According to Ranch Rescue, this entire incident was filmed by a team doing a documentary. I say we go to the tape. If there was no rough stuff, I think there's some Texas Rangers that should be in a whole lot of trouble.

I certainly hope that there is provable police corruption!

Foote said the charges are bogus. He said he and his team "never touched" the couple, "except to pat them down and search them for weapons" after discovering them lying down in brush early Wednesday morning around 1 a.m. He says he has pictures to prove it, although they weren't available at publication time.

Actually, this statement is somewhat problematic - the act of patting someone down for weapons implies a citizens arrest, which under Texas law (from what I've read) can only be done upon witnessing a felony. The border groups really need to stick to observation and reporting to the BP instead of making direct contact with illegals, because it puts them in the position of giving politically-motivated LEOs an action against them.

A better resolution could not be had. Always bring a video camera with you to public protests or other events like that--unless you intend to be the ones breaking the law!
