There is a lot of wiggle room in the law for the states (and feds) to abuse law abiding citizens.
Personally, I can remember being stopped at a "check point" 4 times in the past 28 years: 1971 in Alabama by State Troopers who checked licenses, tags and operation of lights and signals; in 1997 by the Mississippi Highway Patrol at DWI checkpoint south of Memphis; twice this year while driving from El Paso to Alamogordo NM at US Border Patrol checkpoint.
In all cases, minimal inconvenience but again, the potential for serious violation of Constitutional and God given rights exists...
