More Border Patrol Harassment at Internal Immigration Checkpoints
Written by Subject: ImmigrationThe checkpoint depicted in the video above is the interim checkpoint located near kilometer post 45 on I-19 in Southern Arizona and championed by Congressional Representative Gabrielle Giffords in Arizona's 8th District. Like so many other Border Patrol checkpoint encounters, the video above documents harassment of the traveling public by agents who take advantage of their limited authority in an attempt to intimidate individuals into waiving their fundamental rights.

Constance,
I would like to come over to your house and have a look around. You never know, you might have some weapons you are not aware of. It's for you own safety. And, since you have nothing to hide, I'm sure you won't mind.

Chip, you are correct. RP4512
Norman and Constance,
Do you really think it is possible to challenge the gov't without being rude? Freedom is almost never recaptured without the use of a gun. If in trying to keep our freedom, some people have to get a little mouthy and offensive, well that's a hell of a lot better than the alternative.
Whoever this jerk was that filmed the self made confrontation was looking for trouble. The white haired USBP agent was more polite and professional than I would have been if I were in his position in dealing with this jerk!
The mouth with the camera brought all this upon himself. It sure looks like a set up to me, but not by the Border Patrol. It's nothing to be asked if they can look in the trunk, but mouth had to say no in order to have something to film and make public. He should have been arrested for interfering with an officer who is doing his best to do his duty to protect America.
the conditioning process of "papers please" continues- It is interesting how the brown shirted storm troopers of the 1930's have been replaced by the green shirted hack booted thugs masquerading as law enforcement
Checkpoints kick @ss.
Yours Truly, Joe Arpaio
Kill 'em with film.
