The Supreme Court has issued opinions in cases dealing with a wide range of intrusiveness in searches and seizures. Why are roadblocks to control the flow of illegal aliens less intrusive than stationhouse detention?

What will be an ideal response?


Roadblocks to control the flow of illegal aliens are less intrusive than stationhouse
detention, because they are temporary stops on public highways. The length of the
stop for a roadblock is usually just a few minutes, whereas a stationhouse detention
can last more than an hour. At roadblocks, you may not even need to exit your
vehicle, whereas a stationhouse detention involves you traveling to the police station.
