Detail FBI’s Plan to Expand Federal Surveillance Laws.
When we first posted in 2007 on some eerily similar issues here,I Might just become a CONSPIRACY nut! questioning the. ECHELON PROJECT: and CARNIVORE
we did so tentatively.
Then there was Help me, Help me, the Firemen are coming- ARE WE INSANE YET!!!!
wherein Homeland Security wanted to train firemen what to look for when they enter a building since they do not need a warrant. That again was in 2007.
Also in 2007 we posted on the ATT Whistle blower, in AMERICA LOST who cops to helping to hook the government up to the internet lines of ATT.
So the following really does not come as much of a surprise. It does not however give us any comfort knowoing we are not a chicken little hollering the sky is falling. We wish we were a "conspiracy nut" and the following wasn't reality. In a conversation with a retired naval officer over the weekend the only surprise that we both expressed is the blatancy with which the government now engages in actions that in the past, "Educated" people would have doing an "Egyptian" in the streets over.
We suspect that in time new generations will not question criminal acts by government, banks and other corporate heads. Afterall, to them it will be business as usual.
