First Offical Contact For Me

I've run into these checkpoints a couple of times.  I think it's been ruled as legal as long as they check every vehicle.  They check your blinkers, headlights, etc.  Of course it's meant to catch DUI's or that guy who suddenly starts sweating and stammering while talking to the officer.

RLMoeller:
I've run into these a few times during rush hour on the way home, Q Street exit on I-80.  They were looking for expired plates, no insurance, etc.

sparky:
They seem to have these about every other weekend in Columbus when me and the wife go back to our hometown.  Never run into one around Omaha yet.

Husker_Fan:
They can't search your vehicle without your permission or probable cause.  However, they can run a vehicle check because every vehicle is registered and licensed by the state.  As long as they check everyone, it has been ruled OK.

The other thing they do with these is put up a sign warning for" slow traffic, drug check ahead."  They put someone in a concealed spot to see if anyone makes a 'U' turn in the median, and a cruiser then pulls them over for the illegal turn.

I had my 2nd pull over last week since carrying concealed. I was traveling on Giles & 96th through the intersection (ran the yellow and it changed to red while I was still in the middle of the intersection). Papillion cruiser pulled me over. Older Cop, real nice. I notified him right away, let him know it was in the glove box and he was cordial and just said ok may i see your license. So i handed him permit & DL and then he needed to see my insurance and registration which is in the glove box under the gun. So i told him it was in there. Again he was friendly, asked what I carry and said its ok just go ahead and "take it out and put it on the floor below for me". So i did and handed him the documents. Everything went smooth and he only gave me a warning so i got off easy that day :)

The first time i got pulled over was two years ago and also in Papillion. That encounter also went smooth so my experience with Papillion PD has been very good so far. Very professional officers i have dealt with and I'm thankful for their cordial treatment. They never did disarm me, even with this encounter i offered to put it in the holster and hand it to him but he was ok with it being on the floor.
