Why Law Enforcement Put Black ‘X’ Marks on Every Person’s Hand They Spoke to Around a Michigan Trail

Police told local reporters that the “rolling canvas” was conducted during a time of the evening when Millsap was known to regularly walk her dog along a certain path, and that investigators were hoping to question anyone who showed signs of having a similar routine. The searches appear to have caused a rift in the community, according to commenters who responded to WXYZ’s story on the incident. One person said, “I foresee a MASSIVE lawsuit alleging 4th and 5th amendment violations for using this practice. The simple fact is that such checkpoints are inherently illegal. I suggest EVERYONE tell the cops that they do NOT consent and will NOT allow any search.” http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/08/01/why-law-enforcement-put-black-x-marks-on-every-persons-hand-they-spoke-to-around-a-michigan-trail/
