I have lived in Louisiana and currently reside in Houston, and I have never seen a check point.

[@Cloud_Seeker]

I am not sure you are a conservative as you should have recognized that this is propaganda that is meant to advocate for open borders and no searching for illegal immigrants. They take true things but then explain them in misleading and incorrect ways to frame a narrative that border controls are racist and shouldn't be allowed. Like how border agents shouldn't be allowed to stop people they think are illegal mexicans, or how they have to detain people when they refuse to search their cars. When you are refuse allowing them to search you car things just gets much more complicated. Now they have to verify who you are without you helping them to do so. That means they need to contact various agencies and courts to get the right to search your car, and you can't leave while doing this. This means you have to be detained for days or weeks while the slow bureaucracy work. To frame this as racial profiling and malicious acts is extremely dishonest. When you refuse to work with the system, expect the system to be slow.

RIP Fourth Amendment. You were great, while you lasted, but I guess the Founding Fathers didn't actually mean it, when they added you to the Constitution.

[@Cloud_Seeker]

How exactly does anything of this fall under the prohibition of unreasonable searches and seizures? To search someone because you suspect they might be breaking the law is not unreasonable all the time. It can be but to catch crimes you have to be able to do searches on people not doing any crimes. To take someone into custody while processing them such as when they refuse to have their car searched and you think there might be drugs there is not unreasonable. I believe you americans have forgotten what unreasonable actually is. Back in the days people got arrested and forced to work slave labor as a prisoner for years before any trials even start. Sometimes they might just pissed of a noble and get sent to jail when no crimes were done. What unreasonable searches and seizures looks like is when the law enforcement or guards start targeting you for searches knowing that you have nothing and is inocent. When they take you into custody to make sure you miss your flights or to just harrass you are unreasonable. When someone does this it goes against the Fourth Amendment. Setting up a checkpoint with random searches at the border and give you a random search only to have you put into custody because you refuse is not unreasonable. The reason for the checkpoint was resonable. The reason to search you was most likely reasonable. To take you into custody is reasonable. If they suspect you are a drug smuggler they can't leave you in the car with the evidence with cellphone access as you will just dispose of the evidence or warn everyone.

I like how this is what has become of the entirety of the Philippines. They passed a Law that's suppose to counter "terrorism", but anyone in uniform (Police, military etc.) are allowed to detain anyone based off of mere suspicion; And it's guilty until proven innocent, as people are detained for up to 24 days. Recently, a nun who criticized the government was tagged as a potential terrorist so she was detained. A family of Muslims was also stopped because they were "suspicious" due to how they dress and the boxes they brought with them (Even when they show that the boxes were filled with perfumes the police just wouldn't stop checking their stuff). They demanded papers and aggressively kept telling them that they are doing this because they are suspicious, they only stopped when the father showed them that he was an Engineer. They cornered students when they were protesting in their campus, police armed with riot shields and batons. They even detained someone who didn't participate in the protest, because he asked the police why they were doing this; Best part is the police actually didn't know about what violations were done by the students.

Who said the need for those instructions were so great that they had to become a law (as in, “we have such a problem with xx immigrants that we need a law that allows racial profiling without directly calling it that), -> the best thing for everyone would be to eliminate the security theater & create an actual successful system, but so many people buy into the fear mob mentality & refuse to open up to new information or new ideas that it seems like a loss cause.

Zeldagigafan -> I would agree that most of the positions don’t need to be forceful - to have trained personnel search at locations can be needed depending on the items (like to help keep produce from crossing that could cause an outbreak, a major problem that can be prevented from simply asking to see if anyone has any) -> however I do believe a major flaw in the system (there are soo many but here’s just 1) is that lack of knowledge to the public. We love to recite our rights but the truth is most people don’t know them, & when we feel our rights are being broken we get angry & lash out -> causing the situation to escalate more -> “justifying” the need for more evasive search procedures.

@@jamesscott6917 being suspicious isn't a crime though. law enforcement, be they BP, or a patrolman, effectively treating everyone as potential criminals or enemy combatants is a problem. Yes, dangerous people are caught too, and that's an undeniable good, but the presumption of innocence is all but gone now. That's...less good. "You're guilty of something and we're gonna keep you locked up till we find out what it is" is a worrying position for agents of the state, who can legally kill you moving the "wrong" way, to hold- wouldn't you agree?

[@jamesscott6917]

irighterotica a traffic stop isn’t an arrest or imprisonment either. It’s not treating it as a crime, it’s an investigation to resolve REASONABLE SUSPICION of a crime. Law enforcement DOES NOT treat “everyone” as a criminal. No, the presumption of innocence is not gone, the investigation is conducted, the suspicions resolved and the person stopped is released or detained further. No, I don’t agree, because the two scenarios aren’t what happens. Be more realistic and we can discuss it.

[@Cloud_Seeker]

Apart from that they are lying to you. Yes. They can stop you if they think you should be searched, but so can random police officers if they think you are driving drunk. The police do not need a court order to make a sobriety check on you as you will be long gone and sober by the time they get that court order. How exactly are you supposed to catch people that should not legally be in the country when you can't stop them around the border and can't ask who they are? Are you not allowed to follow people and pull them over if they just happen to turn tail and run when they see a checkpoint? Should the police doing a checkpoint to check for drunk drivers not be able to follow anyone that turn around to find another way? The people that think they shouldn't must think people are idiots. Criminals will not walk into a checkpoint knowing they get caught. Its nothing but reasonable to assume those that avoid checkpoints have something to hide. Most normal people just go through, complies and then leave as its nothing to worry about.

[@kamontheskunk477]

@@Cloud_Seeker I'm not going to try to get too political, but it's not all that hard to tell if someone is driving under the influence. Most of the time, they're going far faster than the speed limit, they're veering on the road and when they're actually pulled over, they'll likely sound drunk with slurred speech. Also people don't have to be drunk either. Police might think something suspicious is going on with drivers when it's something small like accidentally going through a red light or not stopping at a stop sign broken headlight etc. all because of their race. Racial profiling. Just like with border agents.

What is wrong with wanting to protect the sovereignty of your nation? “A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation.”― Ronald Reagan "The American people are a welcoming and generous people. But those who enter our country illegally, and those who employ them, disrespect the rule of law. And because we live in an age where terrorists are challenging our borders, we cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. Americans are right to demand better border security and better enforcement of the immigration laws." -- Barack Obama (April 3, 2006)
