Armed Checkpoints in Ohio

Apparently there was a small rally of neo-national socialists down the street, unarmed.
This is how Grok responded to my query if it is legal for citizens to set up armed checkpoints in Ohio.
“No, it is not legal for citizens to establish armed checkpoints in Ohio. Here’s why based on the information available:

Constitutional Rights: The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. Setting up an armed checkpoint by civilians would likely violate this amendment, as it would involve stopping individuals without probable cause, which is a right reserved for law enforcement under specific legal guidelines.
State Law and Case Law:
Ohio follows the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Michigan v. Sitz (1990), which upheld the constitutionality of sobriety checkpoints conducted by law enforcement under stringent conditions. However, this ruling applies to law enforcement, not civilians.
The Ohio Revised Code and judicial interpretations emphasize that law enforcement must adhere to certain guidelines for sobriety checkpoints, like public notice, visible warnings, and a predetermined stopping pattern, none of which apply to or permit civilian actions.
Public Posts and Legal Opinions:
Posts on X (formerly Twitter) reflect a consensus among users that civilians setting up checkpoints, particularly armed ones, would be illegal. These opinions echo the understanding that such actions would infringe on civil rights, potentially leading to civil rights violation charges.
Legal advice from attorneys, as seen in various web articles, underscores that only law enforcement with proper authorization can conduct such stops, further highlighting the illegality of civilians doing the same.
Potential Legal Consequences:
Civilians attempting to establish armed checkpoints could face criminal charges for impersonating an officer, unlawful restraint, assault, or even kidnapping, depending on the specifics of their actions.
Ohio’s “castle doctrine” and laws related to self-defense in one’s home or vehicle do not extend to allowing civilians to stop and detain others on public roads or in public spaces.
Firearms Regulations: While Ohio has open carry and permitless carry laws for firearms, the use of these firearms in the context of creating a checkpoint would not be justified under the state’s gun laws, which do not give citizens the authority to perform law enforcement duties like setting up traffic or security checkpoints.

In summary, establishing armed checkpoints by citizens in Ohio is not only illegal but would likely lead to significant legal repercussions for those involved. Law enforcement is explicitly authorized to conduct such operations under very specific legal frameworks, which civilians do not share.”

The “Neo Nazis” arrived in a couple vans and were all dressed identical. Sound familiar?

Pay attention you will see this again. You may even be part of it. Imagine a group of people not from your neighborhood wanting to cause problems in your neighborhood. You and your neighbors will have to do something similar. Hopefully more organized and professional acting. You have read selco’s work?

The short video does not indicate that a Neo-Nazi group with flags chose a spot next to the historic all-black township for a demonstration.
Why now ? And Why there ? Could it be F.B.Lie is up to its old tricks trying to start trouble so they can make easy arrests from the inside for fleeting glory (until the cases fall apart in court…….) ??
Or could Woeamaz controller, George Soros, be fomenting provocations so Trump can be blamed by our bought and paid for lying media ??
Hmmmm….. ??

I used to live in an adjoining city to Lincoln Heights. There are very few places in greater cincy that are bigger shitholes. The question that I have for people is this… The people with the swastika flags were set up on a bridge that leads to a federal defense contractor. GE aircraft engines. Why would that be allowed? What is the chances that the people were the same glowies as patriot front?
I can’t see them allowing masked, armed men to set up at the location. It’s all to get people to do crazy stuff like this. Simple
