BORDER LINE CAR CHECK
About 500 vehicles were stopped at the South Australian-WA border during a weekend SA-WA police roadblock. (Call it what they like, it's effectively a border checkpoint)
It was aimed at driver education, particularly driver fatigue in the transport industry.
Drivers were breathalysed, vehicles examined and checks made for drivers' licences and outstanding warrants.
Passengers, including those on buses, were checked.
---------------------------------------------
NOW will some West Aussie people understand how many "rights" we have lost -- and how far down the path we are to becoming a total "police state"? This is the same police force ... ooops, sorry .... police service wants to see WA citizens totally disarmed.
I am sending a copy of this to every single person/group/forum I can think of who may find it relevant and interesting. Please feel free to pass it on to anyone you feel could make use of it.
NOTE that this is on the same day that the WA Govt announces it plans to introduce a new driver's licence with digital photo stored on a central databank, as well as an embedded microchip, which will store information for the police and "other Govt departments" to access via computer link-ups. And no, you aren't allowed to know what information about you is stored there.
