Dudes/Dudettes - Let's get serious here about the Gestapo's ability to
search our vehicles/homes at will!  Here in the Chattanooga area,
earlier this year, the "Protectors of the County" set up a "Road Block"
on a major artery, very similar to the Interstate system, via posting a
"warning sign" advising drivers of a "check point" ahead.  The County
Mounties, though, were really concentrating on the exit BEFORE the
actual "check point", but AFTER the sign making the announcement.

Deputies were off in the bushes with binoculars, noting those who exited
after the "sign", but before the actual roadblock.  Out-of-county/state,
uh, our bronze/black brothers, or any other "suspicious" folks were,
then, pulled over by the Gestapo for questioning about WHY they decided
to exit at THAT time and got to experience the joys of a complete
vehicle search, complete with dogs.

Face it, most folks WILL consent to the Gestapo's "polite" request to
search their automobile, since they have nothing to hide and are scared
to death of crossing the Gestapo!.  I tend to sic my 85# Killer
Chihuahua OR my pet Coral snake on anybody who, uninvited, tends to
stick their nose into MY vehicle, since I am one of those weird dudes
who STILL believe we actually have a Constitution that means something!
