Kentucky has figured out how to allow law enforcement to completely disregard the 4th Amendment, it’s called “Operation R.A.I.D” and stands for “Remove Aggressive, Impaired and Distracted Drivers from Kentucky Roadways.”
It allows law enforcement to force you into checkpoints where you can be illegally searched.
For what specific reason can they pull you over? It could be for something as simple as drinking a cup of coffee.
“Not only just texting, but any distracting drivers. This includes eating and drinking. We are going to be out looking for those people. You’re going to see a major force when it comes time for St. Patrick’s Day weekend and holiday weekends,” said Trooper Biven of the Kentucky State Police.
The program will be active for one year.
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) — To increase driving safety, Kentucky State Police is starting a new “safe driving program”.
Operation R.A.I.D (Remove aggressive, Impaired. and Distracted Drivers from Kentucky Roadways) will remain active for one year.
Law enforcement will be more visible and the number of check points will increase.
This program will allow each post to identify target areas.
“Not only just texting, but any distracting drivers. This includes eating and drinking. We are going to be out looking for those people. You’re going to see a major force when it comes time for St. Patrick’s Day weekend and holiday weekends,” said Trooper Biven, Kentucky State Police.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’ studies show two-thirds of all fatal crashes link to aggressive drivers.
We Are The People
Please America wake up
this is not right
Nobody should be “pulled over” without specific evidence (probable cause) that they are involved in a crime! Kentucky usually does a better job than this…
get hurt bad
Wow, our police have become Obama’s minions
They apparently haven’t heard of the Bill of Rights!
OK wheres the Sheriffs who took an oath to uphold the constitution…They need to put the kibosh on this one…..Oh but wait a tick…This RAID policy has absolutely NOTHING to do with distracted driving, on the contrary, but everything to do with revenue…yes feeding the monster that in the new Gestapo, yes that’s it ladies and gentlemen. You know it is common knowledge that “Due Process” is dead in North America, thanks the George Bush and the Patriot Act.
Yes one more state stamping out freedom…hows it feel Kentucky…..
People can make Citizens arrest and charge these Traitors with Violations of our constitution .!
About 20 years ago an officer told me Florida was a police state. That is why when any law of Florida is broken – it’s The State of Florida vs John Doe not Mary Smith vs John Doe. ??? Seems this has been going on for years here. There are many good cops but then too I have witnessed power hungry, intimidating, abusive ones too. They are the bully of bullies! The bad apple in the barrel. Enough said.
