Wimpy BP. Need firing.

Sounds like the people who think this ‘show me your papers’ crap deserve neither liberty nor security.

Send 'em to the Norsks or China. They'd fit right in.

[Ronniesque]

Actually four...Highway 94, plus Interstates 8, 15, and 5.
The ones on 15 and 5 are to the north and operate sporadically, probably based on intel and/or random checks.

“Cuff and stuff for interfering with their legal duties”’’’’’

“Obstructing”, let her talk her way out of that one.

[Ronniesque]

On the 15 and the 5, they are collocated with truck weigh stations.

[Inyo-Mono]

OK thanks. I guess I wasn’t paying enough attention to notice the border patrol at the truck weigh stations.

I believe that the SCOTUS has ruled that when a sworn police officer (and that would include federal officers, like ICE) demands to see your identification, you can be detained without arrest, until your identity has been confirmed.

Or am I wrong?

I don’t believe it at all.

[Vendome]

She’s totally right and they are not authorized to pull this.

[Lurking Libertarian]

The Supreme Court ruled this is legal many years ago.

I don't think the issue ever got to SCOTUS, but the 9th Circuit upheld this-- but only within a certain number of miles of the border.

[Mark]

There has to be some probable cause. They cannot simply ask everyone for ID.

TSA-Airport--Every person

[ifinnegan]

Actually she’s right.

[ifinnegan]

Not allowed to chew betel nut in Guam?

[pfflier]

...they demanded to see everyone's documents......................

What part of that is profiling? They specifically asked everyone not selected illegals and SJWs.

[the_daug]

dito! If it had been TSA they would have detained her for a cavity check.

[pfflier]

Really? I have driven north out of San Diego on I-15 numerous times and have never seen a border patrol check point. Maybe I wasn't paying attention.

Just north of Lawrence Welk Village, look up from your cell phone...

[Neidermeyer]

These “agricultural inspection” stations have been nothing but unconstitutional search points for drugs for decades... if they don’t see anything but suspect you’re transporting you can expect to get pulled over down the road for a taillight or crossing the yellow line... guaranteed.

[Ozark Tom]

Chaperone???

[blueplum]

the state-line between Nevada and California is a border - a state border. And within 100 aeronautical miles of the international border.

I get the point about the bus needing a ticket to get on, and so ‘not open to the public’. The leos should have asked the bus driver to debark his passengers.

[USNBandit]

I don’t remember one on the 15. There is one on the 5z.
