Why are the marines doing traffic stops in California?
Marine “Military Presence” Confirmed in San Bernardino County
As we reported yesterday, the Marine Corps Air and Ground Combat Center has dispatched uniformed and presumably armed (we have no confirmation of the latter) soldiers to assist the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in the operation of unconstitutional sobriety checkpoints in San Bernardino County, California, the largest county in California and the country (San Bernardino County is directly east of Los Angeles).
On the Alex Jones Show today, Gary Daigneault, News Director at KCDZ-FM based in Joshua Tree, California, said the California Highway Patrol was less than forthcoming with their plan to team up with the military police, a direct violation of the Posse Comitatus Act preventing the military from performing civilian law enforcement duties. </em>
Imagine getting your DUI tossed because it was unconstitutional. Or, imagine being the CHP, evidently unable- or unwilling- to read the Posse Comitatus Act. The US military does not do police work within the United States- end of story. But after the last eight years of diminishing rights, what’s one more, eh?
