DHS Checkpoint Blog Entry 14: Obedience Training
Posted on May 08, 2010 under obedience training | 25 Comments
On November 26th, I was stopped & seized for about the 50th time since the beginning of 2008. The seizure took place at an internal suspicionless Homeland Security checkpoint along Southern Arizona’s SR86 near mile post 146. SR86 is an East-West public highway located over 40 miles North of the border and never intersects the border at any point.
During the stop, Agent Gilmore admitted he knew who I was & all three agents told me I wasn’t being detained. Nonetheless, these facts didn’t stop the agents from refusing to allow me to go about my lawful business, choosing instead to escalate the encounter by requesting that I move to secondary inspection for more intensive scrutiny absent my consent or any articuable suspicion.
While continuing to deny that I was being detained and refusing to allow me to leave, the agents threatened me with arrest for impeding their operations.
After close to eight minutes of being unlawfully detained, a Border Patrol supervisor eventually arrives on-scene and wastes no time in telling me that I’m free to go with no further scrutiny.
Given the circumstances surrounding this extended non-detention, the only reasonable explanation that can be attributed to the agent’s behavior is a desire to train the traveling public to be obedient to the whims of any federal agent with a shiny badge & a gun.
For those of you who actually think the government cares about the border, how many illegal aliens do you think crossed unchallenged 40 miles to the South because three Border Patrol agents were harassing Americans 40 miles to the North at a suspicionless checkpoint?

While I don’t share the determination of the individual that did this video… he is right. They are going against multiple decisions by the Supreme Court meaning it’s illegal. However, they are NOT being repremanded if they are done. That’s a problem.

They can’t because he wasn’t obstructing. Federal law stipulates that force must be used before a obstruction charge can be levied

I agree, put those BPAs in jail for obstruction of the U.S.A Constitution, and the Right to freely travel in your own country.

What a violent authoritarian punk you are ObamaTheCriminal. Wishing lethal violence on those who peacefully exercise their rights makes you a sorry excuse for a human being let alone an American.

This video would’ve been much better if one of the officers grabbed your camera and rammed it down your throat.
What an arrogant douchebag you are. I hope an illegal immigrant makes you suck on a .45 and pulls the trigger.

What’s really amazing to me josacape is that in two years of posting these videos and writing about them on my website and blog in great detail, so far the best counter the opposition has been able to mount against Checkpoint USA is what’s on Shamz24′s channel….

I can only assume shamz24 is extremely obtuse. In his videos, he claims I’ve never acknowledged the fact the Supreme Court ruled in favor of immigration checkpoints in U.S. v Martinez-Fuerte when I do exactly that in this very video.
What shamz24 can’t fathom is that in the same ruling, the court placed stringent limitations on these types of checkpoints, limitations the Border Patrol routinely exceeds making their operation unconstitutional.

I just wasted my time watching your videos, thanks. Now I feel like going on every CheckpointUSA video and ‘Counter Counter Shamz24′ responses, but instead of his stupid opinions I’ll use Facts or maybe I wont and just do a stupid video like yours about nothing.

bravo. good for you. this is nothing but jack-booted thuggery, intimidation and control. you’re doing a public service showing how simple it is for a citizen to stand his ground and keep his freedom and dignity.

If I didn’t post it, how would they know to search for “Counter Checkpoint USA” Shamz24?
I notice your video is a little light on facts along with applying what little facts you do present to the specific circumstances I refer to in my videos & articles. If you need some pointers on how to back up your statements with pertinent facts, feel free to visit my website and blog.

If you really want the truth regarding checkpoints see my video:
Your videos have been fun Terry but it’s time your propoganda ended and the poeple of this country were given the facts regarding the law so they can see you are nothing more than a misinformer crying for people to see things your way… Dont know if he’ll post it here so just search Counter Checkpoint USA.

Unwantwho the border patrol was doing an illegal job, this guy stood up for not only his 4th amendment rights but yours as well, common law does not usurp the constitution, and these border patrol agents did not have any reasonable suspicion to suspect that this guy was here illegally, he did NOT have to tell them he was a U.S citizen.

When you first started making these videos, I was a fan. Now I see that you just enjoy harassing them and filming it to make some sort of “point”. No wonder they all know who you are. You’re shocked?

You are the one who wants a massive federal government with tyrannical powers. You move to China. Our country was founded on the beliefs this man is trying to protect. If you don’t like our heritage and freedom you leave.

@blomesoft
The man in this video is protecting our country from domestic tyrants unlike the servicemen in Iraq who are CREATING hatred and making the United States a more dangerous place to live. I feel truly sorry that you have family members who were conned into fighting that terrible war and that you also lack the common sense to know that this man is the one truly standing for our country.

@uwantwho
Stop being a spineless little sheep. Go read the bill of rights. Learn what logic and reason is. Nazi’s were “just doing their job.” Terrible logic, in fact it is such bad logic it insults everyone that reads it. I feel angered knowing that such a stupid American exists.
A cop must have reasonable suspicion that a man is an illegal imigrant or that he has committed someother crime to stop him here. This man is exercisinghisrights and I hope he sues them for unlawful detainment/kidnap.
