[@digitalscott256]

These "Canine Officers" are Trained to react to a stimulus. They are also are given rewards for their actions. And I would like to point out, that a "Canine" is UNABLE to testify in court as they can not "speak" and tell the FACTS of the situation. Thusly it is a Violation of a Citizen's right to "Confront All Witness' against them". The "Powers that be" have the power to hold a Citizen, for "investigative purposes", but when that investigation bears no "fruit", they simply say "Sorry for the inconvenience." as if that makes it all OK. Furthermore, this all happens on PRIVATE PROPERTY, being that the Airport is Privately Owned.. This again Violates "Jurisdictional Borders". For Example, an Agent of the court (AKA Police Officer) that is Employed in One Jurisdiction and Sworn under that "Policy", then moves onto Private Property, and Asserts Authority in a "Task Force" which can create unfettered "authority" because of the Implication that the Government has Blanket Power. I will remind everyone, these are NOT Elected Official's, they are employee's of a Corporation, NONE of us are under contract to. The Constitution was drawn up in very particular language, and the "Corporation" of the Government has then taken that Document and trampled the "Soul" of the Founding Father's intentions to Protect the Citizens, and to prevent overreach. Our "Government", on all levels, profits off us in EVERY WAY, wither it be by Taxation, Fines, or Fees and Profit while ruining the simple existence of persons that are meant to be free of interference from "Tyranny". And as a side note here, Law Enforcers are ALLOWED, even encouraged, to lie in their profession.. why should we believe Anything they say..

[@spydude38]

A warrant isn't necessarily required, IF the LEO has probably cause. In this case the DEA Agent never admitted he had no probably cause for reason. He was just making it as painful for the man as possible because he wouldn't consent willingly. He should have refused to consent once he was off the plane, but instead when the K-9 dog was made to respond positively, the DEA agent had his probably cause. Forget that it was based on a dog that was told to signal positive. I'll be surprised if he can convince a judge otherwise because he consented.

And you say "no, thank you" and he says, "I didn't ask you a question..." You say, "I don't consent to any searches, seizures, or questions. Either show me a warrant or leave me alone." DEA say: "I said I'm not asking you a question. I'm not seizing you either, you're free to go, but your bag stays with me. We'll turn it in to lost and found when we're done with it if you choose to leave now, but that's up to you."

Not illegal but you do have to declare any amount over $9,999.00

[@jerseyshoredroneservices225]

Many people with far less then what is required to be declared have had their money stolen. Declaring makes no difference anyway, it just alerts the government so they can steal it easier.

[@harolddalejr5203]

They keep the cash???? Corruption....

[@jondoe406]

Bingo

[@dblocker3145]

The DEA needs to be forced to reimburse him for the missed flight, and for any other costs incurred.

[@arribaficationwineho32]

That is the pressure they use….they hold just long enough to miss your flight

[@AFAskygoddess]

This makes my blood boil.I was moving 1,000 miles away. I didn't want to drive with my valuables, so first, I flew down with my ton of jewelry, lots of cash from my moving sale, and my gold coins. My plan was to put it all in a local bank safety deposit box, fly back, then drive my car to my new home. I knew I'd be questioned at TSA. I told them I was moving, and they believed me. Now I see that all my cash could have been confiscated without cause. Grrrr

[@brookecollins558]

Agent should be FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have probable cause or a warrant? If not, walk away................

[@0annonymous]

Fired with 2 BROKEN ARMS because we've reached a BREAKING point

[@Hawkfire3937]

Continue to expose evil and corrupt law enforcement

[@mikiesmoto-ventures3341]

remove all immunity from law enforcement and judges!

[@niveknospmoht8743]

Nothing worse than a thief with a badge

[@MissLibertarian]

Suppose you have a photo of your toddler naked in the bath. Wanna bet they won't make that probable cause for further disrespect of your rights? Never consent to a search. I'm glad this hero allowed it because it did what he said: proved the dog wrong. But that could have gone wrong. Ignorance of the law is an excellent excuse if it is a stupid law.

[@paulo7200]

Excellent reporting.

[@zcvxs]

Its happening nation wide

[@PrinceArthur636]

the government violates and tries cancelling back our rights every day, in the words of one certain federal employee Mr.kissinger: "Before the FOIA, i used to say things like: the illegal we can do immediately... the unconstitutional takes a bit longer; But now, I'm afraid to say things like that."

[@jamescaudill1248]

Citizens are Guilty until proven innocent. These government agencies need supervision. Dea does whatever they want until guy like this stands up and takes them to task. One guy I actually hope sues.

[@shanevincek364]

I refuse to fly now & I will drive because I refuse to deal with these idiots. Airlines you lose.

[@Markevans36301]

I'm with you but beware that they are pulling the same BS out on the highway.

[@JaneDoe-ve5lr]

That agent must be immediately fired and charged with violating the rights of all citizens he abused.

[@TexOz999]

Thank you for your important work.

[@Donguano1]

What is the name of that DEA agent?

[@evelyndunham5135]

I think if the DEA find nothing and you miss your flight the DEA should be responsible for your ticket

[@kungfumaster9883]

More people need to see this...

[@JohneeB]

Thank you for following up. I will be looking for further updates on this issue. please continue to bring attention to it to keep gov't accountable to us!

[@micclay]

Good work. This is better journalism than I've seen on any large network in my memory.

[@LoriL010]

TSA has gone through my suitcase multiple times after I've already been through security. One time breaking a candle jar. They always leave their little calling card inside stating it was a high security situation, but I never see it until I get home and unpack. Isn't that the same thing as the DEA doing this?

[@telpewen]

Pretty sure checking your bag gives them consent to search it somewhere in the fine print.

[@CinnamonTeal3.14]

"disobeyed" "disrespected" bro... those aren't crimes!

[@georglimiux677]

Total ass opening. I`m the government. This gem needs top lose his job and be sued.

[@bobraccio1965]

If this search is illegal, then can a person put the searcher under a citizens arrest and play that out.

[@SkinnyCow.]

You just know that cops slaps around his wife and then blames her for making him do it. Total narcissist.

[@MrDarren5012]

Sue them and go after his qualified immunity

[@jdtravels5140]

I’m a retiree that worked for the nation’s intelligence services for over 44 years. I even worked for Homeland Security. I would love to have one of these numbskulls try this with me. I have nothing but time on my hands.

[@jaybae5850]

These three letter agencies need to go. Waste of taxpayer funds.

[@jerseyshoredroneservices225]

It's not just the 3 letter agencies. All levels of law enforcement do the same thing.

[@alanyoder7629]

Clear violation of constitutional rights. Sue the bastard.

[@JustABill02]

This SCREAMS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT

[@charlesdeliberis239]

[@LReno-di9cm]

[@Wilson-ky30]

Sue the bastards and since when did cash become illegal

[@DavidSamuel-c3h]

The officer should be fired for what he did

[@SteveSilverActor]

Thank you for doing this important work. This is what journalism is about -- protecting our freedoms and protecting our democracy.

[@BeardMan01]

Get Attorney Shield people. Have your lawyer at your fingertips.
