94 Freeway Fascism - Border Patrol Checkpoint harasses Americans

I am not a "profile" type of suspect for these cops. I am a "white guy" - my family has been in America since 1700. I was stopped and harassed nonetheless as the emerging American police state we live in is gradually expanding and touching more people's lives. As I was sitting in Detention on the side of an American Highway I began, in my mind, to update the words of WWII Minister Martin Neimoller, as I thought that "first they will come for the" immigrants and then "they will come for me", the Native Born United States Citizen.

What I experienced is that San Diego assigned Border Patrol Officers Villalobos, Ward, Kennedy, and a dumpy short blonde female are illegally (in my opinion), popping open people's car trunks on freeway 94 by scaring and bullying people into giving "Consent" to search the vehicles. These Officers gave me and other Motorists an offer we could not refuse at their checkpoint stop. Either give "consent" for them to search our cars and trunks or else we are pulled over to the side of the freeway where we have to sit on a bench and be stared at and humiliated in front of all of the other motorists passing by.

I innocently gave the first officer who was manning the actual booth, my wife and my passports, cooperated with him more than he deserved by telling him I had been in Mexico buying floor tile; however, when he then asked me to "give consent" to him to search my trunk I went "huh!!" and then the full impact of the stop hit me fast! I quickly shot back at him that I already went through Immigration at Tecate and that I was not going to open anything for him. He repeated his question a few more time and then asked me to pull over to the side of the road; whereupon three other officers descended on my car, ordering me out of the car and to step away from the car and to sit on a bench. The other three officers each asked me to give consent to search my trunk and I repeatedly told them no, that I am a paid up member of the ACLU and that I am refusing to give consent to search my trunk voluntarily as a matter of principle.

Subsequently, the lead officer said that either I gave consent or he would bring out his "dogs' to smell my car, and I told him that he still did not have consent to open my trunk. By this point the officer's demeanor showed that he appeared "hellbent" on getting into my trunk one way or another.

Officers Ward, Kennedy and Villalobos then brought out their Phony Scam "Sniffing Dogs" who ran around my car and then barked & sort of leapt up a few times while running around the car; whereupon the lead officer then declared that he now had the legal right to forcibly open my trunk, and demanded that I give him my car key, and so I involuntarily complied.
The officer then searched my car as well as my trunk and undercarriage for about 10 minutes and of course found nothing of interest, as I all I had in my trunk was a spare tire and a box of floor tile.
I don't know if the Border Patrol either got ripped off by whomever sold them the dog, or if the whole dog-sniffing thing is an actual scam where the dog barks at every car so the Border Patrol can pretend they have probable cause to search in every case, or lastly, and more likely, that the dog did not "signal" anything at all by his "bark", and the officer was probably full of shit.

In my case these agents also took my Passport, (which I had on me), and my California Drivers License and went inside and made photocopies of all of it to keep for their files. The officer in charge even sent the blond female officer back inside with loud orders to copy all of the pages in my Passport. (Was this to somehow scare or intimidate me?) They then returned our IDs and Passports and gave me my keys back and told us nonchalantly that we could now leave.
During the 30 minutes of our Detention I argued with the lead agent, I think he was Officer Ward, over what he was doing and we bantered back and forth about the 4th Amendment on Search and Seizure law, with him claiming that he took 7 classes in Criminal Law in College. Apparently he must have been forgotten to take a class in Civil Liberties and Constitutional Law.

Also, In the midst of this My wife then began taking pictures of the four Agents while we were sitting on the Bench and it totally freaked them out, with them running over yelling to stop taking pictures.

In summary, this is the kind of thing that happens in old B-rated Nazis movies where fat-faced fascists bark out "Papers Please" to scared citizens. It is crystal clear to me now that the Border Patrol needs to be driven off of America's Highways and Neighborhoods by the Citizenry as they are a Clear and Present Danger to all of our Civil Liberties.

I found out later by searching the Internet that Citizens do not have to give ID to them and that I did not actually have to even talk to them, so I apparently went way overboard in giving them my passport and drivers license and chatting with them about where I had been and where I was going. From now on it will be their problem to figure out my nationality as I am only going to say, "Am I being Detained" and "Am I free to go", and I suggest all of you readers stand up for freedom and do the same and not even roll down the window when stopped by these fascist scum.

We are losing our Country, not to Undocumented Immigrants, (who are the ones actually building and saving this Nation in every measure). but to a creeping Police State that is chipping away at our Liberty a little at a time, conditioning us to live in a Totalitarian State.
============================
If would powerful to see a picket line along the side of the 94 freeway some weekend afternoon with flyers and signs informing people that they do not have to give consent for their cars to be searched or for their trunks to be opened and that the Checkpoints are an anathema to a free society.
