I work in Paramus and the Bergen County Police seem to do a ton of random truck inspections on 17

Burlington two does it on 130 or 541 on a regular basis. Few years ago they had traffic stopped on 130 during rush hour to had out flyer saying school was open. I was on my motorcycle, looked at the cop like WTH you expect me to put your junk mail, he just stood there until I took it and stuffed it in my pocket.

 

funny that this is posted today. i was working on the roof of Oliver's Liquors this morning when a group of officers rolled up and set up their check point up in that area. didn't take long for northbound traffic to get effed up.

 

worse town in our area for this is Westampton, seems like about twice a month they run their "fundraiser".

We do have a right to freedom of movement, but logically, like everything it isn't unlimited. IF I wanted to drive one of those mining dump trucks with tires bigger then my house in Rt 18 rush hour, I think most folks would take exception to me professing my right to move about the place. Same if I chose to commute in a Mach 1 ground effect vehicle, right?

 

I'm not saying that these random checks are not bullshit, I'm saying your right freedom of movement isn't really absolute. I mean you could always walk and smile past their check point, right?

I agree with what you're saying about our rights having some limits, but as you say Vlad, the random checks are bullshit and I would think is more like what people like yourself dealt with where you came from.

 

I just have a problem with police or border patrol, 100s of miles from the border stopping Americans and questioning them and demanding "papers" when they are not even suspicious looking.

 

He'll, inspecting non-commercial vehicles on the road? They don't even inspect them at inspection stations anymore. Ridiculous.

Robbinsville PD runs radar on I-195 too! I have heard NJ Troopers comment that fthey should not be there!
