- Mexican Standoff - US Border Patrol Agent's Checkpoint Challenge of Silent Citizen, 5 January 2014, Rob Trudell exercises a 5th Amendment Right to Remain Silent. Right to use the bathroom. Baños, #borderpatrol, #baños, #portapotty,
How you doing, sir? Where are you coming from today? Do you speak English? Spanish? Habla Española? Português? Are you? Where? Are you a United States Citizen, sir? Okay, do you have any passports? ID? Okay, do you speak English? Española? Português? Do you talk? Could you pull over there please?
How are you doing today, sir? Where are you coming from? Do you speak English? Spanish? Any? Alright, you're not going to answer my questions? Alright. This is an Immigration Checkpoint. You are being detained until you answer our questions. Is that clear? Okay, you've got cameras on. You have to use the bathroom? You can use the bathroom.
After 150 feet turn right, Highway 85.
He's got mounts all over the place.
What's that?
He's go mounts all over his car.
Yeah.
It's probably still recording, but. No. If he stays in the bathroom, he can stay in the bathroom. We'll just pass it onto Swing Shift.
Ha-ha. Yeah.
That's fine with me.
Fine with me.
Ha-ha.
Is this the vehicle that they were...
Um huh.
8060. I need you to run a plate. Copy.
Alpha C alpha. 8060.
10-4. 2829 on that check. 2829 on that direct check. Yankee Uniform Mike Alpha 3 1 0.
You can step back in your vehicle or stay out here. So, pretty much what's going to happen is you are detained until you cooperate and answer our questions. Okay? If you prefer not to, that's perfectly fine.
You can go in your car or you can stand out here. Okay? Fine.
Whenever you are ready to answer the questions or if you can't speak, if you have a medical condition, I'll give you a piece of paper to write down those on. Just let me know. We'll work here for 12 to 14 hours and then we'll pass it on. So whenever you're ready to cooperate, let me know.
Would you like to sit down sir? If I give you a chair would you like to sit down? No?
Yankee Uniform Mike Alpha 3 1 0 registered to Robert Trudell. Call on plate.
Whenever you're ready to cooperate...
There are some birds flying in your window. Would you like to roll them up? No? It's okay? Alright.
2 hours later...
Sir, could you please step out of the vehicle one time?
Step back.
So you're not going to answer any of our immigration questions? That's all.
To those saying was it really worth all that time! Are you serious? The rights our soldiers die for? You are asking if that's worth waiting that Long just remember that! He was protecting his 4th and 5th amendment! That's the problem with this country sorry but if you don't want to stand up for your rights maybe you should just go to a country with less then maybe you will see why we risk being arrested by that one just willing to do it! Maybe you should think of the bigger picture! We have lost too many good men to just think it's not worth it! People who say that are selfish and in my mind don't deserve to call themselves American! We are American freedom is what we are known for if we allow this to happen what's next?
I'm with this guy. This guy gets it.
good man, please replace all citizens with clones of this guy we will get so much done
agree ..
Or maybe he finds a sense of enjoyment by demonstrating his subnormal intelligence at the border.
For all of you saying he needs to get a life.....He seems perfectly happy doing what he's doing. I for one am glad he wasted their time.
As soon as they let him go, he should have made a complete U turn and came back in again.
lolololololololololol epic!
hahahah amazing
Brilliant! Why not bring grandma and her bingo/church crew following!
Holding him there for 2 hours is a clear violation of the 4th Amendment. Refusal to cooperate, alone, is not justification for further detention. It was an illegal seizure of the person and his property. They know who the guy is. They only reason they're doing this is because he was videotaping them LEGALLY, by the way. The maximum they can make him wait for the k9 is 10 minutes. It was completely unlawful. THey didn't defend anyone from this man. They actually made it more dangerous. See the shooter in SF. They didn't catch him. Now a 32 year old woman is dead because they harass citizens like this.
+reformcongress well said and correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
He should expect some waiting. If he does not cooperate. I think its highly unrespectful to do stuff like this. They couldnt tell what country he was from and they had to figure it out. I thinks this is just wrong. What is he hiding if he has nothing to hide?
Miha Gričar They knew what country he was from the moment he spoke. Don't be stupid. This is within 100 miles of the Mexican border, not some English speaking country. If he has to wait at all if they refer him to secondary, then it becomes a seizure WITHOUT ANY REASONABLE CAUSE which is required by Supreme Court decisions. The Border Patrol is out of control. They are not serving the purpose that the agency was created for.
However, the bigger issue with these checkpoints is that aren't really reasonable, and they aren't solving the problem with the lack of enforcement of immigration law. They are an excuse of the idiots called progressives so they don't have to build a wall because they already sold their souls to oppress as many minorities as they can.
reformcongress Oh yes, I know. A mexican might speak english as well. He is supposed to prove he is a us citizen, not that he is able to speak english.
Its cute how he's always has that little grin on his face (lol)
"Could you go over there please?" Is a request, and not an order.
Your rights don't need "exercising," there is no point in "exercising" those rights unless you are actually using them for something other than wasting your and boarder partoll's time.
It helps to practice for more realistic situations and also helps reveal the deceptive maneuvering Law Enforcement uses in trapping people with seemingly trivial and unsuspected information gathering strategies.
It's spelled "Border" and I'm guessing you know that.
Robert Trudell Yes. Practise on the small stuff.
I believe the forefathers provided those rights for the people for their protection.
Robert Trudell This would work most anywhere. In the commonwealth where there is the right to silence when detained(arrested) exercise that right (all rights) or the police can claim acquiescence, and you will have no protection.
On another recording when you went to secondary I gather they smashed the window, as you had consented, and so made contract. By going to secondary you have provided them jurisdiction. Have you read up on Cestui Que Vie(Trust)?
monique10j
This lawyer says what they did in Secondary is illegal: www.sandiego6.com/news/sd6-in-the-morning/lawyer-in-blue-jeans/250180991.html
An another Agent testified their false Arrest and Kidnap of me was illegal as well.
Exercise ones rights, or watch a systematic erosion of your rights into a police state where one does not have rights.
I like the 5th amendment.
You really needed some epic music for the standoff part, maybe a dueling banjos remix is in order?
Especially with the birds. The birds are freakin hilarious.
The music needs to be original and I must own the Rights to use it in these videos.
I'm experimenting with some music creations to add in the films.
--Rob
I agree, the birds were hilarious. I could just imagine little bubbles for a conversation...
"Hey guys, here's his car!"...
"Wow, he's really not gonna talk? Good or him! We don't have to say where we're going.."...
"Is there food in here?"
"Watch out, the green humans are coming!"...
"Want me to poop on him?"...
Really Dude? You wasted over 2 hours of your time to prove what? That you don't have to talk? The boarder patrol is there all day, so you wasted your time, not so much their time. stupid.
You're right!! But this moron sees it as a "WIN!" Like I said, they should have pushed the outhouse over with him in it... I would have... And barricaded the door so the coward couldn't get out while covered in human waste... Bet he would have started talking if that happened.
Frank Cremone
I'm sure that would be much more entertaining and see no reason why it would encourage me to talk. I might smile.
--Rob
Frank Cremone that would be funny watching those cops lose their jobs
Frank Cremone what's the definition of coward?
You're not running out to WalMart. You're crossing an international border. See the difference? You can expect to answer a few questions. Most nations do this.
They should have torn apart your car 'looking for drugs', said "have a nice day", and let you and your ripped up car through FOR WASTING THEIR TIME.
There's no Border in the area and yes, I travel through this Checkpoint to get to a Walmart, a Drive-Thru Restaurant or a Movie Theater.
This Stop is 63 miles north of the U.S. - Mexican Border and it is the 3rd Immigration stop on the same Highway heading north. It's 25 miles north of Ajo and 18 miles south of Gila Bend, Arizona.
The U.S. Supreme Court banned suspicionless Drug Checkpoints. The dog smelled for concealed people.
I plan on hiding in the vehicle while my Nephew drives me through an Interior Checkpoint like this and walk back through after transitioning if I go undiscovered.
Hey Mr. Williams: This adage applies so well to you.
"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt."
The same holds for typing goofy nonsense on the internet. Also: "Look before you leap."
hey Matt it's not an international border, it's just a checkpoint which is unconstitutional...Read up and learn...
He's not crossing the border. These are random checkpoints in a 100 mile radius of the border. He is still in the United States not in Mexico.
Its a joke, the border is wide open, everybody knows this, wonder why we have 10's of millions here now, you think they want to stop them, what a joke. Only the ones they are stopping is US Citizens, to harass them or act like they are doing their job, gates are wide open, yaw come!
The sad part is American citizens posting who say things like "Why not answer and be on your way?"....."This guy is an idiot"......."Why not just cooperate?"..,,,,"They gave you a chair and water and weren't being rude!"....... Many people died so we as Americans could live with the freedom and rights granted by our Constitution.
Forget these haters. They're chickens, they don't know or care that these guys are trained to take a mile for every inch u give. I appreciate your courage.
I appreciate This guy doing this for all of us.
The stupidest thing about most BP videos is they have zero reason to suspect that the driver isn't an American citizen, they just love abusing their authority, pure BS.
One would have to be an "American" to understand why this person did this. When I read the comments here it reminds me of what I heard a friend say quote "Americans have forgotten who they were and what their history is.... If you travel around the world you would find people that know our history and wonder what the hell happen to you. In a nut shell ? People here have let this government rule them instead of " by the people for the people".
NathanTransportLLc That's right. You have actually be an American, not one that lives in the USA and claims to be American. There is nothing authentic about those that hate on people for standing up for their rights.
After leaving I would I would roll down the window and go "Freedom"
Thank you for exercising your constitutional rights
alrighty then from the comments below I can see that we are all going to lose our rights to be free. The immigration once pulled me off a bus even after I declared that I was an American citizens so I find these videos worth it.
You can state you are exercising your right to remain silent, without giving up that right.
I was not revealing my accent.
Ahh, legitimate concern.
Check out all of the angry comments. There's no need to get emotional about anything this man did. People have really been programmed to love their servitude.
Troll level 50
I reached that level :D
"You can't explain the importance of freedoms and rights to someone who doesn't care about their own. Chivasme obviously doesn't get it, nor do they seem to care. I call them sheep, because they'll just go with the flow and not ask questions. Before they know it, they are walking off the cliff and already dead." best comment ever
For people walking near the edge of a cliff, the DHS will figure a way to push them off.
Hopefully, they know how to fly.
You should get like 10-20 other vehicles to this too... Fill up thier second area and see what happens..... 20 people back to back to back not saying anything.... That would be sweet.
Most Agents will quickly wave me through while doing the same thing.
This Agent decided to ignore reality. He had no reason to suspect I was in the Country illegally and confirmed his familiarity with my car to another Agent early on.
--Rob
Robert Trudell It took him 14 minutes to to determine that you did not have 17 illegal immigrants hidden under the seat.
I dont blame you one bit for not saying a word. The problem I have is WITH THE SHEPHERD SNIFFING YOUR CAR. If this is a BORDER CHECKPOINT to identify US citizens, what in the world are they doing searching your vehicle for drugs or illegal fruit? That was an unlawful, non-consensual search of your vehicle without ANY suspicion or probable cause to suggest you were either committing or were about to commit a crime involving anything a dog can sniff out. Once again, these checkpoints prove beyond any doubt that they have nothing to do with identifying US citizens and are about performing pre-crime enforcement ala Minority Report. Just do encompassing sweeps of everyone and hope you find one criminal out of 10,000, while inconveniencing and trampling on everyone's rights.
I applaud you for wasting their time because they are wasting our taxpayer's dollars. You tied up all kinds of resources which meant they had less manpower to pull these ridiculous stunts on other cars passing through. That dog sniffing your car is just so out of bounds from where Im sitting (in Ohio - not sure on laws in your state) that it makes me want to hit every one of those border patrol officers over the head with a 150lb US Constitution written on tree stumps. That was just a fallback move. "We can't determine citizenship, so lets see if he's trafficking weed with 15 GoPros on his car." As if drug runners film themselves doing business.
They train and certify the dogs to detect concealed people.
--Rob
the first mistake was that he should have informed them that he was going to exercise his right to remain silent. second, they asked (not ordered) him to pull over and he complied. once he informed them of his silence; they would have most likely let him go. it seems he had a lot of time to kill.
greg johnson
I wanted to use their Restroom and initially planned on demanding they deport me to Guam for 3 weeks.
I remained silent so I wouldn't reveal my accent.
--Rob
funny
Robert Trudell
What do concealed illegals smell like and what reasonable suspicion did they have that you might be hiding a gaggle of undocumented migrant farm workers from Chihuahua under the bellypan of your car. Id like them to answer that.
They should have locked you out of your vehicle while you were in the port-a-pot playing with yourself.
You should always lock your car when exiting it. That keeps the revenue rangers out.
Mikevdog and armed robbing traitors also....lol
Lol
I loved this video! People that dont like it just don't understand! For you people that think hes stupid the jokes on you! Keep the videos coming!!!
Only drug traffickers hate checkpoints. I gues he use drugs and his supplier cant get through to his house.
I enjoy Checkpoints and the Ad Revenue they bring me.
Cops love them because of the money they collect for the state,
If only drug traffickers hate checkpoints, does that mean that terrorists are OK with them?
Really you gues[sic]?
Maybe in future you will learn a natural humans rights, and not 'gues'.
Handled SILENTLY like a professional! Very well done and inspirational!
Was this one of those "in-land immigration" check points?
these checkpoints are a waste of tax payers money.
You should sue them for kidnapping and violation of your rights. They have no right to impede or detain. ....
You just wasted some other people's time .
The Agents spent most their time playing on Game Boys while waiting for traffic at this remote station.
--Rob
So ,have you done it again ?
catrashoo
Done what?
This: Checkpoint - Automatic Weapon - Busting out of Ajo Border Patrol Station
or this: Right to Remain Silent - Why, I'm not saying, Border Patrol Agent Checkpoint Questions Citizen
Maybe 20 times again.
--Rob
What you did on this video.
catrashoo
Mostly I provide much less information and leave my window sealed as well as part of not consenting to a sniff search.
Yes I've done the same thing many times following. It doesn't take other Agents this long to admit they have no reason to suspect I'm in the Country illegally.
--Rob
You must be bord...
I'm easily entertained.
--Rob
bored**
Dummy.
border patrol birds :P
Nice video. They detained you and you filmed the checkpoint the whole time.too funny. Next time zoom the rear cam in so we can see what they're doing a bit closer
He was in that "Porta Potty" a hell of a long time. Must of been a bad Enchilada :)
I'm sorry, I don't want to comment on this with an ignorant answer. I just want an explanation on what you were trying to accomplish here.
I wanted to use their restrooms. Initially I planned on demanding they deport me to Guam for 3 weeks.
--Rob
TrueSpartan Gaming thanks :)
wowsdrawkcab WTF does that mean ??
Robert Trudell Guam is US territory.good one.LOL!
Man I have alot of respect for you for defending the costitution. Unfortunately I couldn't do the same today when they violated my rights today at a Texas checkpoint. These guys frisked me more than once and treated me like a criminal. Their dog scratched my brand new car; I was very pissed off when I left the checkpoint.
Thanks for the subtitles in the info! Like someone else said, you're hilarious!
What I find funny about all the people who complain about what you did, they don't see the irony in all of this. "These checkpoints are for your protection" "All you had to do was say yes I am a U.S. citizen". How can it be for safety when all you have to do is say you are a U.S. citizen. How can they let you drive through by you only saying yes I am a U.S. citizen.
It is ridiculous. All you have to do is say one word to drive through, how is that actually stopping people from getting in illegally, not to mention it just shows the power trip they are on. "If you answer yes, you can go. If you refuse to answer we will throw a fit and make you sit for 2 hours because we have to feed our egos and pretend we are doing the U.S. a service".
Just in case you want to jump to conclusions, just remember this was an experiment by someone who is happy to invest his time into documenting real life situations at check points, thus the reason he went through with the entire scenario. You can't conduct a specific experiment without going through the process, regardless of the time it takes and the appearance it may give.
I used to think this guy was an idiot, but once I started to understand what he was doing and why, I began to appreciate that there are documented accounts of this shady area of rights and freedom which come into question when you blur the lines with the use of check points.
The truth is if you want to screen all the people that just happen to be living close to a border, then you also have to admit that you do NOT live in a free country. Otherwise, you must, by the rights granted to you and the freedom that you celebrate, be able to travel unimpeded by check stations if you choose not to cooperate with the intended goals of the check stations. It may sound selfish on those people's parts, but you simply can't have your cake and eat it to. You either submit to the sacrificing of your rights and freedoms, which is what the Government prefers you to do and thus make it as painful as possible if you refuse to cooperate, or you embrace the freedoms that have been granted upon you to the detriment of the goals pursued by these check stations.
Freedom or accountability, your choice. You can't have both. One will cancel out the other.
It’s more of a risk of people living next to a border. So you value safety less? Is what your saying? In other countries their borders are not like this what so ever 😂
Well said
LOL at the birds checking your ride out @ 12:03; wonder of they worked for the boarder patrol!
i was thinking what a peaceful moment and now you tell me they are spies for border patrol ? just kidding great birds in video .
This reminds me of Mr. Bean. He should pull out a table and picnic basket and eat lunch :)
You know you technically have to state that you are invoking your 5th amendment right to remain silent; otherwise it can be construed as obstruction or resisting. Under the law silence is consent not protest. Just say it and keep saying it, they will eventually let you go. Probably in just a few minutes and not hours. The supervisors know they have no real authority other than what you give them. So, don't give them any authority over you.
Technically, I remained silent so I wouldn't reveal my accent.
--Rob
Robert Trudell Thank you.
to the guy that made this video and was sitting at the border patrol for like 5 hours,was it really worth it to stay there for half of a day for refusing to answer them or would it have been better for you if you answered a stupid question and went on about your day...Just curious.I am in agreement with you 100% for standing up for our rights,but for some stupid border patrols,it's not worth the hassle seeing is how you had to stay there for 5 hours..peace out...
to prove to the people that america is not a police state, yes, yes it was.
I was not there,HOWEVER,I DO BELIEVE the time spent there WAS/IS well spent..WE THE PEOPLE,STILL HAVE A FEW RIGHTS..Like the RIGHT to remain silent, the RIGHT to OUR 5th. AMMENDMENT!! WELL DONE MR.TRUDELL!!
I agree but I wouldn't stay at some stupid checkpoint for 5 hours...I would have done it in a different way and maybe have gotten out a little earlier then 5 hours..
WHATEVER WE MUST DO,WE MUST DO..DOESN'T MATTER HOW WE GET THERE,SO LONG AS WE GET THERE!! GOD BLESS YOU!!
We are there,we just need to balance it out and keep it steady and known.I'm not activist because I need to work to support my family but I'd sure like to go on the road same as these guys.I'm am not dis-agreeing with any of these guys for doing this.I applaud them,I'm just stating that me,myself would just do it differently that's all,no need to debate or lecture me on this situation I'm well aware of The Bill Of Rights,checkpoints and every other kind of check point thanks to the brave honorable people that shared their videos on TH-cam.I'm glad we have such very honorable folks among us that protect us and let it be known that we are here to stand up for our rights and will die for them.I am one of those people..God Bless You and your family as well bud..thanks for responding..Have A Great Weekend..
If they hold you over two hours, that qualifies as an arrest. They had stop sticks under your tire for over 2 hours right? Use the same attorney as you did for the smashed window and sue them for damages again.
All who are critical of this brave man obviously do not understand standing up for a principle. I suppose most US citizens are so kowtowed, they resent watching someone stand up to authority, reminds them of what cowards they are.
Stay tuned for this guy's next video: he's going to purchase 15 GoPro cameras, carefully position them in various spots in his backyard, and record the grass growing for 9 hours. The most fascinating part of this video is knowing that a man exists who has so much free time, and so little to do, that he's managed to produce the LEAST interesting video on TH-cam while using 8 GoPro cameras simultaneously.
I admire folks like you, Robert Trudell, because most people wouldn't think of challenging "authority", even if it meant they'd be relinquishing their constitutional rights. And if they're so willing to give one of them up, what other right would they be willing to give up and then where does it stop. It takes courage to do what you did and I commend you for standing up for not only your rights, but the rights of everyone, INCLUDING all those who condemn you. You have my thanks.
que valla a México a ver si hace lo mismo lo hacen hablar a punta cachazos
LMFAO that is the officer who pulled over Gabriel Iglesias
i drove right through this check point and i didn't even stop for the agent he kept trying to wave me down, i had to use the boys room and i don't like enclose small spaces like the porter potty so i drove to a public restroom amazingly they did't chase me...
+Rudy Castro Recently I cut a hole through my seat, floorboard and pants so I'm able to take my potty break without stopping.
That's what the Agent's horses do: th-cam.com/video/llCgDPgRDtA/w-d-xo.html
Answer the fucken question. A Simple "yes"
What makes you think "Yes" is an honest answer?
Robert Trudell You are stupid. They don't know who you can be. Crossing an international border is not the right place to stay silent when you are asked questions.
john mac
I'll make sure to say something when I do then.
Thanks for the advise.
Your\ welcome.
Your not an American
Cant believe I watched this...
There is 16 minutes I will never get back.
Anyone else notice how he took his time in the porta-potty ?
We need to organize a day when many can show up and stand up for their rights, all at the same time. That would be awesome, and help promote education. GBU!
I appreciate guys like you who go out on a limb like this to resist tyranny. Hoo Yah brother , carry on and never mind the mindless slaves who claim you are wasting your time. If it were not for men like you we would totally be under the boot right now.
This was a complete waste of my time
Right at the end he should've said "Ya'll have a great day now, ya hear?".... That would've been hilarious... Props on this guy for exerting his 5th amendment.
Goes to show your knowledge of the constitution. The fifth amendment protects from self incrimination...meaning you would have needed to committed a crime.
All you keyboard warriors and "sovereign" citizens should really pick up a book sometime instead of leavening from these losers without jobs.
Lying to Agents is a crime and its easy to do accidentally anytime a person opens their mouth or through misinterpretation. When anything you say can an will be used against you it's obviously biased law enforcement.
At a previous stop, the Terrorism Liaison Office used their Front Organization, the ACLU to further investigate and manipulate me after the fact. The also sabotaged my career and cost me $1,000,000 in financial losses along with preventing me from viably working ever again.
For details see: www.ajorocks.com/sf95_tort_claim.htm
Thank you Robert for your service to our country. It is much appreciated.
I hope that you're fucking joking. He is not providing any type of service what so ever.
the Supreme Court just ruled a month ago that you do not have to answer a single question (per 5th amendment). In previous cases they also ruled that an immigration checkpoint may not force a citizen to pull off the road unless the officer has probable cause (evidence of a crime). In this case no probable cause exists.
They can do as they please .
birds were starting to fly into your car I think they were looking for hamburgers
Meanwhile kilos are rolling threw while there wasting there time with this guy because they are on a power trip. RESPECT MY AUTHORITAY . If I was the cartel I would have like 10 of these guys roll through with me a hour behind , they would be so happy I or someone else kissed there ass I would roll right threw. They need to think outside the box or think at all and it would help a lot more for interdiction. I cant believe the border agents are so gullible , I am guessing there not much training or college involved.
most people cooperate... to me he would have set off suspicion alarms as well, in reality he just wasted tax payers dollars and efforts... and all you people here hail him as a hero.
They could have let him roll on , there the ones wasting tax payer dollars . Breaking the law is part of what they do , as they profile people every day. And they demand respect but do not respect our right to privacy. If they can not do there job within the confines of the law , they should try to get the laws changed . And when the law is disobeyed for there convenience and laziness its definitely a problem.
Stephen Gregory you're a d*** they are the ones wasting tax payer money by trying to indoctrinate people into giving up their rights and acquiescence to illegal stops without question. ...
mensa517 your obviously not a part of mensa nor have you ever been, the people there don't start off an intelligent argument with profanity and insults, it shows your ignorance, and removes all credibility to your argument SKOAL I understand your argument, and for the most part I agree with you, however if you haven't been in the position of law enforcement i would expect you to understand the difficulty of being responsible to 300,000,000 americans expecting that you will keep them safe... and having to do this with only a 15 second talk with the driver... the officer asked a simple question, if he had at the very least said "I am exercising my 5th amendment right" he would have at least looked or seemed a little less suspicious, but refusing to say anything at all definitely triggers suspicion alarms and the officer has every right to follow his gut when facing suspicious activity, people who dont understand their own rights or understand how or when to use them is exactly the type of people who make an already difficult job harder, if you think you know what everything is about I challenge you to take the officers job and show us all how its done.
I'm not border patrol, never said I was, but im glad to know you could spot a smuggler 100 miles away, and how educated you must be, even though you too feel the need to start off an intelligent conversation with more insults, seems to me that since you have no ground to stand on you feel the need to go on the defensive over your weak argument, once again I challenge you to show us how its done, or to bring myself to a level you can understand, "nut up or shut up"
No points proven here. Just someone with a shortage of attention trying to be a hero on TH-cam. Thumbs down.
Interesting. If you are a US citizen, you must either A/ Not be aware of your constitutional rights or B/ not sufficiently care about them....
I love the irony of you being questioned by an agent named Fernandez.
Also, what do you think they would do if you just put the vehicle in park and took a nap?
I started to take a nap, then decided to refresh my camera batteries.
The Agent chose to release me as I got the video recording restarted.
--Rob
This video should be titled "Birds on a car window.......IN HELL."
Fantastic experiment and exercise, thanks again!
This is some serious ownage of these worthless agents; thank you sir.
Let's see who really got owned. Guys who are paid to be there regardless or a guy who isn't getting paid having to be there? Dumbass
ITRIEDEL
I made about $200 on this Stop so far and expect to make much more over time.
--Rob
the number of cameras in his car...is the same as his IQ
May I borrow $64,500 to match my overrated online score? I'll pay it back with love.
Robert, what type of cameras do you use inside the vehicle?
Here's a list: th-cam.com/video/ywOWR-AchUM/w-d-xo.html
I doubled the number of goPro from then till this filming while waiting on the seized items.
this is great work you are doing for the rights of Americans - I live in a place where these checkpoints don't exist (yet) so the opportunity to exercise my rights hasn't presented itself, but when it does, I look on brave people like you for inspiration and courage.
Your perseverance is highly admirable. Good JOB
Right on man! Someone has to stand their ground.
TWO THUMBS UP Robert Trudell---HOW DA FCK WAS YOU TO KNOW THE MEXICAN QUESTIONING YOU WASN'T' A VILLIAN
You cut out the part where you actually talked to them.
You showed them, was that a bubble gum scented area or just the raw sewage smell. Holy shit you got them now. hahahaha.
First time I went to the states I almost got detained at the airport upon boarding the plane back home (after 2 security checks) just because I went to the 2nd row where Officers were checking the boarding passes and passports. It was a misunderstanding on my end, I did not see the Office was actually telling the other person behind me to switch to the other row.
Man , wernt you hot in the bathroom ,!!! Lol
I would love to see several car do this and overflow the secondary. What would they do. Have 10 car hit all at the same time. LOL
Hey Robert, Good Vid. question did you go into the bathroom on purpose to see what they would do while you were not insight, or did you really have to use the bathroom?
Lol those three birds where like, hey let's care jack this ride.. Wait here come the fuz, fly away !
for anyone wondering what a "2829" check was, it is a 10-28 and a 10-29 (registration check and warrant check)

If there was a State Warrant do Federal Agents have a Right to hold a Pedestrian at a Checkpoint that's specifically allowed for Motorists?
Could I walk away?
IMHO Yes, they will most likely "detain" you until local LEOs show up to deal with you. You would not be free to leave if they chose to do this.
Folder chair in a cargo pocket would help!! LOL
AWESOME!
Thanks RT, you are the man and I am jealous of your video skills!
Have to admire a man living his convictions. While you were standing in the sun for two hours, I was drinking beer, having sex (hetero,no less)and watching NASCAR. My boss at the chicken plant calls it "multi-tasking".
Thanks video man. I thank you because you stood up for my rights.
Thanks for providing the script. I could not make out wtf he said at the end of this sentence. _It's probably still recording, but. No. If he stays in the bathroom, he can stay in the bathroom. We'll just pass it onto Swing Shift._ It was taking so long birds 12:13 were going to start building a nest in your car LOL
Perhaps a citizen can reply " Officer, are you intelligent enough to understand the legality of your actions "
I kept quiet so I wouldn't reveal my accent.

Why did you turn it off? I wanted to see if you got your cameras back.
I wanted to use the restroom.

This seems like a kinder way to handle it than screaming at officers to exercise your rights.
I don't understand the point of these checkpoints. They ask if you are a US citizen, you say "Yes", and they allow you to leave. I feel so much more secure now, knowing that people don't lie.
The Agents look and listen to more than what people say in determining what they believe.
Here I said nothing so I didn't reveal my accent.

It still seems pointless to me. This is no where near the border. They take an oath to uphold the constitution, yet most of them have probably never even read it.

Since tightening the seal in other Border locations, this AZ SR-85 Highway route became a popular immigration corridor.
This is the 3rd Immigration Inspection and Stop of all traffic heading north on this same highway.

Robert Trudell Revealing an accent is pointless. I've watched several of these checkpoint videos, and most of the border patrol officers don't even sound like Americans. Most of them have strong foreign accents.
I like watching your videos. I show them to the judge and we discuss what to do. I've learned several things that we can do in these situations. It's nice to be prepared. Some day they will get wise and talk to theirs.
Great video. Thanks for sacrificing your time to display what a bunch of shit these illegal checkpoints are!
I made no sacrifice. I enjoyed the stay.

Which GPS you use ?
Tom Tom at this time.
Have you considered running a microphone on the outside of the car to record their conversations or would that be considered wiretapping?
I don't think so in Arizona if I'm there.
--Rob
+Robert Trudell Yea, what was the outcome? And if I'm not mistaken, I saw Border Patrol agents smashing your window and arresting you. That caught my attention because (a) DPS was present and would be the more proper entity to do such a thing (if it were legal and probable cause present of course), (b) BP had no reason probable cause to attack you since you posed no threat and their MAIN JOB AT THE SECONDAY CHECKPOINT was still to determine your citizenship status and with reasonable PC to search for illegal drugs and/or people hiding in your car. Nevertheless, because you had chosen to obey the order of Border Patrol agents to move to their secondary checkpoint, you had given them probable cause (a flimsy one, I admit) to conduct an investigation that could get pretty intrusive since you essentially gave them the small hole of "we don't know if he's an American citizen or not" and the slide down the slippery slope begins, touching on things like "well, if there's a chance he's not a citizen, then he's probably here illegally, which makes him a criminal AND a criminal loves to commit crimes...like fraud, forgery ( let's look through his wallet and other documents in the car), drug smuggling, human trafficking, bombs, and money laundering (let's tear up the car/search his body thoroughly, especially if he could be a terrorist). When you get upset and protest, they could claim you have something to hide, if not on you or in the car, that they need to investigate further so they might want to lock you up longer and check into your travel, financial records, phone/computer data, people you know or communicate/associate with, your political and religious views and practices, etc.
I believe most states have relaxed or even ignored the outdated wiretapping statutes, with most considering that it only takes one party to consent/have knowledge of it taking place. Clearly it's not illegal when recording in public areas, involving public officials performing their taxpayer funded duties, and with equipment that are openly visible for people around to see/realize that there is video and audio recording. Interestingly enough, law enforcement was using the outdated wiretapping laws to lock people up when video cameras became readily available and people began taping abusive conduct by bad cops (see Rodney King, 1992). After camera phones became common, and used frequently to record dirty cops for abuses and as evidence to expose outright lies by cops and their thin blue line, the law enforcement community fought tooth and nail for a few years to prevent laws and court decisions that would reject the wiretapping laws as a legal wall preventing the people from recording law enforcement performing their duties which have significant impact on the rights, freedom, safety, and even lives of civilian citizens when interacting with heavily armed law enforcement officials. TH-cam and news reports of police corruption and brutality explain why they fought so hard to prevent this right to citizens. Even after the law changed, except in Illinois, Maryland, and Massachusetts, enforcement officials are still caught lying about the to intimidate and stop people from recording.
You sure showed those border agents whose really in charge, in only 2 hours. LMAO

Good job! Don't worry about the government slaves bashing what you did. You didn't waste your time, you wasted theirs'! Nothing like a free afternoon :)

I get paid through Ad Revenue with the videos.

Absolutely frightening the number of boneheaded comments below from people who have no concept whatsoever of what the 4th amendment 5th amendments are and how this guy is standing up for them.
I suspect many come from the same person pretending to be different people.
When it comes to our precious 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment liberties there can be no compromise. It's bad enough that the ignorant and cowardly won't stand up for the constitution. It's even worse when they trash brave individuals who are willing to risk inconvenience and even bodily harm to defend the constitution. God bless the modern-day patriots.
they have been conditioned to OBEY
