The motto of our modern police state is, “if you’re not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear.”
That has always been known as the voice of Totalitarianism.
Ping for later.
Officer,
“if you’re not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear”
of me videotaping you doing your job.
Ha! And more than a few authoritarian freepers.

Is that whole video footage of various people resisting questions of citizenship at the US/Mexico border? I didn’t watch the whole video, it seemed to get repetitive after a while.
My lessons learned.
You only responses should be,
“Am I being detained?”
“What is your probable cause for detaining me?” (Challenge it with his/her next in charge.)
“Am I free to go.”
Along with me, many believe that if the officer turns away from you ^without further instructions^, you are free to go. If they call you back, YOU ARE BEING DETAINED and they will need to either explain or obtain a warrant for detaining you.
I’ve asked a LEO (in a semi-social setting) to paraphrase and interpret the 4th and 5th amendment for me. In his case, he couldn’t get past the “paraphrase” part.
This is great, but what happens when this approach doesn’t work and you are yanked out, taken to a room, beaten bloody, and forgotten about for a day or two before being released without charges.
NO, these incidents took place at Border Patrol checkpoints inside the US. Checkpoints are set up on major highways “near” (25-75 miles is their current definition of near) for purposes of checking for illegals and drugs smuggled in from Mexico.
Laws are entirely different for people coming in from another country to the US subject to Customs and Agriculture Inspections and this should not be confused with the checkpoints that are inside the US, and many are located on Interstates. This issue is should authorities be able to stop people traveling within the US.
These are the true freedom-fighters in America. This is not a small thing, it is THE thing. The Supreme has ruled that to maintain your rights you must at ALL TIMES be a “belligerent claimant,” in other words: Submission is capitulation.
Yes. Don’t say much because they do it all day every day, so you will not be lawyerly enough to say clever things.
Am I being detained?
What is your probable cause?
Do you have a warrant?
Am I free to go?
Keep it simple and don’t back down.
How strange. What is the rationale for having another checkpoint after the first one at the border?
The right to bear Hyper-Velocity arms... The only way to kill an Observer!!!!
