Summary: Prove innocence?  Not my experience.

I have encountered police drunk driving checkpoints a few times in
Maryland, and in each case the officer stopped me, asked "Excuse me
sir, but have you had anything to drink this evening?", accepted my
"No, sir, I have not." and waved my on.  This is the dreaded police
state in which we are required to prove our innocence in order to
escape harrassment?  C'mon!  Maybe in your neighbourhood...  

I may work for the Army, but my long hair and beard don't make me look
like a policeman's ideal citizen.
