Revenue collection checkpoint

My wife went to pick up my son from work at the Theater at Seven Bridges around 10:20 on Sunday night. She was sitting on the couch watching TV and left without her purse since it was a short drive. The Lisle Police hereafter referred to as the Nazi Pigs had their so called Safety Checkpoint right at the station for southbound 53. My wife is religious about fastening her seat belt and ws still waved off into the Stye parking lot at random. Since her license and insurance card were in her wallet she was given 2 tickets and detained for 15 minutes. The Nazi Pig admitted they were all on overtime and she was paying for it. Since when is it legal to pull people over at random who have committed no offense and say "Show me your papers"? I thought we fought wars to stop regimes that did this? If this keeps up there will be another war to fight, right here in Lisle and across America. They tap our phones, read our email, search at random, and too often beat and kill people when they instigate these unconstitutional acts. Don't show the proper amount of submission to their "authority" and you get harassed and bullied. Our dogs are shot in our own yards, because these "brave public servants" are in fear for their lives from family pets. How much more of our rights are going to be taken to "make us safe"?
