Highway checkpoint asks drivers for blood, saliva
Travelers outraged by private research group's request
Motorists in Colorado are expressing outrage over a weekend stunt in Gilpin County, about an hour's drive west of Denver, where highway checkpoints were set up so a private organization could ask for samples of blood and saliva.
"I don't think they're authorized to do what they're doing, and I view it as a gross violation of law-enforcement protocol," Roberto Sequeira, 51, told reporters for the Denver Post.
He said he and his wife were "detained" for about 15 minutes even after they protested they wanted to get home because of a sleepy child in their car.
Sheriff's officials were apologizing after they helped set up and run five separate checkpoints over the weekend.
They said workers for the Institute for Research and Evaluation were overly persistent in their demands of innocent travelers.
"It was like a telemarketer that you couldn't hang up on," Undersheriff John Bayne told the newspaper.
Sgt. Bob Enney said the deputies' assistance to the organization involved stopping motorists at the sites along Colorado Highway 119 for "surveys" on any drug or alcohol use. Surveyors also requested that motorists submit to breath, blood and saliva tests.
Enney said several hundred motorists were tested, and some later complained.
Sequeira said he repeatedly asked if the questioners were law enforcement officials and said he was not interested in participating in the study, but still was not given clearance to leave.

Sounds like a lawsuit to me
Thomas Jefferson once said, "The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground."
Well, I guess he called that one.

I am so embarassed this happened in CO
But I don't consider Boulder as representative of CO, quite to the contrary. If you come to CO, avoid Boulder, unless you believe government should makle all of your decisions. This would NEVER happen in my county It reallly pisses me off that that one little cluster fo morons puports to be representative of the state. Bastards!

Alcohol surveys spur complaints
A motorist who was stopped wants a halt to voluntary testing that is so "persistent" it feels like a DUI checkpoint.

Roberto Sequeira says he was traveling northbound on Hwy. 119 in Gilpin County with his family one night recently and was stopped at a traffic checkpoint by a research group saying they were attempting to collect data on drugs and alcohol and asked if they could breathylize him. Posing for a portrait in his car in Boulder on Monday, Sept. 17, 2007, Sequeira says he repeatedly asked if they were law enforcement officials and said he was not interested in participating in the study, but was not given clearance to leave.

The Gilpin County Sheriff's Office was apologizing Monday after a weekend effort to help a research group led to complaints about what appeared to be a DUI checkpoint - but wasn't. ...

Can it get any worse? So
Can it get any worse? So what, if anything is being done to hold them accountable for highway robbery? This is outrageous. Sherrifs apologized...but I'd like to know what compelled them to set up the blocks in the first place. Can any old joe shmoe ask them to stop motorists so they can conduct research? How about if we ask them to organize road blocks so we can stop motorists and educate them and give literature on the Constitution and restoring freedom? Will they help us?
Hmmmm.

They actually complied!!!! What the hell is wrong with these people!?
They let an independent third party take DNA samples and didn't think to protest?!
Is there any corroboration to this WND story?

This is apparently one of those "NGO" activities that is a thinly veiled government program, which they want to have "ostensible distance" from, for political reasons, but want some things to be done.
