On more than one occasion my bestie and I have texted each other with a question about something and the other person has replied in their head or forgotten to hit send on their reply. Then upon noticing the failure to reply we've texted "oh sorry, meant to reply, the answer is blah blah blah".
And 9 times out of 10 the response is "oh, I thought you had replied, cos I knew that was the answer". We've been best friends for more than 20 years though and it shows lol
Yeah like the best kind of annoying ever. My best friend of 11 years suffered from an acute mental health crisis, two years ago and ghosted me. We were like this. I cant tell you how much I miss her.
Weird story about how in sync we are. One day, 7 years ago, I had the strongest urge to take a pregnancy test. Couldn't get the thought out of my head despite the chances being crazy low. So I peed on a stick, negative, all good.
At like, 2am, bestie texted me (we lived on different sides of the planet) "Is that a faint line? Is this positive or negative?" And there was a pic of the very same brand of test with a faint positive line.
"Yeah, that is not a negative. Cos here's one I took earlier that was actually negative."
God what an absolute idiot! This clip annoyed me more than it probably should have. I hope they gave him hell, and I usually would never be on the side of any gov agent.
Seriously, you’re not complying because you’re a weak sheep, you’re complying because without checks and balances, the system doesn’t work. Just answer the damn question and make everyone’s life easier. He’s no better than the thing he’s trying to act against.
He even answered before the border agent even asked. So on top of the noise and the window being up, his attention might’ve been elsewhere. And on top of that he records this as if he was planning on doing this and then he posts it online like it’s some kind of “gotcha”. This guy is a total POS
Just so everyone is aware, this guy is now in prison for sexual assault on a child. Google First Amendment auditor arrested for ...... his daughter. And it wasn't his first arrest for assult of that kind. So not just an annoyance but an evil person.
Used to work at a place with multiple drive thrus and people just don't get how noise reducing a rolled up window is. I'm talking us to them, multiple times try to get someone's attention but there window would be rolled up and we weren't visible. I'd just move on to the next person then they they finally roll it down and get angry cause they were there first.
“I answered you when I was at home on the toilet eating beef jerky dipped in hidden valley ranch dressing. I’d just like to be on my way.” -this guy probably
not only was the window rolled up. He wasn’t even to the guy yet. Like the guy hadn’t even asked his question yet. 🙄 these are the same people that complain about the “open” borders by the way. I absolutely guarantee it.
I’m trying to figure out if this is the same guy that tried this shit with his kids in the car. They had to smash the window and get them out and he literally bought his kid with him to film. But of course he didn’t get stopped the first time apparently he drove back-and-forth Over the border like five or six times in a row and then had an issue with the fact that they thought he was acting weird and pulled him over. If I can find the link for this one on YouTube, I’ll come back and edit it.
Edit: so I thought it would be able to find it quick, but there is just so many videos now with border control.
Probably, I’ve got major respect for service workers. I’m not cut out for those jobs, I don’t know how people do it without losing their cool, I’d frisbee food at them.
They go around filming police and random people in public to try to provoke a reaction. It is perfectly legal to film people in public but they're really annoying about it specifically so they can overreact when people ask them to stop.
Usually their goal is to provoke an over reaction from law enforcement so they can sue but they claim its about educating people and cops about their rights.
Like the gentleman in the post they often don't have a good understanding of what their rights actually are and will refuse to comply with lawful commands or will attempt to film in restricted areas like military bases or courtrooms so they can escalate the situation into an arrest and will attempt to sue.
Personally I think there's better ways to educate people besides being a nuisance but I work in law enforcement so my opinion might be skewed. There are some who are polite and reasonable but in my personal experience and what ive seen online theyre few and far between.
A proper auditor wouldn't be an annoying asshat. They are knowledgeable of the laws so that they can then push back when an officer or other government figure tells them that something is illegal when it isn't. They are respectful but firm when dealing with the police.
A good auditor exposes the gaps in knowledge of government employees. They assert the rights afforded to the public so that they can be aware of exactly what those rights are in case some government figure tries to claim otherwise.
This is distinctly different from idiots who behave disrespectfully and try to escalate the situation to provoke a response (a "frauditor," if you will), either to make their videos more interesting or to sue for a violation of their civil rights. They may not even be aware if they are actually breaking some local law because they haven't read up on them.
Let’s be honest though, suing LE is often the only way to get them to change. Educating them respectfully doesn’t do anything; they knowingly trample on people’s right everyday, it’s how they are trained.
Sometimes, exposure and outrage are all that's necessary to get rid of the worst abusers, and a proper auditor makes that abuse of authority the central story rather than over-the-top antics to illicit that abuse born out of frustration and limited patience for the willfully antagonistic.
There are channels now calling themselves free speech auditors. They go to the DMV, Post Office, or even a Public clinic (HIPAA laws don't matter to them apparently) and goad people into calling to police to kick them out. They have the worst attitude during the whole process, and they are salivating at the prospect of being attacked so they can sue.
I love that they want all of the benefits of living in a society while picking and choosing the responsibilities that they want to go with it.
driving on taxpayer funded roads? check.
filling up with gas delivered via internationally agreed upon shipping routes? check.
driving a vehicle that had to be approved by the state for road safety? check.
answer a simple “yes” or “no” question? well hold the fuck on there mister.. I am a TRAVELLER and it’s not up to the state to interfere in my business!!
Someone else mentioned this, but I'm fairly certain this is an "auditor" rather than a "Sovereign Citizen." He's not using any of the usual goofy SovCit lingo.
His name is David. He had a quite popular Youtube channel where he did 1st amendment audits. I have to admit I kinda enjoyed his videos.
He's currently doing 20 years in prison for raping his stepdaughter.
David Earl Warren I believe. I enjoyed his channel as well, New Now Houston I believe. I always felt he kept his cool unless he was really provoked. His later stuff went down hill when he was grouping up with people that didn't care for the audit, but just the views and youtube money. Then all his past came out and I was done.
Eligible for parole in 2032 (gonna be 71 then). Eligible for release in 2042.
Molested and SA his sixth child multiple times, starting when she was 14-15, in their trailer park home.
To stop the abuse, she tried to barricade her door, wore belts and straps to make it harder for him to access her body at night, and even had to fend him off her room with a knife from the kitchen.
He made threats of violence against her when she got a bf, then telling her that he wouldn't hurt her, as long as she gave her virginity to him, her father.
He tried to get his sentence canceled, arguing that he was racially persecuted for being white, as well as being a Mormon, but the judge didn't buy that.
Really an absolute piece of shit, like rarely seen.
The video cut off, but I bet you he answered right away when patrol asked him to park right there because there’s no way in hell he’s waiting in that line again. And wasn’t his window closed when he answered, he literally says I answered you before I left my window down lol, what a dumbshit
He eterntained that WAAAAY to long. Right after the first “i just told you”
“Alright sir, I am asking you here and now if you are a us citizen. Please respond accordingly, if you require assistance in your response I can reach out for assistance other wise I need a yes or no answer”
If he continues
“Alright sir, final time I will ask you if you are citizen, if you do not comply with a yes or no answer you will be further questioned and/or up to detained”
This is not at the us border. This is an internal checkpoint that is 100 miles from the border. If this was the border, he would be required to show identification to come back. At these internal checkpoints , you are under no requirement to answer their questions
I don't like sovereign citizens as much as anybody. But being asked for citizenship 100 miles inside the country is creeping authoritarianism, and we're seeing what happens when we let that shit slide. The fact that we are legally not required to answer that question to this warrantless stop is an important civil right.
I'm sure that refusing to answer a yes or no question on your legal status is going to lead to authoritarianism. Like realistically what do you gain from refusing to answer this non-pervasive question at this legal traffic stop ?
I believe more than anyone that the law oversteps extremely often. But I simply wouldn't see the need to argue that once already at a traffic stop and risk wasting my own time or getting into unnecessary problems
Unnecessary problems are the point: He wants to provoke the officer into further violating his rights, in order to bring the issue to court and re-litigate the law. The end goal is getting a federal court to rule the checkpoints unconstitutional.
The only ones holding up the line are the CBP officers demanding he answer a question that is not legally required of him to answer. If you are ok with 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment violations, go ahead and just say it.
"The Supreme Court has ruled that government agents can stop vehicles at fixed checkpoints near the border for a brief, routine inquiry about immigration status, even without reasonable suspicion, according to the ACLU. However, a search of a vehicle or person at these checkpoints requires probable cause or consent."
They are allowed to have the stops. They cannot legally demand you answer their questions or provide identification. If they have no reasonable suspicion you are not a citizen, they cannot extend the length of the stop.
Ah, I was wondering why the border agent seemed so unsure of what to do and how to exercise their authority. This guy would have been getting his car torn apart after 5 seconds of this bullshit at an international border.
I don't believe the commenters love ICE. I think it's more likely they have the wrong information given the title says this is a border crossing and there's nothing in the video to suggest otherwise.
Going by what the title says, it's reasonable to question the guys actions, as it would be totally expected to prove you're allowed to be crossing the border, in which case the guy is being unnecessarily difficult. If it's not the case and this is an internal checkpoint then that may change things (I'm not from the US so have no idea), but people aren't going to know that without further information which hasn't been provided by the poster.
Uuugghhhhhh and the worst part is he didn't have any problems repeating himself for other phrases besides the one phrase that would have let him be able to go on his way which he just so desperately wanted to do.
What is wrong with these people? What is that guy's problem just answer the man and and get on your way. Probably takes less than 30 seconds and this guy spending it on arguing.
Me: I am a US citizen
Border Patrol: Sorry, I didn't hear you. Are you a US citizen?
Me: Yes, sir. I am a US citizen
Border Patrol: Alright, you're good to go. Have a nice day
Do you see how easy it is to go about your day when you're not a stubborn asshole?
It's NOT US Border. It's one of those checkpoints inside of the US. Personally I can't believe that the US Supreme Court says that it's constitutional to have answer when you are not crossing an international border.
I've seen the entire video and even though sometimes you feel like he has a handle on some things, that doesn't take away from how tremendously stupid he is in his attitude.... I love that people who respond much less aggressively or credibly, are hit by 20 police officers with tasers, pepper spray, rubber bullets, police dogs and real bullets!

“I answered you before I even rolled the window down” Then how the fuck would he have heard you? Lmao
You texted me a question and I said my answer out loud. It's not my fault you live in a different state and didn't hear my answer.
On more than one occasion my bestie and I have texted each other with a question about something and the other person has replied in their head or forgotten to hit send on their reply. Then upon noticing the failure to reply we've texted "oh sorry, meant to reply, the answer is blah blah blah".
And 9 times out of 10 the response is "oh, I thought you had replied, cos I knew that was the answer". We've been best friends for more than 20 years though and it shows lol
My husband does this except in person, he's like "oh I thought i said it out loud but I guess I answered in my head"
You two sound annoying
Yeah like the best kind of annoying ever. My best friend of 11 years suffered from an acute mental health crisis, two years ago and ghosted me. We were like this. I cant tell you how much I miss her.
What the fuck are you talking about? How is that annoying? I'm sad for you that you've never experienced that kind of synchronicity with anyone.
Weird story about how in sync we are. One day, 7 years ago, I had the strongest urge to take a pregnancy test. Couldn't get the thought out of my head despite the chances being crazy low. So I peed on a stick, negative, all good.

"Yeah, that is not a negative. Cos here's one I took earlier that was actually negative."
Oh that is crazy! I usually just get the frequent "wow crazy you called, I was just talking/thinking about you!"
Lol I played pictionary with my wife against a friend couple.
They would take several minutes making intrimcate drawings for meh results.
My and my wife would just make doodles and sick figures and the other would know the answer in 5 seconds 🤣🤣🤣
They don't want to play with us anymore 😅
Hahah, that's awesome :D that's such a fun game! I haven't played it in forever.. I should fix that.
You sound angry and depressed
So how are you today?
E: Sorry, bout the bump.
🤣🤣🤣
Why would you post this online thinking you're in the right is my question?
Well it’s not his fault it’s loud outside. The window was cracked. Am I free to leave now?
God what an absolute idiot! This clip annoyed me more than it probably should have. I hope they gave him hell, and I usually would never be on the side of any gov agent.
But fuck the gunernmint!
Seriously, you’re not complying because you’re a weak sheep, you’re complying because without checks and balances, the system doesn’t work. Just answer the damn question and make everyone’s life easier. He’s no better than the thing he’s trying to act against.
"Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining, governaminute"
Talk about the oppression of the commons. Dork
Ma rites r beein o-pressed
But mah rahts!
"I've said all I need to say. Sounds like a you problem now."
This was my exact thought! Dummy actually posted this thinking people would agree with him...
Actually, sad part is that Im sure there are people out there who DO agree with him 😖
He is clearly a very stupid individual
Well it’s not his fault you can’t understand his reasoning to know he’s in the right when he clearly isn’t…🤣. His logic is dizzying.
You have to be narcistic
Or just get off on the fact you think you're annoying or impeding somebody else's life for no reason
It was cracked, duh
He even answered before the border agent even asked. So on top of the noise and the window being up, his attention might’ve been elsewhere. And on top of that he records this as if he was planning on doing this and then he posts it online like it’s some kind of “gotcha”. This guy is a total POS
Just so everyone is aware, this guy is now in prison for sexual assault on a child. Google First Amendment auditor arrested for ...... his daughter. And it wasn't his first arrest for assult of that kind. So not just an annoyance but an evil person.
For some reason he wasn't prosecuted until he harassed the cops and the union boss after cops killed that couple in their own home and lied about it.
Used to work at a place with multiple drive thrus and people just don't get how noise reducing a rolled up window is. I'm talking us to them, multiple times try to get someone's attention but there window would be rolled up and we weren't visible. I'd just move on to the next person then they they finally roll it down and get angry cause they were there first.
Snnnnnnaaap, did you hear that sir? That's the sound of my rubber gloves.
Full cavity search, while his car gets pulled apart & searched too.
Right? You can be on your way…in 3 hours
thats a funny way to spell butt
Clickbait YouTuber ? Fkin idiot lol
"I answered you 30 minutes before I drove up its not my fault I didnt make it distant from here"
“I answered you when I was at home on the toilet eating beef jerky dipped in hidden valley ranch dressing. I’d just like to be on my way.” -this guy probably
And then he posted this himself for some reason?
not only was the window rolled up. He wasn’t even to the guy yet. Like the guy hadn’t even asked his question yet. 🙄 these are the same people that complain about the “open” borders by the way. I absolutely guarantee it.
“I gave you the answer a mile back while my window was cracked the width of a cunt hair, it’s not my fault you don’t have supersonic hearing.”
I’m trying to figure out if this is the same guy that tried this shit with his kids in the car. They had to smash the window and get them out and he literally bought his kid with him to film.

I bet he could understand that concept at the McDonald’s drive through.

Probably, I’ve got major respect for service workers. I’m not cut out for those jobs, I don’t know how people do it without losing their cool, I’d frisbee food at them.
Just be super human I guess lmao
You mean the other drivers I call stupid pricks can’t hear me!?
they should just arrest such guys ,given a court hearing in 2 weeks ,by then he would sober up and even produce his passport
And he's on crack!
Imagine having to live with a person like this
Luckily “sovereign citizens” tend to isolate themselves which functions as a courtesy to surrounding humans
He’s not a sovereign citizen, he’s one of those auditor types.
Yeah a SovCit would be identifying as natural man, native of the land with a lower case name, all rights reserved. This guy’s a BS auditor.
"I'm traveling"
What's an auditor? That's a new one to me
They go around filming police and random people in public to try to provoke a reaction. It is perfectly legal to film people in public but they're really annoying about it specifically so they can overreact when people ask them to stop.
Usually their goal is to provoke an over reaction from law enforcement so they can sue but they claim its about educating people and cops about their rights.
Like the gentleman in the post they often don't have a good understanding of what their rights actually are and will refuse to comply with lawful commands or will attempt to film in restricted areas like military bases or courtrooms so they can escalate the situation into an arrest and will attempt to sue.

But if it takes a lawsuit, then so be it.
Wow, some people have nothing better to do with their time. Thanks for the explanation.
Imagine having to live as this person for your entire life
Imagine being his kid!
You only have to if you're in prison. He's currently in a Texas prison for 10 to 25 years.
Considering how fine he was with repeating himself, you'd think he'd be fine with repeating himself and saving himself all that bother.
But something tells me he wanted all this bother. Just a hunch I have
Could you repeat that?
I already answered you. I don't think I have to answer more than once. I'd just like to be on my way.
Sir? Just answer the goddamn question.
It isnt his problem you're hard of reading, he already gave you the answer.
It's not my fault you can't hear me read this out loud.
"I just want to be on my way"
...clearly not, or you would've just said "yes" instead of wasting both your time & his on this nonsense
“I just want some rage bait for Facebook” is what he meant to say.
This is the way.
There are channels now calling themselves free speech auditors. They go to the DMV, Post Office, or even a Public clinic (HIPAA laws don't matter to them apparently) and goad people into calling to police to kick them out. They have the worst attitude during the whole process, and they are salivating at the prospect of being attacked so they can sue.
Its very infuriating to watch.
They've been around for many years now, and yeah they're the effing worst
I didn't realize how long they have been around. They annoy me so much, I hate the snarky attitude they have.
They weaponized it to get attention it seems.
"I don't want to speak to you"
Proceeds to act in a way that makes him talk to them more
Just an egoistic narcissist.
Masterclass in "how to make myself look suspicious and invite search or arrest"
I love that they want all of the benefits of living in a society while picking and choosing the responsibilities that they want to go with it.
driving on taxpayer funded roads? check.
filling up with gas delivered via internationally agreed upon shipping routes? check.
driving a vehicle that had to be approved by the state for road safety? check.
answer a simple “yes” or “no” question? well hold the fuck on there mister.. I am a TRAVELLER and it’s not up to the state to interfere in my business!!
Someone else mentioned this, but I'm fairly certain this is an "auditor" rather than a "Sovereign Citizen." He's not using any of the usual goofy SovCit lingo.
Yep, definitely an auditor.
I watched the videos for a day or two and now I can't anymore. My blood pressure deserves better.
Some people want this by pretending not to just to try to sue for $$$
All he had to do was say "yes" one more time
That's too much. Control yourself man.
Clearly just bored and wanting attention. 4 hours of searches and questions is a treat for this douchebag.
The point was not to make things easier on himself and the officer. In fact, I’d say it was to make things harder.
How else is he meant to get a cavity search and still claim to be straight.
In the full video he said the phrase “I don’t want to have to repeat myself” multiple times. Irony is lost on people like this.
You got that full video? I need to see this absolute shit show unfold in full.
Clearly US-citizen
Not one we like or proud of .
Right? With that level of entitlement and pettiness, it’s pretty obvious
How many times did he repeat himself saying he shouldn’t need to repeat himself?
Just pull him out of line to search the vehicle.
Very deep search of not only vehicle... Or maybe the guy wanted exactly that kind of interaction
Every cavity
What a wanker
A wanker who thought he’d upload it to the internet for all to see how much of a wanker he is. So, a double wanker.
Wankanker?
This idiot is probably "auditing" compliance on some US customs and border control law he's misinterpreted
This guy is a total POS but it is for entirely different reasons than this video.
His name is David. He had a quite popular Youtube channel where he did 1st amendment audits. I have to admit I kinda enjoyed his videos.
He's currently doing 20 years in prison for raping his stepdaughter.
That took a turn
David Earl Warren I believe. I enjoyed his channel as well, New Now Houston I believe. I always felt he kept his cool unless he was really provoked. His later stuff went down hill when he was grouping up with people that didn't care for the audit, but just the views and youtube money. Then all his past came out and I was done.
Earl David Worden. Looked him up. Indeed a POS all around.
That escalated quickly. Can't say I am surprised though.
What a useless comment lol. At least explain
He was convicted of SA. Was or is still in prison.
Eligible for parole in 2032 (gonna be 71 then). Eligible for release in 2042.
Molested and SA his sixth child multiple times, starting when she was 14-15, in their trailer park home.
To stop the abuse, she tried to barricade her door, wore belts and straps to make it harder for him to access her body at night, and even had to fend him off her room with a knife from the kitchen.
He made threats of violence against her when she got a bf, then telling her that he wouldn't hurt her, as long as she gave her virginity to him, her father.
He tried to get his sentence canceled, arguing that he was racially persecuted for being white, as well as being a Mormon, but the judge didn't buy that.
Really an absolute piece of shit, like rarely seen.
Just throw him in the tiger pen at that point
Go on.....
The amount of times he didn’t want to answer he could have “Been on his way” fucking dork!
The video cut off, but I bet you he answered right away when patrol asked him to park right there because there’s no way in hell he’s waiting in that line again. And wasn’t his window closed when he answered, he literally says I answered you before I left my window down lol, what a dumbshit
Obnoxious pos
His face matches his attitude perfectly for some reason
As am American citizen, I wish his real answer was NO as he’s an embarrassment.
He eterntained that WAAAAY to long. Right after the first “i just told you”
“Alright sir, I am asking you here and now if you are a us citizen. Please respond accordingly, if you require assistance in your response I can reach out for assistance other wise I need a yes or no answer”
If he continues
“Alright sir, final time I will ask you if you are citizen, if you do not comply with a yes or no answer you will be further questioned and/or up to detained”
So this guy took the time to post this video. What an idiot.
This is not at the us border. This is an internal checkpoint that is 100 miles from the border. If this was the border, he would be required to show identification to come back. At these internal checkpoints , you are under no requirement to answer their questions
Factually true, but why tf would you make things more difficult and hold up the line, other than to be a smart ass?
I don't like sovereign citizens as much as anybody. But being asked for citizenship 100 miles inside the country is creeping authoritarianism, and we're seeing what happens when we let that shit slide. The fact that we are legally not required to answer that question to this warrantless stop is an important civil right.
They can have these checkpoints 100 miles from an airport too.
I'm sure that refusing to answer a yes or no question on your legal status is going to lead to authoritarianism. Like realistically what do you gain from refusing to answer this non-pervasive question at this legal traffic stop ?
The real question is why is there a border checkpoint 100 miles from the border? The question is what do you lose by answering?
"Just comply" is the song of the oppressed.
I believe more than anyone that the law oversteps extremely often. But I simply wouldn't see the need to argue that once already at a traffic stop and risk wasting my own time or getting into unnecessary problems
Unnecessary problems are the point: He wants to provoke the officer into further violating his rights, in order to bring the issue to court and re-litigate the law. The end goal is getting a federal court to rule the checkpoints unconstitutional.
The only ones holding up the line are the CBP officers demanding he answer a question that is not legally required of him to answer. If you are ok with 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment violations, go ahead and just say it.
"The Supreme Court has ruled that government agents can stop vehicles at fixed checkpoints near the border for a brief, routine inquiry about immigration status, even without reasonable suspicion, according to the ACLU.

They are allowed to have the stops. They cannot legally demand you answer their questions or provide identification. If they have no reasonable suspicion you are not a citizen, they cannot extend the length of the stop.
Ah, I was wondering why the border agent seemed so unsure of what to do and how to exercise their authority. This guy would have been getting his car torn apart after 5 seconds of this bullshit at an international border.
Get out of here with your reasonable response. These idiots love ICE and nazi-like unconstitutional checkpoints
I don't believe the commenters love ICE. I think it's more likely they have the wrong information given the title says this is a border crossing and there's nothing in the video to suggest otherwise.
Going by what the title says, it's reasonable to question the guys actions, as it would be totally expected to prove you're allowed to be crossing the border, in which case the guy is being unnecessarily difficult. If it's not the case and this is an internal checkpoint then that may change things (I'm not from the US so have no idea), but people aren't going to know that without further information which hasn't been provided by the poster.
yeah, the poster knew what they were doing
It’s fricken wierd how anti government Reddit is… until it’s someone just mildly standing up for their rights under the letter of the law.
"I thought about. Not my problem you aren't a psychic!"
What battle is he trying to win
Uuugghhhhhh and the worst part is he didn't have any problems repeating himself for other phrases besides the one phrase that would have let him be able to go on his way which he just so desperately wanted to do.
Life is boring man i get it
Me when I make my drive thru order on the highway a mile down the road from the restraunt.
POS
Like answering an email by screaming at your laptop.
I bet you... hes not married
And he's stupid enough to upload this video like he thinks people are going to agree he's in the right. I hope the dumbass got turned around.
The cartel probably paid him to act like an ass and tie up more people..... or he's just an insufferable ass
Seriously, what was he trying to prove? 🤦♂️
Let's just keep him out. We have enough 💩 heads
"Fucking owned this guy, let's post it" - this guy
What an utter douchebag.
Love when people waste their time
ASSHAT
These people annoy the shit out of me
I can’t imagine a dumber dummy. Utterly wowed by the pointlessness of it all.
Loser
Why be such a dick? 🤷
and this guy probably wonders why no one wants to hangout with him
Fucking pissant!
Great way to get sent to secondary. What a moron.
Yea the papers please guy can pound sand this is America
So I dont understand this one at all, what was his objective by not saying yes or no? "Just trying to be on his way".
Making a thing out of nothing and recording yourself. What?
“Truly, you have a dizzying intellect”
What is wrong with these people? What is that guy's problem just answer the man and and get on your way. Probably takes less than 30 seconds and this guy spending it on arguing.
He is a dick.
The border is stupid and badly managed.
What an insufferable prick.. I would make sure he is as delayed as long as possible
Kind of feels like he wants them to look for the answer in his anal cavity.
This guy is an absolute waste of space, I feel cheated for spending the effort to listen to him.
I guarantee you this guy is applauding what I’ve is doing right now.
Me: I am a US citizen Border Patrol: Sorry, I didn't hear you. Are you a US citizen? Me: Yes, sir. I am a US citizen Border Patrol: Alright, you're good to go. Have a nice day
Do you see how easy it is to go about your day when you're not a stubborn asshole?
Let him wait there till that dude has the time to ask it again
Fucking Prick
Lock him up. lol
How hard was it to say “yes”, dumb Mfer made a whole fucking issue
Can you go wait in that parking lot for 3-4 hours and I'll come ask the questions again?
After the fourth time not answering the question pull them to the side
This guy likely is single, has no friends, his coworkers don't like him and he lies awake at night wondering why.. My impression of the POS s life
Wow. This is the time you need ICE. At the border, not in a Chicago neighborhood.
Why people film themselves being absolute douche ?
Do they think they earn sympathy ?
“Fantastic. Please pull over to the right, you’ve been selected for a complete vehicle inspection…”
You want to leave? You can leave in 90minutes when I’m done
No, no, jackass. By all means, fuck around on the border.
Can we get the follow-up video of him being yeeted out of his car and tased, please?
It's NOT US Border. It's one of those checkpoints inside of the US. Personally I can't believe that the US Supreme Court says that it's constitutional to have answer when you are not crossing an international border.
🤡🤡🤡
JUST SAY YES
I've seen the entire video and even though sometimes you feel like he has a handle on some things, that doesn't take away from how tremendously stupid he is in his attitude.... I love that people who respond much less aggressively or credibly, are hit by 20 police officers with tasers, pepper spray, rubber bullets, police dogs and real bullets!
Fuck this guy
To be fair, the existence of these checkpoints is unconstitutional and they should not exist.
Is this the border or is this, more likely, a checkpoint? The former is a much different prospect than the latter.
Not at the US border btw for anyone who cares. This is an inland 100 air miles checkpoint
It must be exhausting to be this much of a twat
Can we deport him as well? No one wants people like this.
What a PoS.
