DEA Caught Red-Handed: Airport Intimidation
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ส.ค. 2024
- At airports across the U.S., Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents confront flyers as they are boarding flights and ask to search carry-on items.
These interactions are supposed to be consensual. But flyers often get the impression that they have no choice but to submit to a search.
IJ currently has a class action lawsuit against the DEA and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) over their unconstitutional searches and seizures at U.S. airports.

Any thoughts about giving us the facts involved in the "Lawfare" perpetrated against President Trump? It's all falling down on these states and prosecutors publicly.
@@InstituteForJustice Thanks for the video, great work!
Also; Fun fact that many people don’t know; the last administration in the white house, run by a celebrity politician, re-instated Civil Asset Forfeiture, bringing it back after his Predecessor Barry got rid of Civil Asset forfeiture during his tenure
When can a person use FORCE to defend self from non offical? Remember unlawful illegal laws are to be treated like unlawful illegal orders. They don't exsist. I'm a trained Federal Offical why isn't people being trained to defend self from untrained peofessional. Stop leaving things out.... no one wants MoNey. We want patriorism. We want professionalism? All truths are self evident? DEA and other 3 letter agencies are PROBLEM because THEY lack training. America aint shit but crap predenting to be cake. You can take a bite and eat it. 🫣
Thank you , David for sharing your experience and Thank you, Institute for Justice for educating and defending our civil rights!
The probable cause is drug trafficking and other crimes associated with drug trafficking. The DEA agent should have said that.
The agent's arrogance speaks volumes. He's a thug with a badge.
Thats most cops
Legalised robbery
Probably why he chose this job.
@@JodyHughesWarriorKingit seems we see a lot of thugs entering power wielding positions.
Yes, a domestic terrorist with a badge.
“I am the government” exactly why he shouldn’t be trusted.
"I am the law"
they are not 'the government'
@@standingbear998 no just the armed thugs working on its behalf
Wrong! We should be able to trust our government. That type of thinking is paranoia. Our government is there to protect us. This is entirely on the individual agent and possibly his supervisor.
As Americans, know what we do against tyrannical governments?
Take a good look at this officer, this is the face of a traitor.
The face of Domestic Terrorism
They think their heroes. They think the public should fawn all over them and thank them for their service. They walk around like they are a bunch of total badasses.
@@chriscald9426 its the unbridled power & perceived authority that their immunities granted to them that give these oath breakers their God complex’s ! They know they are the masters & We are the slaves & they treat us accordingly!
It’s not a traitor. He’s just doing his job as he should, ignoramus
And tyrant
Enemies of the Constitution should be identified and treated like enemy combatants.
This DEA agent needs to go away, how come they can't stop the Israeli meth infection in the USA
Could do a FOIA request on the airport regarding his badge information if someone were to try and enhance it. Just saying.
Same thing goes for those in power in office or civilian or government or other jobs that this problem keeps coming up in. no one does anything about them or deals with them one way or another.
@@Jaystarzgaming You wouldn't believe how many times I have heard things like "rights have to be earned" or "being a slave is certainly better than being homeless" or "the government should make everyone join the military."
The Constitution was a fairly simple covenant. The role of the government is a limited one all the way up the chain (which consists of civil servants); we do not get our rights as a courtesy -- it exists as a promise to honor the rights of its People; those rights are inalienable, and we defend ourselves for that cause as opposed to international campaigns of global hegemony.
You gonna be the first one to follow your own suggestion?
It’s gonna have to get a lot worse before people will risk their comfortable lives for the idea of freedom.
We just aren’t those people anymore.
These are criminals with badges. Period.
Sucks to be you
It was criminal before, but prompting the dog to sit and then calling that a positive indication was so bad it's just hard to believe.
Don't forget the guns and qualified immunity
We have the democrat party to thank for this.

This is what happens when no one prosecutes government employees who break the law. The fact that they illegally detained this man, but there are no consequences means that law may as well not exist.

You make a good point
Presenting a dog the area he is supposed to search is not illegal, however the dog was also signaled additionally with the kissing sound and that is leading a response which is bad procedure and can lead to false results from a dog just trying to please his handler. This handler knew what he was doing and that dog needs retraining now due to improper leading and repeated praise for false results. The handler should be fired and decertified from ever handling a dog again.
There was some investigation of highway cops, where the dogs indicated on 100% of those searched. They got greedy, and the judge shut them down. But in some areas, the judge gets a cut of the money, so anything goes....

Citizens are paying to have someone violate their rights. Why not get pissed at them?
agent? I saw multiple agents... the dog handler was the worst as he framed the guy.... why you all focused on just one and let the rest get off free? They were all illegallyl conspiring against him.
That guy did the right thing. Now sue the DEA for harassment.
4th Amendment violation/Illegal search and seizure, unlawful detention, the cost of the ticket that he probably had to buy to get home, and harassment to start. Then sue the agent individually in a civil case.

If you think this is bad, try seeing what the DHS does to immigrants and visitors on a daily basis
Since the DHS operates unconstitutionally, but the people of the US consented to this policy because of paranoia (the war on terror), this is what you get.
Who would’ve thought treating fellow humans like trash would make the us government treat locals that way? I think someone in the beginning of the US said it best:

Corrupt DEA agents gaslighting innocent civilian, hoping he can find some cash in the dude's backpack, so he can illegally seize money and keep it.

It's common, but I really hate it when people imply police aren't also civilians.
That term applies to anyone who isn't military. And cop definitely aren't no matter how much they like to pretend that they are.
@@MasterFancyPants cops are state-sanctioned criminals. They stopped being civilians when they turned against us.
Don’t you consent when you enter the airport. Don’t to defend this agent, he could have handled this better.
@@VF-84 Congress has given the FAA authority to screen passengers at airports, but this has NOT been extended to any other agency. Further, this passenger had already gone through screening and was on the plane ready to depart. Unless this DEA agent had credible evidence against this passenger, the stop and search were entirely illegal, and, unfortunately, way too common.
Why isn’t the agent held accountable for civil rights violations?
Because you have none.
Every time I see or hear someone BEG FOR "ACCOUNTABILITY", I know that person is indeed INDOCTRINATED. The Agent IS and WAS held "accountable"!! Words and language MEAN EVERYTHING in "legal land". Why do YOU and most people never ask yourselves WHY there is no LIABILITY? I bet YOU and most people think these assholes should have IMMUNITY for SOME of their "techniques" to arrest/detain/search/cite/chase and many other tactics. LIABILITY is what these criminals masquerading as LE should be held for EVERY TIME. Free your mind and your ass might follow.
No right to privacy in airports past security! 4th amendment doesn't apply in the area past TSA, you can be searched for any and all reasons without consent.
I’d like IJ to agree with that please.
@@JebbyManCan you provide your source for this statement?
F the DEA, end qualified immunity and civil forfeiture.

Isnt Jan 6 the same thing but for more camera time?
Trump said when he gets into the white house again he is going to make sure that qualified immunity goes into effect across America for all police officers. FACT. Like I care about how people view my stance on this, but that is some tyrannical shit right there. But because it's coming from Trump I'm supposed to bow and shut my mouth.

It would be just as bad if they were looking for drugs. Drug prohibition has single handedly done more damage to the 4th amendment and bill of rights than ant other law or policy in American history.
Furthermore, if a consenting adult can't consume a drug in the privacy of their own home, then we simply do not live in a free country. You either own your own body or your don't, and if you agree we do, then whatever someone does with that right is nobody else's business.
Exactly! Knowing that they don't have to give it back. SMH
@@post-leftludditewell said.
They are looking for anything that will benefit them, either cash or drugs to steal and maybe turn in a percentage of to get quota
Thank you for exposing this blatant violation of our rights
I am a dog training and handler. That agent absolutely told that dog to alert on that bag. I can get my dog to alert on anything even a tree. And have proven it many times.
Yep, anyone can teach a dog to sit by using a noise (kissy noise or clickers) knowing that obeying a command results in a treat or a reward.
And what have you done to remedy this issue? Have you taken legal action against the department that trained you? Have you testified to your experiences? If not, you're just as bad as the idiot "agent" in this video.
What the agent is doing is a criminal act..
The DEA Agent and the Dog Handler should be jailed for falsifying reasons for detention and falsely signaling the dog to hit.
Instead nothing will ever happen to either one of them. If I know one thing about this case it is that if anyone is ever held accountable it will be the American tax payer, and this agent nor his dog will ever receive any punishment whatsoever.

That encounter had everything to do with officer ego and nothing to do with the law. I'm glad this was all recorded.

Retired dog trainer here... yes, absolutely YES... that dog was commanded to do as it did... for real searches, there are no commands or leading or pointing, or kissy noises, NOTHING. The dog ran past the first time, bc there was nothing illegal in the bag... then the dog was ordered to sit and signal. Absolutely disgusting behavior by these officials.
I could see the "Did I do what you wanted" look on that dogs face. "Am I a good boy!"
I worked as a handlearn trained many dogs for sent detection. It wasn't done properly because you should never be doing it on one bag because that encourages the dog to false positive. There should have been multiple bags set up with a good amount of distance in between.

Our government already fails to protect us from drug traffickers, while going after medical communities' pain prescriptions written to average US citizens. Now people desperate for help are losing their lives by turning to the streets for unbearable physical pain. If you need surgery be prepared to suffer horribly after you leave the hospital. Most doctors won't write pain prescriptions while most pharmacies cannot get the needed pain medications, due to the ridiculous shenanigans based on current government policy. It appears to be the administration's plan for dealing with rising medical costs, funding foreign wars, and increasing their private offshore account balances, instead of containing or reining in corporate greed within the US.

Federal agents don't have qualified immunity they have absolute sovereign immunity as individuals. They can't lose it unless they're charged by a federal agency for a crime and never civilly. States can't charge them. And you can't sue them as individuals. In most cases you won't be able to sue their agency either. The federal government is different than local governments.

It's bad handlers that train this way. They don't come from the training facilities this way. They are in fact trained originally to alert on what they are trained to alert on. The bad or simply unaware handlers that then receive the dog inadvertently or purposefully incorporate bad habits or strait up train them to alert on a specific type of command.

There was a kid, about 19, who was walking across a college campus when he was approached by a group of men, demanding his wallet. Thinking he was being mugged, the kid ran, and was subsequently tackled and beaten by the men. They turned out to be federal agents looking for some other guy. It was a case of mistaken identity.
The plainclothes agent then proceeded to show their badges to the kid as well as the crowd of onlookers, ordering them to delete any recordings under penalty of arrest.
The kid was transported to the hospital with multiple injuries. He tried (and is still trying) to sue for excessive force. Unfortunately, the feds' qualified immunity has proven to be insurmountable.

@@Truck_person Incorrect. They are trained exactly like police K9s.
That dog did its search, the original sniff when it approached the bag, found nothing, and ran right past it. The dog knew it was a nothing burger and moved on.
The handler then DIRECTED the dog to the bag for a second, forced sniff, at which time the dog sat based on the leash hand's command. Watch the leash hand - he tilted it upwards with the pointer and third fingers extended. That is a version of the classic 'sit' hand signal military and police K9s are trained to follow.
This handler knew precisely what he was doing - and so did the dog. The dog followed orders perfectly and was promptly praised for 'alerting'.
I think the entire US should know who this agent is.

The agent works for a local police department. He has been "deputized" by DEA. An Atlanta News team did a story on civil asset forfeiture at airports. They mentioned this incident and identified the agent by name.
David Fikes of the Brookhaven Police Department is personally responsible for "seizing" over $1 million, 10% of which was then allocated to the Brookhaven Police Department.

As a K9 handler for Bomb detection, you can tell that dog had no interest and was NOT in odor when he did his first scan of the bag, the fact that he went a 2nd time and sat showed he was just queued off his Handler because there were no signs of change of behavior, he simply sat at the ONLY bag that was in the area and knew he’d get praise.

“Citizens may resist unlawful arrest to the point of taking an arresting officer's life if necessary.” Plummer v. State, 136 Ind. 306. This premise was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case: John Bad Elk v. U.S., 177 U.S. 529. The Court stated: “Where the officer is killed in the course of the disorder which naturally accompanies an attempted arrest that is resisted, the law looks with very different eyes upon the transaction, when the officer had the right to make the arrest, from what it does if the officer had no right. What may be murder in the first case might be nothing more than manslaughter in the other, or the facts might show that no offense had been committed.”

Someone in the TSA is tipping the DEA off that certain passengers are carrying cash or other things they can't legally take . There has to be a co conspirator.

There is no coconspirator. It's that the airlines provide a list of passengers who buy last minute tickets and other "red flags." This is as much the airlines fault as the DEAs. Both need to have their policies changed.
That’s actually exactly what’s going on. I 1st learned about this practice about 10 years ago.
There’s another video floating around that shows a failed armed robbery at LAX by US Customs agents. They tried to rob a black guy as he was exiting the airport and he stood his ground. LAPD showed up and surprisingly took the side of the guy the US Customs were trying to rob and told him to “declare his cash” to avoid being robbed.
He ended up claiming his cash EVEN THOUGH he wasn’t required to because he was flying domestically. Its absolutely insane.
The TSA routinely tips off the local airport DEA agent that’s typical
Hopefully the dog's false positive will be noted by defense attorneys.
Cop is clearly on a power trip and a fishing expedition… The absolute worst
The DEA realizes that you don’t have an endless budget to pay lawyers. They do and these seizures are part of the reason they have an enormous budget.
Luckily that's what the IJ is here for. While it's not endless, they have proven that they have both the funding and the resolve to take cases like this to the Supreme Court.
Most of the money they seize goes to local Police departments and the "agent" you see is not DEA, he's an off duty local cop fundraising for his local department.
The dog shit needs to stop. He can not testify in court to what he smelled.
His bag is his personal effects or property.
DEA, how unprofessional, these guys need to be expelled
If they had the legal authority for a search, they wouldn't ask for your permission.

To be fair, they never said THAT is why they wanted to search the bag. He is assuming that was the reason. Unless I missed something in the video🤔
