This seems a bit excessive. What do you think? Excessive force?

I am nothing of a "radical" in either direction, nor a conspiracy theorist. I'm generally VERY moderate and common sense.

And I usually roll my eyes at people who argue "it's my constitutional right to not obey you" who then get manhandled by cops.

But I feel more and more every day like I'm living in a police state. I hear about things like this all the damn time anymore.

It takes a certain type of person to be a cop.

I hate to do this, but I have to side with the Cops until they went over the line with the beating. When he said that he refused to answer any of there questions I knew that he was in the wrong. You can tell from his attitude that he is an idiot. He was probably being difficult from the minute that they pulled him over. He was a prick that gave them reason to go all out on him, and now he is crying foul. I have to go on the record as not being very fond of most Cops also. If he is a real Pastor then he should know that he is to set an example. He is to obey the Law withoit question. It is one of the pillars of his faith. His God's Son specifically said to give to the fed's what is the fed's or Ceasar's, and to God what is God's. He may think that his Faith's Holy Book is just talking about Tithe, and taxes, but I have to doubt it. Many people know how to act around the Law, and I am not sure that he does because of his attitude. It sucks, but it is life.

Cops here tried that with me today, I beat them down. 3 of them and a dog to boot. Tried 'tazing me, they really freaked out when I started smiling when the voltage hit, they upped the voltage and a smiled more. Then I snapped and went off on them. One officer fired a 9mm round at me, the bullet bounced off my chest and hit another officer in the leg. Sure hope he's ok.

Anyhow, I'm looking forward to being back home tommorow so I can waste more of my time here.

Oh, and for the record, the cops were way out of line here IMO, but at the same time if you won't cooperate at all, at least part of the treatment he got is guaranteed to happen with any cops.

The border patrol are not "normal" cops, didn't even watch the video yet - just wanted to point that out. It's like a war zone on the border (hell, we have seriously contiplated putting marines on the border) and I don't even want to know how bad it CAN be. That being said; anyone that goes looking for trouble and finds it (no matter to me, how wrong the other party could be) deserves what they get.

now, maybe I'll watch the video......

crazycoffey
05-14-2009, 03:47 AM
The video starts with a half of the story that the "pastor" wants us to see.....
if his face was "completely covered in blood" then why wasn't the marks on his face bigger? how do we know that the marks on his face the next day were totally from the border patrol? Why didn't he comply with the officers from the start (whenever, or however long before we see the start of this video) How come we don't see the rest of his video, if he's so innocent, why didn't he post the rest of it?

Listen, people. STOP trying to get on national TV for your 5 minutes of fame, DO listen to the authority figure in a situation. They have so much to deal with as it is, why do you want to add to it? What does it benefit us as a nation?

The border patrol already has to deal with child porn, drugs, terrorists - do they really HAVE to worry about someone that is only trying to make something out of nothing?

SERIOUSLY, THE ONLY THING THAT IS GOING TO COME OF THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR IS SHOWING THE CHILD PORN PEDDLERS/DRUG DEALERS/TERRORISTS A WAY TO BEAT OUR NATIONAL SECURITY, AND GET THROUGH THE BORDER TO DO HARMFUL THINGS TO OUR COUNTRY, IT'S PEOPLE AND OUR CHILDREN.

It's just sensless to me in the big picture. fuck this guy....

Either you have to answer their questions by law or you don't. If you don't, then that's it. If the police have respect for the laws of the land then they should honor them and not hide behind the stress of the difficulties of their job.

Alphaman
05-14-2009, 07:04 AM
It seemed to me that he was asking what their probable cause was to question him and search his car. He then asked under what charges he was being arrested. Maybe I'm naive, but those seem like reasonable questions. It also seems reasonable to ask what indication the dog gave that there were either drugs or a body in his trunk, especially if the dog didn't bark.

Surely they went ahead and searched his car after the tasered him and drug him out of the car. So here's a question: Did they find any drugs or a body? If not, then the whole dog indication thing lacks credibility.

That being said, at the point it became obvious the police officer was going to break the window (i.e. telling him to close his eyes), wisdom would say to back off, get out of the car and try to cooperate. He already had enough documentation that his rights were being violated.

Finally, the fact that he is a minister or a Christian does not mean that he needs to give up his constitutional rights. Again, maybe I'm naive, but it seemed as though he was questioning whether or not his rights were being violated.

You will not win a violent confrontation with the police. So here's a few quick rules for a non-violent engagement with law enforcement (blantantly lifted from the interwebs with a few modifications):

1. Pull to the side of the road or into a well-lit area like the parking lot of a shopping center. Remain in the car unless instructed otherwise.

2. Roll down the driver's side window. Keep your hands visible by placing both on the 11:00 and 1:00 positions of the steering wheel.

3. Show some respect. Address officer as "officer", "ma'am", or "sir". Be polite. Smiling doesn't hurt. Speak when spoken to. Be short and direct. The officer's stern demeanor isn't personal. You don't know what he has been dealing with, so assume nothing.

4. Advise the officer immediately if you are carrying a weapon. Some states have "carry laws," which grants permits to individuals to carry a concealed weapon.

5. Answer all questions asked by the officer. Comply with requests. You can argue your case later w/o the experience of being tazed or beaten.

6. Sign the ticket if one is issued. Your signature is not an admission of guilt.

7. Continue to be polite and remain calm, even if you're angry or frustrated about being pulled over. Humble yourself, and even if you receive a citation, say "Thank you."

It seems to me that the first half of the footage showed the pastor in his car with both windows rolled up. The officer with the tazer goes to the passenger side, breaks the window and immoblizes the pastor. At that point the video cuts to the official border patrol camera that shows another officer swinging his night violently.

We are to suppose that the officer is beating the pastor with his night stick but I suppose that since up to that point only one window had been broken and the pastor was immobalized by the tazer that he was actually breaking the drivers side window to get the door open and remove the pastor from the car. Once the door is open and pastor is out and n the ground nobody swings or beats on him.

And a night stick can and would have done a lot more damage than what is shown on the pastors face.

Sounds like the pastor was looking for trouble anyway. WTF carries a video cam in their car and has it rolling when the cops on the border stop you? It's the border. It's fuggin' crazy. They said their dog locked onto the car for some reason. Get out of the car and let them look. Why is that so fuggin' difficult.

You can pretty much piece together what probably happened. He's coming through border check and is being a wise-ass, not answering questions, etc. Border police get annoyed with him and bring the dog over and say the dog is acting funny, when in reality it probably wasn't, but it gives them reason to ask him to exit the vehicle, etc.

He refuses to exit, acts smug, pisses them off further, etc. Then he turns on the camera and acts all innocent asking reasonable questions. At this point the police are fed up with him and their tempers are short. They aren't going to bring the dog back with the camera running because the dog probably won't do anything out of the ordinary other than lick its own balls. They can't even give him a reason for why he's being detained other than to say he isn't following their present order. They don't really have reasonable suspicion (not that I'm sure any is needed at a border crossing) for anything other than Rule 1: Show a wise ass who is boss and who is wearing the badge. I have no sympathy for anyone in the video.

was he still struggling with the cops and not following their direction? Because I don't know that, so I don't know if it's excessive or not. It doesn't appear excessive to me, just trying to make sure this nut job isn't going to do something stupid or unsafe to harm himself or any of the border patrol.

as best as I can tell, the troopers never asked them to bring the dog out again. It had already done its job.....the guy was looking for trouble and he found it.

Questioning what anyone stands for as an American based on this is about as assinine as you can get. I spent damn near 22 years on active duty in the Army and have been through a half-dozen deployments, so I'm pretty sure of where I stand.

actually, they don't generally bark....they sit and stare at whatever they alert on.

I had one alert on a car I was driving once and they found nothing then either (as I was pretty sure they wouldn't since I had owned the car for quite some time) but the idea is the same IN MY MIND. The dog alerting gave the police probable cause to search even though I knew they wouldn't find anything.

I've been pulled over/stopped by an amped up cop more than once over the years. In one instance, the cop had gotten into an altercation at a sobriety check point shortly before stopping me. (And who knows what other $hit he had to deal with that night.) So for whatever reason his testosterone must have still been pretty high, because he wasn't very polite. I could have taken offense and been verbally combative if I had choose to. But instead I just smiled and told the officer that "I'm really glad to see you officers out here making the streets safe from drunk drivers." The guy smiled and thanked me. I was on my way in the blink of an eye. No taser, no beatdown, no jail. Common sense.

You're taking the officer's word for it, that the dog gave probable cause? I'm sorry that's just a bullshit way out of it.

A friend of mine left the bar he was working at and got pulled over on the way home. He asked the officer why he was pulled over and he replied "You just left a bar." Now, is this probable cause to pull him and run field sobriety tests? NO! and for the record, he doesn't drink when he works.

No sir, I'm not retarded. And not all police dogs are "trained to bark their asses off" when alerting. I think you may be posting under a gross misapprehension of police procedure. There are "aggressive" alerts and "passive" alerts. Even the "aggressive" alert doesn't normally involve excessive barking. They normally dig at the location with their paws. The "passive" alert often has the dog sitting when contraband is discovered. I hope that helps you understand the situation more clearly.

A buddie of mine tried to tell me that the police had to have probable cause to search your car. He argued with me when I told him, "No they don't".

The police make the determination if the dog is "alerting", which means they can say "he's alerting" whenever they want and search whoever they want whenever they want. I even had a cop tell me that.

Sometimes I think that certain policemen have forgotten who works for who.

For some perspective on my point of view:

Just in the KC area, I have 2 Brothers who were/are cops, 1 nephew who is a cop and 3 uncles (all retired) who were cops.

Of those 6 data points, none of those guys are morons, bad eggs, degenerates, lacking morals, or all-around God-Complexed power hungry Rambo's. All 6 of them are good people, who are/were serving their cities, and doing it for a meager wage (given the risk).

I was very polite and asked why he pulled me over stating " I thought I was doin about 70". He said he pulled me over because of all the drug traffic going to florida in rentel vehicles around spring break. Re he he healy? I almost asked him if he had some land to sell me in florida when I got there. What a stretch. Anyhow, after he left, my wife and I spent the next 25 minutes trying to get the kids to go back to sleep.

Depends on what is seen in plain view when the officer is standing by the window, anything illict will = a car search. Also there's the Terry Search ruling that allows an officer to search the arm's reach of the driver, when stopped and with probable cause that a crime is occuring.

The dog hit, the actions of the driver, all give probable cause to ask him out of the vehicle, him not getting out is then an obstruction of justice charge, plus whatever they find in the vehicle inventory from the arrest, if they place him under arrest for the obstruction.

what benefit is there to search a car with nothing in it? You gotta believe that even if they've let the badge get into their head they don't just want to search a vehicle because they're board. That's what you would almost have to insinuate if they made up the dog hit.

Oh, and I agree if the dog hits and nothing is found then DX that dog. Taking away personal liberties for the purpose of law enforcement is not something to be taken lightly. (BTW - I didn't realize sniffing dogs were good at smelling alter boys that this pastor is sneaking into the country, LOL - I keed, I keed)

Oh, I know, but How bout a slow drive by? Look over at me. For petes sake, I'm a 42 year old guy with 2 little kids sleeping in a van with non tinted windows. Why go through the whole pull me over, make me suck up to him, and shine the flashlight in thing. It just seems a bit too power hungry for me.

I've arrested old grandma/grandpa types that had drugs (seen on ol lady pull a gun after a regular speeding traffic stop), you can't judge a book solely on appearances of the driver. If the rental car is a common denominator in that area, you gotta go with it as a police officer. Don't worry, the bad guys will catch on and start a different tactic, then it will be the fed-ex drivers getting "harrassed" - LOL

The dog hit on something in your car, please step out so we might take a look.

No
(I'm sure he said more than just no, and I'm sure they asked and tried to be patient and debate if he had to get out or not more than just once)

sir, I'm ordering you out, or else you'll be arrested for obstruction.

No

That's all it takes for his actions to add to the probable cause, I know you are smart enough to know that. you're just trying to start something now aren't you. I warn you though, I've been going rounds all day with my ex-wife and her new husband (both cops) I called her the C word for excessively berating me by text and he left a nice voicemail threatening me if I called her a name again. They think they can take me to court over it apparently, so I'm ready to take any shit you think you can sling at me.....Honestly, it's the thinking exhibited in your final paragraph that causes people to dislike cops. I wasn't trying to "start something" at all; I asked a question to someone that I thought would know more about the situation than I do. You gave a reasonable answer, which was good, but then decided I needed an ulterior motive and your laundry.

I truley believe the agents "thought" they would find something in the car and were determined to search it. It would be very easy to say they had a hit from the dog even if that were untrue if they were convinced of finding something. A question...'Would you say that this persons rights were violated if indeed there was not a hit from the dog?'

The video starts with a half of the story that the "pastor" wants us to see.....
if his face was "completely covered in blood" then why wasn't the marks on his face bigger? how do we know that the marks on his face the next day were totally from the border patrol? Why didn't he comply with the officers from the start (whenever, or however long before we see the start of this video) How come we don't see the rest of his video, if he's so innocent, why didn't he post the rest of it?

Listen, people. STOP trying to get on national TV for your 5 minutes of fame, DO listen to the authority figure in a situation. They have so much to deal with as it is, why do you want to add to it? What does it benefit us as a nation?

The border patrol already has to deal with child porn, drugs, terrorists - do they really HAVE to worry about someone that is only trying to make something out of nothing?

SERIOUSLY, THE ONLY THING THAT IS GOING TO COME OF THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR IS SHOWING THE CHILD PORN PEDDLERS/DRUG DEALERS/TERRORISTS A WAY TO BEAT OUR NATIONAL SECURITY, AND GET THROUGH THE BORDER TO DO HARMFUL THINGS TO OUR COUNTRY, IT'S PEOPLE AND OUR CHILDREN.

The answer to #1 of course is my opinion only, but i would think that would go on the record of the animal in question. If a dog has, in the past been reliable, then I would think he/she should be given more leeway for errors, just as you (assuming) or I would be in our jobs. Anyone(thing) is apt to have a bad day. If it's a younger or less reliable dog then either retrain or DX it.

To question #2: I honestly don't know, but I would guess that they're required to keep a record. I will find out

True. But, if the whole case revolved around the dog hitting on the car then why not bring the dog back out again, something which apparently was requested when the arresting officer showed up and was denied..? Kind of suspicious behavior on both sides IMHO.

United States v Forbes (528 F. 3d 1273 (2008) Tenth Circuit

Border patrol agents have virtually unlimited discretion to refer cars to the secondary inspections area, and may make such referrals without any particularized suspicion of criminal activity.

Border patrol agents are free to conduct exterior canine inspections of vehicles so long as the vehicles and their occupants are otherwise lawfully detained at the time of the inspection. At the border, canine inspections are permissible even in the absence of individualized suspicion and even without the consent of the vehicle's driver or occupants. A canine's alert to the presence of contraband during an exterior sniff of a vehicle gives rise to probable cause for border patrol agents to search that vehicle's interior.

Even at border checkpoints, the Fourth Amendment prohibits the search of a vehicle's interior unless law enforcement officials receive consent, have a warrant, or otherwise establish probable cause to support the search.

United States v Whitted (541 F. 3d 480 (2008) Third Circuit

Searches conducted at the nation's borders represent an exception to the warrant requirement, which applies not only at the physical boundaries of the United States, but also at the functional equivalent of a border including the first port where a ship docks after arriving from a foreign country.

Border searches fall into two categories: routine searches that require no suspicion, and non-routine searches that require reasonable suspicion. Patdowns, frisks, luggage searches, and automobile searches, involving neither a high expectation of privacy nor a seriously invasive search, are “routine searches” that require no suspicion, whereas body cavity searches, strip searches, and x-ray examinations are considered “nonroutine searches” by virtue of their significant intrusion on an individual's privacy and require reasonable suspicion.

Search of private living quarters in a cabin aboard a ship at the functional equivalent of a border is a nonroutine border search and must be supported by reasonable suspicion of criminal conduct.

Officers prepared the room on the ship for the K-9 sniff. These preparations consisted of ensuring that no sharp objects, food, or anything else that might harm or distract the dog were in the cabin, moving bags from under the bed into the center of the room, and pressing the surface of the bags to expel any air inside. No bags were opened at this time.

I know it happens, ugly is everywhere, but I don't see it happening for no reason what so ever. The police exerting control comes from the heat of a growing incident in most cases, not the start. Not that it's not possible, I just think it's the by product of all the movies we watch, fear of the bad cop in the movies being a real life incident. Plus you are counting on several bad apples in this event, not just one.

Searching a vehicle when you think you'll find something and finding it is a much better feeling than saying there's nothing there after you forced him to let you look....

WARNING: Short Bible Study To Follow.... (Again, you've been warned. ;))

Mr. Anderson states on his website that he has memorized over 100 chapters of the Bible http://www.faithfulwordbaptist.org/page2.html
He should be familiar with Romans 13 which states:
"1. Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. 2 So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished. 3 For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you. 4 The authorities are God’s servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God’s servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong. 5 So you must submit to them, not only to avoid punishment, but also to keep a clear conscience."

The apostle Paul wrote these words to a group of early Christians who were suffering horribly at the hands of Nero who placed many of these early believers to death simply because they professed Jesus as Messiah. Paul told them to be submissive to governing authorities, even those who were persecuting Christians.
The only time that Christians are to rebel against Civil Authority or disobey the law according to the Bible is found in Acts 5 when the apostles had been told to stop preaching in the name of Jesus. Acts 5:29 "But Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than any human authority."

Mr. Anderson was not being asked to do anything that contradicts the Bible in anyway. He should have consented to the authorities and went on his way. But instead, he chose this path and tries to make himself out to be a martyr.
I don't buy it. Yes, there are corrupt authorities and yes their actions are contemptible but Mr. Anderson was simply acting the fundamentalist, King James Version only preacher that he is. I'm sure that he will be the key note speaker at this fall's Independent Baptist Preachers' Convention. I'm only too glad that I won't have to listen to his rhetoric.

And yes, I am a Christian. I just have major issues with Fundamental Legalists who would rather argue over doctrinal issues than share the hope and freedom that Jesus promises to those who will follow Him.

Heres my two cents if anyone cares. I know that cops have to deal with more bullshitake than almost anyone in these great states. Most of us have a bad day at work and we get yelled at by our boss. They have a bad day at work and they lose their life, or their partners life or a childs life. Thats some messed up crap to have to deal with on a daily basis.

But I also could probably count on my one hand if not one than definately 2 hands the amount of helpful and respectable cops Ive met in my entire 26 years of life. Thats not good. I do know that I have not met every cop, and I do know there are a lot more good ones out there. It used to be to serve and to protect and I do believe it is now to harrass and to arrest.

Not saying the guy deserved what he got, not saying he didn't. I don't know the full story of what happened. But I do know that if you pull the "youre violating my rights" card that just pisses them off and they are going to do what they want cause they know they will get away with it. And that I believe is the fault of the system.

You can pretty much piece together what probably happened. He's coming through border check and is being a wise-ass, not answering questions, etc. Border police get annoyed with him and bring the dog over and say the dog is acting funny, when in reality it probably wasn't, but it gives them reason to ask him to exit the vehicle, etc.

He refuses to exit, acts smug, pisses them off further, etc. Then he turns on the camera and acts all innocent asking reasonable questions. At this point the police are fed up with him and their tempers are short. They aren't going to bring the dog back with the camera running because the dog probably won't do anything out of the ordinary other than lick its own balls. They can't even give him a reason for why he's being detained other than to say he isn't following their present order. They don't really have reasonable suspicion (not that I'm sure any is needed at a border crossing) for anything other than Rule 1: Show a wise ass who is boss and who is wearing the badge. I have no sympathy for anyone in the video.

This says it all really in a nut shell.

1. The police do need a reason to arrest you.
1.a. The police claim to have had a reason.

2. You do have a right to know why you are being detained or arrested.
2.a. The police told the guy why he was being arrested.

3. You must be cooperative with reasonable demands while being arrested.
3.a. The guy declined to get out of the car.

4. You do not get to make any demands while being arrested.
4.a. The police aren't obligated to bring the dog back out.

Moral of the story, if you think your rights are being violated you have two choices: cooperate and complain later or get your ass kicked and complain about more stuff later.

Did the dog alert? We'll never know, but that is what the police said and (I'm sure) what they will continue to say. Like it or not, that will probably be enough excuse for everything that happened subsequently.
