Bob,
They must think your suspicious.....
I went through Las Cruses two weeks ago on I-10 they just waved me through...
We should just annex Mexico .......They would have a first , second amendment, castle doctrine etc and give them six months to "fix" their own damn problems.
They've gotten a lot calmer lately.. Did you notice all the nice facial recognition cameras?? They already
know who you are when you pull up.. They have them going south bound also..
7,8,9,10 years ago it was a F'n pain in the ass.. They would back the highway up 45 minutes.. I'd get in argument
with them at least once a week..
The worst one I've had in the past 4 years... Pull up,
Mr. McTinyPenisCantGetaJobAsARealCop: "where are you coming from?"
Me: (leaning out the window, pointing backwards) "That-A-Way, you just saw me pull in!!!"
Mr. McTinyPenisCantGetaJobAsARealCop: "Let me guess(pointing forwards) and you're going that-a-way"
Me: Hey!!! You're pretty fucking smart.
Mr. McTinyPenisCantGetaJobAsARealCop: "get out of here"
And he called me an asshole as I was pulling away..
One of my favorites..
BPA (Border Patrol Agent
or Asshole) Where you headed.
Me: None of your goddamn business
BPA: Sir, I'm just trying to do my job.
Me: (hanging out the window and pointing backwards again) "No Sir, your job is 50 miles that way".
Shenanigans ensued, supervisor had to get up off his fat ass and come out of the shack...
For a long time they would take them off the border to man the internal checkpoints and some of those assholes
didn't seem to understand that crossing an international border and traveling within the US are 2 totally
different things..
"Sir, you aren't leaving here until you answer my questions"
"Then we are going to be sitting here for a LONG FUCKING TIME.. Am I free to go?"
Then you get into the whole.. "No you can't leave"... "Am I being detained?" "No"
"Then I'm free to go", "No you can't leave", "Then I am being detained?" "No", "Then
I'm free to go" ETC ETC ETC..
Then of course...
"Sir, you're holding up the line, can you answer my questions?"
"I've already asked if I can go,
YOU are holding up the line".
They really haven't done that shit in a long time..
For a while they got "smarter".. They are looking for coyotes and drug runners... Instead of
asking questions that would piss regular people (ME) off, they would make a bit of small talk
and look for reactions.. That worked a lot better..
Lately with much lower staffing at the checkpoints, they've been blowing people through pretty quick.. A lot
more dogs, though I'm not sure what they expect to find.. Weed in New Mexico isn't coming from the south any
more, its coming from the north, the great state of Colorado. Maybe they are looking for Coke and Meth, I have
no idea if a dog can smell that, or its just more theater.
In reality. As much as I hate Border Patrol, they are mostly just folks trying to make an honest living, and
99% of them are good folks, just like cops.. But that 1%
, and that whole internal checkpoint thing just
pisses me right the fuck off.. Why the fuck do I have to go through a FEDERAL CHECKPOINT to go to the shop? I'm
an AMERICAN citizen, traveling
supposedly freely throughout the United States, and I have to stop
and declare my citizenship and get questioned.. Its BULLSHIT, its like living in Nazi Germany.
If the Border Patrol was doing its job, they wouldn't need a checkpoint. And they have plenty of agents. 14
BP vehicles down here one day at Sparky's (the BBQ joint), 80 miles from the BORDER. Once in a while I catch
them sitting here in the driveway at the shop, I tell them to get the fuck out.. Sheriff, Hatch cops, Statey's, even
DOT and metro narcotics, hang out in my drive way all you want.. Border Patrol, go patrol the border,
get the fuck out of my driveway.
