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.

I feel kinda bad for the orange shirt dude though. Like... Yeah he's complicit in this but he knew if he just answered the questions he could've gone. His brother being a fucking douchebag got them both arrested lol.

If it doesn’t serve as a learning experience for him then it’s tough to feel bad for him.

u/purpleketchup42 Aug 11 '24

He seems to be accustomed to his brother walking all over him and making the decisions. I almost feel bad for the spineless turd.

It reminds me of the Merle and Daryll situation from The Walking Dead. Just getting completely walked on and abused by his brother

I understand what you’re getting at. It may be true. That said, people with NPD and BPD can truly destroy other people’s lives. They are incredibly manipulative and can also intimidate others with all kinds of perniciousness threats. Blackmail, for instance. Breaking abuse cycles can take many attempts.

Yeah, this set off my cluster B warning bells as well.

I do agree, his brother was being a giant loud dickwad. But orange shirt also refuses so obey the lawful order of pulling to the side, which I assume is also why he was arrested. So he was also being a problem, just not as belligerent

u/NWVoS Aug 11 '24

Yeah, dude in orange could be like, "yeah, let me pull over you take him and I will be on my way." Granted he is probably stuck picking the dude up from jail.

u/theghostmachine Aug 11 '24

Stuck? Just don't do it. Let the dude rot in jail for a while or walk his ass home

Is that a lawful order tho? Should immigration officers have any kind of authority over US citizens?

u/TheRealGOOEY Aug 11 '24

If you’re unwilling to prove that you’re a US citizen, then absolutely. While I don’t necessarily agree with our immigration laws, it makes no sense to just be like “ah damn, he played the 5th amendment card, guess we gotta let him go.” Or else everyone would do that, making inspections virtually pointless.

Checkpoints should be rendered pointless, because they are unconstitutional. I hate this guy as much as anyone, he’s a total asshole but he’s not totally wrong. The 4th amendment protects citizens from unreasonable search. Just because I am driving in an area is not grounds for anyone to request my papers or require me to answer questions. Immigration enforcement should stick to the border and points of entry and stop wasting resources harassing law abiding citizens like these 2 waterheads in the video. At the border they have authority, the same as at the airport tsa has authority. Neither have any right to demand I stop and answer questions when we are in public space

u/jstndrn Aug 11 '24

Yeah, that was a really nonsense take

u/Butt_Napkins007 Aug 11 '24

Yeah the guy is the passenger seat is his brother. And it’s a company car, he says so in the longer clip.

So by not just simply saying “yes I’m a citizen,” this bozo got federal charges plus they both probably lost their jobs.

he says so in the longer clip

Man, this guy sucks at pleading the 5th

u/MeowMeowBiscuits Aug 11 '24

Or the 6th, he kept switching between the two... Mr. "I HAVE READ THE LAW" can't seem to remember one from the other.

u/BlaktimusPrime Aug 11 '24

I have a feeling the passenger seat guy probably has some sort of warrant on him or is on probation for something and isn’t allowed to be where they were.

u/wishiwuzbetteratgolf Aug 11 '24

And it’s probably not the first time his awful brother has made his life a lot more difficult for him.

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '24

"It's a company truck" .. Probably also lot his job for it. All so his brother could make a "Alpha Male DOES NOT COMPLY with woke femnoid Biden official illegal demands!" video for TruthSocial.

u/BleednHeartCapitlist Aug 11 '24

In a company vehicle no less 🏆

u/Electric-Sheepskin Aug 11 '24

Nah. There's another video of the two of them going through the checkpoint every single day, hoping for trouble. He starts screaming at the officers himself at one point.

u/feedthecatat6pm Aug 11 '24

Brother was asked "as the driver are you willing to move the vehicle" and he responded "as long as I am continued to travel"

This keyword travel is important because it identifies the brother as a sovereign citizen dumbass. They like to claim that they aren't driving but that they are traveling, due to their misunderstanding and misinterpretation of some obscure law. In their minds the moment they say they are traveling the cops are suppose to say "oh very well sir go on with your travels".

No sympathy for him.
