Pastor Beaten And Tased By Arizona Border Patrol

I'd be interested to hear more on this - those videos are awful though.

This has been happening to Black men for decades. Now it's happening to whites.......

Hey, it could be worse. He could have gotten OC sprayed. Anyone who's experienced both will tell you OC is about 10x worse. Unfortunately, while the Border Patrol currently has an experiemental tazer program going on right now with a few select agents carrying tazers in the field, the vast majority of agents right now are only authorized to carry OC spray.  I can tell you right now that if this guy's claiming that he was tazed by Border Patrol (and he saw this happen apparently while his hands covered his eyes, by the way) and then he remembers a border patrol agent stepping on his head(how can you see someone who's on top of you stepping on your head?).  I'll grant to you that the Border Patrol are mean sons of bitches, and they don't mess around when they feel like you might be a threat to their safety. But I'm quite sure it was DPS who tazed the man, and pulled him out of the vehicle. If you have seen this guys previous videos (in which, he provokes agents by yelling and citing the 4th amendment over and over again stating that they can not search him because he lives in the United STates of America) you'll understand why he can be viewed as a threat.

I find it odd that he wasn't recording this particular encounter when he has recorded at least one that I know of in the past. This pastor claims there were cameras recording the whole thing,  I'd like to see the footage.

  If this guy didn't have the title of "Pastor" to hide behind we wouldn't even be discussing this.  Its simple, a Border patrol dog allerted to the vehicle at the border patrol checkpoint as it was comming up to the stop sign.  The agents directed the driver aka "Pastor" to a secondary inspection area, but it was buisness as usual for the pastor who taunts both federal agents and state police agencies throught the country (see his multiple u-tube videos).  The pasture fails to obide by the agents comands and leaves his vehicle parked and blocking interstate 8.  This pastor refuses to move, roll his window down, unlock his door or move to the secondary inspection area for an hour.   AZ DPS is called to assist with the situation.  The DPS officers arrive with the knowledge that a vehicle was alerted to by a K-9, the vehicle was blocking a major interstate, and the driver was failing to obey agents commands.  A k-9 alerting to a vehicle is "Probable Cause" to search a vehicle.  DPS Officers give the driver a "lawfull" order to step out of the vehicle.  driver disobeys a direct, and lawfull order of a police officer.  the officer lets the driver know they will have to break the window to remove him from the vehicle.  driver still refuses to budge.  passenger side window is broken by DPS and drivers side window by border patrol.  the driver is physically removed from the vehicle by border patrol.  its evident he was tazed in the process and his head was cut from glass.  notice he claimed to have been beaten and tortured.  he was ever excited to show the cuts to his head and the tazer burns, but where were the bruises from being hit, or kicked.  i'm sure he would have showed them, but the simple fact is that he wasn't beaten. This pastor was emmediately tended to at the scene for his cuts, and then taken to a hospital.  This pastor is anti law enforcement, and it's clearly evident from his u-tube videos.  I'ts my opinion that this guy has finally reached the outcumb he's been looking for (lawsuit).  I bet the border patrol video of the event and pastor's personal video of the event will show a long drawn out situation that law enforcement attempted to resolve without force (over an hour), and that officials were left with no alternative option but to physically take this criminal into custody.  The pastor was tended to imediately at the scene for the cuts to his head. To hear this pastor lie about the facts, and leave out important details of the occurance is upsetting.  I feal bad for the agents, and officer who were put in this disgusting situation by this criminal.  I guess they could have looked the other way.  Is that what we expect police to do, to look the other way.

Exceptions to the Warrant and Probable Cause Requirements

1. The "Automobile Exception"

The most commonly-applied exception to the warrant requirement is the "automobile

exception," which provides that, if law enforcement officers have probable cause to believe that anautomobile contains incriminating evidence or contraband, a warrantless seizure of the car (and its driver), search of the car, and ultimate seizure of such items are permitted under the Fourth Amendment.11 Officers need not believe that there are "exigent circumstances" justifying the warrantless search; the mere fact that they possess probable cause to believe that contraband or evidence is inside the vehicle is sufficient.12 This exception has been extended to apply to mobile homes and boats, so long as such vehicles are "readily capable" of being made "movable." Police officers' right to search vehicles without a warrant pursuant to the "automobile exception" does not cease once the vehicle has been impounded by the police.California v. Acevedo, 500 U.15 S. 565 (1991); see also United States v. Ross, 456 U.S.

Welcome to the USSA ladies and gentlemen! A search is warranted just because some overzealous pig says he is suspicious and believes he will find something inside. You assert your rights and ask WHY and get your rear end beat down and repeatedly tased, and this is all done in the name of national security. get real America. the KGB is next people, and you're all too dumb to step up and stop it. land of the free and home of the brave my rear end! F*what the USA is becoming as well as the PIGS that terriorize it!
