Orlando - checkpointing the entire downtown area

[PeterC]

Downtown Orlando security checkpoints begin this weekend

Friday will be the first night the city is rolling out its new security plan for the late-night bars and clubs.

Fortunately (I suppose):

"Under Florida law, however, the only people who will go through the metal detectors are those who volunteer and weapons can also be seized if an individual does not have a permit or if police have probable cause."

Does refusing to go thru the checkpoint detectore constitute 'Probably Cause' ? ;-)

Controlled access is the future. Drip-drip.

There are so many states I would have considered moving to a few years ago, but they all recently shifted one way or the other to where I now look at them and think, nope, too far.

Disturbing.

Anyone who makes the “choice” to go through a “checkpoint” is almost as bad as them

Video shows man carrying, firing AR-15 in downtown Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla. — Shocking video appears to show a man carrying and then firing an AR-15 rifle in the heart of downtown Orlando. The video shows a man holding an AR-15 rifle and yelling at people near Orange Avenue and Pine Street early Thursday...

Yeah. You guys seem like the Orlando Nightclub types.

Seems like FL law is pretty clear and it's a non-issue for anyone. Basically it's giving them an excuse to have a police presence and give a would-be mass shooter something to think about.

Although, your normal brain-damaged mass shooter isn't going to car about some cops and dags.

Orlando is not the part of Florida for conservatives. It’s a very monkeypox friendly area...

 

[Compooky]

They’re not going to stop the drunk people headed to their cars to drive right? Don’t want to scare away the bar and club patrons.

I’ve said for years that MA could replace the income tax by running DUI checkpoints on Rt1 after every Pats game. I never understood paying $100 for a ticket and $250 in beer to not remember the game. “Itwazf’inazzum!”

100 bux a ticket? What kinda hookup you got?

I haven’t been in years but I don’t think you’re getting into the nose bleeds for 100 bux.

So they tell you where the checkpoints are.

It would be the best gun control scheme MA has ever come up with without a doubt. Endless amounts of people so dangerous they must now be federally prohibited.
