Stunning, the chutzpa of the Michigan State Police:

Michigan Daily: Libertarians protest roadside drug-testing program by Leah Graham:

While football fans streamed into Michigan Stadium on Saturday morning, Brian Ellison, a Libertarian running for U.S. Senate, held up a sign that read “say no to oral,” written in permanent marker.

Along with a half dozen others at the corner of South Main Street and East Stadium Boulevard, Ellison, a resident of Royal Oak, protested the Preliminary Oral Fluid Analysis pilot program recently launched by the Michigan State Police. Similar to breathalyzing drunk drivers, officers can issue a roadside test to detect the presence of controlled substances in a person’s body by analyzing a mouth swab.

Remember Michigan Dept. of State Police v. Sitz, 496 U.S. 444 (1990), on DUI roadblocks?
