4th Amendment

The DUI Industry -vs.- Your 4th Amendment Rights.

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against
unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue,
but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing
the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized."

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects,"

DAMM considers a citizens blood and breath to be elements of their person and their vehicle
to be a personal effect.

"against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants
shall issue, but upon probable cause,"

A new device, cleverly disguised as a flashlight is currently being used by Police Departments
around the country. As an officer holds the flashlight in your face at a road block check point,
the flashlight unit which contains a hidden sensor samples the air in the drivers vehicle to search
for alcohol content. This evidence is gathered without your consent or even your knowledge,
this seems more than slightly unreasonable to DAMM.

And what about Road Block Check Points themselves? Where is the probable cause for
randomly directing your vehicle into one of these check points?

"supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched
and the persons or things to be seized."

What does that mean? That means it is your Oath or affirmation against his [a cop in search
of easy overtime] and occasionally the Oath or affirmation of another fellow officer.
