I guess anyone questioning the constitutionality of unconstitutional searches are jerks.
I guess there are too many of the non-jerks who willingly submit to unconstitutional acts of government agencies to render the constitution irrelevant. Proof of this is evident in the comments of many of our politicians that the government can do anything and ridiculing those of us who still believe in the brilliance of those who on the FR of all places are now called jerks.
What has been missed or ignored by so many on this thread is the government thug was going to use whatever force possible to harass the people in the RV because they were taping the actions of government officials.
I had the JBT types demand a search of my RV at Mr. Rushmore using bomb sniffing dogs. Well folks, just like any human who works for the government the dogs were too lazy to ID all the LEGAL fireworks packed into the RV. /sarcasm as I am sure the dogs were looking for another type of explosive.
I only wished I had demanded a search warrant DETAILING what was being searched for BECAUSE as all of you have missed here, if the occupants of the RV allowed this search without a warrant anything which was found could be used against them and it would not be limited to fruits and vegetables.
If you give consent to be searched without a warrant you are a jerk because you have exposed yourself to just about anything the JBTs want to drum up.
One more point! If it is soooooooooo important to inspect for fruits and vegetables (and I don’t doubt there is SOME need) why do the very same JBTs continue to allow the 3rd world sewer traffic over the Southern border? Do you think these law breakers have made sure they are not importing some dangerous bug?
Sure, I can hear the conversation right now: Jose, we are going to sneak over the border tonight to get welfare, free health care, free education, make sure you bring the drugs but by all means make sure you don’t bring that damned orange.
