How about this, they do nothing and allow american jobs to keep disappearing to the likes of illegal aliens. I would find such a stop reassuring that my tax dollars are being spent in part on securing the nation. Or again, we can continue to be invaded and moving toward a largely illegal work force.
did you ever find out why he pulled you over? you had every right in asking the cop who he is why he pulled you over and you didn't need to roll your window all the way down.
So what were you doing out there that made you look suspicious?
It was pretty late in the evening and probably not in an area you were sopposed to be and you really need to show the whole thing with no cuts in sound or video.
and how do you know the guy who pulled you over was a real border patrol agent and not some whack job?
In an area I'm not supposed to be bernielhat? Looks like you're grasping at straws in an attempt to justify the actions of this agent.
Doesn't matter what time of day or night it is regarding traveling along a public highway. Agents need reasonable suspicion to initiate a traffic stop. If the agent had reasonable suspicion here, he wouldn't have turned around & walked away when confronted.
The only interfering & evading going on here bernielhat was from a Border Patrol agent who interfered with my travels absent reasonable suspicion & then evaded justifying his actions when confronted. In fact, he evaded so much he practically ran back to his patrol vehicle to get away.
BTW, no one should cooperate with enforcement agents who illegally shotgun traffic & seek to violate the very rights their sworn to protect.
Why make it harder on law enforcement to do their jobs? If you have truly done nothing wrong, then whats the problem? It just makes it seem like your hiding something.
You don't see a problem with an armed gov't agent pulling you over absent suspicion in the middle of the desert in the middle of the night Cce2902? Such actions are illegal, an abuse of authority & shouldn't be tolerated in a free society.
@CheckpointUSA Not really. It may be because I have a biased view towards law enforcement. I have been around law enforcement for most of my life. A lot of my family members are LEOs. I myself am in the process of becoming a Federal Officer. So, no, i don't see a problem. I always carry my ID that shows I'm an American citizen and obey the law. It seems that your just paranoid and aren't telling the whole story. This reminds me of the people my parents have to deal with, and they are good people
Thank you for being honest regarding the fact you don't see a problem with so-called law enforcement officers or agents violating the law or abusing their authority Cce2902. It sounds like you're under the impression that we the people exist to serve the government instead of the other way around.
I certainly hope your perspective shifts after you become a federal officer but unfortunately the shift rarely works in that direction.
If he is a BP agent, he probably had some kind of reasonable suspicion to think you may have breaking the law that is within his scope of authority to enforce. Then upon approach of your vehicle, he realized that you're just a cry-baby caucasian minute-man wanna be and when you started giving him a hard time, he was like "fuck this guy, 10-8"...
I do believe all the negative comments on this page are done my BP Agents, you have to be some sort of Wack job to join the BP, with low self esteem, narcissistic issues, and an IQ level below 10.
"POLICE officers" are Corporate officers (where the word derives from), however,
"PEACE OFFICERS" are LAWFUL servants of the common law. Always make sure to ask which you are dealing with.
This is merely one example of Lawful vs "Legal."
'Legal' is color of law, but NOT law.. legalities may only carry the "force of law", but are not now, never were or will be the LAW. In fact.. many are frauds.. which is what you expose time and time again in your videos.
Ummmm....why didn't the agent simply say, "My apologies, sir. False alarm. You're free to go." Or usually when they pull you over don't they identify themselves? I know Law Enforcement does. Its hard to know what you are supposed to do when he pulls away, be free to leave or sit there with your finger up your nose until he gets back?
Either get used to it, or stand up with other law abiding citizens and REPEAL THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL PATRIOT ACT! The decision is ours! I choose freedom over fear mongering officials. What about you?
hey !! are you an illegal , or are ya smuggling drugs, if the answer is no to both those questions, than quit being such a candy ass cry baby, he left ya alone, stopped ya for a few seconds and your crying like some little bitch, man up !!! this is the new world we live in
Sounds like you're the only one around here "crying like some little bitch" billspompano. What's the matter? Does seeing someone successfully exercise their rights remind you of just how much of an authoritarian brown-noser you are?
Really bullspompano, man up & take some pride in the heritage the founders of this country left for us.
@billspompano The new world we live in? That statement makes you sound insane. It is NOT the world myself and many other choose to live in. Comments like yours make it harder to live freely, though they do educate us on the level of thinking occurring within some of the public.
You know what Terry that kind of "patrolling" is totally unexceptable. I've been pulled over counting 8 times for absolutely no reason and im now sorry i ever handed my drivers license over and engaged in conversation. I still cant believe that people are against what you are doing, living near the border and having dealt with the harassment from the border patrol 60 miles from the border is enough to make a man crazy, its absolutely ridiculous how so called border security is being handled.
I don't think border patrol agents are allowed to stop someone for a traffic or vehicle code offense, and unless someone at the agents dispatch screwed up and told him a vehicle matching yours was containing illegals this stop had to have targetted.
How far away was this from the checkpoint in your other videos, and how far north of the border is this portion of SR86?
This stop took place about 2-3 miles from the checkpoint appearing in my other videos Reaganwannabe. This portion of SR86 is about 40 miles North of the border.
The U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) is an agency within Customs & Border Protection (CBP) which is part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Chaikovskyrules.
@julieification Is that a reference to the alleged Hitler era. Just stop right there. Facts have shown that it's false and if three teamsof American Army pathologists who spent 2 yrs searching for poisoned bodies in Germany never found one, safe to say none existed. The Hitler comparison you try to slip in is bogus.Nobody got gassed. period. You got proof of something to the contrary beyond BS hearsay stories or confessions given under torture, let see it.
I have seen Homeland security police vehicles around town. This town has a city police department and a sheriffs department (and by the way, the sheriffs dept was given two military tanks by the federal government)
What in the hell is the homeland security police and what is their purpose? Are the citizens about to be invaded by the government or what?
Law enforcement should not be able to stop people who are not engaged in criminal activity, PERIOD! If the person being stopped has been involved in a crime or is engaged in criminal activity then that's understandable, but to simply stop someone for nothing is BS!!!
I didn't cut the video roxygirl9398. You saw the entire traffic stop. The agent turned around, got back into his vehicle and then drove off. I guess he didn't want to explain himself when he realized I was videotaping the entire encounter.
I think you are hiding something worth looking into! Look, I'm just giviing you what you want ATTENTION! So again whom were you calling sir? Come on who was it?
You forgot to use all caps purostg2630. If you use all caps to demand to know who I called, I might feel intimidated enough to answer your question. Worth a try....
BTW, thank you for pointing out that your suspicions regarding what I might be hiding along with your demands for me to answer your questions are about as impotent as those of the Border Patrol agents in my videos.
Whom were you calling? Why didn't you roll the windows down? Why do you continue to do this? What is your point? Why must you ride around and look for these types of situations to get into? And again why are you doing this?
Who I was calling is none of your business purostg2630. Why should I roll down my window while being seized absent suspicion by armed men in the middle of the night in a remote desert location? If you can't determine my point from my videos, website & blog you need more help then I can provide. What makes you think I "ride around" looking for these situations? Did it ever occur to you that maybe I'm being harassed by DHS agents while traveling to/from work sites inside the country?
What does the difficulty of your question have to do with the price of tea in China purostg2630? Let me repeat - who I was calling is none of your business, nor the Border Patrol's for that matter. With regards to what I'm hiding, it's called privacy. You may have heard of it before. Privacy are things that are none of your business by definition such as who I call, where I'm going, where I'm coming from, what's in my car, etc. Don't like it? I guess that's too bad for you.
Dear Checkpoint USA--What the fuck were you doing riding around trying to intimidate law enforcemet officials with your video cam rolling anyway? You are most definately a Commie Pinko and you need to take your ass to a country that would better serve your wants and desires---hummm, Mexico, maybe? Asshole!
I think you're confused LARCARFUMAN01. Commie pinko's are those misguided individuals that want to empower government agents to be able to pull over anybody on the flimsiest excuses and demand their unquestioning obedience. They want larger more intrusive government in order to be able to control every aspect of an individual's life.
You'd think somebody claiming to be as old as you would understand this but I guess wisdom doesn't come with age for authoritarian punks like yourself.
To checkpoint usa-- you're still the one tthat's clueless. You don't know what call the agent may have received that was of more importance than the idiot he stopped in the vehicle(who probably was working for checkpoint).
Doesn't matter what call he had beforehand LARCARFUMAN01. If he had reasonable suspicion to initiate the stop in the first place, he wouldn't have turned tail and ran away without asking any questions or explaining himself during the stop.
This idiot that got stopped by the border patrol agent must have done something to draw attention to himself. Why did he have a video camera on and recording? Why was the first words out of his mouth, "Why are you stopping me AGENT"?". He's a friggin' LIB freak trying to create an incident!!!
If the Border Patrol agent had reasonable suspicion to initiate the stop in the first place LARCARFUMAN01, why did he slink back to his patrol vehicle & drive away after seeing my camera without asking any questions & after refusing to answer my questions as to why he initiated the stop in the first place?
I have several articles on my website detailing court proceedings where Border Patrol agents have admitted to shotgunning traffic. Try educating yourself before commenting next time please.
Really? I have to explain my analogy? Hm, and I thought you were an intellectual individual but now, you seem to be more like the average liberal thinking "I have rights in the United States" disgruntled piece of shit. You are not their customer (ooo, you got that right) so they do not cater to you. Acting like a dick and yelling "WHAT IS YOUR NAME AGENT?" while filming a law enforcement official is such a great start in trying to subdue the situation.
One of the best ways to "subdue the situation" created by a "law enforcement official" who has overstepped his lawful authority is to demand his name while filming him Cataclysm135. Demanding his name reminds him of who he ultimately answers to while making it clear the easy mark he thought he had may not be so easy after all. Filming him lets him know his words & deeds can be used against him in a court of law if necessary.
Regarding your foul mouth, you must have nothing intelligent to say.
No, my statements and questions were completely and entirely intelligent. You provided the answer I wanted, which in conclusion, brings me to believe you are a bitter human being who would like nothing more than to see your country free of law enforcement agencies. I suppose, in turn, that would vastly improve the security of the law abiding U.S. citizens, right? I have yet to see a video of someone getting pulled over for something stupid that they have done. The cops are always at fault.
Your logic & intellect is astounding Cataclysm135. As such, perhaps you could enlighten us as to why this armed federal agent got back into his vehicle & drove away without asking any questions, without explaining the reason for the stop & without searching my vehicle after seeing my camera. How often does that happen do you think?
BTW, if you want to read about Border Patrol agents illegally shotgunning traffic, you can read about a few cases where agents admit to it on my blog.
You're also pretty quick to make unfounded assumptions about people whom you disagree with Cataclysm135. Doesn't that make you guilty of what you accuse others of or is everyone else always wrong?
With regards to your statements being "completely & entirely intelligent" Cataclysm135, you've yet to make one having anything to do with the specific events depicted in my videos. I'm not dealing with hypotheticals. I'm dealing with real events. As such, why don't you direct your superior intellect & logic to dissecting my videos & prove my actions & comments are inconsistent with the state of the law instead of making insulting remarks & sweeping generalities having little basis in reality.
If I was as loose with my generalizations about you as you are with me Cataclysm135. I might accuse you of being someone who thinks law enforcement agencies & personnel can do no wrong. That would undoubtedly be a mischaracterization of someone with your intellectual capabilities however. It would also be assuming you've never heard of or visited injusticeeverywhere (dot com) which keeps a running tally of police misconduct statistics & news articles from across the country.
Yet another foul-mouthed authoritarian punk rears his ugly head. Sorry to disappoint you oASSASINATORo92 but I'm not a pastor. You really should spend a little time figuring out who your talking to before verbally assaulting them.
Why wasn't this clown arrested for interfering with an investigation. He goes out and attracts attention just so he can push everyone to the limit...then thinks he's making a point.
What a 'tard...wait...I guess he did make a point....he's a 'tard. :-)
Will you look at that, the so-called.'professorofliberty' raises his ugly mug yet again. Can't come up with anything intelligent to say so resorts to petty name calling instead.
I have a hard time believing you're a professor of anything, let alone liberty. It's clear you either don't know what it is or if you do, you intend to undermine it.
Regardless, I hope you're not planning on celebrating Independence Day. You're clearly pissed at the founders for doing away with the writ of assistance.
BTW professorofliberty, I wasn't arrested because I didn't do anything illegal. To the contrary, the Border Patrol agent who was illegally shotgunning traffic and initiated an unlawful traffic stop absent reasonable suspicion is lucky I decided to not press charges against him.
@CheckpointUSA Please stop pretending like you're anything but an immature twerp who spends his free time trying to bait law enforcement personnel because it gives you a hard-on. You're so painfully insecure....like a jerk who harasses a sales clerk because you know they have to take it. Only difference....you cloak yourself in phony civil rights camouflage and expect adults to fall for it.
professorofliberty Please stop pretending like you have anything intelligent to say here. You can't even come up with a statute that I'm allegedly in violation of after claiming I should have been arrested. Your insecurity in the face of individuals willing and able to assert their rights is obvious and your inability to do anything other than engage in childish name calling on these videos makes in painfully obvious that you're nothing more than a troll. As such, go troll someplace else.
@CheckpointUSA I have you good feeling that you'd be wasting your time (and I am sure you know it, which is why you did nothing). You have no way of knowing what information he may have received prior to stopping you or what his suspicions were.
it was an illegal stop :Police do not have the right to do this and or act this way.
An open window or door is considered an invitation to Most Criminals.
The Person acting as an Officer may have been an impersonater . He did not Identify himself as Obliged under the law and or give a legal reason for the action.
what the fuck, that coward! Damnit we have some selfless bastards working in positions like that. Thats just harassment, no different from some shit head buying blues and 2s and pulling people over for the hell of it!
I am curious why you do not wish to open your window? I fully realize and support your right to refuse to do so, but I would like to know your rationale for disputing that particular request. Specifically, I see it as a way of easing communication between oneself and law enforcement officers, and refusing to do so seems only to result in antagonizing someone who is, truly, only trying to do their job. Absolutely you shouldn't have to answer their questions, but that part just seems petty to me.
The last time I gave an officer/agent the benefit of the doubt by rolling down my window & engaging in polite conversation, I was dragged out & maliciously charged with several violations. I defeated those charges in court & launched an ongoing lawsuit that's over 7 years old.
That's one reason.
Other reasons can be found in a recent article on my blog & a more detailed writeup of this particular incident. I encourage you to check the blog out for more information regarding all my videos.
@Chasmodius The very bottom line here is that exercising ones rights in whatever way antagonizes LEO. They just don't like it or respect you when you exercise your rights. They'd much prefer it if you allowed them to walk all over you. They are our SERVANTS - they are the ones who should be 'yes sir - no sir' but they expect the opposite and when somebody exercises their rights and frustrates them - makes their job more difficult - they assault you and try to make your life hell.
@Chasmodius Probably because there a lot of crimes by people posing as law inforcement in the area. I used to live in AZ and am all too familiar with what goes on there.
at least the BP officer was friendly. Doesnt seem like this two minute and 24 second encounter has left you scarred for life. So what you're getting at here is not anti border protection, rather anti BP acting as LEO's? Im just a little confused thats all. Maybe we should use NG troops for border protection instead of 83 series LE, might take away some of the confusion. Just a thought.
I think the confusion comes from Border Patrol agents not actually patrolling the border or its functional equivalent but instead harassing domestic traffic inside the country absent reasonable suspicion or probable cause goarmymp.
If this agent had reasonable suspicion, he wouldn't have turned around & left like he did. His actions undermine the rule of law and the safety/security/liberty of the traveling public.
Dude I watched but when it was evident you were pretty much cutting the tape and video to show off how you want us to see things, I can't really take you seriously, imo the cop was being polite. Asking you to roll down your window and you were just screaming I WANT UR NAME@!!!! GIMME UR NAME!!!!
God, I have paranoia problems and I don't act as retarded as you did!
@YamsRyu You should pay closer attention. I didn't cut any video. I muted the audio in one section because my personal information was being broadcast over the agent's radio.
Additionally, it wasn't a cop who stopped me. It was a federal Border Patrol agent who only has authority to initiate a traffic stop if he has reasonable suspicion to believe the vehicle contains illegal aliens.
If he had such a belief, it wouldn't have mattered who I was & he wouldn't have just walked away.
@CheckpointUSA any LEO making a traffic stop has the right to demand Name, DOB and address. Just ask the supreme court. Does not matter what the stop was for. It's called checking for warrants.
I have asked the Supreme Court goarmymp and this is what they said:
"Border Patrol agents have no part in enforcing laws that regulate highway use, and their activities have nothing to do with an inquiry whether motorists and their vehicles are entitled, by virtue of compliance with laws governing highway usage, to be upon the public highways. - U.S. V Brignoni-Ponce
BP agents have very limited powers centered around immigration. Inside the country they cannot compel the production of an ID.
Additionally, SCOTUS has said the following regarding BP roving patrol stops goarmymp:
"...an officer, whose observations lead him reasonably to suspect that a particular vehicle may contain aliens who are illegally in the country, may stop the car briefly, question the driver & passengers about their citizenship & immigration status, & ask them to explain suspicious circumstances; but any further detention or search must be based on consent or probable cause. - U.S. v Brignoni-Ponce
Finally, even for regular law enforcement officers, an officer must have reasonable suspicion to initiate a roving patrol traffic stop goarmymp. In the absence of reasonable suspicion, a roving patrol stop is illegal.
Even at checkpoints, a warrants check represents a general law enforcement concern. SCOTUS has ruled general law enforcement checkpoints to be illegal in Indianapolis v Edmond.
You'd think an MP who also serves as a sheriff's deputy would have a better grasp on the law...
Never have a challenging attitude when an Officer approaches your vehicle. He may have been stopping you to let you know you had a tire going flat. Take it easy! Things would have gotten ugly between us simply because you felt the need to over react. your lucky the Agent didnt take your actions as a sign of hostility and fear. I would have investigated further to find out why you were acting this way. I can see already that you would have most likely got to "ride the lightning".
Talk about over-reacting 5trapper, you sound like a real liability for whatever community was foolish enough to hire you. With your attitude, you're going to cost the taxpayers quite a bit of money someday.
I do appreciate the comment however. It shows the rest of the folks who watch these videos that enforcers like you walking around with a gun, a badge and a chip on your shoulder aren't there to serve and protect but rather dominate and control.
So you wouldn't feel bad if an office pulled you over to notify you that you had a flat tire or a tail light busted out? What if your vehicle matched the profile of a serial killer or a kidnapper's vehicle? Would you still feel hostile towards them if they're trying to find a bad guy?
Why don't you stay on topic Dozzer. These videos aren't about traffic stops by local or state police officers. They're about suspicionless immigration checkpoints and roving patrol stops by federal Border Patrol agents who have far more limited authority with regards to when they can initiate a traffic stop and what they can do during one.
@5trapper Signs of hostility and fear toward law enforcement do not equate to probable cause or even reasonable suspicion that a crime is being or was committed. What would he "ride the lightning" for? Not liking you? Also, I'm not sure what level of education law enforcement are required to possess, but "you are" is abbreviated as "you're", not "your". We typically learn the difference in 5th grade. Dumbass.
That is ridiculous, how do you know that the agent didn't have any suspicion at all??? More than likely you did something that caught his attention. Besides that, how come you can just simply cooperate and answer any question he could have made? Did you have something to hide? By being aggresive about it you are developing more suspicion. A reasonable citizen will cooperate, which you didn't do. Stop your attitude because is going to bring you nothing but trouble.
@ugascam I'm not sure what video you watched but in the one I posted, the agent had no reasonable suspicion to believe I was in the country illegally. According to U.S. V Brignoni-Ponce, reasonable suspicion is the minimum level required to initiate a roving patrol stop.
If he had reasonable suspicion, he wouldn't have turned tail & ran after seeing my video camera.
If less people weren't as afraid as you to exercise their rights, we wouldn't have so many abuses by government agents.
@ugascam umm, It's concerning that you would not atleast ask for a name and what the purpose of the stop was before the agent or officer spoke...what that tells me is that you are either guilty of whatever or you are submitting you rights as an INDIVIDUAL TRAVELING! get your head on straight.
Cops get mad when WE record them. They should be happy. Pretty soon. More people will stop recording and start making cops dissappear. It happened here in los angeles, CA where one cop got shot in front of his wife and kid. Soon every cop will be hunted for their corrupt acts. Its only a matter of time. I would much rather win in court. But others are getting tired of wasting time.
Thats right. The agent probably went through all of the background checks and tests just in the hope of one day randomnly stopping somoneone up to nothing. And for that privelege? risk of getting hurt. Everyday. Whats not to like? I bet he gets up every morning hoping to harass innnocent people. No thought of sacrificing for the common good. I say we give ALL the rights to the bad guys with the guns. No harassment there. Just the law of the jungle. Thats what you want of course....right?
Sooo.... What's the point of these video's!?! How will you giving BP agents a hard time help anything? It isn't going to save energy, create world order or anything, or get you a date!!! Please stop being an ass to people that are only trying to do their jobs.
What part of the video did you sleep through BrianGraham?
I didn't stop & seize a Border Patrol agent absent suspicion along a public highway in the middle of the night absent suspicion along a curvy highway with no lights and no developed shoulders. The Border Patrol did that to me which means they weren't doing their job, they were abusing their authority.
This video documents that fact and shows others how to protect their rights under such circumstances.
U said it urself u redneck "While driving to a remote work site late in the evening " whats more suspecious than that only having legs hanging out of your trunk. U are an Idiot. all u do is refer to a specific part of the law maybe u should read the Immigration and Naturalization Act and then run ur mouth. Instead of basing ur arguement on other than "suspesionless"
Thanks for the good laugh momo671. Before calling someone else an idiot, you may want to learn how to spell first.
While you're learning to spell, perhaps you could point us to the case law that states driving along a public highway at night represents reasonable suspicion for a BP traffic stop.
Regarding the Immigration & Naturalization Act, I have read it. What you obviously haven't read is U.S. v Brignoni-Ponce where SCOTUS ruled roving patrol traffic stops require reasonable suspicion
"tell me your name agent"..... who the fuck do you think you are? i would pull you over if i new how stupid you are. i prob would have shot you as well to save the rest of the world from your bullshit. if you were a terrorist wouldnt you expect them to pull you over? he was doing his job by checking you out even though he prob didnt do it very well. cops dont need a reason to pull you over and check you out. if they needed a reason first then they wouldnt catch alot of criminals.
It's amazing how many ignorant, violent authoritarian punks like yourself are out there specialtysolutions.
This is America, not some 3rd world tin pot dictatorship. In this country, enforcement agents require reasonable suspicion to initiate traffic stops. So says SCOTUS:
...The 4th Amendment therefore forbids stopping persons for questioning about their citizenship on less than a reasonable suspicion that they may be aliens. - U.S. v Brignoni-Ponce
specialtysolutions has shit for brains. I'm so sick of spineless douchbags like him. "Who does he think he is"? He's an American citizen that knows his rights retard. Try figuring out what yours are before it's too late for you.
For those who haven't seen it yet, officers with the AZ Department of Public Safety and agents with the U.S. Border Patrol brutalized an unarmed non-violent traveler at a BP checkpoint 70 miles East of Yuma last week.
Do a YouTube search on Steven Anderson to see Mr. Anderson's account of the ordeal.
A legal defense fund has been setup for Mr. Anderson. You can checkout my blog for more details regarding the assault along with details on where to donate.
you also refused to follow ANY of his instructions.
and how do you know it was without cause? most of the time someone gets caught speeding they didnt even know it. therefore when they get pulled over they think it is without cause.
If I didn't follow any of his instructions and if he had cause, why do you think he just turned around and drove off? Because he was being a nice guy?
The only thing this agent did wrong was follow through with the vehicle stop. His emergency lights were turned on, why the hell didn't you stop immediately? I wish they would have deflated your tires. Also, you love to smear the agent's names, but cower when your registration information is recorded. You should post your personal information so that criminals can send you a fat stack of dollar bills as a sign of their gratitude. Looking forward to 2009. Keep it up.
You're quite the authoritarian punk aren't you maratines? Now you're advocating for federal agents who conduct illegal traffic stops to also destroy private property?
At least you make a great spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security while making it clear this isn't about the rule of law but rather the rule of men.
You're really making quite a fool of yourself damatt08. The U.S. Supreme Court has made amply clear a roving patrol needs reasonable suspicion to initiate a traffic stop. This agent had none evidenced by him just leaving after stopping me:
"Our prior cases have limited significantly the reach of this congressional authorization, requiring probable cause for any vehicle search in the interior and reasonable suspicion for inquiry stops by roving patrols..." - U.S v Martinez-Fuerte
First off, Checkpoint is a PRIVATE US citizen, therefore he doesn't have to list his name or information to you, in fact it is best he doesn't.
The BP agent is a PUBLIC Official, meaning his name and identification are public record and therefore every US citizen has the right to know that info.
Have these agents ever tried to take things further with an arrest or detaining you for long periods of time? and if they did who would you call? I wish I knew what you do when I was stopped by these people
CheckpointUSA...Only one thing, I bet if you were attacked by some ilegal aliens trying to steal you car with rocks on hand and beating the hell out of you and anyone who's with you at the time. You woldn't mind if the Border Patrol is around.
Don't be jerk trying to abuse your rights and looking to get someone in trouble or trying to make your OWN government look bad.
Instead, try to use that time to do something more productive.
Oh really? Why don't you reference the statute that states BP agents are authorized to stop a vehicle inside the country away from the border absent reasonable suspicion or probable cause to believe the vehicle is carrying illegal aliens. Then reconcile it with the BOR.
I've already referenced these agent's field manual and several court cases that say otherwise.
BTW, we live in a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy which means voting has nothing to do with maintaining individual rights.
@kevinz1985 -- There isn't anything unconstitutional about being stopped. It's what takes place after the stop that may get into the constitutionality of the situation. Nobody watching this can say what radio communicaions the agent had with his dispatch that may have led to this traffic stiop except for the agent hmself.
You're kind of clueless aren't you LARCARFUMAN01? SCOTUS has ruled BP agents need reasonable suspicion to initiate a traffic stop inside the country. In the absence of reasonable suspicion, an agent is committing a crime. If the agent in this video had reasonable suspicion he wouldn't have just left the scene:
"The 4th Amendment therefore forbids stopping persons for questioning about their citizenship on less than a reasonable suspicion that they may be aliens.” - U.S. v Brignoni-Ponce
Acting under homeland security laws BP agents do not need a reason to stop vehicles, provided that stop is to check for illegal aliens. ;) Check up on your laws.
I'm obviously more up on my laws then you are jrbigelow. Here's a quote from the 2007 CBP Field Manual:
"INS officers on roving patrol may stop a vehicle only if aware of specific articulable facts, together with rational inferences from those facts, that reasonably warrant suspicion (reasonable suspicion) that the vehicle contains illegal aliens. Absent consent, a more in-depth search requires probable cause for both types of inland traffic-checking operations."
"Our prior cases have limited significantly the reach of this congressional authorization, requiring probable cause for any vehicle search in the interior and reasonable suspicion for inquiry stops by roving patrols. Our holding today, approving routine stops for brief questioning is confined to permanent checkpoints. We understand, of course, that neither longstanding congressional authorization nor widely prevailing practice justifies a constitutional violation"
wow that was the wackest video ever, he should have dragged you out of the car for rolling your window up on him you are just one of those people that have nothing better to do than cry, obviously you were just driving around waiting for something like that to happen by having a video camera on your lap, thats sad
Another arrogant authoritarian punk with fantasies of violence opens his mouth and spews forth nonsense.
The agent didn't drag me out of my car because he knew that he violated the law by pulling me over without reasonable suspicion. Upon seeing my video camera and hearing my name, he realized I knew it too and decided upon the better part of valor.
Any other action on his part would have made things much worse for him in the long run than it would have been for me in the short term.
Next time they try and stop you and you didn't commit any violations on boarder patrol Property, Don't stop keep going, but make sure it's them and not your local police dept, and drive to the nearest police dept parking lot
11xr1east, lol "border patrol property"?!? yeah that's a good one... and i like the advise by the way! go ahead and FTY from the Border Patrol to the local PD station, that should be fun.
11xr1east that may be the case, but thats why it would be better to pull over instead of running and opening yourself up for a number of other charges they didnt have before. Also how do you know that they have nothing one you? they maybe stopping you because your vehicle matches a description of a BOLO they got earlier. There maybe a number of things that you're not aware of that give them RS to stop you and if you run you're just screwing yourself over even more.
11xr1east: Can you do that? I mean.... the officer never told you to stop, but there is a stop sign. So after I stop can I leave since no one said for me to stop? Maybe Burt Reynolds in a trans-am would do it. But, I am not a movie star.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
If it was without cause then why did you stop. I know why, Border Patrol, State Police, County Sheriff, Local Police then Jail. Thank you for your cooperation.
Donwest420, (judging by your name, i can see why you don't like the cops) ...anyway, woman in this video ( watch?v=SGaWDL7ofLQ ) also tried to show the "dirty fucking nazi SS gestapo" that she knew her rights. Make sure you actually know why you're getting pulled over, before you start acting like a jack ass. For your own safety and to avoid incidents like this - Comply first, complain later....
I wonder.. Do you stop to think that maybe that interior checkpoint was put in that specific place for a reason. Maybe it is a heavily trafficked smuggling (humans and narcotics) route. I often think after watching these videos that you give no thought before spouting off. Yes you are very good at Googling former President's quotes. But the law you constantly refer to does in fact grant the authority for a checkpoint. Requiring NO suspicion with regards to simple questions of citizenship.
Did you stop to think that maybe if the Border Patrol actually patrolled the border, there wouldn't be any heavily trafficked smuggling routes near the border - other than from the agents themselves of course?
Also, did you stop to think that this wasn't a checkpoint stop but a roving patrol stop where agents need reasonable suspicion of which this agent had none?
How do you know the officer had no reason to pull this guy over?...you are taking his word for it?...how do you know this guy is telling the truth?. I'm not saying he's telling lies but you don't know if he's telling the truth..do you?..don't let your dislike for the BP to get in the way of being objective. You weren't there and the video was edited big time.
"How do I know the officer had no reason to pull this guy over"
Because I was the guy pulled over fatpig2.
Agents/cops don't walk away after pulling someone over without hardly saying a word unless they have no good reason to pull you over in the first place.
I do work in law enforcement, and I am not a paranoid person. So a little bias to the "man" may cloud my judgment. But I do not expect anyone to lick anything. In order for our society to remain free of terrorism and illegal aliens, we should tolerate a little intrusion.
Absent individualized probable cause, the appropriate place to guard against illegal aliens and terrorists entering the country is the border where there's no question as to who is entering illegally and who isn't. Not public highways well away from the border and never intersect the border at any point.
How about this, they do nothing and allow american jobs to keep disappearing to the likes of illegal aliens. I would find such a stop reassuring that my tax dollars are being spent in part on securing the nation. Or again, we can continue to be invaded and moving toward a largely illegal work force.

Doesn't matter what time of day or night it is regarding traveling along a public highway. Agents need reasonable suspicion to initiate a traffic stop. If the agent had reasonable suspicion here, he wouldn't have turned around & walked away when confronted.

using that a person shouldn't be in an area,is to say-free travel only applies at home.
true,a gov't agent can do their job to keep law.
if a state had it their way,the whole road would be closed at night and all traffic would be stopped plus all people would show id at other times.

Cataclysm135 1 year ago
One of the best ways to "subdue the situation" created by a "law enforcement official" who has overstepped his lawful authority is to demand his name while filming him Cataclysm135. Demanding his name reminds him of who he ultimately answers to while making it clear the easy mark he thought he had may not be so easy after all. Filming him lets him know his words & deeds can be used against him in a court of law if necessary.

Absolutely you shouldn't have to answer their questions, but that part just seems petty to me.

I think the confusion comes from Border Patrol agents not actually patrolling the border or its functional equivalent but instead harassing domestic traffic inside the country absent reasonable suspicion or probable cause goarmymp.

@YamsRyu You should pay closer attention. I didn't cut any video. I muted the audio in one section because my personal information was being broadcast over the agent's radio.
Additionally, it wasn't a cop who stopped me. It was a federal Border Patrol agent who only has authority to initiate a traffic stop if he has reasonable suspicion to believe the vehicle contains illegal aliens.
If he had such a belief, it wouldn't have mattered who I was & he wouldn't have just walked away.

@CheckpointUSA any LEO making a traffic stop has the right to demand Name, DOB and address. Just ask the supreme court. Does not matter what the stop was for. It's called checking for warrants.
goarmymp 1 year ago
I have asked the Supreme Court goarmymp and this is what they said:
"Border Patrol agents have no part in enforcing laws that regulate highway use, and their activities have nothing to do with an inquiry whether motorists and their vehicles are entitled, by virtue of compliance with laws governing highway usage, to be upon the public highways. - U.S. V Brignoni-Ponce
BP agents have very limited powers centered around immigration. Inside the country they cannot compel the production of an ID.
CheckpointUSA 1 year ago
Additionally, SCOTUS has said the following regarding BP roving patrol stops goarmymp:
"...an officer, whose observations lead him reasonably to suspect that a particular vehicle may contain aliens who are illegally in the country, may stop the car briefly, question the driver & passengers about their citizenship & immigration status, & ask them to explain suspicious circumstances; but any further detention or search must be based on consent or probable cause. - U.S. v Brignoni-Ponce
CheckpointUSA 1 year ago
Finally, even for regular law enforcement officers, an officer must have reasonable suspicion to initiate a roving patrol traffic stop goarmymp. In the absence of reasonable suspicion, a roving patrol stop is illegal.
Even at checkpoints, a warrants check represents a general law enforcement concern. SCOTUS has ruled general law enforcement checkpoints to be illegal in Indianapolis v Edmond.
You'd think an MP who also serves as a sheriff's deputy would have a better grasp on the law...

Never have a challenging attitude when an Officer approaches your vehicle. He may have been stopping you to let you know you had a tire going flat. Take it easy! Things would have gotten ugly between us simply because you felt the need to over react. your lucky the Agent didnt take your actions as a sign of hostility and fear. I would have investigated further to find out why you were acting this way. I can see already that you would have most likely got to "ride the lightning".

They're about suspicionless immigration checkpoints and roving patrol stops by federal Border Patrol agents who have far more limited authority with regards to when they can initiate a traffic stop and what they can do during one.

@5trapper Signs of hostility and fear toward law enforcement do not equate to probable cause or even reasonable suspicion that a crime is being or was committed. What would he "ride the lightning" for? Not liking you? Also, I'm not sure what level of education law enforcement are required to possess, but "you are" is abbreviated as "you're", not "your". We typically learn the difference in 5th grade. Dumbass.

That is ridiculous, how do you know that the agent didn't have any suspicion at all??? More than likely you did something that caught his attention. Besides that, how come you can just simply cooperate and answer any question he could have made? Did you have something to hide? By being aggresive about it you are developing more suspicion. A reasonable citizen will cooperate, which you didn't do. Stop your attitude because is going to bring you nothing but trouble.

@ugascam I'm not sure what video you watched but in the one I posted, the agent had no reasonable suspicion to believe I was in the country illegally. According to U.S. V Brignoni-Ponce, reasonable suspicion is the minimum level required to initiate a roving patrol stop.
If he had reasonable suspicion, he wouldn't have turned tail & ran after seeing my video camera.
If less people weren't as afraid as you to exercise their rights, we wouldn't have so many abuses by government agents.

@ugascam umm, It's concerning that you would not atleast ask for a name and what the purpose of the stop was before the agent or officer spoke...what that tells me is that you are either guilty of whatever or you are submitting you rights as an INDIVIDUAL TRAVELING! get your head on straight.

Cops get mad when WE record them. They should be happy. Pretty soon. More people will stop recording and start making cops dissappear. It happened here in los angeles, CA where one cop got shot in front of his wife and kid. Soon every cop will be hunted for their corrupt acts. Its only a matter of time. I would much rather win in court. But others are getting tired of wasting time.
Tactikalguy1 2 years ago
Thats right. The agent probably went through all of the background checks and tests just in the hope of one day randomnly stopping somoneone up to nothing. And for that privelege? risk of getting hurt. Everyday. Whats not to like? I bet he gets up every morning hoping to harass innnocent people. No thought of sacrificing for the common good. I say we give ALL the rights to the bad guys with the guns. No harassment there. Just the law of the jungle. Thats what you want of course....right?

What part of the video did you sleep through BrianGraham?
I didn't stop & seize a Border Patrol agent absent suspicion along a public highway in the middle of the night absent suspicion along a curvy highway with no lights and no developed shoulders. The Border Patrol did that to me which means they weren't doing their job, they were abusing their authority.
This video documents that fact and shows others how to protect their rights under such circumstances.

U said it urself u redneck "While driving to a remote work site late in the evening " whats more suspecious than that only having legs hanging out of your trunk. U are an Idiot. all u do is refer to a specific part of the law maybe u should read the Immigration and Naturalization Act and then run ur mouth. Instead of basing ur arguement on other than "suspesionless"
momo671 2 years ago
Thanks for the good laugh momo671. Before calling someone else an idiot, you may want to learn how to spell first.
While you're learning to spell, perhaps you could point us to the case law that states driving along a public highway at night represents reasonable suspicion for a BP traffic stop.
Regarding the Immigration & Naturalization Act, I have read it. What you obviously haven't read is U.S. v Brignoni-Ponce where SCOTUS ruled roving patrol traffic stops require reasonable suspicion

It's amazing how many ignorant, violent authoritarian punks like yourself are out there specialtysolutions.
This is America, not some 3rd world tin pot dictatorship. In this country, enforcement agents require reasonable suspicion to initiate traffic stops. So says SCOTUS:
...The 4th Amendment therefore forbids stopping persons for questioning about their citizenship on less than a reasonable suspicion that they may be aliens. - U.S. v Brignoni-Ponce

For those who haven't seen it yet, officers with the AZ Department of Public Safety and agents with the U.S. Border Patrol brutalized an unarmed non-violent traveler at a BP checkpoint 70 miles East of Yuma last week.
Do a YouTube search on Steven Anderson to see Mr. Anderson's account of the ordeal.

you also refused to follow ANY of his instructions.
and how do you know it was without cause? most of the time someone gets caught speeding they didnt even know it. therefore when they get pulled over they think it is without cause.

The only thing this agent did wrong was follow through with the vehicle stop. His emergency lights were turned on, why the hell didn't you stop immediately? I wish they would have deflated your tires. Also, you love to smear the agent's names, but cower when your registration information is recorded. You should post your personal information so that criminals can send you a fat stack of dollar bills as a sign of their gratitude. Looking forward to 2009. Keep it up.

its not illegal traffic stops. they have the legal authority to do that.
and it is illegal for you to refuse to follow the instructions of an officer bud.
damatt08 2 years ago
You're really making quite a fool of yourself damatt08. The U.S. Supreme Court has made amply clear a roving patrol needs reasonable suspicion to initiate a traffic stop. This agent had none evidenced by him just leaving after stopping me:
"Our prior cases have limited significantly the reach of this congressional authorization, requiring probable cause for any vehicle search in the interior and reasonable suspicion for inquiry stops by roving patrols..." - U.S v Martinez-Fuerte

Oh really? Why don't you reference the specific law or court case that authorizes a roving patrol to pull someone over absent reasonable suspicion.
This should be good....
CheckpointUSA 2 years ago
Maratines let me explain something to you.
First off, Checkpoint is a PRIVATE US citizen, therefore he doesn't have to list his name or information to you, in fact it is best he doesn't.
The BP agent is a PUBLIC Official, meaning his name and identification are public record and therefore every US citizen has the right to know that info.

Oh really? Why don't you reference the statute that states BP agents are authorized to stop a vehicle inside the country away from the border absent reasonable suspicion or probable cause to believe the vehicle is carrying illegal aliens. Then reconcile it with the BOR.
I've already referenced these agent's field manual and several court cases that say otherwise.
BTW, we live in a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy which means voting has nothing to do with maintaining individual rights.

@kevinz1985 -- There isn't anything unconstitutional about being stopped. It's what takes place after the stop that may get into the constitutionality of the situation. Nobody watching this can say what radio communicaions the agent had with his dispatch that may have led to this traffic stiop except for the agent hmself.
LARCARFUMAN01 1 year ago
You're kind of clueless aren't you LARCARFUMAN01? SCOTUS has ruled BP agents need reasonable suspicion to initiate a traffic stop inside the country. In the absence of reasonable suspicion, an agent is committing a crime. If the agent in this video had reasonable suspicion he wouldn't have just left the scene:
"The 4th Amendment therefore forbids stopping persons for questioning about their citizenship on less than a reasonable suspicion that they may be aliens.” - U.S. v Brignoni-Ponce

Acting under homeland security laws BP agents do not need a reason to stop vehicles, provided that stop is to check for illegal aliens. ;) Check up on your laws.
jrbigelow 3 years ago
I'm obviously more up on my laws then you are jrbigelow. Here's a quote from the 2007 CBP Field Manual:
"INS officers on roving patrol may stop a vehicle only if aware of specific articulable facts, together with rational inferences from those facts, that reasonably warrant suspicion (reasonable suspicion) that the vehicle contains illegal aliens. Absent consent, a more in-depth search requires probable cause for both types of inland traffic-checking operations."
CheckpointUSA 3 years ago
Here's a SCOTUS quote as well:
"Our prior cases have limited significantly the reach of this congressional authorization, requiring probable cause for any vehicle search in the interior and reasonable suspicion for inquiry stops by roving patrols. Our holding today, approving routine stops for brief questioning is confined to permanent checkpoints. We understand, of course, that neither longstanding congressional authorization nor widely prevailing practice justifies a constitutional violation"

aodblaze 3 years ago
Another arrogant authoritarian punk with fantasies of violence opens his mouth and spews forth nonsense.
The agent didn't drag me out of my car because he knew that he violated the law by pulling me over without reasonable suspicion. Upon seeing my video camera and hearing my name, he realized I knew it too and decided upon the better part of valor.
Any other action on his part would have made things much worse for him in the long run than it would have been for me in the short term.

11xr1east 3 years ago
11xr1east that may be the case, but thats why it would be better to pull over instead of running and opening yourself up for a number of other charges they didnt have before. Also how do you know that they have nothing one you? they maybe stopping you because your vehicle matches a description of a BOLO they got earlier. There maybe a number of things that you're not aware of that give them RS to stop you and if you run you're just screwing yourself over even more.
somement 3 years ago
11xr1east: Can you do that? I mean.... the officer never told you to stop, but there is a stop sign. So after I stop can I leave since no one said for me to stop? Maybe Burt Reynolds in a trans-am would do it. But, I am not a movie star.

I wonder.. Do you stop to think that maybe that interior checkpoint was put in that specific place for a reason. Maybe it is a heavily trafficked smuggling (humans and narcotics) route. I often think after watching these videos that you give no thought before spouting off. Yes you are very good at Googling former President's quotes. But the law you constantly refer to does in fact grant the authority for a checkpoint. Requiring NO suspicion with regards to simple questions of citizenship.
UN1MPEDED 3 years ago
Did you stop to think that maybe if the Border Patrol actually patrolled the border, there wouldn't be any heavily trafficked smuggling routes near the border - other than from the agents themselves of course?
Also, did you stop to think that this wasn't a checkpoint stop but a roving patrol stop where agents need reasonable suspicion of which this agent had none?

ke3wh 3 years ago
Absent individualized probable cause, the appropriate place to guard against illegal aliens and terrorists entering the country is the border where there's no question as to who is entering illegally and who isn't. Not public highways well away from the border and never intersect the border at any point.
