Love to. When you enter an airport screening area, you agree to subject your possessions and yourself to search if you wish to board a plane. You can still refuse but then you will not be allowed to board the plane.

Driving is a priviledge and when you receive a license, you agree to obeying all traffic regulations. Observing and stopping at checkpoints are part of the traffic regulations. However, that does NOT mean you agree to search of your vehicle without probable cause and give up your 4th amendment right, which protects you against unreasonable search and seizure.

In the 2nd video, the one that you commented that you would have 'automatically discharged your .44', the driver knew the law and his rights, that's why he beat those brainless goon border patrols.

The winning argument, or rather the argument that would have held the most water, for the border patrol could be something like this:

Sir, 98% of the people passing through here roll down their windows and answer questions in a non-defensive manner. Your behavior is far different, therefore, it is raising suspicion and that gives us probable cause.

Instead, the idiot at one point said something like 'Well you could be a terrorist' which made him look like the fool that he is.


The fact is we need more people like this that understand the law and know their rights to counterbalance the agregious abuse of power that some law enforcement perpetuates. People like baddog really are puzzling because they blindly support this abuse of power and that erodes civil liberties, even their own.


As for the pastor, I don't have a definitive opinion as to what happened because he was unfortunate to not have had a camera. However, even if 80% of what he says is true, to cut up the guy's face like that is excessive force no matter how you slice it. And believe me, if the guy in the 2nd video didn't have a camera, that shit would have gone much differently.
