I want to add when BP is locked out or not allowed to travel a private road they still legally have access, but cannot take a vehicle into the restricted property.
BP needs to do more training before they send the agents out in the field. Most show up acting as though they personally own everything and can do as they please. The BP that have been on the job for a while understand having manners and getting along.
I respect and appreciate the BP, as most people I know on the border do. We see first hand how hard most of them work and what a dangerous, thankless job it is. There are always a few bad apples and more training of new agents would help most of the hard feelings.
“I want to add when BP is locked out or not allowed to travel a private road they still legally have access, but cannot take a vehicle into the restricted property.”
That’s exactly the game the bribed ranchers play. “why sure Mr. BP, you can come check the border. Its 7 miles that way... on foot. You cannot drive down the dirt 2 track”.
