Good post. Those short YouTube videos can distort the facts and I believe this one did.

I think that many are loosing for real issue here. It does not matter if this were a border checkpoint, a sobriety checkpoint, a checkpoint at the airport or anywhere else. If you:

1. Don’t follow or acknowledge any instructions by the checkpoint officers.
2. Ask or demand the officers to prove their reasonable cause for searching you.
3. Debate and argue with the officers.
3. Continue items 1 through 3 PERSISTANTLY while resisting the checkpoint officers.

It will not lead to a happy ending. Period. This individual’s actions DIRECTLY influenced how the agents treated him. If he only just followed their instructions, he would be on his way in minutes and all would be well. But NO, he did not.

Pastor Anderson claims to have traveled through the checkpoints many times and always followed the same routine before deciding to tape them, it seems these checkpoints border on a violation of our 4th Amendment Rights and can easily lead to abuses.

Two thoughts come to mind, 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions' and 'He who is willing to give up freedom for security deserves neither.'
