Man arrested by Border Patrol...lawful arrest?

The video depicts a man with family pulling up to BP checkpoint. The man ends up arrested. Lawful arrest?

I guess that depends on whether the dog legitimately alerted its handler and, to a lesser extent, if anything was found in the vehicle.

I guess that depends on whether the dog legitimately alerted its handler and, to a lesser extent, if anything was found in the vehicle.

In 2010, a team of researchers at the University of California, Davis set out to test the reliability of drug- and bomb-sniffing dogs.

The team assembled 18 police dogs and their handlers and gave them a routine task: go through a room and sniff out the drugs and explosives.

But there was a twist. The room was clean. No drugs, no explosives.

In order to pass the test, the handlers and their dogs had to go through the room and detect nothing.

But of 144 runs, that happened only 21 times, for a failure rate of 85 percent.

Although drug-sniffing dogs are supposed to find drugs on their own, the researchers concluded that they were influenced by their handlers, and that's what led to such a high failure rate.

Gonna go out on a limb here, but......

1) A Border Patrol checkpoint waaayyy inside the border (sorry, 50+ miles ain't cutting it)

2) You're looking for illegal aliens (hey, that's a blast from the un-politically correct past), and contraband brought over the border

3) Even if the U.S. citizens had drugs on them can you prove they were involved in any freakin' way with the border?

Bottom line? Start using resources to f*****g arrest ILLEGALS and DEPORT them and stop with the federale attitude.



(Yeah, the dude in the video is a douche but see above)

Where was the checkpoint? Where was the driver coming from when he was stopped?

What was found in the vehicle? What were the charges?

If this is an inland "border" checkpoint I have been through similar ones many times in south Texas. I don't agree with them at all and they piss me off. I shouldn't have to stop and answer questions or show anything an hour + north of the border. If you want to check citizenship do that shit on the border.

Another article I read said a small amount of Marijuana was found in the car.

Resources well spent then........ We should have more inland border check points, it's the only way to be sure.

I don't understand what CBP is doing inland. Isn't it up to ICE to take care of investigations further away from border areas?

The supreme court ruled that the checkpoints are legitimate. This is absolutely a lawful detention and if drugs were found, arrest. The only reason he was pulled out of the car, was his refusal to answer simple questions.

The CBP did absolutely nothing wrong there. In fact, when the guy rolled up the window on the CBP agent's arm I thought he showed pretty good restraint from not escalating the issue further as that is a HUGE officer safety issue, and a precursor to how many officers get dragged by cars.

In every video like this, there is always one common denominator, an individual refusing to comply with simple, lawful orders.
