Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / April 2008Now your children can play police checkpoint!
There's no 'programming' going on, that's tin foil hat nonsense. It's just to teach kids that police checkpoints are normal, fun, and just part of life with this wonderful new toy from playmobil! Playmobil Police Checkpoint (3906) http://www.amazon.com/Playmobil-3906-Police-Checkpoint/dp/B0002YM16U/ref=pd_bbs_ 5?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1205071638&sr=8-5 Just think of the hours of fun children can have with this checkpoint. Play drug search, soberity testing, and much more! I wonder if the cops in the playset have tasers? I'm sure any creative child could add those on his own if they don't. Seriously though, I would have never imagined such a thing as a toy in the 1980s... maybe the bad guys in GIJoe or something might have a checkpoint.... but nothing pro-checkpoint like this. > There's no 'programming' going on, that's tin foil hat nonsense.

Dang...wait until a body-cavity search becomes a highly-demanded feature of the game. I can see this coming: "come here, little girl, I have a present for you." > There's no 'programming' going on, that's tin foil hat nonsense.

I'm waiting for the Border Patrol checkpoint toy to come out. It will have specific instructions on use that state that no child is allowed to pretend that the Border Patrol checkpoint is anywhere near an international border. You know, like that one up in Vermont that is a good HOUR from Canada, if the road went straight to Canada. Or how about the Border Patrol doll? The Border Patrol doll is only allowed to search buses in the United States, and only if the bus' origin and destination are both in the United States, and the bus goes nowhere near an international border. -Dave >I'm waiting for the Border Patrol checkpoint toy to come out. Does the play set come complete with a pickup truck, a plastic tarp, and a buch of wetback weebles stacked in the bed of the truck like cord wood?

Funny. But I think you missed the point I was trying to make. Now that I'm working OTR as a "truck" driver, I spend a lot of time near the International borders. I've been surprised to see Border Patrol activity NOWHERE NEAR international borders though. The way things are going, very soon Border Patrol is going to be stopping all Interstate traffic in Denver, Colorado, looking for people who snuck across the border from Mexico. Oh, and with the recent decision to require BIRTH CERTIFICATE to re-enter the United States, it won't be long before U.S. citizens born and raised in the U.S. are required to carry a birth certificate with them, just to commute to work in St. Louis, MO, for example. I wish I was exaggerating. But I recently rode a bus (don't ask) from Nebraska to New York, never getting anywhere near Canada, and I was searched (along with all the other passengers) by the Border Patrol. WTF?!? -Dave >Colorado, looking for people who snuck across the border from Mexico.

In the next decade or two, expect a Real ID to be required to cross many if not all state borders.

On one of those funny/dumb laws things I remember a turn of the century (19th-to-20th) law that required car drivers to notify the local PD upon driving into a town. That may make a come back in some form. Number plate reading cameras, transponders, whatever... only for US citizens of course, but it will be sold to stop illegal aliens and terrorists. > > There's no 'programming' going on, that's tin foil hat nonsense.

I'm currently sitting less than 5 miles from where they had that. I don't think it's as active as it was a few years ago - if at all. And on I-91, it is a straight shot to Canada. The reasoning was that it was just south of the junction of I-91 and I-89, the two main Vermont entry points from Canada and most of the traffic would be headed towards Connecticut instead of Mass.

"Indoctrination" is the appropriate term. My kids are/will grow up knowing that this is not the way things always were, and its not the way they should be. Bush- no doubt, the worst president ever. And the cabinet. All of 'em deserve to swing for treason. There's a company that makes scale-size weaponry for the lego critters, I'm sure they'll have a tazer out soon. Dave |
