A graduate studying criminal justice who had hoped to pursue a career in the Border Patrol, has abandoned the ambition after being stopped and physically harassed by Border Control agents for no reason.

Twenty-one-year-old Jess Cooke, who graduated from SUNY Canton this weekend with a law enforcement leadership degree, was shoved and tased by an agent after she refused to obey orders to move. Cooke captured the incident on video.

As revealed in the footage, Cooke was detained for a secondary inspection after agents claimed she acted nervously at the checkpoint in Waddington, New York, on the US-Canada border.

A female agent decided that Cooke's non-response to a comment about her dog being "cute," was sufficient grounds to search her car.

Cooke refused the search, and was ordered to get out of her vehicle and wait for a K-9 Unit to arrive.

When Cooke began filming the incident and questioning the agents as to why she was being detained, they became increasingly uncommunicative and ordered her to move away from them.
