Totally a free country though
When approaching the checkpoint my friend Dan always says, “ok everyone, try to look white.”
Well before President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown further opened the door for agents and officers to question people about their citizenship and legal status, the Border Patrol had been doing exactly that at checkpoints flanking roadways within the United States.
Finally it is put out in the open that the US has border patrols flanking roadways in the United States
This includes states like Missouri where border patrol troopers will stop you at the borders for being overly tanned and noone is safe
With Terry Stops no probable cause is needed and neither is evidence because whatever the jackboot tells the judge is what happened
Trump might be taking the mask off but the face underneath was always there
I live on the west coast, several miles from the ocean. No checkpoints here.
Weirdly enough, the “100 miles within a border” rule also applies to coastlines, not just borders to another country. So US immigration officials are allowed to set up checkpoints, board vehicles without warrants, and search for people without immigration documentation there too. 60% of the US population is apparently included in this zone due to large cities being along the coast.
