Proper way to legally refuse unconstitutional checkpoints

link

This is a brilliant video. It's hilarious the expression on these people's faces when they know the guy knows they have no authority.

Nevermind................

People should know their rights..............

Very good.  Those checkpoints have no place in America.  

Sooooo, drive the border patrol insane? :PSajo7

Every time I watch these videos I feel the same...I sort of admire what they are trying to do, but still find the makers of the videos to be unbearably annoying.SaintLeonidas

Why?

"Am I being detained" is like the most basic and important legal question you should ask any authority figure. If they say no you can just walk away and tell them not to waste your time.

It makes my day when authoritarians are taken up a notch.

Why?

If you've got nothing to hide, you shouldn't cause problems.

The end.

Seen a bunch of these, I'm prepared.

Would be far more effective if that dude didnt have a whiny voice.  Had he a little more base in that voice, the border patrol would have been impressed and said, "on your way son".

Why?

I didn't see anyone being pompous.  Even if you think that some of the drivers are, that's a very small issue in comparison to the bigger one that this video highlights.  Get over it and respect what their actions stand for.

Of course

The same way a firewall would cause a problem.

Heuristscs.

Waste of time.

If they want a "firewall," it shouldn't be 50 or 100 miles inside the US.  If immigration stopped me and asked me any questions, I'd ask them "Am I immigrating somewhere?"

Would you waste time?

I don't see it as a waste.  They have no right to set up checkpoints like these.  If everyone just laid down like you suggest, we'd be in really bad shape.  I think we already are, but it would be even worse.  The fact is that a border patrol agent or cop who would participate in these "checkpoints" is a criminal, not the person in the car.

This is where you are wrong.  They are taking the videos so they can show people how to respond to these situations.  They are also doing it because it's the right thing to do if you care about your constitutional rights and don't want to live in a police state.

I see I hit a nerve.  Like most mindless, soulless minions of society, you turn to memes and catchy .gifs to try to regain some sort of footing when you have no point to make.

I belive they have the authority to create checkpoints.  Now....

I never suggested everyone lay down.

You prove those who have been appointed to protect us are criminals.

After, tell me why anyone would have any reason to attempt to hide anything.

You forgot the part about how our tax dollars pay for them to do this garbage.  You also seem to have forgotten the part about how police need probable cause to detain specific persons for a reason.  This is the equivalent of declaring martial law on the highway for an extended period of time because you know that "some people smuggle drugs or illegal immigrants in this general area."  Obviously that's not legit.

If one were so cynical...

What is the US Constitution in place for?

Never read the constitution, never claimed to.  Everything I have said is in text.

Ok.  Well, go read it.  Take a look at the Federalist Papers too.

No thank you.

Your choice.  If you don't, you really have no right to have this debate.
