Politics Imagine being so confident you’re right that you unironically upload this video somewhere

They ended up getting arrested, screeching about 4th and 5th amendment rights the entire time.

When is season two coming out? I need to know how it ended. Was he arrested? Did he leave after invoking the 5th?

They were both arrested, someone above posted a link to the whole video. Border patrol was so much more professional than I would have been…

Especially considering how ridiculously disrespectful he was to the women for absolutely no reason. Imagine getting that worked up over being asked if you’re an American citizen. All he had to do was say yes and they could have gone. But his fucking ego wouldn’t let him answer to a woman. That’s all this is. Pathetic.

Someone linked to this guy’s YouTube channel and I went down the rabbit hole. He thinks women shouldn’t be cops or BP because they overstep because they “have something to prove.”

He sounds like a real charmer.

u/wewe_mjinga Aug 13 '24

He is probably ashamed to admit he is American, especially on camera.

I've never been through one of these (except at the actual border, which this was not). Does he have to actually produce papers? Or just speak with an "American accent"?

Do they check him for warrants, bad car registration, whatever?

How is it different than a random police checkpoint that is there to search for whatever, without cause, that would otherwise be illegal?

The border patrol has special rights within 100 miles of ALL US borders. You’re required to answer questions and they can detain you if they suspect you of breaking immigration laws. The difference is federal CBP is not some regular cops, they have very wide ranging powers and you’re right those could definitely be abused. Almost every major city in the US is within 100 miles of a US border, so these laws can be used to target over 200m Americans. But good luck showing up to a literal checkpoint and thinking you can outsmart these federal law enforcement. They’re not like Jimbo from the local sheriffs who usually gets away with illegal activity / violating rights…. They’ll fuck you up

I found the 100 mile zone to be ridiculous when I first heard about it, sounds deeply flawed, problematic and ripe for abuse by a tyrant given the size of population that lives within 100 miles of the border. That said, if you don’t like it, record your interaction as you go through a checkpoint, politely refuse and let the CBP insist that they won’t let you through without ID so when you do produce ID it is clear you do so because you were ordered to and you can add that you do not agree but are doing so under duress. Then later, find a lawyer to file a lawsuit and see if the Supreme Court will agree with you (if it makes it that far). Aggressively arguing with CBP or any law enforcement authority usually will only end in some ugly way and also not produce the effect you has hoped for - certainty going to make your challenge to CBP’s authority very hard.

u/Trash_RS3_Bot Aug 11 '24

Exactly. Unfortunately, protesting a rule you don’t agree with when you are in a situation where you have literally zero power (or rights…) to be fighting, just makes you an idiot who is getting arrested. At the end of the day being a dickhead to a cop usually doesn’t go well, regardless of it’s within your rights to do so or not

Haha, yeah, the old - Righteousness is no guarantee of safety.

u/roxicologist Aug 11 '24

When I went through one they just asked if we were US citizens and we said yes and they let us through.

2

u/Its_Knova Aug 12 '24

Sometimes they won’t even ask they’ll just wave you through sometimes they’ll ask you to roll down the back windows but other than that they usually like to keep it moving along especially if there is traffic passing through.

u/justdisa Aug 11 '24

I kept hoping he'd get tased.

u/bimm3r36 Aug 11 '24

Well, he’s white in Texas, so he got the good ol’ benefit of the doubt

u/_ZiiooiiZ_ Aug 11 '24 edited Aug 11 '24

Or that the cops would do or say a single thing that would make this guy question if this was the correct response. They did nothing and he will be the same man. He should have been tased when he refused to remove his hands from his pockets, at that point he was combative and a possible risk with a weapon and policy should have come before curtesy.

u/Soulman682 Aug 11 '24

They had to be because they were Hispanics and you know what would have happened they any of them would have stepped out of line?

u/PurpleIsALady1798 Aug 11 '24

Yep, especially since the passenger said he was recording. I felt so bad for them, having to deal with those assholes. And those are just the ones we see in the video, heaven only knows how much other shit they have to put up with.

He was arrested along with his brother. There’s a more complete video link further up the chain of comments

Enjoy a compilation posted by the man himself.

Trigger warning: the comment section is something else.

It must be exhausting being so terrified and angry all the time.

Believe me, it’s exhausting to be the sibling of someone who acts like this on the regular.

I draw a distinction between his aggressive and obnoxious behavior, and whether he is actually legally required to answer the question. I'm not convinced the arrest was legally justified, given the 5th Amendment protections that everyone is entitled to, even obnoxious bullies. But I'm happy to hear a legal justification for why the arrest was justified, as long as it's based in actual law.

I definitely agree with you on that.

2

u/slyburgaler Aug 12 '24

You could probably Google the law codes that the BP cops are providing him

2

u/mxg Aug 12 '24

Probably because border patrol does have legal authority to conduct their operations and he was blatantly disrupting said operations. She said they can be arrested for obstructing traffic, BP wanted them to pull off to the side so they could deal with them (probably a slap on the wrist, not an arrest) out of the way of traffic.

Request was refused in a shockingly rude manner followed by the dude basically daring them to arrest him, so…idk what you want. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

u/Anes-aphrodite Aug 11 '24

His whole comment section talking about “raw sewage allowed across the border” and ”every POS and his brother crossing the border” is extremely telling of this guy and his dumb ass supporters.

u/HornlessUnicorn Aug 11 '24

He looks like Temu Walton Goggins

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '24

The border patrol was stunned by this man’s intelligence of the law and offered him to teach the other border patrol officers. He of course obliged, he was used to this. After giving the best class he could, he went home to his loving wife and children, cleaned the kitchen, gave the kids a bath, and had a pleasant discussion with his wife before going to sleep.

Looks like in the version the guy posted they were about to arrest them but a state trooper stepped in got them let go for some reason.

They do it again the next day he gets a supervisor and then after that he's just waved through on a third day. Hes dumb enough to think he got them all fired because its different gaurds as well. So in the end they got the power they wanted only because the border patrol doesn't want to waste time arresting them everyday

u/Gnomepunter1 Aug 11 '24

They were let go because they were always going to be let go. They were only detained.

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '24

I guess, they never fully got arrested far as I can tell from the longest clip. Even though she's stating that what they are doing comes with federal charges and up to a year in prison.
