A shocking video posted to youtube Monday shows what life in a police state looks like. A family was on their way back from a doctors appointment when they drove through a checkpoint that was staffed by tyrants.
Rick Hebert was simply traveling through the checkpoint and lawfully refused to tell the agents where he was going. This checkpoint was well inside the US border on Highway 89 North.
At these constitutionally questionable checkpoints, you are not required to answer the agents questions (usually starting with Are you a United States citizen?). Nor can the agents require you to consent to any searches.
Apparently the agents at this checkpoint are unaware of the constitution.
This man simply asserts his rights and is subsequently assaulted and kidnapped in front of his 4-year-old son and wife. The video is horrifying.
"I wonder if he was stopped in the "Constitution-Free" Zone?"
Federal regulations give U.S. Customs and Border Protection authority to operate within 100 miles of any U.S. "external boundary." The U.S. Constitution still applies, though the fourth amendment does not apply fully at our borders.
But you're saying the U.S. Constitution does not apply to those citizens living within 100 miles of our border? Wow! I did not know that.
You don't see the flaw in YOURS??? That the U.S. Constitution does not exist within 100 miles of the border?
"Not only is the expectation of privacy less at the border than in the interior, the Fourth Amendment balance between the interests of the Government and the privacy right of the individual is also struck much more favorably to the Government at the border."
