Don't get me wrong, if they were looking specifically for a suspect that committed a violent crime I can understand that...BUT 3 different checkpoints?
I would have to disagree Toejam. Yes, he came off as a bit of an a**, but I can understand. I'm reasonably sure that his adrenaline was probably pumping, heart rate up...etc After all, he is telling an authority "figure" NO, I will not answer your question. This is in direct contradiction to how most people have probably been conditioned to respond their whole life. Myself included. The comparisons to the Nazis may have been a bit much, but its easy for me to armchair quarterback after the fact. At least he maintained some composure...I probably would have been raining down f-bombs once I got started. Ultimately, the cops let him through, without having to answer the question. Makes you wonder just how important or effective those checkpoints actually were? Then again, I could be completely wrong. Cheers
The whole point of these check-points is to catch drivers carrying pot across the CA/AZ border which leads to a $500 ticket/ AZ misdemeanor aka revenue for the state & federal government.
Toejam, check out the guy's youtube channel. He got the beatdown by border patrol pigs last year and put on trial, and found not guilty. He's earned the right to be an "a**hole" in my humble opinion. We should all join him in resistance.
I saw this video before.
ReplyDeleteIn my humble opinion the guy's just being an a**hole.
All he had to do was utter one word: YES
But he acted like a little kid and threw a temper tantrum!
