Not sure why the boarder patrol sets up so far inland, but they do it routinely here in AZ.
Years ago the we'd take the kids and the toy hauler down to Rocky Point on the Gulf of Calif. and park right on the beach.
Now it's all time share Condo's and it's lost its appeal.
I'm still lost...you mean that the BP will set up across a highway, 35 mi from the border and stop every car just like they do at the border ? If that's what they do then I'm glad I ain't no Mexican or darky ( LOL..had to throw that in, funny stuff ), that would suck and it really calls all our civil rights into question, no matter what shade ya are. Stay away from Arizona Kev, they'll definitely be ******' with you.
Damn..where does all this lead to, it surely isn't stopping illegals or terrorists ? Wonder if anybody has kicked up a big fuss and what the results were if they did ?
I couldn't stand it, had to look it up.
Terry Bressi lives in Southern Arizona and has videotaped about 250 checkpoint experiences where he's refused to answer Border Patrol questions. “It really is a smack across the face of any liberty loving American," said Bressi, who writes the blog CheckpointUSA.org.
“The courts have decided that because they are such a brief intrusion upon a person’s liberty, privacy and interests that it is constitutional,"
But Bressi disputes that. He claims the checkpoints are unconstitutional because the Supreme Court ruled they should be used only for immigration purposes.
He believes the question — “are you an American citizen?” — is actually a ruse used by the Border Patrol to get drivers to stop, be scanned, tracked, recorded and sniffed by drug dogs, which he said are all violations of the Constitution.
“It’s not border security, it's internal security," Bressi said.
If you go back now and look at that u-tube, it makes more sense. The guy set that all up and it backfired. Notice how he adamantly pronounced his citizenship..a little late. They still didn't have the right to arrest him though.
