Do police have drug check points at Colorado border?

They have checkpoints but you just drive to it, stop and they wave you through.

Unless you look highly suspect they probably won't stop you.

I been through many many states and never have been checked.


I did a camping trip through nevada, utah, Arizona and Colorado.

 

Keep in mind a lot of these checkpoint aren't even drug checkpoints but rather fruit & vegetable checkpoints as to keep invasive species around (mainly in California)

 

Well last July as I was Wyoming bound by way of Denver, I had some bud from the dispensary.

None were at the rest stop near the boarder, none were at the boarder, and really, I didn't see any at all.

Police officers and State Troopers have a lot better things to be doing than busting some people with small amounts of weed.

Don't want to be pulled over? Don't drive like a jackass. The simple things like oh... IDK... Going the speed limit, wearing your seatbelt, using your turn signals, etc. are almost ALWAYS the reasons people get pulled over.

Every time I've read stories about those guys trafficking hundreds of pounds marijuana from one place to another getting caught, they were either speeding, ran a stop sign, violating some very minor traffic law.

 

Make sure your license and sticker isnt expired and check your lights before you take off. Maybe get some spares in case one goes out?

Look up the law, they likely have no legal basis to hold you at a checkpoint even if there is one.

Always learn the law

 

Yeah, OP. It's just like nazi germany now. Border crossings should be done only at night and on foot.

 

Ironically the problem sort of 'was' working the other way. Let me explain. Kansas HIghway Patrol was pulling over drivers with Colorado plates for suspicion of carrying drugs. Fortunately the courts rules this was unconstitutional. You can see more info at the link below.

Court: Kansas cops can't stop drivers just because they have plates from states where marijuana is legal

 

Gee, I missed the story about state troopers engaged in genocide that will result in the extermination of 6 million Jews. Alas. given the limited intellectual skills that you so proudly demonstrated in your post, I seriously doubt that there is any possibility of you gaining any measure of perspective. One more time ---real simple: Third Reich - KILL 6 MILLION JEWS; state troopers = cops you don't like.

 

You bumped a thread to talk about Jews?? Really????? God damn Billy.

 

No, they do not have any checkpoints at the Colorado Border. Yes, doing that is illegal. However, it isnt illegal to put up a sign saying there is a drug checkpoint. This I have witnessed personally in Kansas when traveling back east. They have a sign, conveniently placed before an exit that says drug check point ahead. Instead of actually setting up a checkpoint, they place cars on the interstate between the sign and exit and place cars just off of the exit. When people buy the bullshit sign, they either throw the drugs out where the cops can see it or get pulled over if they look suspicious for whatever reason the officer can make up in order to get to a point to claim reasonable suspicion and search the vehicle. If you just drive right through and ignore the sign they dont screw with you. Well unless you are doing something stupid or looking very suspicious, which will get you pulled over anywhere.

 

I think you must've been too busy out social justice warrioring to learn what sarcasm is, Billy. It's in the dictionary, look it up and make your life easier.

 

I was just in Denver last weekend. I brought home some souvenirs and I had no trouble at all. Sure I seen a few cops with speeders pulled over. Nothing to worry about. Just drive sensible.
