However a highway code may mention the authority of the highway police
to establish roadblocks and stop vehicles in relation to general
criminal issues.  (But it is obviously not against any law for the
police to not establish roadblocks and vehicle searches for every bank
robbery ever committed, just as there is no requirements for CAs to
revoke certificates for every allegedly fraudulent use possible).
