Oakland police halt DUI checkpoints

Immigrant activists say roadblocks discriminate against those without licenses


By Heather MacDonald, STAFF WRITER

OAKLAND -- Oakland police officers have stopped setting up roadblocks to check whether drivers are under the influence because of a rash of complaints from the Latino community and City Council President Ignacio De La Fuente.
The checkpoints, which allow officers to demand licenses and proof of insurance, are an effective way to get drunken drivers off Oakland's streets, city leaders agree. But the checks also have ensnared dozens of illegal immigrants who are not licensed to drive yet otherwise obey the law.

The whole story

Sure they are the worst offenders...next they will stop arresting blacks

How in hell is a road block for DUI racial profiling???


and as for the people behind the wheel, without a license, they deserve to be picked up.

If they do now have a license, then they do not have insurance, and should not be on the road.

lol

roadblocks discriminate against those without licenses?

uhhhh....yeah....where is the problem here?

Sheep

Thats sad, people without licenses aren't allowed to drive for the right reasons. They are uninsured and cause too many accidents.

hey bush is in office isnt he?

question answered :2 cents:

Doesn't California have a law saying that police officers can't ask for insurance when pulling people over because it's an invasion of privacy?

Why is this even an issue? I guess the message is as long as you make over the boarder your golden.

PRE FUCKING CISELY. why should we have to pay our hard earned money to insurance companies to be legally on the road and they are exempt. If a checkpoint is to check license and insurance, and you drive up to one with neither, and no way of verifying you have one, then you should go to jail.

lol, if that is true whoever thought of this should be ashamed of himself

:Oh crap

everyone is too worried about racial profiling...you dont see us white males crying? and everyone hate us..lol

i cant even gt served in my neighborhood..if anyone else comes in..they gt their food first..it is kind of sad

but i dont let it bother me

everyone assumes canada is really lax..but you would not get away with playing the race card here

guilty is guilty

unless you got lots of money
