Ohio Police Department Using Fake Drug Checkpoints

I don't quite understand how this is any different from a real checkpoint. There's a sign that says there's a checkpoint, there's dogs, and four cars were searched.

Only difference is they didn't search 100% of the cars.

Not sure how they do it in Ohio, but they've been doing this in Missouri for a while. They post the signs right before an exit that is rarely used that say something like "Drug checkpoint ahead be prepared to stop." I think I even saw it say something like last exit before checkpoint once. They then stop everyone that gets off at the exit. If you take a second to think about it, it's pretty obvious. Apparently it still manages to catch people.

They wouldn't search 100% of cars at a real checkpoint either.
