    The dogs aren't trained to bark when they "sense" drugs or illegal material. Anyone that's been asked to have a vehicle searched by Border Patrol or Customs know better than to deny a car search, especially if you know there is nothing to hide.

    Did you say "No, thank you." to the search request with a note of sarcasm in your voice? Because, Texas Baptists are known troublemakers.

    I got bored for a few moments on the first video.


    Then I saw that second one.


    It's called "contrasting".

    What a jackass. What is the BFD if someone wants to check out your car, unless you have something to hide? Not saying it is constitutional, I'll leave that to others.


    If it gets to the point that you've been tased, you probably are an asshole.

    @momof3wildkids:

    The fact is that he was asserting his legal right to not be searched without a warrant. It's in the Constitution, a little thing called the fourth amendment.


    And yeah, I also think bashing a guys head until he needs 11 stitches just because he asserted his legal rights is a bit excessive. Even if he is an annoying Republican preacher.

    "Anti-terrorism checkpoint?" The Border Patrol set up those checkpoints between San Diego and Phoenix years ago, because the area is a major crossing point for illegal aliens.

    @onebadclam: It depends on how you define "stopped", but yes at least everyone has to be waved through. Does that make it any better?

    I sincerely hope that this means Lucifer is taking a more hands on approach in our federal government.

    If a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged, what becomes of a conservative who's had a "laying on of hands" by the state?
