I read this the other day. Instead of the government doing things to try to get rid of crime in neighborhoods, instead there's a Show Us Your Papers attitude.

A federal judge today refused to stop a traffic checkpoint program in the nation’s capital requiring motorists provide police with identification and a destination before entering a crime-challenged neighborhood.

District of Columbia police began stopping cars in June in the Trinidad neighborhood, refusing to let in motorists who wouldn’t prove they lived in the area or who didn’t reveal their destination.

Gee. that's sort of the reverse of the rich enclaves where people WILLINGLY want to keep OUT others. In this case, you have to be checked to get in (like Granbury's Pecan Plantation, for example) , and it's NOT YOUR CHOICE.

The Metropolitan Police Department initiative was set up at random hours over six days after a spike in violence in that section of the city.

The Partnership for Civil Justice sued, calling the program unconstitutional. The group asked U.S. District Judge Richard Leon to stop police from using traffic checkpoints again until a full trial could be held on whether the program was lawful.

I hope the group appeals to the Supreme Court.
