very fascinating. it seems pretty clear that the agents know they dont have the right to do what they are doing, and once challenged they back down.
could also be that the driver seems obviously to be a native of the US, and maybe they think it just isnt worth the hassle. i wonder if the same result wold have been if the driver spoke with a heavy accent.
scary look at the prison guard mentality in people
Actually the SCOTUS ruled they DO have the right.
The problem is that Border Patrol Agents are not able to only ask people that violate the law questions. It’s called racial profiling. So they have to ask everybody. Unless of course you are me then you only stop people that are violating the law.

I thought that was interesting too. The other thing is that even if they caught illegal aliens, apparently that’s not any hindrance to going your merry way in the US - in fact - it may make you more free than if you were a citizen.
I think inland checkpoints are a waste of everyones time.
