Iowa Republican Party Urges Motorists NOT to Allow Vehicle Searches

At last a Republican Party that stands for something! The Iowa Republican Party is urging the public not to submit to searches without a warrant and to video and audio record interactions with police.

CALLING ALL IOWA CONSTITUTIONAL ACTIVISTS!

by Republican Party of Iowa
Central Iowa police are planning “traffic safety checkpoints” in Polk county on friday night. The Iowa GOP strongly urges you NOT to give in to any illegal searches of your car. Only comply by providing your license, registration and insurance if requested.
The Iowa GOP also reminds you that record police officers, both with audio and video is completely LEGAL and has been upheld numerous times by numerous courts. Be sure to have an objective “witness” by recording your conversations with police.
So if you’re around Des Moines friday night and come across an unnecessary “random” police checkpoint, be sure to:
1. Record the conversation
2. Comply only with license, registration and insurance
3. Do not volunteer any additional information and do not permit a search of your vehicle for any reason.
4. Send the Iowa GOP any audio and video you have of your interactions with police.
“Authorities said vehicles will be systematically chosen by officers to enter the checkpoint. For example, it may be decided that every fifth vehicle will be directed to a station within the checkpoint.”
