Speaking of detention without cause...is that legal? I remember being taught in elementary school that the officer always needs to give cause. Presumably that was based on the 6th Amendment — “to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation”.
It's not supposed to be legal and that is what Pastor Anderson was claiming, of course the BP Agents claim they had probable cause because THEY said they did, and they said their dog was acting funny around the car, of course how can you beat that reasoning?
They all knew Pastor Anderson because he had to travel through their checkpoints for his business and they know he always gives them hassles about the constitutionality of these check-points so I guess they decided to finally teach him a lesson and that IMHO was why he got tased, after all who follows the Constitution anymore?
