@Applachia0928 Agreed.... Hes a freaky bum.... And Border Patrol is allowed on the train along as the DEA and the Amtrak Police. Its a goverment run train.... If you dont like it drive a your car.
@trainmasta227 Amtrak is not a government run train. It is a privately run company that is subsidized by the government. They have no ownership of the company.
@trainmasta227 Amtrak is a publicly traded company that is subsidized by the Federal Government. You can buy Amtrak stock. If it was government owned you wouldn't be able to.
@trainmasta227 No it does not. It goes through the New York Stock Exchange. It is a publicly traded company. What do you not understand about that. It is in clear and concise English and where it contradicts you, you pull this BS out of where the sun doesn't shine.
@TheSportCompact Lets hope the next time you cross the crossing of a rail line the gates go down and surround your vehicle. With no way of escape your doors became jammed. An Amtrak Train plows through your car. Hippie Freak
@trainmasta227 Hippie freak? I hate to break it to you I am a New Englander born and bred from NH the "Live Free or Die" state where we value our civil liberties like one's inalienable right to privacy along with free and open travel, which both are defined in the Constitution. Support big brother and the NWO so they can monitor everything you do so when it comes time to round up people for the FEMA camps they get you first. I will be free while you are in a FEMA concentration camp.
@TheSportCompact I was born in WASHINGTON DC. I Support The Goverments Rights to Search a Train. How would you like it if a terrorist was on your train. Your train explodes killing everyone on it. How about criminals trying to sneak drugs into a different country or escape from there crimes. Think of this case from Bellevue Washington. Police suspect two boys of murdering a one of theirs families. They fled to Canada by bus and it took them 4 months to find them and 8 months to get a warrant.
@trainmasta227 The Government's right to search a train? They have no right to do so. The Constitution says that they can not. Oh no the terrorist card. For your information 9/11 and every supposed attempted attack since was engineered by the Government. The underwear bomber was proven to be a CIA asset and was escorted on the plane by a Federal agent. The Times Square bomber was setup by the FBI, a proven fact, and 9/11 was a revamped Operation Northwoods. Just google these incidents and see.
@trainmasta227 Conspiracy is not a bad word. The government and it's illegal actions you are so wrongfully defending are conspiracies. That same government uses conspiracy all the time to categorize things we do, but that is different huh? Nice response. It doesn't even address the facts I brought up, like the underwear bomber being escorted to America by a Federal Agent, the Times Square bomber being setup by the FBI, or that Operation Northwoods mirrors 9/11 perfectly.
They have 100 mile "Constitution Free Zone" it goes 100 miles "inside" the U.S border all the way around! under the law you have no rights, no legal recourse, and nobody is accountable for it other then the U.S department of home land security! if you live inside this zone be-aware you have no rights other then those the government affords you. no right to legal counsel.
U.S. supreme court justice said it once. you have the right to remain silent and I would exercise it when being questioned!
Let's face it. The constitution was created during a time period when people generally valued morality, and somebody's "word" was almost as binding as a contract. I think it is safe to say that now a good portion of Americans were not raised properly and do not adhere to moral values. The Constitution was written based on the fact That people were inherintly good at heart.
so based on that arguement, all of us should be subjected to a violation of privacy in the worst way, because the Fed Govt says that..,"We the Authorities Say that 'You're Guilty Until YOU Prove Yourself Innocent & THATS Why We Have To Search You.'.. because 'The Fed doesn't think YOU/I weren't taught as They see fit, & this makes it OK,.. No Matter the Law,'.. And nevermind the Pat Act or FISA, or the cellphone tracking, or what you purchase, .. this is just "OK".
The War on Poverty in the late 60's & the Legislation Passed,.. along with The War on Drugs in the 80's & the Legislation Passed,.. & now The War on Terror & the Legislation Passed,.. Have robbed the people of (over the years) of their "inalienable rights".. & its getting worse, & accelerating..
But one final question... How Does The Word "War",(as used by the Fed Govt), Change the Constitutuion?
@Wrongway1965 I actually agree with you. I believe that the founders didn't want the government to be so involved in our lives. I think it is safe to say that the founders would be appalled with us and what we have allowed our humble Republic to turn into. I am an avid supporter of Ron Paul and when I see people boo a modern day founding father like him, I am brought to tears. You know America is in trouble when people boo the idea of individual responsibility and smaller government.
OK. I understand but disagree. The founders 'Knew' how an unchecked Federal power would behave.. (just like they are now..) & put these limits on them to stop them from doing so.. They'd just survived a war from an oppressive Govt. & didn't want a repeat in the near future.. They had witnessed how people in power behaved, based on their own experiences..
I can see the basis for your argument, but politely disagree..
These are probably the same people that bitch about drugs taking over the community... pros and cons people. The grass is always greener on the other side.
I don't care if this is linked to cannabis, meth, or heroin TV! Does it diminish the purity of the fact that you've become more of a slave in only 10 years?
What's amazing to me is how positively people responded. Now, I think you'd probably be ignored out of fear. Great video, thanks for reminding us that we do have some guts down there somewhere.
this guys not stoopid.. im gonna print some shirts grab a 12 pack and head to the beach like this fucker..dude got a tan, got drunk and made 2 or 3 hundred lol.. and your STILL gonna get searched
While I agree with all of this, the "cannabis tv" thing hurts your credibility. It makes those of us that don't do drugs look like we're part of the (illegal) drug world if we speak the words you use. Why must you link this to drugs?
I completely love you man, you are a total blessing to the american people. I just wish I could get some of those T-shirts. I would wear that thing EVERYWHERE!
Now we need another one that has the 5th amendment on it as well so that people will stop incriminating themselves in their ignorance. Sadly enough though, even innocent people are treated as criminals though if they decide to exercise those constitutional rights. (Hey, how WOULD one go about getting one of those T-shirts?)
Yes, Dr..they can and do lie..but there has been one little thing that has thrown a wrench in all of this..the wireless phone video camera. Law enforcement has actually started a push to outlaw the use of these cameras. They want legislation that states that it is illegal to video a cop doing his"duty." ...right.
I don't smoke cannibus...nor do I want to...but I do support this!
These so called "Servants of the Public" who are paid by our tax contributions, to do our will, in accordance with the Constitution of The United States are ONLY interested in protecting and serving their current ability to extract money from our governments.
Police are Cowards!! Anyone who fires a gun at somebody NOT wielding a gun themselves has NO honor
Police do not even honor the Constitution of our Country!!
@canmanvegas Just wait till it gets like it is over here in the UK, cams on nearly every street, damn they even want to put them in our homes!!!! Good luck to you all in the land of the free
This isnt the land of the free, in fact the government has wiped there ass with the constitution.
It states in the constitution that grown adults have the right to ingest whatever they choose to, and legislation will not control what man puts in his body.
That went down the shit-hole along with every other right we have, because cops can break ANY law they please or disregard anyones rights because they can lie there way out of any crime, even murder.
I want a 4th amendment tshirt some cop told me I had to get off my friends property because there was a party next door? I know I could have argued it cuz i know the law but I know they'd just do what they want not that any charges could be file but just don't wanna spend the night in jail. But there should be severe 4 or 5 figure fines for officials that abuse there authority.
The bottom line is that when a few choose to ignore and flaunt the law everybody pays for their sins. Like the security at the U.S. airports because of 19 terrorist hijack bombers. Also when people choose to : 'do their own thing" it means everybody else suffers for the selfishness and self centeredness of others.
Besides if it's a threat to be searchwed maybe people should move to a cave in a desert somewhere with a big water and food supply and live like hermits so nobody will threathen their "freedom".
@preachermyron: Maybe. Or maybe people should exercise the right to be free from unreasonable searches. No reason to live in a cave. Besides, it's the law.
@Pafoofnik1 sorry but because of a few foolish people who refuse to obey the law everyone suffers. What freedom do you gain by allowing just anyone to travel? For example the 19 terrorists bombers who entered our country so they could learn how to get back at us by turning passenger jets into missles that killed 3,000 inocent lives?
@preachermyron: Thank you for your comments. I don't see anywhere in this video where the person is advocating refusing to obey any laws here. If you see a threat in this mans words, then perhaps you will find that the threat is actually inside of you.
@astaroth333777 if the planes that hit the towers were military jets, then where are the passengers? If you know where they are, I think their relatives would like to know. Please call them.
This Amtrak train operates exteremely close to the U.S, / Mexican border where much illegal activity happens. Does this foolish man want to risk the dangers of what this areas bring just to have some mythical freedom which compromises protection against such illegal activity?
@Pafoofnik1 our freedomm is only being threatened by those who refuse to respect our immigration laws making searches more nexcessary. Thank goodness for the 2 U.S. Border Patrol agents who boarded our westbound Empire Builder last fall.
@preachermyron: Albuquerque is 229 miles from the Mexico border and over 800 miles from the Canadian border; hardly 'exteremely close'.
What I get from the video is a person educating train goers that it is perfectly legal to refuse search requests from DEA agents, which is a fact. I fail to understand how you can consider a fundamental Constitutional right to be a 'mythical freedom'. It's not mythical at all. It's based in the Constitution and considerable case law.
The DEA are the true criminals in this country. They are the very definition of organized crime. They have NO RIGHT to do what they do. Without the 4th amendment and without our rights, we are not AMERICA THE FREE, HOME OF THE BRAVE. We are the America of dictatorship. A police state.
they did this too me they said we have to search your bags, like i had no choice. if you refuse they will void your ticket look it up on amtracks website
kittyprydekissme: Just to let you you, US Customs and Airport security have every right to search you to due to the safety of the plane or the excuse to take all the weed you have. :( but yeah, airports can search you with no probable cause and ever since 9/11, prepare for the latex glove snap... The Lubricated latex glove snap... :( But anyways, as long as your on your country's soil with that right, you can refuse it when there is no basis for a search.
After traveling from Albuquerque to Kansas City, the plain-clothes officers were using search dogs on passengers exiting the train. Not invasive unless you knew what they were doing - illegal searches.
One should never consent to a search without a warrant. When too many people give consent, then it makes any refusal that does happen appear to be an admission of guilt, and thus renders the Fourth Amendment moot.
By the way, I pay for everything with cash. It's easier. It has nothing to do with any crime.
He should give those shirts out at airports, too. We really need them there.
unfortunately there isn't much of a 4th amendment in the airport. By entering security areas, you're giving consent to any search, whether it be with probable cause or not.
OK the commentator looks pissed not because of rights being violated, but because they got a tip about a supply being moved on that trip. Those guys are after drugs and when they make a move it got to be serious.
I'm a 50+ white male Protestant. I wear my hair as short as I did when I was active duty in the Marine Corps. Married, 3 kids. Church member. I don't use drugs: hell, I don't even drink alcohol. I ride Amtrak regularly.
And I'd never-EVER-consent to a warrentless search by ANY cop. By denying permission to these DEA clowns to search my property, I'm upholding the greatest of conservative values: the right to be left alone and protection from arbitrary government intrusion.
"Some people just have no grasp of that, usually children like the doughboy down there. "
They don't appreciate it until it's THEIR nuts in the wringer-when some loose cannon cop craps on THEIR 4th Amendment rights. Then they want the best criminal defense attorney they can find, AND they want the best lawsuit shark that walks to handle the 42 USC 1983 civil action (which of course is 100% meritorious and entitles them to millions in damages) they can find.
BenAligator: I wear my hair as short as I did when I was active duty in the Marine Corps. And I'd never-EVER-consent to a warrentless search by ANY cop.
Good for you! You took an oath to defend the constitution. and if you agree to these searches which are a violation of our constitutional rights, you are not upholding that oath.
@Stogie7884 I was constantly reminded of my "diminished rights" under the UCMJ when I was in- usually by non-coms and junior officers who were parroting what they'd been told.. As a civilian, I have no such concerns. Thank God for small favors, right? lol
Actually, the Constitution reserves all non-specific authority to the states and individuals. In 1919 Congress had to amend the Constitution to prohibit alcohol.
The Founding Fathers were concerned about precedents set by authority.
As Justice Brandeis said, "Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the governments purposes are beneficial. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding".
@cannabistv Your really bored with your life huh? Sorry the government chose saftey for you ride on the train. Its their train they get to search whatever they want
It does not matter what good they may or may not do, law enforcement CAN NOT violate the Constitution. You do NOT have to consent to a warrantless search without being arrested and an officer has to have probable cause to do that. I determine from this most recent response that you are either a child, or you are working with limited mental faculties, I therefore end this tiff. It is quite plain to me that you are someone who does not deserve the freedom which is offered in this country.
Pillsbury09 that is a silly arguement. So just because you have nothing to hide it's ok for the Government to conduct ILLEGAL searches. They are breaking the law by searc hing witout cause. If the person they are searching breaks the law they are held accountable, but the governemnt isn't. I guess you would allow them to do an anal cavity search as well, I mean hey you have nothing to hide right?
"Can you please prove to me that the DEA has EVER composed an Illegal search though??
All I see in this video is some stupid liberal hippie screaming like a little pussy."
This is really too easy:
UNITED STATES v. JACKSON, 381 F.3d 984.(10th Circuit, 2004) Federal district court's (Dist. of N.M) granting of motion to suppress evidence obtained by DEA agent in unlawful search of Amtrak passenger UPHELD by US Circuit Court of Appeals.
You, Anton; are an unmitigated idiot. You need to actually READ the fourth amendment. However your reply is not surprising upon seeing that you live in California.
You are free... free to believe the lies,there are 2 constitutions, (both are a fraud) and neither of them have MY signature on them. Federal jurisdiction does not apply to a sovereign, ... if you know who YOU are that is, (and who THEY are NOT)
You must be insane. The US has one constitution, it is what you will follow or you enact to change it. If you are insane and you want it changed to some socialist rag then you need to just pick up and move to a socialist country.
Supposing they claimed people were hiding drugs in their children's private parts and they said they had to take your kid into a back room without your presence and search your child. I guess that would be okay with you since you have nothing to hide.
The Israeli police at airports have been known to take little Arabic girls away from their mothers in to back rooms to strip search them. I really wouldn't put it past our military or security to start doing stuff like that. When you give them the intial authority and power of you to be randomly stopped, they'll just start doing more and more
Approximately 6% of the agricultural land area of the contiguous United States would produce more Cannabis Biomass than is required to supply all current demand for gasoline, diesel, and oil in the US
4/5 of things being done on this planet are dependent on some kind of OIL product. The reason cannabis/hemp was made illegal and is kept illegal even with overwhelming proof of its SAFE RELAXING HERB to continue the profiteering of the very few!

Actually, Libertarians are sometimes called too Conservative - but that's true Conservatism, not the Neo-Con, Neo-Puritain variety. Real Conservatives hate a Prohibition, as it generates all manner of scum - organized crime; lack of respect for the law; corruption of law enforcement and politicians...
I heard a quote from an officer asked why he was carrying an automatic weapon at a crime scene- he said it was because they 'didn't know if the person was armed'. Turns out they weren't. So they should bring some of those too. That child could be packing a piece- and everyone knows when it comes to packing, kids under 7 always carry the heavy machinery.
Better safe than sorry. Seriously people, Always Submit!
4:54 is perfect to serve the agents with responsibility for their illegal actions, which they claim are protected by company rules, which can be found unconstitutional (sometimes only by the Supreme court, but by whatever route necessary)
This guy handing out the shirts has his heart in the right place but by the same token, if you refuse Amtrak their right to search the goods you're bringing aboard their train, they have the right NOT to allow you transport aboard their trains.
Amtrak has the right to cooperate with any Federal agency. I see nothing wrong with them searching me when boarding their trains. I for one feel safer. It's no more illegal than the TSA searching you at the Airport.
Maybe if their weren't any terrorist's in the world, we wouldn't have to take such measures.
some of the public transport systems set up by federal programs are obligated to cooperate, by some lines in their contracts. rarely, though. but always get a lawyer as soon as possible to find out if they do or don't

Group files lawsuit against DC vehicle checkpoints
By BRIAN WESTLEY (Associated Press Writer)
From Associated Press
June 20, 2008 5:30 PM EDT
WASHINGTON - A civil liberties group filed a lawsuit Friday seeking an injunction against the District of Columbia police department's vehicle checkpoint program, calling the "military-style" initiative unconstitutional and ineffective.
The gentlemen that got the present tore open and searched technically has every right to sue those responsible. And he should have gotten their names and taken them to court. And he would have won.
Are you going to pay to retain a lawyer? It is very expensive to stand up for yourself, which is why I wish public schools would teach people about laws concerning government searches.
How does it work at an airport ? I arrived back into the US after spending a week in amsterdam. When I left the gate, heading towards immigration, there was a woman who told me to drop my backpack, and let a dirty dog smell my backpack. I had to open it because of osme imported cheese. What the heck ? Is that allowed ? I mean, yeah, I could bring the cheese into the country, but I refer can they just let a dirty dog smell my property, and search my bag ?
but they couldn't find any weed, I did smoke weed in Amsterdam, but I also smoke here in SF. It's my Constitutional right. I don't want a dirty dog sniffing my bags.
I am terribly sorry sweetcheecks, but of all the wonderful freedoms provided by our Constitution the possession and use of illegal drugs is not a member. When you enter an airport, you are under a secure area, you can be searched without a warrant. You were searched in customs, not immigration and when you go through customs you may be searched. Especially coming from where marijuana is legal. It's also highly possible the dog was cleaner than you were. I find people like you very disturbing.
get some close ups, so their family members can be proud of them and see what they do for a living, and explain why they violate their own oath to protect defend the constitution, 4th amendment, due process,
Try to videotape police officers who pull someone over. Most cops will tell you to turn it off, if you don't, even if you are standing out of the way, they say you're interfering with police business. Or arrest you for wiretapping laws that forbids audio recordings of any second party without their permission.
Personally I don't believe police officers have any right to privacy while they're performing a public duty. I agree you shouldn't go stand by them and get in the way but if we're videotaped by their dashboard cams they should be videotaped by citizens.
MA Attorney General Tom Reilly threatened Internet activist Mary T. Jean with arrest and felony prosecution for posting a video of state police swarming a home and arresting a man without a warrant.
Michael Gannon of New Hampshire was also arrested on felony wiretapping charges in 2006 after recording a police officer who was being verbally abusive on his doorstep.
Photojournalist Carlos Miller was arrested in February of 2007 after taking pictures of on-duty police officers in Miami.
You are calling recording a in person conversation Wiretap, that is and never was covered under Federal wiretap laws. Officials and police threaten all sorts of stuff. Recently I was told by 4 officers that I would be arrested if I "failed to comply" I laughed and walked away. Don't be bullied out of your rights. An arrest is nothing I have been arrested for exercising my constitutionally protected rights twice. No convictions, two small cash settlements. Police are totally ignorant of law.
I'm not sure you know what you're talking about. Just look up Brian Kelly of Carlisle, Pa. Kelly was charged with a felony, spent 26 hours in jail, and faces up to 10 years in prison. All for merely recording a police officer, a public servant, while he was on the job.
"Wiretap" refers to just that, taping a phone and is regulated under Federal wiretap laws such as the Omni Bus Crime Act, Title 3 . This situation didn't occur in PA which recently enacted a State no-record the cops law (which hasn't been tested through the courts yet ). PA law is of no consequence where this ytube tape was shot. Just because someone was arrested doesn't mean the will be convicted.
Well Aleister, if you can't make the cover of GQ you have no business protecting the Constitution...and make sure you age well because nobody will take your revolution seriously if you strut around the battlefield without a Britney Spears clone on your arm.
If I have to make a choice, I'll take the hair gel over civil rights every time...
ya because only supermodels can make a difference in this world. You been watching too much fuckn O.C. Unless your comment was a joke. If its not then I ment what I said. But heroes come in all shapes and sizes and colors and dress.

I can see the basis for your argument, but politely disagree..

The bottom line is that when a few choose to ignore and flaunt the law everybody pays for their sins. Like the security at the U.S. airports because of 19 terrorist hijack bombers. Also when people choose to : 'do their own thing" it means everybody else suffers for the selfishness and self centeredness of others.

One should never consent to a search without a warrant. When too many people give consent, then it makes any refusal that does happen appear to be an admission of guilt, and thus renders the Fourth Amendment moot.

Actually, the Constitution reserves all non-specific authority to the states and individuals. In 1919 Congress had to amend the Constitution to prohibit alcohol.
The Founding Fathers were concerned about precedents set by authority.

I am terribly sorry sweetcheecks, but of all the wonderful freedoms provided by our Constitution the possession and use of illegal drugs is not a member. When you enter an airport, you are under a secure area, you can be searched without a warrant. You were searched in customs, not immigration and when you go through customs you may be searched. Especially coming from where marijuana is legal. It's also highly possible the dog was cleaner than you were. I find people like you very disturbing.

You are calling recording a in person conversation Wiretap, that is and never was covered under Federal wiretap laws. Officials and police threaten all sorts of stuff. Recently I was told by 4 officers that I would be arrested if I "failed to comply" I laughed and walked away. Don't be bullied out of your rights. An arrest is nothing I have been arrested for exercising my constitutionally protected rights twice. No convictions, two small cash settlements. Police are totally ignorant of law.

"Wiretap" refers to just that, taping a phone and is regulated under Federal wiretap laws such as the Omni Bus Crime Act, Title 3 . This situation didn't occur in PA which recently enacted a State no-record the cops law (which hasn't been tested through the courts yet ). PA law is of no consequence where this ytube tape was shot.
