New Orleans police plan to set up checkpoints throughout Orleans Parish to "verbally provide information" about the current stay-at-home order related to the coronavirus pandemic.


Not surprisingly:

Police also will check that everyone is wearing seatbelts, the driver is licensed and the vehicle is registered and insured.

Why haven't they been outspoken on all the lockdowns, stay at home orders, etc?

Because they understand strict scrutiny threshold would be met by current lockdown efforts.

That same standard isn’t even close to being met here.

This is not 4th ammendment violation. I don't like it but it's not.

I mean I think it is, but I understand SCOTUS has said otherwise for other kinds of checkpoints.

I think there’s an argument this crosses that line though as there is a compelling state interest when conducting a DWI checkpoint. An “informational” checkpoint to give information widely disseminated through non 4A infringing means is a different animal
I think.

They only speak out when something is perceived as racist

Because the source of their money has told them to keep it down on this.

They haven't found a way to profit from it yet.

Seeing as that my registration is lapsed since the DMV got shut down by the hackers earlier this year and they never sent my renewal sticker for my plate. Now I can’t go in because the offices are closed. Chances I won’t be written a $400 ticket regardless?

Obviously nothing too bad is going on otherwise most NO cops would have run off the job with their tails between their legs like during Katrina.

I went through one earlier on Napoleon and Ferret with an expired break tag and cops just waved me through without checking anything.
