video showing a near thirty-five minute Border Patrol detention by a driver who crossed no borders
Emphasis mine. The video is in response to multiple cases of harassment according to the video.

If you have ever been around the border they have these checkpoints everywhere. They stop everyone and give everyone ****. I have never been bothered this bad, but I am usually in a caravan with a trailer with a dozen or so Kayaks on it when I am near the border. I am always surprised they don't want to search in the kayaks for drugs.It bothers me that this officer feels he has to challenge these agents who work for the same employer as he, the American Citizen.
Got a cite for that, gyvel?
I still can't figure out why this guy wasn't fully cooperative with the Border Patrol!
I will agree with others and say they don't seem at all concerned with whether he is a citizen or whether he has drugs on him. They just seem interested in making sure he knows who is in charge and if he doesn't do as they say things will turn out badly for him. The stop lasted thirty minutes and we have less than ten minutes of video and we lack any record at all of the previous situations, but from what we have the BP does not look good.We expect 100% exclusion of illegals, illegal drugs, terrorists, etc.
But we scream bloody murder when they try to do the job we expect them to do.
It is my belief the video demonstrates a fourth amendment violation and is evidence of a culture in LEO that is unconcerned with civil liberty.
