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.
