Fantastic standing up for your rights Terry. As a veteran and retired military, and retired police officer, I agree that interior checkpoints are nothing more than harassment to U.S. citizens.
I doubt Johnny B is any of the things that he said he was. If you have nothing to hide why is a border screening a problem for any American citizen. My problem is when we scream for these people and find out they're here illegally why don't we put them on a bus and just immediately take him back to the border and drop them off rather than to give him a summons to appear in court which they're never going to do. Are there bad law enforcement officials? Yes there are. Are all of them bad? No they are not! Some people are just unhappy human beings and they are determined to share it with the world! And you seem like one of them!
@@golfer1515 , yes, there are some on here who whine about having to show ID to prove their citizenship.

He does it for my protection...If you are a citizen, why NOT give my public servant a straight answer? If you will not answer, then I would want my officer to hold you until the cows come home.

You are fucking dumb! INA 27A3 and titles 8 and 22 allow Federal government to detain for checkpoint purposes! These agents are threatened by drug cartels and their lives are at risk when you I'd them! It is for security! Fuck you!
there are a lot of Americans within 100 miles of the US/Mexico border. Their lives should not disrupted by checkpoints and bullshit scrutiny. Ok everyone, you are free to live your lives as free Americans...unless you live 100 miles from the border, then you will fucked as if you are a criminal.
The reason we have "drug cartels" is because of the prohibition of 'drugs'. Decriminalize 'drugs' (as should be) and you get rid of the 'drug cartels'. Remember Al Capone made his name during prohibition. If somebody wants to do drugs, why do I give a shit?
Christopher Knox said: "Your picking a fight with a civil servant doing there job" This is false. The agents this person is talking about were not doing their jobs, they were violating a persons rights. Agents here can only detain for 'brief questioning" and "any further detention or search must be based on [the greater showing of] consent or probable cause." Once a driver indicates that he will not answer questions or consent to extend the detention or a search, then the only real option available to the agents are to quickly check for evidence of crime, such as contraband in plain view, and let him go if no evidence of crime is found.

Bless You Michael I have the upmost respect for you & your work. BTW I live in Tucson not far from these same checkpoints. As a carpenter driving to different jobsites in the past I've had to drive thru these checkpoints, and have been held back, and been late to the site so now I have to leave my house earlier than usual just in case.. They're definitely a nuisance. VIVA LOS IRLANDESES Y LOS SAN PATRICIOS.
sergio castillo Thanks so much, Sergio. Good to be in touch. I love Tucson and lived there for many years. It is a shame what is going on these days. Thanks for passing the word about the San Patricios. I wish I had a talent like yours. Carpentry is such a wonderful skill to be a master of.
Sigkim Hello Sigkim. Yes that does sound about right. Lately I have been working on Mt. Lemon re building (Framing) Cabins that burned down in that devastating fire about 7-8 years ago. Thankfully I haven't had to drive towards the 3 points area where I used to run into checkpoints, or other areas outside of Tucson where they have checkpoints. There was this one time about 2 years ago when I drove to Kit Peak to go check out the Telescopes. I wasn't in a hurry, and no cars were behind me. So at the checkpoint I decided to have a little fun. As soon they started asking me questions I started speaking a little German to them instead of English, and the guy had this confused look on his face. He was probably thinking > What the hell do I do with this guy he doesn't speak English, and I don't speak German
I will always record ANY encounters with law enforcement from ANY branch, simply because people will believe a LEO's claims without ANY supporting evidence, whereas I need a mountain of evidence to convince people I'M telling the truth.
Awesome video. thank you. We citizens must must fight for our liberties and rights. Border patrols have no right to question us. We’re still in a free country
You are so true and right on spot on these illegal checkpoints being treated like s second class citizen is unlawful and a shame to have to endure this BS
I wish I could thumbs up this video a million times! This what they fear the most. A well educated citizen sticking up for the constitution. He should have sued the unions for defamation of character since he had done nothing wrong. I just can't send a letter to your employer saying you are a child molester.
I have seen a few of this mans videos and keep a camera in my car as well for this very reason. My wife has had officers lie on the stand and it is your word versus theirs, wonder who will win. Well I paid the ticket, so I guess it was not us.
If the post in the local paper that there I will be a check point, then they can pull you over. That’s how they get around it. By you knowing it is there and you go there, you are giving consent. It’s the same with road blocks looking for drunk drivers.
'They charged me with two criminal misdemeanors during that encounter for disobeying the orders of a law enforcement officer directing traffic and for refusing to provide identification'. This guy is not the property of this law enforcement officer.
NO EMPLOYEE WAS GRANTED POWER OVER US! FUCK HIS BADGE, HE IS A TERRORIST! DOMESTIC ENEMIES MUSTBBE ERADICATED BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY! TYRANNY BY 'COP' IS ALSO A FELONY... SUE HIM IN CIVIL COURT!
Terry Brasee is a patriotic hero putting himself at risk and peril to defend our constitutional rights. He is a legendary American and we should all aspire to his example.
I was harrassed by these agents along this same stop outside of a Reservation,Organ pipe national monument,Kit peak,they have no right to do this kind of behavior on innocent folks it's wrong! At one point a federal agent started unlocking his pistol holder clip thing in an apparent effort to scare us into submission as if I was hiding something! I explained to all of them we were citizens and this vehicle was a rental who knows who rented it last! They failed to find the mass of drugs they were looking for because we weren't Drug smugglers or anything like that at all but visitors to Kit Peak which we no longer visit because of that particular Border Stop! 2 hours I will never get back! Talk about a non sense at the border check stop! Again nothing to hide but so damn tired of these stops everywhere!
+Bob Shizl A true American Backstabber along with the ACLU Lawyer he directed me to and the former FBI Agent, Micheal German who now works at the ACLU fighting Domestic Terrorists and forgetting about Constitutional Rights when it's convenient.
It is time for the ACLU to address this issue. What the "permanent temporary" interior Border Patrol (BP) checkpoints do is prove that the BP is ineffectual at/along the border. Either the BP is effective at the border, in which case the interior checkpoints are unnecessary and excessive; or the BP at the border is ineffective, in which case it either needs to be strengthened (by returning the interior BP agents to the border), or it needs to be eliminated (since BP management has been playing this weasel game for so long that the BP bargaining unit has been enervated and emasculated). If anyone with brains and determination is reading this, make this an issue; perhaps a presidential issue for 2020.
FORGET the ACLU. Their justice fighting days are way behind them. Now they just take in the donations and stash the money in off shore secret accounts.
One thing I've learned over the years is that many cops do not like or they simply resent intelligent people. Always easier to due battle with them when you are not in their grips...writing letter, posting videos, et al.
This is ridiculous and we as Americans shouldn't tolerate this. We need more people like this guy and should be exposing this more, and if you find yourself in that job you should remember the people you promised to protect
During a Terry stop or suspicionless "checkpoint" stop . . . "the officer may ask the detainee a moderate number of questions to determine his identity and to try to obtain information confirming or dispelling the officer's suspicions. But the detainee is not obliged to respond." Berkemer v. McCarty, 468 U.S. 420, 439 (1984).
Aaron, an Inland Checkpoint is NOT the same as a "Terry Stop" and has nothing to do with an illegal "search". The job of these agents is to catch ILLEGAL aliens, or those who refuse to ID as US CITIZENS. It amazes me how you think that the US has no immigration law, or doesn't ENFORCE immigration laws. You certainly have the right to refuse to say you are a US citizen, at which time you will be LEGALLY detained for AS LONG as it takes to determine your citizenship and it is ALL legal. Maybe you can explain to the rest of us how these agents are supposed to know who is, or is NOT a US citizen WITHOUT stopping them???
@@MrTigre6 Are you crazed? Border laws are applicable at the border hence the name. You have a right to privacy and a right to travel without molestation guaranteed by the constitution. These agents are supposed to find a better way if they are interested in finding out who is who.
@@mozarth , You really are incredibly stupid. The UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT ruled inland checkpoints 100 per cent legal !! By the way, Genius, tell us all how the agents are supposed to know who is, and is NOT a US citizen WITHOUT talking to them?? Man, can't you fuckin read???
No, the person certainly has the right to remain silent, at which time said person "shall be detained for as long as it takes to determine citizenship" and the detainment is 100 PER CENT LEGAl.
@@mozarth , hey, where is your reply?? You claim a "right to privacy" . NOPE, not when it comes to CITIZENSHIP. You either are a citizen, have a visa, or passport, or GO TO JAIL. As far as the "right to travel without molestation"...WRONG, the US does not allow an ILLEGAL alien to "travel anywhere" in the US illegally. Yeah, Mozart, you forgot President Trump is in office. So stick your" theory" up your ass!!
Excellent, I watched it twice!! I am a firm believer in The United States Constitution and governments (including law enforcement) operating within the confines of it!!! Today, more than ever, citizens need to know their rights!!!
It's perfectly understandable why these agents are assholes. They're supposed to be. You need to have psychopathic tendencies just to get that job. The perfect DHS/checkpoint agent is someone who is borderline mentally ill, but not so ill that he or she can't function. Just well enough to show up to work on a regular basis and execute orders with no empathy or independent rational judgement.
You don't have to be a psycho to get hired; they don't even test for that... unlike most police agencies. And you can't get promoted without mistreating people.
I've enjoyed this guy's videos he has posted on youtube for some time now. He has responded to several of my posts. I think he's done a good job. With such an open border in the desert, why would smugglers travel along a highway that they know has a checkpoint.
Border Patrol is absolutely necessary on the border, however I really disagree with these interior checkpoints. I quit my employment with the Border Patrol for this reason. I just did not agree with these checkpoints constitutionally and I did not feel comfortable being deployed to them. It's very important to stand up for your rights, however, I did wish many of you who understand this, would also understand the importance of protecting your 2nd amendment rights. However you feel about firearms, you need to understand that RIGHT protects the other rights. If you give away that right, I assure you they will strip you of the rest. We've seen it all throughout history. Please understand this and educate your children. Every government moves to take away your rights. The 2nd amendment keeps them at bay
Every action those cops took after his arrest for questioning him, is nothing more than retaliation. This guy knows the law, he questioned them on it and it hurt their feelings. And what a bunch of low-life’s trying to get him fired….for merely asserting his rights. Wow.
Thank you sir, this stuff is really getting out of hand, We as a nation half to stand up against the government treating us like we have no rights and they can do what they want when they want in the name of keeping us safe
Great video, thanks for sharing. Please show us the outcome and if you need funds, start a go-fund me as I will contribute to help stop these thugs. When our elected officials will not hold these crooks in uniform accountable and bring them in line, we need too. If that means with force, then that is what we have to do.
I work for the US Border Patrol. I despise checkpoints. The biggest problem we have is Democrats. We used to just wave people through the checkpoint unless there was some obvious violation of law. Democrats didn’t like that most of the people getting arrested were of Mexican descent. The Democrats mandated via legislation and court cases that we harass everyone coming through the checkpoint. This problem isn’t going to get fixed by recording the peons. This problem is going to get fixed by voting for politicians that are not corrupt. Which essentially means never voting for Democrats.
The Supreme court has ruled on this already Martinez-Fuerte appealed his conviction, and the Government appealed the granting of the motions to suppress in the respective prosecutions of Jiminez-Garcia and of Guillen and Medrano-Barragan. [Footnote 4] The Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit consolidated the three appeals, which presented the common question whether routine stops and interrogations at checkpoints are consistent with the Fourth Amendment. [Footnote 5] The Court of Appeals held, with one judge dissenting, that these stops violated the Fourth Amendment, concluding that a stop for inquiry is constitutional only if the Border Patrol reasonably suspects the presence of illegal aliens on the basis of articulable facts. It reversed Martinez-Fuerte's conviction, and affirmed the orders to suppress in the other cases. 514 F.2d 308 (1975). We reverse and remand.
6:30 A check point assumes your guilt and demands that you prove your innocence. Which covers Border Patrol check points and TSA check points! If they do not have reasonable suspicion, simply by what they see, smell or hear, they should not be stopping and checking you.

If a cop were to tell you to jump off a building..
Would you ?
Well why Not..
Because it's Wrong..
Just like those check points..
Just like many police interactions..
Know your Rights and Stand up for your Rights.
This is U.S.A.
this isn't china,north korea, 1940 germany etc..

In Soviet America, Border checks you!
Ryukushin
but at checkpoints between 50 to over 100 miles N of the border?
Go to Mexico. They check you too. Travel outside the country.
@@paulshamblin6260 Only because of the KILLER reputation America has... and the DRUG addictions.
Sue the bastards for trying to get you fired. Get an order of protection if you can!
God bless your soul Terry Bressi.
You are a freedom fighting influence and I solute you with a gentleman's bow.
If you won't stand up for something, you will stand anything! Freedom isn't free, you must fight like hell for it each and every day.
You are fucking dumb! INA 27A3 and titles 8 and 22 allow Federal government to detain for checkpoint purposes! These agents are threatened by drug cartels and their lives are at risk when you I'd them! It is for security! Fuck you!
+Hayabusa “GuiceyToe” Dragon Fuck off you pig lover. Go suck some bacon if you're that much in love with the police state.
there are a lot of Americans within 100 miles of the US/Mexico border. Their lives should not disrupted by checkpoints and bullshit scrutiny. Ok everyone, you are free to live your lives as free Americans...unless you live 100 miles from the border, then you will fucked as if you are a criminal.
....Imagine no countries, it's easy if you can.... livin life in peace. You may sayyyyy I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one........
The reason we have "drug cartels" is because of the prohibition of 'drugs'. Decriminalize 'drugs' (as should be) and you get rid of the 'drug cartels'. Remember Al Capone made his name during prohibition. If somebody wants to do drugs, why do I give a shit?
I used to be a cop and this is what we need more of, people fighting for our rights!
How you got fired 😂
@@willcastle2371 I was shot and decided to go back to school. Never fired, but I’ll stand behind constitutionalists before holster sniffers!
Christopher Knox said: "Your picking a fight with a civil servant doing there job"
This is false. The agents this person is talking about were not doing their jobs, they were violating a persons rights.
Agents here can only detain for 'brief questioning" and "any further detention or search must be based on [the greater showing of] consent or probable cause."
Once a driver indicates that he will not answer questions or consent to extend the detention or a search, then the only real option available to the agents are to quickly check for evidence of crime, such as contraband in plain view, and let him go if no evidence of crime is found.

Saved!
Clear and convincing defense of our constitutional freedoms. I respect his courage and determination. Good questions, Tracy Oppenheimer.
Bless You Michael I have the upmost respect for you & your work. BTW I live in Tucson not far from these same checkpoints. As a carpenter driving to different jobsites in the past I've had to drive thru these checkpoints, and have been held back, and been late to the site so now I have to leave my house earlier than usual just in case.. They're definitely a nuisance.
VIVA LOS IRLANDESES Y LOS SAN PATRICIOS.
sergio castillo Thanks so much, Sergio. Good to be in touch. I love Tucson and lived there for many years. It is a shame what is going on these days. Thanks for passing the word about the San Patricios. I wish I had a talent like yours. Carpentry is such a wonderful skill to be a master of.
Sigkim Hello Sigkim. Yes that does sound about right. Lately I have been working on Mt. Lemon re building (Framing) Cabins that burned down in that devastating fire about 7-8 years ago. Thankfully I haven't had to drive towards the 3 points area where I used to run into checkpoints, or other areas outside of Tucson where they have checkpoints.
There was this one time about 2 years ago when I drove to Kit Peak to go check out the Telescopes. I wasn't in a hurry, and no cars were behind me. So at the checkpoint I decided to have a little fun. As soon they started asking me questions I started speaking a little German to them instead of English, and the guy had this confused look on his face. He was probably thinking > What the hell do I do with this guy he doesn't speak English, and I don't speak German
As a Hispanic born and raised in the United States this man makes me proud..!!
Thank you for exposing more government tyranny!!!
I'm very uncomfortable with these border patrol practices in the same way this gentleman is. There must be a better way.
I will always record ANY encounters with law enforcement from ANY branch, simply because people will believe a LEO's claims without ANY supporting evidence, whereas I need a mountain of evidence to convince people I'M telling the truth.
Thanks Terry. You did the initial work for the rest of us to film government officials. YOU DA MAN
We need a checkpoint at the border not inside a us!
Road pirates looking for revenue. Bullying for profit to expand their agency.
Thank you for standing up for our rights!
I can't imagine the stress of going through that checkpoint day after day
Ticketed for Contempt of cop, or in other words failure to lick boots!
Awesome video. thank you. We citizens must must fight for our liberties and rights. Border patrols have no right to question us. We’re still in a free country
Thank you for doing this video. You are a very good American. Thank you,
You are so true and right on spot on these illegal checkpoints being treated like s second class citizen is unlawful and a shame to have to endure this BS
I sure hope you sue the union for slander/liable.
I like this gentleman and the interviewer a whole bunch.
I wish I could thumbs up this video a million times! This what they fear the most. A well educated citizen sticking up for the constitution. He should have sued the unions for defamation of character since he had done nothing wrong. I just can't send a letter to your employer saying you are a child molester.
The individuals who harassed this man are in violation of Federal Criminal law. 18 USC 241.
Congress need to get rid of internal border check points there's no need for them.
"They were only following orders" hmmmmm I remember someone else used that excuse before. I hope all those agents get identified.
The DUI checkpoints should be illegal, too. Driving down the road is insufficient probable cause of suspecting someone of a crime.
agreed
Yeah, I mean why not just park in bar parking lots?
I have seen a few of this mans videos and keep a camera in my car as well for this very reason. My wife has had officers lie on the stand and it is your word versus theirs, wonder who will win. Well I paid the ticket, so I guess it was not us.
Chris Does What what a cop says is not admissible in a court of law.
The only way to hold pigs accountable is to have video surveillance of the encounter.
Praise Terry! Your a true blue American. You touched some very important problems with today's law enforcement and they need more accountability.
You are my hero Terry. Keep up the good work.
SCOTUS: "You need a reason to pull that guy over."
LE: "What if we just stop everyone?"
SCOTUS: "Yeah that's fine."
Hahaha. Very true.
If the post in the local paper that there I will be a check point, then they can pull you over. That’s how they get around it. By you knowing it is there and you go there, you are giving consent. It’s the same with road blocks looking for drunk drivers.
@@johnbattista9519 That's bullshit. They can be there because the courts have determined they can be there. They are not consensual encounters.
USSA - POLICE STATE IN ACTION!
'They charged me with two criminal misdemeanors during that encounter for disobeying the orders of a law enforcement officer directing traffic and for refusing to provide identification'.
This guy is not the property of this law enforcement officer.
NO EMPLOYEE WAS GRANTED POWER OVER US!
FUCK HIS BADGE, HE IS A TERRORIST!
DOMESTIC ENEMIES MUSTBBE ERADICATED BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!
TYRANNY BY 'COP' IS ALSO A FELONY... SUE HIM IN CIVIL COURT!
Terry Brasee is a patriotic hero putting himself at risk and peril to defend our constitutional rights. He is a legendary American and we should all aspire to his example.
That is RETALIATION and all officers involved should fired and their Law Enforcement abilities revoked!
I just went through something like this. I feel his frustation.
Good to know that there are people out there doing this.
DUI checkpoints are illegal now in my state WA. Clearly unconstitutional.
I was harrassed by these agents along this same stop outside of a Reservation,Organ pipe national monument,Kit peak,they have no right to do this kind of behavior on innocent folks it's wrong! At one point a federal agent started unlocking his pistol holder clip thing in an apparent effort to scare us into submission as if I was hiding something! I explained to all of them we were citizens and this vehicle was a rental who knows who rented it last! They failed to find the mass of drugs they were looking for because we weren't Drug smugglers or anything like that at all but visitors to Kit Peak which we no longer visit because of that particular Border Stop! 2 hours I will never get back! Talk about a non sense at the border check stop! Again nothing to hide but so damn tired of these stops everywhere!
I love this guy. True American hero. America needs more informed Patriots like him
+Bob Shizl
A true American Backstabber along with the ACLU Lawyer he directed me to and the former FBI Agent, Micheal German who now works at the ACLU fighting Domestic Terrorists and forgetting about Constitutional Rights when it's convenient.
Tried to get YOU fired? It all starts at the top then rolls down the other side.
It is time for the ACLU to address this issue. What the "permanent temporary" interior Border Patrol (BP) checkpoints do is prove that the BP is ineffectual at/along the border. Either the BP is effective at the border, in which case the interior checkpoints are unnecessary and excessive; or the BP at the border is ineffective, in which case it either needs to be strengthened (by returning the interior BP agents to the border), or it needs to be eliminated (since BP management has been playing this weasel game for so long that the BP bargaining unit has been enervated and emasculated). If anyone with brains and determination is reading this, make this an issue; perhaps a presidential issue for 2020.
FORGET the ACLU. Their justice fighting days are way behind them. Now they just take in the donations and stash the money in off shore secret accounts.
One thing I've learned over the years is that many cops do not like or they simply resent intelligent people. Always easier to due battle with them when you are not in their grips...writing letter, posting videos, et al.
This is ridiculous and we as Americans shouldn't tolerate this. We need more people like this guy and should be exposing this more, and if you find yourself in that job you should remember the people you promised to protect
Good job in defending our constitutional rights
Very sad that anything like this is necessary here in "the land of the free."
During a Terry stop or suspicionless "checkpoint" stop . . .
"the officer may ask the detainee a moderate number of questions to determine his identity and to try to obtain information confirming or dispelling the officer's suspicions. But the detainee is not obliged to respond."
Berkemer v. McCarty, 468 U.S. 420, 439 (1984).
Aaron, an Inland Checkpoint is NOT the same as a "Terry Stop" and has nothing to do with an illegal "search". The job of these agents is to catch ILLEGAL aliens, or those who refuse to ID as US CITIZENS. It amazes me how you think that the US has no immigration law, or doesn't ENFORCE immigration laws. You certainly have the right to refuse to say you are a US citizen, at which time you will be LEGALLY detained for AS LONG as it takes to determine your citizenship and it is ALL legal. Maybe you can explain to the rest of us how these agents are supposed to know who is, or is NOT a US citizen WITHOUT stopping them???
@@MrTigre6 Are you crazed? Border laws are applicable at the border hence the name. You have a right to privacy and a right to travel without molestation guaranteed by the constitution. These agents are supposed to find a better way if they are interested in finding out who is who.
@@mozarth , You really are incredibly stupid. The UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT ruled inland checkpoints 100 per cent legal !! By the way, Genius, tell us all how the agents are supposed to know who is, and is NOT a US citizen WITHOUT talking to them?? Man, can't you fuckin read???
No, the person certainly has the right to remain silent, at which time said person "shall be detained for as long as it takes to determine citizenship" and the detainment is 100 PER CENT LEGAl.
@@mozarth , hey, where is your reply?? You claim a "right to privacy" . NOPE, not when it comes to CITIZENSHIP. You either are a citizen, have a visa, or passport, or GO TO JAIL. As far as the "right to travel without molestation"...WRONG, the US does not allow an ILLEGAL alien to "travel anywhere" in the US illegally. Yeah, Mozart, you forgot President Trump is in office. So stick your" theory" up your ass!!
Excellent, I watched it twice!! I am a firm believer in The United States Constitution and governments (including law enforcement) operating within the confines of it!!! Today, more than ever, citizens need to know their rights!!!
Bravo
Glad to hear a man speak up.
It's perfectly understandable why these agents are assholes. They're supposed to be. You need to have psychopathic tendencies just to get that job. The perfect DHS/checkpoint agent is someone who is borderline mentally ill, but not so ill that he or she can't function. Just well enough to show up to work on a regular basis and execute orders with no empathy or independent rational judgement.
You don't have to be a psycho to get hired; they don't even test for that... unlike most police agencies.
And you can't get promoted without mistreating people.
Bourne Accident You are horrifically wrong.
James Hawkins Nice. Take a shot, don't explain yourself. All I can say is that you seem quite horrific as well.
Bourne Accident Don't hate on psychopaths like that. These people are too unintelligent and irrational to be psychopaths.
***** I didn't call anyone mentally ill. I simply noted that they're too irrational to be psychopaths.
I've enjoyed this guy's videos he has posted on youtube for some time now. He has responded to several of my posts. I think he's done a good job. With such an open border in the desert, why would smugglers travel along a highway that they know has a checkpoint.
If people refuse to answer their questions, the BP has no legal way to make you answer.
Border Patrol is absolutely necessary on the border, however I really disagree with these interior checkpoints. I quit my employment with the Border Patrol for this reason. I just did not agree with these checkpoints constitutionally and I did not feel comfortable being deployed to them. It's very important to stand up for your rights, however, I did wish many of you who understand this, would also understand the importance of protecting your 2nd amendment rights. However you feel about firearms, you need to understand that RIGHT protects the other rights. If you give away that right, I assure you they will strip you of the rest. We've seen it all throughout history. Please understand this and educate your children. Every government moves to take away your rights. The 2nd amendment keeps them at bay
Every action those cops took after his arrest for questioning him, is nothing more than retaliation. This guy knows the law, he questioned them on it and it hurt their feelings. And what a bunch of low-life’s trying to get him fired….for merely asserting his rights. Wow.
In country check points coming to an area near you !
Thank you sir, this stuff is really getting out of hand, We as a nation half to stand up against the government treating us like we have no rights and they can do what they want when they want in the name of keeping us safe
"Thanks for having us."
"Thank you for... having me."
The existence of those checkpoints are a violation
Last time the border patrol officer wanted to know where I was going, I said that's none of your business and he didn't like my answer.
I hardly recognize the country that I grew up in. We are becoming more and more like North Korea every day.
Great video, thanks for sharing. Please show us the outcome and if you need funds, start a go-fund me as I will contribute to help stop these thugs. When our elected officials will not hold these crooks in uniform accountable and bring them in line, we need too. If that means with force, then that is what we have to do.
"Are you a US citizen"
I'm not authorized to make that legal determination. Sorry I can't help. :)
I work for the US Border Patrol. I despise checkpoints. The biggest problem we have is Democrats. We used to just wave people through the checkpoint unless there was some obvious violation of law. Democrats didn’t like that most of the people getting arrested were of Mexican descent. The Democrats mandated via legislation and court cases that we harass everyone coming through the checkpoint. This problem isn’t going to get fixed by recording the peons. This problem is going to get fixed by voting for politicians that are not corrupt. Which essentially means never voting for Democrats.
we the people need to take our country back....
More evidence that the police state of America is evolving.
She is gorgeous and a great interviewer. Loved this episode
The Supreme court has ruled on this already Martinez-Fuerte appealed his conviction, and the Government appealed the granting of the motions to suppress in the respective prosecutions of Jiminez-Garcia and of Guillen and Medrano-Barragan. [Footnote 4] The Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit consolidated the three appeals, which presented the common question whether routine stops and interrogations at checkpoints are consistent with the Fourth Amendment. [Footnote 5] The Court of Appeals held, with one judge dissenting, that these stops violated the Fourth Amendment, concluding that a stop for inquiry is constitutional only if the Border Patrol reasonably suspects the presence of illegal aliens on the basis of articulable facts. It reversed Martinez-Fuerte's conviction, and affirmed the orders to suppress in the other cases. 514 F.2d 308 (1975). We reverse and remand.
Good carry a copy of this it was sent back to the lower court because the ninth circuit is full of communists
Why carry it? Nobody has to read it. I'd just ask for what reason do you suspect that I'm not a citizen?
dlhvac1 yes other countries this is how the opposition acts
We're "just a bunch of checkpoints" fuck "the law"
@constitutional Corner
Where did you find this information?
Mad respect yo! True patriotism. Thank you also for the work you do in the field of astronomy. That knowledge enriches the whole world.
6:30 A check point assumes your guilt and demands that you prove your innocence.
Which covers Border Patrol check points and TSA check points! If they do not have reasonable suspicion, simply by what they see, smell or hear, they should not be stopping and checking you.
This is worse than an Iron Curtain cause it keeps moving and follows you around
Keep doing the things you do bruh. Expose those punks.
just like walmart, trying to get out of the store..
"can i see your receipt?"
But that’s private, as soon you get in to the store you’re subject to their policies, period.
@@JCarlosMois ORLY? you cannot be compelled to show a receipt. you own said receipt, and you own what you paid for at the moment of transaction, burden of proof falls on the accuser, being on private property changes 100% jack squat on that topic. what if, their policies was selling your kidneys? holding you over night? something non

@@bpdp379 that is a very valid option.
I got held up at one of checks when I cracked up laughing as the agent, who had a thicker accent than Ricky Ricardo, asked where I was born.
