As Shire Dude shared last week, employees of the Manchester Police Outfit will be stopping, questioning, and potentially issuing ransoms and/or caging drivers at a suspicioness checkpoint on April 22nd.
Without question, individuals in and around Manchester have effectively Copblocked past instances of this Manchester police thuggary, and many have already expressed their intention to do the same via the Suspicionless Checkpoint Party event.
In this video Manchester residents Rob Mathias and Cassidy Masengale detail their own motivation for participating and how such events tend to unfold.
Unthinking (or in the least, intellectually inconsistent) individuals who choose to work at the Manchester Police Outfit held checkpoints six times in each of 2013 and 2014. In 2015 they held just one checkpoint, apparently so impacted by the loss of revenue caused by drivers acting on the suggestion of well-positioned Copblockers: turn to avoid the police harassment.
Accepting suspicionless checkpoints as “normal” or “unavoidable” merely speaks to the level of conditioning present. Freedom of movement is a critical component of being free. So long as you’ve not harmed someone, or trespassed on private property, any attempt to control your whereabouts is a violation of your rights. If you believe that a stranger has the “right” to stop and question you, you negate the truth of self-ownership and allow that stranger to control you.

Hey Pete, what if your friends or family members were killed by an impaired driver that you or your friends diverted from a DUI checkpoint? Do you understand where I’m going with this? Do you care about the welfare and safety of others?
@Bsizzle
New Hampshire is the “Live Free or Die” State not the “If We Live Free We Might Die” State.
That’s why New Hampshire has no seat belt laws, no helmet laws and no red light cameras.
Freedom is dangerous and the American way. Thomas Jefferson described it using the phrase “Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem.” which is translated “I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery” or “I prefer the tumult of liberty to the quiet of servitude.”
Not exactly correct, LRN.FM fan. Not surprised, however: fucktards like yourself can never quote the laws correctly.

These checkpoints work. If you don’t like them, don’t drive that night. Driving is a privilege not a right. Anyone who has taken you’res or Adam Mueller’s advice usually end up in jail or get tickets. Mostly end up taking plea deals like you and Adam do
JumpingJacks is Un-American
Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem -Thomas Jefferson
Hey Jacks, how long do you think it took them to copy that Latin phrase, probably from an Internet link about Thomas Jefferson, of which they don’t understand the first word? They are like Parrots, squawking terms which are meaningless to them, but it “sounds” good………..
pete dont waste his time with bridge trolls.
Where are the “hammer tapes” David Crawford?
How would you feel if your loved ones got killed by these anti- checkpoint thugs? Oh wait you have nobody to love and no one loves you, Creepy Crawford!
Pete … obviously there is something psychologically wrong with you. Why don’t you do the right thing and get some professional help for your problems? I fear you’re getting worse.
@Bsizzle, you asked a good question, but somewhat out of context and from a narrow perspective. If a drunk driver harms somebody, certainly they should be held accountable. That doesn’t mean innocent people should be presumed to be guilty and forced to yield to warrantless searches though. Speaking of accountability…why do some people seem to have some kind of legal immunity for their acts of aggression and threats of violence? Ironic too,,.that the people who hold a forcibly imposed monopoly on the sale and taxation of alcohol in New Hamshire also work for the same outfit that performs theses illegal… Read more »
I don’t like getting pulled over, and so does anyone else does for that matter, but if I have nothing to hide or don’t have a bad driving record I don’t see the problem with getting “warrantless searches”. It’s a safety concern for the public that’s all. If you get pulled over and your paranoid, you’ve probably got something to hide so guess what, DON’T DRIVE.
LRN – You are calling me unamerican? That is a good one. I support these checkpoints because there are people with no regard for other’s safety or their own so they DUI. It is pathetic you don’t recognize these problems.

@Bsizzle
Perhaps the 4th amendment and the concept of “innocent until proven guilty” were not covered very well during your ahem “education” ?
Also, as a courtesy to you, I should mention I can practically see the spittle spraying from your mouth, when you bray sychophantic boot licking slogans. No, I don’t work for the NSA…I said “practically see the spittle” which was like a figure of speech. This being the internet, I can’t really see you, that kind of spying is reserved for your masters.
Live free or die! (by the way, that’s sarcasm)
Boy, the Freakeeners love the term “warrantless” searches……..and yet they never get around to quoting the U.S. Supreme Court rules concerning “vehicle searches”……. Whole different issue. The Court allows many variations of “search” rules when dealing with “vehicles & conveyances”……. Since you all love to live in the past, recall Marbury v. Madison? That was where John Marshall told Thomas Jefferson, “you might be the President, but the Court will decide what is Constitutional” – obviously paraphrasing for you “Shire types”…………….
If your driving and you are “innocent” then when you get pulled over there will be no guilt on your part, and you’ll be on your way. It’s pretty simple.
It’s funny how supporters of Free Keene on these blogs always attack people’s intellect when they don’t like what they hear. It’s called thinking your entitled to do what ever you want, Bobby.
Shylock dear, I know that this is very difficult for you to take in, but in American jurisprudence it is the burden of the state to prove the guilt of the accused. It’s not the duty of the accused to prove his innocence. This was one of the reasons why the delegates at the Constitutional Convention insisted upon amending the Constitution to require searches approved by warrants. Checkpoints deliberately undermine this prescribed investigation process by ignoring the requirement for probable cause and forcing the accused to prove their innocence of whatever the investigator decides to accuse them of. While this… Read more »
Anti-government babble draccc. I do not care for the government, I’ve said that before. Let me ask you then, if your children or grandchildren that are supposedly in the FSP got struck by an impaired driver that you and your friends diverted, would your tune change, draccc?
Speak from the heart , not the delusional libertard that is in you.
Thanks
P.S I know your going to say that I know certain policemen and city officials and that should make me just love the government, but I’ll stop you right there.
Don’t even go there, dumbass.
Now Shylock dear, it’s very naughty of you to be trying to pretend you hold a position of skepticism towards government when your reputation of holding the opposite views already precedes you. An honest person would simply admit that they’re wrong, instead of offering up such an obvious lie. But you’re not really an honest person, are you lamb? Your dishonesty aside, dear, how is it that it’s never occurred to you that one doesn’t need to be “anti-government” to expect politicians, bureaucrats, and their agents to follow the laws stipulated in the Constitution? Absurd statements like “speak from the… Read more »
does anyone know why matt schmidt supports….that …guy who got ..arrested snd jailed for … going after a child….then it was on this site his wife put a knife to her and got charged for stalking her
jennifer schmidt got charged with stalking her with a knife; she has a flower shop downtown
Keene-aid/David in Keene were are the “hammer tapes” Crawford?
yea…. thats them …just do a search of freekeene search engine… youll see…..there iss a bunch of posts about it
It’s funny draccc how you call me dear, and lamb yet you say that I’m a liar, coward, and stupid. If that is the case then why are my posts bothering you? So you didn’t answer the question of if your children or grandchildren were to get hit by an impaired driver that your friends here diverted, would your tune change, but you jumped right in on my opinion of the government. Your too easy, draccc. Was it all of the government oppression that you had back at home in Romania some 50 years ago that gets you all fired… Read more »
You’re so hilariously dull-witted, Shylock dear. Are you really so stupid that you have to ask why your lies can be so exasperating? You really need to convince someone to edit your posts, lamb. As for your questions, Shylock dear, I made my position on this perfectly clear. Unfortunately, because you have the mind of a child, you’re unable to accept any answer that pushes aside revenge in favor of justice. DUI Checkpoints make use of suspicionless stops and warrantless searches, lamb. This is contrary to the wording of the 4th Amendment, hence the reason for opposition to it. Frankly,… Read more »
I’ve got nothing to hide if I get pulled over for a ” unwarranted stop”, do you and your buddies here do have something to hide, draccc?
Again what if someone that you loved got struck and killed by a driver who was impaired, that was diverted from an ” unwarranted stop” by your friends, would you change your warped tune then? It’s a simple yes or no draccc.
Shylock dear, the 4th Amendment has no words in it that provides enforcers of the law the power to detain a suspect when they feel that suspect has “something to hide”. The criteria for a search, lamb, specifically requires probable cause in order to detain someone. Driving through a checkpoint does not constitute probable cause, dear, because the act of driving an automobile is not a reasonable cause for suspicion. Since you’ve established a reputation as being a person who believes that obedience to the law supersedes all else, why is it that you’re willing to give government enforcers a… Read more »
It’s a simple yes or no, draccc.
I answered your question, Shylock dear. I suggest you reread my replies. I’ll even give you a hint to help you, lamb. To obtain your answer, you will be required to use an inferencing skill called “reading between the lines”. You can treat it as an educational exercise if you wish, dear. If you still can’t figure it out, then maybe you can ask your mommy and daddy to help you?
Do you know if matt schmidt supports child rapers like was said he lives down the street from me, so its scary. Drac or bsizzle
A simple yes or no draccc. Or no response at all, would suffice.
Shylock dear, is it really so difficult for you to read between the lines here? I already know that you’re not very clever, but the fact that you weren’t able to find anyone to help you out is absolutely heartbreaking to me. Don’t you have any friends, dear? You’re not as obnoxious to people in your own life as you are to those you’ve met on this blog, are you lamb? I’ll tell you what, dear, seeing as you’re not clever enough to make this inference yourself, perhaps we should turn this into a little game instead? For this game… Read more »
Hey Bsizzle………it is the medication that Drac is on that makes it so difficult to give a straight answer. It is supposed to help with the “delusional thinking” but obviously it isn’t working………… The underlying problem is that their lips & brain go numb at the same time………….
That’s fascinating Doc. There’s a medication that corrects delusional thinking? I wish the tyrants in my home country had heard of this. They were stuck relying upon imprisonment or execution. Oh, and Doc, is your name supposed to give the impression that you’re a doctor or one of the seven dwarfs?
I simple yes or no will suffice. It’s to bad Doc of all the repression that draccc had in his mother country of Romanian, has turned him into a verbal bully to anyone who defies any “negative” comments that turn up on Free Keene’s blogs.
It’s quite pathetic really.
Now Shylock dear, you’re not playing the game properly. I’ve carefully explained the rules to you, dear. You’ve established a long reputation here of insisting upon obedience to the rules, haven’t you lamb? Now you’ve been very determined to convince me to give you a one word answer to a question I’ve already answered for you, so I find it very odd that you’re not willing to take this extra step to get what you want. Do you want my answer or not, lamb? You’re not backpedaling because your pride is getting in the way again, are you Shylock dear?
Oh I’ve got your answer. What is, your a dumbass? Ding ding! Tell him what he gets Alex.
Draccc it doesn’t matter if you say yes or no.
Either way you haven’t any soul.
I wonder what your children or grandchildren think of the fact that their daddy doesn’t care if they die by a person who is impaired that you think should be let go because of a “unwarranted stop”. Shame on you.
Game Over!
I’m confused, Shylock dear. I thought that your question demanded an answer? In fact, you were quite adamant about me answering your question. If my answer didn’t truly matter, then are you suggesting that the question you asked had no significant purpose other than to provide you an excuse to construct another one of your clumsy Straw Man arguments?
……
I drew you a Straw Man.
Shylock dear, you’re giving me the impression that you don’t know why your argument was a Straw Man. Am I to assume that your responses to me, lamb, aren’t satire at all and that you’re legitimately as simple-minded as you portray yourself to be?
.. .
…… .
……..
. .
. .
.. .. He is another strawman giving you the finger. Get a clue, draccc.
Are you upset with me, Shylock dear? You really shouldn’t be. What you really should be upset about is the fact that you’re so terrible at drawing. Is the art department at your school lacking in good instructors, lamb?
Get. A. Clue.
Sincerely Mr. Rembrandt
Did you know that the logical fallacy you’ve decided to present this time, Shylock dear, is known as the “Red Herring”? I wonder what you’ll decide to present in your next reply, lamb? I hope it’s not more art. The only thing you’re worse at than that is intelligent communication.
Communication breakdown.
Intelligent, meh? Get. A. Clue.
Is that another one of your raps, Shylock dear? I can’t say that it’s any better than your art. If I were you I wouldn’t use it when trying to impress the girls at your school. They’ll probably laugh at you. But judging by the rest of your comments, you’re no stranger to failure are you lamb?
How am I failure? Isn’t that what happened to your buddies here? The FSP,WKBK, and others have dropped your friends for being a failure, and yet your the only one hanging on here draccc. Get. A. Clue.
Celebrating another’s misfortune is not the characteristic of a winner, Shylock dear. If you were a winner, lamb, you would have moved on by now. Instead, you’ve stuck around pretending that you were the one who scored the winning goal when all you did was watch the game from the sidelines. You like to watch, don’t you dear?
Misfortune indeed, draccc.
Drac, your points good but completely wasted on that particular poster. Save your intelligent remarks for those who can actually appreciate them, and stop feeding the trolls. Who knows? If there’s nobody to “argue” with, perhaps they’ll go away. Assuming of course, that such trolls have “lives” outside this little corner of the internet.
Your right brandtrn, it’s fun to dumb down draccc. It just shows how much he hangs on to this failed group Free Keene. I myself am a happy troll, with a great job and a wonderful family. But draccc won’t stop, he is the lonely gatekeeper to “negative ” posts here. It’s quite pathetic really brandtrn.
