Police State - Coming Soon to Your Neighborhood

The Washington Post reports that D.C. police are setting up checkpoints in the Trinidad neighborhood and will only allow people past who have valid reasons to enter the neighborhood.

The police will be checking identification and screening people.  According to the article "Those lacking identification or a reason to be in the neighborhood will be forced to leave."  Where's that freedom now?  Y0u remember, the freedom that "they" hate us for.

Since when, in America, do you need to provide your government issued papers to the police in order to move around?  Since when do you need a "legitimate purpose" to be anywhere in this country?  Freedom.
