5. Well I would have detained him and had him spread out on the ground....

She is in law enforcement and has the legal right to stop, detain, question anyone she deems is a possible problem to the border crossing... Or anywhere other than the border for that mater. It is not uncommon for people to be pulled over by border patrol away from a border crossing.

7. As I stated in my previous post, border patrol is not limited to just the border...
It is very common for border patrol to pull people over well away from the border and they have the authority to do just that. As a mater of fact I have seen it happen in Lynden Washington just over a year ago.... They had a similar setup to what we saw in this video....

8. You stated also that:
"I would have detained him and had him spread out on the ground"

Why does questioning authority bother you so much?

12. The only mistake (other than his belligerent attitude) was she should have detained him...
There were all sorts of things that she could have done, had she had the confidence to do them... ie: detain him, strip search him, tear his car down looking for contraband and on and on and on.... She was to passive.

14. If you crossed thru any major US border crossing and you are suspected of...
carrying contraband they can do all of those things and more.... They have Federal authority to protect the country from those that might do harm.

4. I missed it to,, acting like that is going to solve the Problem.
It will just give law breakers more cover.

9. Uhhh...she let him go...
...real "safe" eh?

Also, she's not entirely sure where his rights as a citizen begin and where they end.
Incompetence is not a forgivable offense if you ask me.

11. She should have understood....
...where a citizens rights begin and her's, as an officer, ends.

She did not.
Incompetence is not a good thing.

17. For what?
You people are so inundated with a subservient attitude no wonder this country is now a fascist dictatorship.

18. Did you not see I asked it as a Question ?
"So she should have detained him?"
I surely don't see the need to Detain him, anymore than the need to make a difficult job harder, for no other reason than giving Law-Breakers Cover. Its You People who do that.

15. Stupid as the day is long!
Usually one has to go to a pre-school playground to see such behaviour.

16. K&R. This is what everybody should do. Give them NOTHING!
They have no business asking any questions. This guy is getting back to the fundamentals as we all should start thinking about doing.
