Video: Man Refuses To Comply With Internal Checkpoints

Score one for the Fourth Amendment

Thursday, July 12, 2012

Using the excuse of attempting to apprehend illegal immigrants, Border Patrol agents have set up a network of unconstitutional checkpoints inside the United States. In this video clip, informed citizen Steven Anderson provides a sterling example of how to stand up for your rights and prove that such checkpoints are unenforceable because they violate the 4th amendment.

Traveling through California, Anderson encountered numerous internal checkpoints. When Border Patrol agents attempted to detain him for questioning, Anderson refused, citing his right as an American citizen to “go free on my way.”

The reaction of the officers who blithely expect Anderson to immediately comply with their request for him to to pull over and endure further harassment is stunned silence.

The full exchange, courtesy of SHTF Plan (http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/must-see-video-i-dont-need-to-stop-at-a-checkpoint-to-prove-who-i-am-because-this-is-america_07112012), went as follows.




Anderson: Is this Nazi Germany now, that I have to show my papers?

Officer: It’s a simple yes or no. I need an answer or we can detain you until we figure out whether you’re a U.S. citizen.

Anderson: Well, you know what’s more simple is the fact that my freedom is a little more important than you seem to think. Setting up checkpoints where people have to prove that they’re a citizen is not something that America is supposed to be about. So, I’m not sure if you understand that.

Supervisor enters scene: Grunt

Anderson: Grunt

Supervisor: Just pull up over there (points to line of detained cars)

Anderson: No, thank you… I want to go free on my way. Here I am just going about my own business and I don’t need to stop at a checkpoint to prove who I am because this is America. Correct me if I’m wrong – did I stumble into Mexico or is this still the United States?

Supervisor: This is the United States.

Anderson: Therefore, I should have the freedom to travel unmolested, because I’m in America here.

(pause)

Supervisor: Ok, go ahead and go.

If more people follow Anderson’s example by simply standing up for their rights and refusing to obey unconstitutional demands, freedom can still be salvaged in America.

Make no mistake, on another occasion the Border Patrol agents may have been more aggressive and even attempted to arrest Anderson, but every individual battle in the wider war to restore liberty is worth taking such risks.

This incident represents just one example of a growing trend of informed citizens refusing to comply with the police state that is dependent on their consent to function. Last week we reported on another example of Americans standing up to unconstitutional police behavior when a family refused to allow cops to perform a warrantless search of their garage sale.

Watch a previous clip in which Alex Jones encountered a similar internal checkpoint during which Border Patrol agents demanded to search his vehicle without a warrant.

PS - Now that wasn't too difficult, was it...:)


If more people follow Anderson’s example by simply standing up for their rights and refusing to obey unconstitutional demands, freedom can still be salvaged in America.

Love these videos...! Do you suppose some of those border patrol guys will finally wake up, too?

I remember when I arrived in Erie Pennsylvania by train to encounter 6 border patrol guys coming on before we could get off. I found it pretty annoying....and intimidating.

[Lettherebelight]

Great stuff. What would really be cool is if the guy in the first video actually worked for Border Control and was just making a tutorial video to teach us how we can glide past them.

I'll bet those guys could really show us a thing or two...

Unfortunately the 'Patrol Guys' only tend to Wake-Up after they have slipped off the (Govt - Gravy Train' & Big Brothers/Sisters Teet)...:faint:

Until then - Its 'Shut-Up' & (DO AS YOUR TOLD)..!

In all honesty, when I'm travelling and Run Across or am Confronted by these types - For some reason...

(I just look at them square in the 'EYE', Smile & start Pissing myself LAUGHING :pound: Uncontrollably)

...I have NEVER taken these (Power-Trippers) seriously and NEVER will...:nono:

Non-Compliance...Non-Compliance...:pleasantry:

Here's another example of noncompliance:

Power struggle: Local woman uses gun to stop worker from installing smart meter (http://www.khou.com/news/Harris-County-woman-uses-gun-to-stop-worker-from-installing-smart-meter-162948266.html) (KHOU.com)

Power struggle: Local woman uses gun to stop worker from installing smart meter
By Vicente Arenas | July 18, 2012

Thelma Taormina didn’t want a new electric meter, and she went to great lengths to keep her old one.

When a worker showed up at her northwest Harris County home to install a smart meter, she grabbed her gun.

"He just kept pushing me away," the 55-year-old Taormina, who is licensed to carry a weapon, said. "He saw it, and went back the other way."

CenterPoint Energy has nearly completed installing more than 2 million smart meters in the Harris County area.

But Taormina says she shouldn’t be forced to get one.

The smart meters digitally count kilowatts and wirelessly transmit information.

"Our constitution allows us not to have that kind of intrusion on our personal privacy," she said. "They’ll be able to tell if you are running your computer, air conditioner, whatever it is."

"I am very upset with it," her husband said.

The Public Utilities Commission is now considering allowing homeowners to have the smart meters removed.

Meanwhile, the Taorminas have formed a group called "We the People," which is asking for hearings that could change when and where smart meters are placed.

For now, the Taorminas get to keep their old meter. But that might not last – despite the warning signs they’ve posted at their home.

"We are deeply troubled by anyone who would pull a gun on another person performing their job," a CenterPoint spokesperson said. "CenterPoint will be taking additional steps – including court actions – because what happened is dangerous, illegal and unwarranted."

The Taorminas and the group "We the People" plan to continue asking the PUC to not force people to use the new meters.

A Harris County woman pulled a gun on a CenterPoint Energy worker to prevent the installation of a smart meter in a confrontation that highlights concerns about the devices being used to spy on Americans' energy use, as well as possible health impacts.

55-year-old Thelma Taormina has signs posted on her front gate warning utility employees not to trespass on her land, as well as another that reads, "No smart meters are to be installed on this property."

However, that didn't stop a CenterPoint Energy worker from attempting to replace Taormina's old electricity meter with a new device that wirelessly beams back information on each home's energy use to a central hub.

When the worker began physically pushing Taormina out of the way in an effort to install the smart meter, Taormina drew her gun and demanded the worker leave the property .

"Our constitution allows us not to have that kind of intrusion on our personal privacy," Taormina told KHOU 11 News. "They'll be able to tell if you are running your computer, air conditioner, whatever it is."

No offence Jackovesk, i dont think the first video was a good example of non compliance :S

At the 2nd checkpoint he goes thru you can hear the thug tell someone to run his plates. That would have brought up a photo ID, if he was a citizen, and probably a criminal record.

Willing to bet that if the car was not his (say his parents, perhaps loaned a car from a mate or the such) or if he'd had a note under his name for in the past getting caught with any form of drug, that situation would have gone down the pooper, quickly, and he'd probably be charged with non compliance as well.

The plate check confirmed everything they wanted to know, and *think* they walked a dog by his car as well at some point, the dog would have gone ballistic if he had something.

In the end they achieved what they wanted, they confirmed he was a Citizen via photo id from the plate check, dog diddnt go bonkers as it passed his car, hense let him go.




I just think a better example of non-compliance would have been another video, where a dude was walking down a street with a firearm (holserd, not concealed) and the cops tried to pull him asside and get his ID because someone "called saying they saw a guy walking down the street with a gun" even tho he was fully entitled to do so. He had his gun removed from him tempoarily, but was able to politely give them the finger and continue on his way and they got diddly squat.


I very much like the smart metre one :) How dare he jump the fence to go into her yard! Are they getting paid comission or something per meter they install? (It sounds like it! why else would you jump a fence to put one in rather than putting it in the "too hard" basket and moving on?) Someone should start making a special enclosure of sorts, that can be drilled into the wall around the smart metre. That is too thick to be cut by bolt cutters, and only shows the actual metre bit with persplex/glass (what they need to look at to charge you for power used) and the rest locked off. So if the glass is broken theres no way they can stick their hand in to remove or install another metre, but its not preventing them from reading the metre. Perhaps allow the unit to be opend, but have special locks that are bolt-cutter proof as well.

on the checkpoints: another remedy (I have heard- I am not a lawyer) is be willing to follow thru on non-compliance:

to state to the officers that you do not consent to enter into a business contract with them or to this harassment ; then be sure to get the name and badge number of each officer committing the "offense" and sue them - as individuals and also sue their "company" - for whatever is appropriate (illegal detainment, unwarranted harrasment, whatever)

demand to see their paperwork authorizing them to do the checkpoint;

call 911 for confirmation of 'authorization' or to register a complaint;

every one also has the right to request a department supervisor be on sight to discuss the problem

yes I know it would be a lot more time consuming this way; but if even a few more people took the time to 'clog up the plumbing' they might just get tired of bullying us around
