It's not childish to stand up for your rights.  The checkpoints that were
'cleared' by the Supreme Court are those which are "Fixed and permanent", not
the temporary types that can be removed on a daily basis (such as the one in
AZ).

You may be thinking, "it's no big deal" just answer the questions to make it
easy on everyone.  It is a big deal.  I don't want to give up my rights for
the convenience of those sitting behind me in traffic, or to make the
officer's day less difficult.  Every little time we waive our rights, we are
inviting more opportunity for them to take advantage of us.

I think Ben Franklin said it best:
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety
deserve neither liberty nor safety."
