Heck, despite court rulings to the contrary, traffic stops are patently a violation of the fourth amendment. This apparently goes way beyond that but it is probably to late to hope for any better when a conservative southern state such as Alabama allows such foolishness to go on. If, as according to the article cited, there was a problem with disturbances, then a police presence was justifiable, but a presence is a long ways away from "blocked off exits to the parking lot and set[ting] up checkpoints."

The facts are still fairly sketchy at this point. What I'm curious about is what crime resulted in the tickets? For what were they cited? --- The story is poorly written because it was based on a television account of what happened. The facts are still fairly sketchy at this point.
