Testing the TSA policy on photographing checkpoints at Miami International Airport

[VerifyHistory]

You guys are CHAMPIONS! Brave and sure! Thank you so much for making the video.

[TheGrayman1234]

When they say you are not being detained, that means that they are attempting to make a "contact"; turn around and walk away!!!!!!!!

[abnerely]

WOW in Miami at all places cops 'seemed' more reasonable than any other i seen on the tube. Maybe cause they are a bunch of lawers everywhere here asking to file a lawsuit in your behave on the radio.

[dannydanny69]

we need to know our rights , good job people !!!! thanks for the school people !

[hiian123]

that first officer was very rational and polite

[jr94952002]

What a great country... Note that these guys did not insult the officers and did try to compare them to Nazis and didn't disrespect the officers... Nice job...

[marmite400]

Most security work can be obtained simply by leaving school.......

[JanRichardus]

OBEDIENCE IS OUR PROBLEM! (not civil disobedience).

[ROFLMAoo12]

How do the TSA employers-- even the cops-- not know their own policies when it comes to video camera? Encounters like the one shown on that video can escalate into something worst when morons are equip with badges, guns, big egos.

[asuwish0000]

hahaha the camera guy and his buddy are such tools. Thanks for showing how to breach the system from the time I enter to the checkpoint - your buddy Ahmed

[Deadnsd]

LMFAO!! THAT CUNT CAN BARELY SPEAK ENGLISH... LET ALONE KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE LAWS THAT SHES TO ENFORCE..WHAT A BUNCH OF RABID CLOWNS....

GOOD JOB GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tbwest]

TSA__TO SCRUTINIZE AMERICANS!

[nebulae10]

ITS HIS FIRST DAY

[todddguillory]

Great job Men. tks.

[zorayaisready]

THAT WOMAN IS A BIG MORON AND HER PARNER IS A JERK

[SKYHEADING86]

You guys are idiots

[intrusosgang]

The first cop was respectful.

[anoni81b4u]

What a bunch of dumb fuckers ... where do they get these cops ?

[Bobster986]

I'm sure that policy is not on their website anymore!

[Eslamizar]

I am surprised that the cops actually admitted to their fault. That takes a lot of balls lol.

[jon1151]

nice job dudes!

[stigmajosh]

These two dee duh dees need to find something better to do.

[nintendo007]

knowledge's power

[TheProperAuthority]

You guys are pussies. Am I under arrest? Am I being detained? Am I free to go? No? Well, fuck off!!! That's how you talk to pigs in the airport.

[baraclude]

Nice you know your rights. But you need to know that the law enforcers can go beyond what the law states. You guys are lucky you didn't get beat down and detained. I guess these cops were pretty polite, if you are in NYC, i bet you will be treated differently.

[TheMdc78]

@baraclude that fact is NOT ok, nor is it legal or constitutional

[snarlingrabiddog5150]

Its astounding that the POLICE OFFICERS sworn to uphold the laws, didn't even know the laws they are sworn to uphold. Do they have to call a supervisor to tie their shoes??? This bunch of airport cops should all be suspended until they learn why they are there. Wow.

[TheMdc78]

@snarlingrabiddog5150 It can be hard for cops to know the laws, I had a room mate i needed to kick out and when i called the police they told me as far as they knew I couldn't kick her out, but that they didn't know for sure, that the tenancy act was in the car if I wanted it. The next day I found out from my landlord that it was no problem and i could kick her right out. But I understand the cops issue, there are thousands and thousands of laws, impossible to know them all

[AGreenWhiteRedA]

That Chilis back there has really good cheese fries!

[MrManboobie]

I find it amassing the police are ok with Street cameras on private citizens, but they themselves are just like us in NOT wanting to be filmed.

[smitty195]

@twin1010101010 Who is Kardashian? Don't forget your tinfoil hat.

[smitty195]

@twin1010101010 Hello fellow retard/sheep--Like I said, get a life. Go see a shrink for your problems!

[smitty195]

You say you're "the press" but you won't show credentials? BULLSHIT!

[smitty195]

You fucking whiners. Get a life and stop playing bully with your cameras. Geezus H. Christ.

[saadasim]

The TSA can scan, molest and irradiate you but you can't take a picture of them doing their job?!! This world is so crazy!

[LazyNightz]

So it's okay for them to rape and grope us?? But it's not okay for us to record them groping and raping everyone??? Hmm Fuck them I will record what the fuck I want so arrest me bitches.. Will sue them if they did for wrongfully arresting me and sue them for all there money..

[vtorres625]

This video is ridiculous. Yea it is not prohibited to record checkpoint but the reason it is highly frowned upon and the reason why several Law Enforcement Officers and TSA officers did not want you recording is because they don't want terrorist to know their procedures. The fact that you want to challenge that is absurd. The whole purpose of the TSA is to prevent explosives and weapons to enter the plane so another 9/11 could be avoided. These people are trying to keep us safe and yet many Ame

[saadasim]

@vtorres625 No explosives or weapons were used in the 9/11 attack (except for the explosives hidden in the buildings). You don't think the terrorist knows their procedures? They knew it well enough to prevent and confuse USAF fighter pilots during 9/11 (Look up Pilots for 9/11 Truth). They knew it well enough to steal weaponized Anthrax from US Army Labs. Yes, the "terrorists" know our procedures quite well.

[lochinvar00465]

These "checkpoints" are so reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

[boyo5]

Those given the privilege of keeping us safe must never forget the limits of their power. Your video reminded them of this.

Excellent video! You did your homework, kept your cool, and weren’t intimidated.

Our government serves us. We don’t serve our government.

[kcrone1]

Doushe bags!

[kcrone1]

You guys may not be breaking the law, but your just assholes!

[truthshallsety0ufree]

@kcrone1 assholes? these guys are fighting for our liberties and standing up to the police state that you willingly are accepting. chill out and read a book

[Jaffsickle]

@kcrone1 you do realize 9/11 was an inside banker operation and falling prey to these TSA patdowns is just what our founding fathers would cry over. Wake up please :( rememberbuilding7org

[shpidoinkle]

By recording the security processes you are suspect. What proof do you have that you are NOT an operative gathering intelligence? 

[akaknocksville]

I WOULD TAKE IT THAT AIRPORT IS PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHT ? COULDN`T THEY OF JUST ASKED YOU TO LEAVE ??

[cshawn07]

I love you guys, Your awesome. WELL DONE SIRS:-))))

[gonzomatt1]

So... the TSA cops don't know some rules, and you guys are just choosing to blow a day on being asses. I side with the cops by default on this. Especially considering their organization has had a much shorter time to become acclimated to post 9/11 life... whereas you guys have had significantly more time to learn to be decent.

[jessyrules1000]

hahahaha those cops got owned super hardcore

[Mindcrime121]

When the laws have become so convoluted and confusing that those charged with enforcing them can't even keep track, it's well past time to stop writing thousands of new laws per year in Congress, and start deleting the ones that are unconstitutional, and simplifying the ones that are justifiable within the boundaries of the Constitution.

[ohannahdad]

@Mindcrime121 Sending cops out to TSA checkpoints without educating them about the law is like hiring a blind man to drive a bus. The fact that these offficers were polite is refreshing only because this is not the norm. Usually they are over bearing control freaks that won't call for clarification when challenged. Instead they take you in custody and release you within 1-2 hours. Video cameras and people defending their rights is most annoying to these bullies with a badge. GREAT VIDEO!!

[Mindcrime121]

@ohannahdad I agree with you completely, but my original point is that it would be near IMPOSSIBLE to educate these TSA "cops" on the law, just as with the overwhelming majority of federal and local agents and officers of all the other agencies, because there are too many laws, and they are too poorly written for anyone without a law degree to comprehend the basics of, or notice the constitutional violations inherent to them, much less remember them all as needed.

[GUALLACOL]

Great video!!! Perfect way to educate cops. The first cop didn't got the memo, neigther the rest of the cops. That tells me how much training they need or the wasted their time in the police academy.

[rrhynes]

@GUALLACOL The leaders in law enforcement cannot guarantee their minions immunity if they advise them of the currrent laws. Almost all LEO agencies selectively discuss these matters so their thugs can roam the streets as ignorant enforcers of non-laws.

[GUALLACOL]

@rrhynes Amen!

[OurGamehenge]

Thank you brothers! Fantastic!

[bigcrabrob]

We know from history that all great nations are conquered from without, that Governments tend to love their people and keep them safe, if only the peoples of past great nations would have given more to the collective, to their governments, they would have prevailed :)  Ofcourse any sensible reader would know that what I wrote above is absolutely absurd, and as untruthful a statement as was ever said. Suffering, the greatest suffering comes from Government throughout history. History repeating.

[bigcrabrob]

All the while they sneer at those who dare question the government, the all mighty and all knowing Kings of America.  We need after all to be ruled over and protected, we are unable to have independent thought, critical thinking is of no use against the enemies from the mountains and deserts of the world, or against a simple mugger or thug on the streets. We have officiates who we employ for our protection, we are afterall above violence, we are civilized. No need for guns or rights, were safe

[bigcrabrob]

The truth is the American way of life was the greatest, but what we have today is not American, it is simply a lost and ignorant, arrogant way. We are the MOST commercial, MOST overweight, MOST millitarily involved, MOST ill educated, MOST despised nation among the developed world. What was a strong nation of independant free thinking men and women who limited their government has evolved into a corporate owned schill nation with uneducated defuncts who support the 'establishment' with fervor

[bigcrabrob]

Oh, but they will be safe you say, insulated from the evil doers. The government knows what's best for you and your family, you will just pay higher taxes in the name of patriotism, support as much killing as is neccessary for the elimination of all those who will not bend to the system that America wishes to install world wide; afterall you will have given your freedom to 'democracy', why should foreign people give any less. The American way of life is, afterall, the greatest.

[bigcrabrob]

We are free to take risk's, free to smoke, free to drink, free to keep and bare arms, free to operate a motor vehicle, free to skydive, free to do as we see fit and assume the risks for the actions we take. Every man, woman, and child on this planet is going to die... but how many will live free? VERY VERY FEW. As America sinks into apathy and ignorance, trusting whatever the government may tell the people, there is less and less chance that our children will ever experience freedom.

[bigcrabrob]

I am all for security, security that is effective and not invasive. Isreal, Russia, Switzerland all have better systems by far and they dont have VIPR teams running their streets, fat lame men feeling other men's testicles, ugly hatefull women groping other ladies and telling them that they will submit or they won't fly. WE HAVE IT WRONG HERE IN THE STATES! Can we save every swimmer who is grabbed by the current, every cancer patient, every driver who commutes to work? No, because we are free

[bigcrabrob]

Men, will you watch them pat down and squeeze your wifes breast's at the shopping mall, do you care so much for gaurdianship that your daughters will be molested for your supposed 'safety'. How far are you willing to let it go before you admit that this governmnet is seizing your liberty in the name of safety? 1 attack in 10 years, TSA has not prevented or detected even one incident..... I did not say they have not prevented, I said they have not even DETECTED or prevented even 1 event.

[bigcrabrob]

'Don't like it, don't fly' you say now, what happens when their on every bus, every train car, on the streets, in your grocery, the mall, the schools? What will be your advice once they are every where, dont live? How practicle that it fits your uninformed view for now and will strangle you when it is too late. Will you let them rifle through your daughter's or son's underware day after day? Will you let them fondle your breasts on the interstate during an inspection? You defend it now....

[bigcrabrob]

What will happen when the TSA VIPR Team's hit your streets? When they hit your schools? When they patrol your favorite shopping mall? When they are given greater powers that allow entry into homes based on suspicion that arrises from dealing with one of the genius agents like the ones seen above. If you won't bend to their will and allow for their ignorance of the law then you will create suspicion by your own will to obey the real law, the written law. Life will be hard for the informed.

[me4areazon]

@irag34 its my duty to protect myself,my family,and my community government servants have no liability to my personal safety in other words if I call the police and I'm dead when they arrive the police are in no way accountable I don't need tsa checkpoints now on the highway in Tennessee or fast and furious goons serving me why don't u go after the real threats like Wachovia laundering 370 billion in drug money at the same time financing the private prisons or Eric holder

[mkeywork]

tsa are fuckin assholes plain and simple

[futboleroR10]

Why would you even listen to these pigs. You didn't even have to do what they said. They can not detain you without for nothing. I don't know why you didn't demand a reason for being detained.

[irnayger]

how can you be a police officer without knowing these rules/laws?

[hornerm5]

Police not giving out ID while not suspected of committing a crime? Why the police bugging the photographer?

[irag34]

Actually because the airline industry is a protected industry there a signs posted at the airport entrance in MIA that states any person is subject to search on airport grounds. The lieutenant gave them, the officers the wrong info. All you claiming these are my rights. Know ur rights before you start thinking they are being broken. And all the people talking crap about TSA. What did TSA do wrong? Eventhough you are mostly morons, I'll still serve and protect.

[bumcheek7]

They had to eat shit. That was special. Knocking down the power hungry wannabe Nazi's - one saggy titty bitch cop and one smug asshole cop at a time.

[libertariandeist]

Love that the dumb bitch had to choke on her pride and return to give permission.

[SpeakingMyMind7]

these cops are fucking morons...

shouldn't cops at least know some of the basic laws in order to become a cop?

[vonkruel]

These TSA shits don't seem know a lot about what they're allowed to do or what the public is allowed to do. I wonder if they're only given general instructions to make flying as shitty and degrading as it can be without anal penetration.

[bajajoes1]

A law enforcement is ONLY truly "Professional" when their emotions do not become involved. An Emotional response will only hurt not help.

[AgentGhost]

I hate the TSA but I would be very annoyed to be filmed by some random nobody while going through airport security. Wish the cops would take these people into another room and show them some flashlight therapy.

[vonkruel]

@AgentGhost don't go out in public or your image could be recorded without your permission. stay inside where it's safe.

[whoarentyou]

Pvt Gomer Pyle? 

[hzzn]

I am of the belief that they went easy on you because they thought you were with the press. For all they knew you could be covering a story for 60 minutes. How would it look if they had really arrested you at that moment, and then ended up on television the following week with Leslie Stall doing a story on your experience? Next time go to the airport and use your iphone to start recording. I'd be willing to bet anything they would be alot more agressive with you. Anyway, good job!

[TobyAMcElroy]

Thanks for posting this video - I consider this a perfect example of how this situation should be handled. The officials didn't get personally offended at you, and you guys handled yourself in a respectful and polite manner. With the exception of the officer at 6:00, everyone came away with a better understanding of how things work.

[Pfsif]

That security guy seems human, he'll probably be fired!

[captcrackhead]

Lets all post videos on youtube letting terrorists what they can get away with at security checkpoints in order to help them beat the system

[bigcrabrob]

@captcrackhead Right, because god knows that a terrorist's only means of hurting the 'Great Satan' is at airports.... GROW UP! They (terrorists) can walk into a shopping mall and KABOOM! Your another scared and blind government fed sheeple who does not think for themself. Terrorists were of no concern prior to 9/11 but now they are EVERYWHERE... little mountain men that hate our freedom and wealth are swimming accross the oceans of the world in search of airports with weak security!

[bigcrabrob]

@captcrackhead Do you realize that the sponsor of the bill for creating the TSA says that the TSA needs to be dismantled? They have failed to detect or prevent any occurence or attemted occurence of terrorism in the ten years they have WASTED OUR MONEY AND ENFORCED UNSUPPORTED LAWS THAT STEAL OUR PRECIOUS FREEDOM!!! These are trained monkeys with ego and a power trip, they should be rounded up and dropped at a care house for the mentally retarded.

[bigcrabrob]

@captcrackhead And we all know that the sophisticated terrorists from the 3rd world countries scour youtube for information like whether or not they can film at TSA checkpoints. That is their major concern afterall, thinking of ways to sneak past the molestation agents who keep us sleeping soundly at night. The government can not protect you all the time nor is it their responsibility. There are nations around the world that suffer from terror attacks daily, and they laugh at our TSA.

[bigcrabrob]

@captcrackhead Bomb Sniffing Dogs. That one security measure alone could replace the TSA with a 100% increase in actuall detection of a device. Securing our borders woud elliminate not knowing who in the HELL just walks in to this country on a daily basis or what their intent is. Allow the airlines to provide their own private security measures, afterall the government is the least efficient body for any structured action seperate of the military. Armed security on flights, plainclothes, CC.

[MsPollywogg]

good point made at the end ..oddly enough,. those agents and "officers" often do not know what the rights of the people are ... this was a good lesson for them to learn

[FLASH1080wxjc]

Well Done!

[420991]

dont you have anything better to do than to antagonise the police?

[MsPollywogg]

@420991 it's more like checks and balances

[captcrackhead]

@420991 agreed so much of this shit is 100% bs like the officer at 6:00...some people just dont like to be filmed but when its an officer ppl just blow it out of proportion.

[djroselli6310]

way to go 

[Turnback]

How can you be law enforcement officer, working an airport, and NOT know when a law is being broken or not broken? The fact they had to go their superior for "clarification" is at best unsettling. It means they essentially have the power to unlawfully detain you or me for reasons even they do not understand. What a sad, paranoid, society we've devolved into.

[mdcjr10]

I reported you to YouTube security for lying to the police people like you are the reason tsar is so slow

[Tubetheweb]

@MagicCityMedia Good on you for standing up for yourself when confronted by officers. Glad to see people still stand up for their rights and civil liberties. God Bless.

[Stalicone]

The first Police Officer should be used to train other officers on how to respect 1st and 4th Amendment rights! Good Job officer! You have my total respect!

[rainbo5250]

Don't they realize that 70-80% of the people no longer believe the official 9-11 explanation? People believe it was an INSIDE job.

The very people who have made all these illegal and unconstitutional laws against the citizens of the United States,....are the very ones suspected of doing the great evil act of 9-11.

People are clearly FED UP with having their rights abused.

Americans have lost faith,....and believe this evil inside group is capable of furter treasonous & deceptive acts.

[lunaticasai]

So now some of you idiots learn that we DO have rights and we can exercise them, we really don't have to take this shit from our puppet masters, but ofcourse some of you flag weilding crew cut wearing sheeple would rather just comply and be uniformed with the masses. I TIP MY HAT TO THESE GUYS FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO, AND I WILL SHOW IT AT EACH AND EVERY PERSON I EVER MEET. (P.S. any reply of negativity will be deleted without even being read)

[arkivx1]

A lot of police are power hungry ass holes like the lady @ 2:17 .

[speedy55c]

i don't know why you want to piss off cops

[irshchuculain]

@speedy55c This is not about pissing off anyone. This is about asserting ones rights and guess what? It worked.

Grow a backbone and quit following the other lemmings into the NWO camps.

[speedy55c]

@irshchuculain no there is no reason to not show I.D, i know how your rights work and you have the right not to. its just when some one working under law enforcement asks its just being respectful to them but thanks for calling me a rodent really appreciate it haha

[watch2112]

@speedy55c If I approach you and ask for your I.D., would you show it to me in order to be respectful towards me? If your answer to that question is no, are you saying that the police deserve more consideration than other people? You know... people who understand the way that things are supposed to work might consider a police offer who attempts to force his will upon you due to his ignorance of the law to be someone who is less deserving of respect than a person who stands up for his rights.

[SmokeyCough]

@speedy55c Piss off cops by following the law? You're a fucking genius.

[gnomachine]

These guys are morons

[USfrontier]

I agree. This is what happens when DIRTBAGS want to be like Michael Moore and want attention. And this is why the line gets long cause TSA has to focus on morons like this. They have the freedom to photograph. Just like anyone has the freedom to go upto them and grab his camera and run off with it...then he can have the freedom to look for a cop and cry to them as to why the cops can't find the guy that just kicked his butt and jacked his camera. and they RESPECTFULL REFUSE. DOUSCHBAGS!!!

[ghostgate82]

@USfrontier Actually nobody has the right to take someones camera because it's private property. It's assholes like you that make this country so easily stolen.

[ABANICOSANYO]

Guys this is what happens when you're unemployed and bitter. These losers should go to Afghanistan and do some real journalism with our luck they won't make it back. Seriously, we're at war right now and you idiots are harassing cops and Tsa? Who's side are all of you on?

USMC

[ariel4085]

Proding the police is all Mr. Castillo is doing for 15 minutes of fame. Glad these officers didn't fall for it. it is a shame that Mr. Castillo is willing to show how far our freedoms let you push the evelope. this is un-American considering the threats to security at airports. look at what happned at the Moscow airport. Maybe authorities fialed to approached the bomber for fear that he would file complaints. Mr. Castillo is no patriot.

[ctg18158]

@ariel4085 They did fall for it.He proved that the officers need more training as all four officers did not seem to know the laws concerning the use of video and limitations on police authority.

[BroBroDude]

the second pair of officers are breaking the law by using force to detain him in that situation. they are functionally illiterate in the very thing (the law) that they charged with enforcing

in any other profession, this is grounds for termination

[MrEurgbp]

hahaha :) "pretty weird detainment"

[aqahawk]

Educate the cops already!

[thered702]

if people were to stop flying en masse, they would throw their tsa clowns to the wolves and their policies would be out the window. commercial flight is a 700billion dollar a year industry. a day or two without any flights, and the policies would be gone.

[thered702]

i just want to know why a cop would have to get clarification on id?

they should know this anyway.

[JunkieJay3000]

*Note to self* - NEVER book a holiday to the USA.. At least not until the TSA, Homeland Security, and it's police are trained to enforce the written laws of the land, and not those that are improvised.

[TopAce777]

Big Brother hates being filmed...........

[drherbalst]

Knowledge is power!

[biorgymd]

I LOVE YOU Carlos!!!! 

[UltimatePilot1]

Love your photo gear man!

[yandosan]

Drink the Kool Aid.

Follow the line.

You must comply.

[c4everandalways]

good job guys. this should be a sticky as to( how to) when it comes to videotaping airport security, remaining calm, and your rights, also I would like to say that the police in this vid did a great job at admitting being wrong with a apoligy, then correcting their statment to you, and wishing you a good day. overall a 10 out of 10

[ArrestAJudgeKit]

Great video. You know what you are talking about and you refuse to be intimidated!

[kthorn612]

The problem here is that in every instance the police or TSA are initially attempting to falsely state what a citizen is obligated to do or not do.

That is the injustice. That authorities look to exert power over you when they have none.

You have a swarm of cops that have to call into a supervisor to find out the legalities of a citizen showing ID.

I mean c'mon. You don't think an officer knows that as a basic part of their training and job? And if they don't...then they should be fired.

[majg12uk]

I'm really shocked at how few cops appear to know the laws on this matter. I don't think it should matter if you're press or not, officially or otherwise. I'm glad they were at least respectful as quite a few people in similar situations filming on public property have got jumped on, arrested, held in prison for several days and fined several hundred dollars on false charges. Search YT for "United States of America vs George Donnelly"

[trevticks]

Keep up the good work guys!

[butterflie2484]

You guys need to go across the country and do this at every airport and see what happens! Love it!

[NJTAmtrakGuy]

Good job standing up for your rights.

[georgedonnelly]

Great job guys! I am impressed. Keep it up.

[micidragan]

Beautiful citizen work at its best, thank you so much for this!

[jvorus]

@micidragan I could not agree more.
