Once again, the government is trying to illegally intimidate citizens with a display of military force:

According to a December 10, 2008 press release from the Highway Patrol, USMC Military Police participated in a joint task force with the County sheriff and state police to conduct a sobriety checkpoint on December 12, 2008. All in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act that prohibits the military from participating in civilian law enforcement operations under most circumstances.

If we submit to this abuse without a wimper, then we’re gonna see jackboots every time we turn around … and we’ll have only ourselves to blame.
