Furthermore:
A road block checkpoint is not the same as a border patrol station. Road blocks are meant to temporarily block the road, hence the term "r.o.a.d. b.l.o.c.k.". The station in that woman's video had buildings that were permanent. That is the complete opposite of "temporary".
You act as if she had a choice. She didn't. If you watched all of her six videos, you would have known that she stated very clearly that that road is the only one that goes to her home and she was being funneled to that station with every other car.
A DUI checkpoint is not the same thing as a CBP station. They are not checking for the same thing.
The ACLU frequently fights in courts, with their own lawyers, for the rights of US citizens when their Constitutional rights have been violated. They absolutely aren't the law, but they KNOW the law and they are an organization that contains lawyers who have licenses to practice the law and they do so daily. They are MORE than just an opinion. Nice attempt in trying to downplay the ACLU though.
The court cases referenced had mostly to do with distances outside the limits (100 miles) or pulling people over not at a checkpoint. Neither of those apply to the instance we are discussing. Unless there is something that I missed.
What does it matter if it's temp or perm? If authorities, performing their function within their duties and the law, ask you to pull over to be checked, you pull over, simple as that. Explain why it matters if it's temp or perm.
What six videos? I don't have facebook. The eleven+ minute youtube I watched (maybe contained all 6) did not indicate what road they were traveling, or their start point. She did indicate that "I've always been waived thru", sounds like she has been there before. It also indicated that they were in Detroit MI, IN, NY, IL, PA, and NJ. I looked at all of the perm checkpoints in NM and they are all south. If shes coming from northern states and does not want to comply with a checkpoint there are numerous other roads she can take. It's not the "only way home". It appears that she did have a choice to avoid and decided not to (again "I've always been waived thru").
You're right, DUI check is tougher to get thru. You have to show papers/ID. This one, all she had to say was "Yes, US citizen".
If she would have been "waived thru" we would have never heard of this. My gut says the "protest" was more about her white privilege violation than anything else. Did she go protest when her "brown" teacher friends complained about problems with BPC prior to this? Don't know, no evidence, but doubtful.
When the ACLU weighs in on this instance then we'll talk. Until then, it's still opinion and all the ACLU is doing is pointing out the law that pertains to this incident. Looks to me to be within the law.
What did I bypass?
"Failed miserably" and "nice attempt"? Would you like to make this personal?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
