"You have no rights, you have temporary privileges." -George Carlin.
KGK Skull so what circus blew you here?
“If a right can be taken away, then it isn’t a right.” -George Carlin (I think)
@@chickenman6308 It’s a circus to be wise?
I always say, freedoms and liberties are just illusions brought to you by the government.
"Sometimes people say, 'Do I try to make audiences think?' I say: 'No no no,' because that really would be the kiss of death," Carlin said in his final interview before his death in 2008. "But what I want them to know is that I’m thinking. It’s part of that showoff and dropout syndrome. I think I need to show them that I have brought myself to a cleverer, smarter spot than they have."
You missed that the Nasa engineer in question was of color, and that wouldn't believe he was a Nasa Engineer.

@@OpinionesDeJACCsOpinions In the context of Border Security, which has been steeped in controversy over bigotry, I would think it matters a lot.
Also they detained him at an airport and refused to let him communicate with anyone for help. International airports are considered border patrol zones too...

Except there's no Border Patrol in Hawaii

@@starkstudios5038 Not federal immigration authorities. I don't know what the state does, but federal immigration law doesn't do that.

"It's a flimsy pretext for racial profiling dumdum."
One of my customers snapped at all the Spanish speaking customers. I replied back to her in Polish, then snapped my dad's a Polish immigrant. He escaped Communist Poland in the 60's. People don't just leave their country on a whim. They have reasons. Quit the racial profiling. Immigrants are everyone except Native Americans.
If your father escaped Poland in the 1960s, he apparently forgot to tell you how horrible Communism (i.e. modern liberal democratic political ideology) is for everyone. And please stop draggin' that liberal trope out about "everyone is an immigrant" crap. It's an argument of pure semantics and is designed to make everyone a victim. I'm 50% Native American and I get really tired of hearing it from entitled, liberal white people.
Ummm, even Native Americans are immigrants, or did you not take that class in biology and history?
@@Astrobucks2 Let me guess, You're a member of the Warren Tribe? Or are you playing your own semantic games?

@@Astrobucks2 why the hell are you blabering on about Communism. He said nothing good nor bad about communism, just that his dad left communist poland in the 60s. He didnt say anything like advocating or denouncing communism, so your entire rant makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. You're reacting off a trigger word cuz he said "communism".

I have lived in Louisiana and currently reside in Houston, and I have never seen a check point. The map showing the boarder zone is probably just to show where they have jurisdiction, not where you are likely to run into a check point. As far as I can tell getting pulled over at a check point is more of a problem between Texas and California (maybe close to the Canadian boarder). Coastal areas just monitor the docks.
But I have hear the behavior at check points to be exactly as described here if not more racist.
Same lived in south Louisiana for 27 years and I've never even seen a border patrol agent let alone a checkpoint they set up. The only checkpoints I've seen are dui checkpoints.
CraniumAmbiguity I mean it might just be you. I’ve seen like a few in my time. Besides 100 miles is a lot of ground to cover so it makes sense not all of it is militarized
@@lorenalareyna5819 None of it is militarized.
I live just outside of El Paso, and they have a checkpoint on every road leaving EP/Las Cruces, NM area. Officers will just wave through some cars, while others will get stopped and searched.
Speaking for the north, if you look at that map Maine is all a border zone, the coast you never see them since that primarily is watched by coast guard if anyone, and then for the Candian border its only the larger traffic areas like Rangley, but even then its less check points and more just seeing boarder patrol SUV driving around. The boarder between Maine Canada is so wide and un-patrolled I have found myself driving a back road and end up seeing a Canadian town and having to quickly turn around.

I only came for the comments...and I wasn't disappointed
We got stopped when we were visiting an aunt in Arizona and we got stopped because I, a 12 year old at the time, fell asleep in the car while reading Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets. As any confused 12 year old child stuck on the highway in a neighbouring country would do, flipped out and started crying because I caused my family to be stuck on the highway for a long time.
Like an Arstotzkan border inspector said “Papers Please!”
I’ve been stopped by Border Patrol twice. Once in California (middle of nowhere, but major checkpoint), the other in the Adirondacks in New York. The stop in NY was literally one agent stopping whomever was driving down this random highway. Just don’t be one of those “I don’t answer questions” people and you will likely just move along.

You guys MISSPELLED "Brignoni-Ponce" as "Brigoni-Ponce", and you got the OPPOSITE conclusion out of it. The supreme court said that they could NOT judge someone's nationality based on appearance.
verdatum you could not judge nationality SOLELY on appearance. You could use it as a basis for determination but you better have something else.
the "border zone" reach is actually far worse than what he showed here because it also includes airports with international flights
Damn it! I was gonna try to avoid the border patrol problem by using planes instead of cars.
So basically the only areas where you aren’t legally at risk of this is Bumfuck, Wyoming
I like how this is what has become of the entirety of the Philippines.
They passed a Law that's suppose to counter "terrorism", but anyone in uniform (Police, military etc.) are allowed to detain anyone based off of mere suspicion; And it's guilty until proven innocent, as people are detained for up to 24 days.
Recently, a nun who criticized the government was tagged as a potential terrorist so she was detained. A family of Muslims was also stopped because they were "suspicious" due to how they dress and the boxes they brought with them (Even when they show that the boxes were filled with perfumes the police just wouldn't stop checking their stuff). They demanded papers and aggressively kept telling them that they are doing this because they are suspicious, they only stopped when the father showed them that he was an Engineer.
They cornered students when they were protesting in their campus, police armed with riot shields and batons. They even detained someone who didn't participate in the protest, because he asked the police why they were doing this; Best part is the police actually didn't know about what violations were done by the students.
RIP Fourth Amendment. You were great, while you lasted, but I guess the Founding Fathers didn't actually mean it, when they added you to the Constitution.
How exactly does anything of this fall under the prohibition of unreasonable searches and seizures? To search someone because you suspect they might be breaking the law is not unreasonable all the time. It can be but to catch crimes you have to be able to do searches on people not doing any crimes.
To take someone into custody while processing them such as when they refuse to have their car searched and you think there might be drugs there is not unreasonable.
I believe you americans have forgotten what unreasonable actually is. Back in the days people got arrested and forced to work slave labor as a prisoner for years before any trials even start. Sometimes they might just pissed of a noble and get sent to jail when no crimes were done. What unreasonable searches and seizures looks like is when the law enforcement or guards start targeting you for searches knowing that you have nothing and is inocent. When they take you into custody to make sure you miss your flights or to just harrass you are unreasonable. When someone does this it goes against the Fourth Amendment. Setting up a checkpoint with random searches at the border and give you a random search only to have you put into custody because you refuse is not unreasonable. The reason for the checkpoint was resonable. The reason to search you was most likely reasonable. To take you into custody is reasonable. If they suspect you are a drug smuggler they can't leave you in the car with the evidence with cellphone access as you will just dispose of the evidence or warn everyone.
Cloud Seeker the Fourth Amendment is supposed to be be used for all crimes of police officers using a warrant for every crime because otherwise there’s no purpose in teaching the Amendments in school if they’re a dead document like what Adam points out in this video.
The lack of color in the video and twilight zone music makes this all the more scary
Living in southern New Mexico CPB may as well be the cartel with uniforms. Most of my life in Maryland,also technically a 'border' state, I may have seen border patrol a dozen times. More illegals come here on ships than walk across the desert.
the thing about the phones is true. i heard about it
I live in Houston and go to Dallas frequently. Never ever seen a border patrol checkpoint.
Bad research on their part. You are lucky tho I live in San Diego California and we got border patrol checkpoint in the mountains between us and imperial valley, never been stoped myself but dang! They do love to cause traffic
That’s because you’re white. And just because it happens to you, it’s been shown to happen to a lot of other people.
@@cftpafan don't pull the race card
@@cftpafan yeah because his white skin prevents him from seeing a checkpoint, I hate when that happens.
@@JC-jb8hj I love when white people say "don't play the race card" like this is 3045 and we've transcended all forms of racial inequality and live in harmony with each other.
My family spans through California and Arizona. Collectively, we've been stopped by the border patrol A LOT when we visit each other. I've been stopped three times. They ask to see one of two documents: A state ID for citizens or a green card for legal residents. They'll also take a US passport or a birth certificate (for US born minors). It happens to us so often, we consider it routine. We know when we travel, we have to take identification of our legal status . They mostly stop you when you're out in the middle of the road somewhere.
Conservatives like me should be furious at things like this from our government. It's totally unconstitutional and wrong for them to do.
I am not sure you are a conservative as you should have recognized that this is propaganda that is meant to advocate for open borders and no searching for illegal immigrants. They take true things but then explain them in misleading and incorrect ways to frame a narrative that border controls are racist and shouldn't be allowed.
Like how border agents shouldn't be allowed to stop people they think are illegal mexicans, or how they have to detain people when they refuse to search their cars. When you are refuse allowing them to search you car things just gets much more complicated. Now they have to verify who you are without you helping them to do so. That means they need to contact various agencies and courts to get the right to search your car, and you can't leave while doing this. This means you have to be detained for days or weeks while the slow bureaucracy work. To frame this as racial profiling and malicious acts is extremely dishonest. When you refuse to work with the system, expect the system to be slow.
Things like this actually should unite people across the political spectrum. I am to the left of liberals and I would agree with you here.
@@raney150 Totally agree, I think in general we sometimes think about politics wrong on a left right spectrum, when we should really think about it on a freedom authoritarian spectrum. I respect someone like Bill Maher a lot because even though I disagree with him on a lot he still believes in the fundamental tenants of freedom like freedom of speech and opposes authoritarian systems like theocracy. I think we should do more reaching accross the isle even with people who disagree especially if they believe in the same fundamental things like freedom and equality that we do! Thanks for the comment!
@@Cloud_Seeker I don't think it is a conservative/ freedom loving thing to allow cops to just randomly stop people arbitrarily especially for people who "look hispanic" You also are not required to answer cops at these points because there is no reason to think anyone has done anything illegal. These allow cops to basically randomly stop people to try to catch them doing something wrong, similar things happen with DUI checkpoints where cops use it to give out a ton of tickets and find 1 or 2 actual DUI's. They just are dumb in my view.
Most conservatives are conservative in name only. We have been brainwashed to believe conservative is antiliberal instead of base values.
That being said be careful Adam is pretty loose with his facts.

The Bush Administration may be long gone but you still have to live with the results of it for decades America. I guess you'll never learn.
Curiousity overwhelms me, what part is something Bush did? When I learned about the "Border Zone" which is not what it's called, it was during the Clinton administration, but the ruling goes back long before that.
@@jamesscott6917 Bush created the DHS, parent of the Border Patrol - I think that is why Aman is blaming him. I hate Bush, but this wasn't really his fault, and he had very reasonable ideas about the Mexican border. And the Border Patrol and the 100 mile rule both existed long before Bush.
While there isn't a checkpoint between Dallas and Houston, as seen in this video, there is one in every direction away from El Paso. It's 100% in the U.S. and can be scary the first time you see it. They aren't as excited to search you as these guys. They mostly just stand in the sun and ask you questions. Still, I don't feel like I need to be stopped.

Breaking the Fourth Amendment right there.
Wow you mean that if someone sees a checkpoint and then turn around and leave the border patrol can stop them.
Yes, they can. It's what they call in the business a "clue" of guilty conduct. Turning around on a major highway to avoid a checkpoint? Why would you do that?
@@jamesscott6917 being suspicious isn't a crime though.
law enforcement, be they BP, or a patrolman, effectively treating everyone as potential criminals or enemy combatants is a problem. Yes, dangerous people are caught too, and that's an undeniable good, but the presumption of innocence is all but gone now. That's...less good.
"You're guilty of something and we're gonna keep you locked up till we find out what it is" is a worrying position for agents of the state, who can legally kill you moving the "wrong" way, to hold- wouldn't you agree?
irighterotica a traffic stop isn’t an arrest or imprisonment either. It’s not treating it as a crime, it’s an investigation to resolve REASONABLE SUSPICION of a crime. Law enforcement DOES NOT treat “everyone” as a criminal. No, the presumption of innocence is not gone, the investigation is conducted, the suspicions resolved and the person stopped is released or detained further. No, I don’t agree, because the two scenarios aren’t what happens. Be more realistic and we can discuss it.
I was driving in Texas while on work trip and was dropped by some boards agent (I was tens of miles away from the border with Mexico) I also look Hispanic because of my ethnicity. I’m not Hispanic.

You're talking about civil liberties not civil rights
civil right, as in "4th amendment civil right"
Karens be like "How the ___ violates your civil rights"
Gonna play devils advocate here: most of these policies “may” have been created with the best intentions in mind, however the entire system has become so corrupted that it’s hard to tell what good it does for anyone. And its hard to point the finger at who to blame, the patrollers are doing their assigned jobs as they’re instructed, but who gave them the instructions? Who said the need for those instructions were so great that they had to become a law (as in, “we have such a problem with xx immigrants that we need a law that allows racial profiling without directly calling it that), -> the best thing for everyone would be to eliminate the security theater & create an actual successful system, but so many people buy into the fear mob mentality & refuse to open up to new information or new ideas that it seems like a loss cause.

When it comes to liberties as fundamental as the freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, there is no argument worth even entertaining as to when such should be suspended. And as for the "at least they have jobs" argument... If your job involves routine violations of fundamental rights, it's a job that, in and of itself, has no right to exist.
Zeldagigafan -> I would agree that most of the positions don’t need to be forceful - to have trained personnel search at locations can be needed depending on the items (like to help keep produce from crossing that could cause an outbreak, a major problem that can be prevented from simply asking to see if anyone has any) -> however I do believe a major flaw in the system (there are soo many but here’s just 1) is that lack of knowledge to the public. We love to recite our rights but the truth is most people don’t know them, & when we feel our rights are being broken we get angry & lash out -> causing the situation to escalate more -> “justifying” the need for more evasive search procedures.
That fascinates me, because I am pretty sure the supreme court ruled against racially profiling in the case, US v. Brignoni as they said it is a violation of the 4th amendment as they dropped the charges against Brignoni-Ponce.

Ohh god a enemy country could use this as a spy tactic
thats so messed up
Apart from that they are lying to you. Yes. They can stop you if they think you should be searched, but so can random police officers if they think you are driving drunk. The police do not need a court order to make a sobriety check on you as you will be long gone and sober by the time they get that court order. How exactly are you supposed to catch people that should not legally be in the country when you can't stop them around the border and can't ask who they are? Are you not allowed to follow people and pull them over if they just happen to turn tail and run when they see a checkpoint? Should the police doing a checkpoint to check for drunk drivers not be able to follow anyone that turn around to find another way? The people that think they shouldn't must think people are idiots. Criminals will not walk into a checkpoint knowing they get caught. Its nothing but reasonable to assume those that avoid checkpoints have something to hide. Most normal people just go through, complies and then leave as its nothing to worry about.
@@Cloud_Seeker I'm not going to try to get too political, but it's not all that hard to tell if someone is driving under the influence. Most of the time, they're going far faster than the speed limit, they're veering on the road and when they're actually pulled over, they'll likely sound drunk with slurred speech. Also people don't have to be drunk either. Police might think something suspicious is going on with drivers when it's something small like accidentally going through a red light or not stopping at a stop sign broken headlight etc. all because of their race. Racial profiling. Just like with border agents.
Please keep doing Twilight Zone references
This is wrong, so wrong.
Not really. They are just lying to you in textbook definition of proaganda.
Half of what that dumbass said was BS
What is wrong with wanting to protect the sovereignty of your nation?
“A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation.”― Ronald Reagan
"The American people are a welcoming and generous people. But those who enter our country illegally, and those who employ them, disrespect the rule of law. And because we live in an age where terrorists are challenging our borders, we cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. Americans are right to demand better border security and better enforcement of the immigration laws." -- Barack Obama (April 3, 2006)
@@Luckysquirrel1256 you do not understand, i meant the misinformation and propaganda
@@coolstoryneedsmoredragons4336 ahh, my apologizes it can be hard to tell since there really are people that eat up this TruTV junk, and take Adam's words as gospel.
If all of Hawaii is within the border zone, I'm guessing all of Puerto Rico is also part of the border zone and they probably have check points since lots of Dominicans cross into PR.
What does Melania trump says to her speech writer?
Thanks Obama
I live in north eastern Ohio, but I don’t remember any body being stoped by a border patrol officer, this is untrue
Actually, all this is true. Just because you don't remember something doesn't make it untrue.
Stoppages don’t really happen in northern parts
@@littlemacisunderrated412 well tbh if it keeps criminals out in ok with it, however I think Adam kinda over plays the whole thing, acting like it’s very frequent and a huge problem
It's almost like they're looking for non American citizens
well, they are doing a poor job of it and are only bothering american citizens
I mean who needs civil liberties or protection from the government.
So the ends justify violating everyone's rights then?
Then what does an American look like to you? Based on the kind of person you are, I know what you're gonna say.
I got in trouble for having an orange on board, but then I saw the police officer eating the orange!
Lol pushing an agenda so playing the same crap over and over
We have that in Canada - it is called Check Stops.
I remember when Adam actually used to do research for his videos... What kind of source is a podcast with no actually statistics or proof of events happening. Also using an ACLU study from 2015, to complain about current border patrol policies seems kind of wack.
Ignoring the fact that it has "ACLU 2019". Negro that was 4 years ago. You think that's a giant leap of time. Then again you're probably like 13 and that's a 1/3 of your life span.
He does. His cited sources are literally on any talking point made on the top-right. Either you're blind or just plain stupid.
Child protective services! I love to hear whats said about that
This show seemed pretty good until left wing politics got involved.
Al Singleton It was. The show was enjoyable until TruTV decided to read their leftist heads into the production. You can clearly see the difference in his show from season one and season two.
"This show was good until the facts contradicted my beliefs"
Yet when right wing politics are introduced
So civil liberties from unwarranted profiling is exclusively left wing?
@@tinothee8650 Don't be a baby.
Anyone notice that the guy that played Erin from the fosters acted in this?
Unsubscribing
John Henry why?
Yeah why
Bye
@xxSK1LL10NA1RExx Joe Rogan doesn't believe autism exist
xxSK1LL10NA1RExx the truth tends to have left wing bias. It’s not fun to be a right wing shill
I live in the border zone and I have never been stopped ones or seen anyone be stopped in my entire life
The map just shows where they have jurisdiction, not where there is certain to be checks
100% wrong. This is a show for mindless drone yes puppets
Where is he wrong, and what is the correction?
Zeldagigafan where is he right?
Most of this “show” is ignorant propaganda with half truths and no real facts to back any of it up
@@c.h.r.i.s2253 You made the claim, you gotta back it up.
Zeldagigafan no, that’s not how it works. Obviously you are a yes puppet. The person claiming to be telling the truth or those yes puppets blindly supporting have to provide indisputable proof of fact. I do not I am saying just about 100% of what is said on this mindless propaganda show is twisted,half “truths” that when actually looked at and analyzed will be found to be misleading and not actual fact rather opinion based on just part of the facts that are negated when the full actual fact is brought to light. As well as the majority of it just plain lies in hope nobody calls them out
@@c.h.r.i.s2253 Claims made without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence. I'm not saying he's right, I'm not saying your wrong, what I am saying is that I need examples, and descriptions of why you think Adam is wrong. Example below.
Claim: Cell phone radiation causes cancer
Counter-evidence: The radiation from cell phones is non-ionizing, meaning it is incapable of changing the chemical structure of whatever happens to be absorbing that radiation, furthermore, there are other factors that are contributing to the raising cancer rate, including, but not limited to, malnourishment, obesity, and exposure to known carcinogens.

i feel like most of the police in US are like high school bullies who never grew up
I dont don't see the problem with this
Agreed.
Their just doing their job.
@@Sigmar_Heldenhammer Yeah...the Nuremberg trials proved that wasn't an excuse
Maybe that's just because you don't live in the border zone. The fourth amendment is pretty clear. While there can indeed be searches after an arrest, any searches prior to an arrest MUST have either a warrant, or reasonable suspicion, and probable cause is required for a warrant.
@@ZeldagigafanMatthew well I mean, it's worth it. They're keeping our country safe. If they didn't do they're job there would be murderers, rapists and drug dealers coming into our country. I'd rather be searched than murdered
