HB 253 

HB 253,The Road Block Bill will be heard in Law Enforcement Committee Monday morning at 8:00am in room E1.014 This Bill would allow road blocks to be set up by any law enforcement agency for four hours at a time. While it is supposedly aimed at stopping drunk driving it also gives them the choice to arrest passengers who may be drunk. It basically says anyone in the car can be arrested for ANY violation of law.
The Supreme Court ruled that being stopped at a checkpoint is the equivalent of detainment or arrest and no probable cause is required for a search. This Bill goes against everything this state and this country were founded on. Your Chairman will once again be there to testify against the Bill on your behalf. If you are free you could stop in and testify or sign a card in opposition to this Bill.
After the meeting I have to return to my doctor to get the results of some of my tests on Tuesday morning at 8:00am.
I am back in the office after undergoing the Ecktocardiogram this morning.
We will be meeting with Senator Carona’s crew again tomorrow on his helmet Bill SB 1368. Will head back to Houston for the COC Meeting on Saturday and be in Groesbeck on Sunday for the TOG Chapter meeting.
