Why are Marines helping with DUI checkpoints in California?
Since when did their job become civilian law enforcement? Don't we have laws against things like this? http://www.duiblog.com/2008/12/16/here-come-the-feds-contd-marines-at-dui-roadblocks/ Norman, the Military has a role and its not law enforcement.

Norman, the Military has a role and its not law enforcement.
Ive heard of MPs but that is for the military not civilians.
You people are crazy. You deserve whats coming.
It’s called fascism and it is slowly enveloping our nation. We are slowly being led into a police state in which the elite will rule and the rest of us( those who are not disappeared) will either be forced to comply or wind up in FEMA correction camps.
It amazes me that so many are unwilling to believe this but then again, look at how many were herded to into camps during WWII…I’m sure that they thought it would never happen then either.
RESISTANCE IS FERTILE …IT ALLOWS REVOLUTION TO GROW!!!
Because they are needed to stop DUI’s from killing the rest of us. What is wrong with that? We also have laws against driving while intoxicated. Which one can’t you understand?
It’s against the law for the military to assist in civilian policing unless there is martial law declared. The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits them from operating in such a fashion, they can however, provide logistical support which aids the police.
because they dont have anything else to do
Apparently you’ve never heard of Marine Corps Military Police
MPs have jurisdiction of any civilians on base. In this case they may just be observing/training.
Does it matter? Who cares about California anyway?
Well, if you are not driving drunk, then don’t worry about it.
Because the corrupt politicians don’t feel compelled to abide by the The Posse Comitatus Act or the Constitution.
New proof of that keeps turning up every week.
Wake up America. The police state is being built up around us while the masses keep sleeping.

Don’t wait for the globalist owned mainstream media to connect the dots for you on this one. The agenda of the mainstream media in the 21st Century is to indoctrinate, not to inform. The media has no interest in American sovereignty or rights of free people.
It is unlawful and a way of conditioning the public into seeing and accepting military personnel on US soil in order to lessen the fear of them. This isn’t a good thing, either. Think about it.
I am amazed at some of the responses here.
"Does it matter?"
YES.
Well, if someone wrote it in their blog, it must be true. I would rely on all blogs if I were you.
That being said, the military has for many years assisted by simply being available at check points near military bases. They generally just sit there until the civilian cop indicates a need for assistance with a military person caught up in the road block. If a marine MP tries to tell you to walk a straight line or do anything else, you need not comply. However, there is nothing wrong with an MP observing and waiting for some marine to be driving without a license.
My guess is that the Military Police are being trained in how to operate this kind of check point. Another possibility is that the checkpoint may be at a location where there is concurrent military and civilian jurisdiction (such as a public highway that runs through a military reservation).
The fact of the matter is that there is not enough information presented in the blog to justify any sort of reasonable conclusion. Why don’t you calm down and wait for the checkpoint to be conducted before you jump to any conclusions regarding legality and illegality?
I live in L.A., honestly, I can pretend to be stunned after reading the source you cited, but I am not. I don’t know if this is related to that: but a month before the elections, we started hearing and seeing helicopters flying very low, once, twice, 3 times PER DAY, and it’s been like this ever since (almost 3 months…. today I heard 2 already). Before we used to hear them once or twice a week when they chased someone but they never really flew so low.
These helicopters are different ones, my neighbors and I went to the Police Station to complain about the noise and the beam lights they use in the middle of the night. They told us: "They are doing their job for your own protection" and that’s it, they didn’t give us any more details. Protection against what?
I found NO information on the internet about why we hear up to 3 helicopters flying above us on a daily basis.
Maybe it has some kind of connection with what this blog said.
