I didn't say they were preventing people from using the road, I said they were restricting peoples freedom of movement. I don't view those statements as synonymous.the difference between this and traffic lights/stop signs is the latter doesn't erect a physical barrier where my freedoms are subject to the whims of a random individual. As consequence, I don't agree with police checkpoints either as a method of policing.
