YOU:>> 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? <<
ARTICLE:>> The agents then told Anderson to pull over. He said he sat in his car for an hour before DPS arrived to tell him he was under arrest. <<
What neither you nor the article mention, but what the police say, (and they would have thousands of witnesses) is that he did not PULL OVER, blocking traffic for over an hour, and forcing the cops to divert traffic through a truck inspection station (thus rendering it useless for law enformcement purposes).
Furthermore, the cops state that he never acknowledged the officer talking to him, that he refused to roll down his windows, and that he stared blankly ahead.
The Agents wanted him to pull over into a area specifically set aside for searching vehicles, he refused to do that citing the fact there was no probable cause for him to have to be searched, he just wanted to continue on his way, the Agents would not let him, it was a stalemate and traffic backed up, the BP Agents after an hour or so were told to let him go, it was on the way back that the tazing incident occurred, it was well known by this time by the authorities who Pastor Anderson was, seems to be they were out to teach him a lesson.
