We're not going to unless you threaten
to arrest us or break our window.
>> You're going to be
>> So, you're threatening to arrest us.
>> Then you're going to be arrested if you
won't get out of the vehicle.
>> And I'm letting you know as an American
citizen, we do not consent to anything.
But if you're going to threaten to break
our window and arrest us, then I have no
option but to turn off my car and get
out. So, what's it going to be?
>> Yes, you're going to be arrested.
>> No, I'll let you look back there,
though.
Hi, S. This agent Walsh from United
States that you're being recorded as
well.
>> Okay.
>> All right. Listen. So, the reason why
we're stopping you is because you did
U-turns and there's a there's a known
alien out in the area.
>> Okay.
>> So, your your vehicle is driving near
>> Yeah, we're exploring.
>> That's why
>> we're going we're traveling. We're on
the way to a dentist appointment right
now, but we're going this way and then
we're going to stop at the casino up the
road. We saw a sign for a campground.
So, we're looking for potential
campgrounds. If you put your look back
there, we are campers. We have stuff
back there.
>> Okay.
>> Where we can pop a tent, all that stuff.
So, that's the explanation for that.
>> Okay.
>> And that's the end of conversations.
>> That's fine. So, I just need to see some
ID.
>> I'm not going to show you ID. I'll show
it to you, but I'm not giving it to you.
>> I need to see your ID.
>> I'll show it to you, sir.
>> Well, playing the games isn't going to
>> I'm not playing games. I'm exercising my
rights.
>> Right. And I'd love for you on your way
to camp.
>> That's it.
Sir, we're going to stay here until I
can extract you from the vehicle and ID
you if you do not show me your ID.
>> I just showed you my ID.
>> If you cooperate with
>> I'm not going to cooperate because I'm
not doing anything wrong.
>> So, get your supervisor here now. Please
call your supervisor.
>> There isn't one. I am the supervisor.
>> Here's it again.
>> I need a
>> You're not going to have it. I do not
consent to any seizures, anything like
that.
>> Not a seizure. That's a I'm not So, I'm
exercising. Okay. At this point, I'm
going to remain silent and exercise all
my rights.
>> I'm going to get a K9 out here. The
stop's going to come.
>> You do what you got to do. You do what
you got to do.
>> I need you to turn your people down.
>> No, I don't have No.
>> Just so you know what's going on. I'm
waiting for a can to come out.
>> You can say what you Listen. Hey, praise
the Lord. Do all that. Um, we're going
to remain silent. We haven't done
anything wrong and um you're risky
impeding on our way to get to the
dentist. You're going to make me late.
I've had surgery. um over two years now
of surgery.
>> We're going to remain
>> near the border. A routine drive turns
into a tense standoff when agents stop a
couple on vague suspicions demanding ID
while threatening arrest and property
damage. The driver calmly asserts his
rights refusing to comply without cause
explaining their travel plans camping
gear and ordinary destinations minutes
stretch as authority clashes with
consent supervisors are requested and
silenced becomes a form of resistance.
What begins as a simple traffic stop
evolves into a gripping test of power
and principle. Stark reminder of how
quickly everyday freedom can be
challenged on the roadside.
>> And then that's it.
>> But I can't understand.
>> We exercising our right to remain
silent.
>> Mr. Point, it probably wasn't the best
decision to be out in the middle of
nowhere.
>> No, that's we have the right to travel
anywhere we want to travel.
>> I do. You're absolutely right. You do.
And I actually have the right and
authority to stop you.
>> And you did. And I told you where we're
going. We're not suspicious. So, you're
continuing to to uh you know, your
suspicions are not a crime,
>> right? But it's enough to
>> Okay. Well, there's not a crime
committed here at all.
>> Well, actually, we just got we just got
an alien load.
>> Well, we're not aliens.
>> Smokers, right? But there
>> and we're not smugglers.
>> I'm not going to explain the details for
>> Okay, you don't have to. I'm just
letting you know. I do not We do not
match your description. So, therefore,
you are impeding in our travel.
>> You need to understand that arguing is
not helping.
>> I'm not arguing you with you. I'm going
to exercise every right that I have as
an American citizen.
>> The problem is is that some of what
you're saying is misinformed.
>> No, it's not. You can change whatever
language you like, but this is what it
is.
>> But that's but that's fine because we're
just going to wait for a canine come in.
We can
>> go ahead. What's the K9 going to do?
There's nobody in my car. You saw the
windows. Look it. There's nobody back
there. It's just us two. There's nothing
illegal in the vehicle.
>> She's not going to ID either. and I'm
her husband and I'm speaking. She is not
going to ID either.
This is crazy. You guys are crazy. You
guys are Nazis.
Straight up Nazis.
You racial profiled us and pulled us
over for no reason. And we did no
illegal infractions, no traffic
infractions, and you pulled us over.
We've already told you we're not
illegal.
Near the border, routine drive spirals
into a tense confrontation as a couple
is stopped under vague suspicion.
Commathy assert their rights refusing to
provide eyed explaining their travel
plans and insisting they've committed no
crime agents pressing authority and
suspicion while the couple highlights
their freedom to travel and the absence
of illegal activity minutes stretched
tension mounting threats of K9 searches
and detention. Looming accusations of
profiling fly voices rise yet the couple
remains. Firm exercising every right as
American citizens, what unfolds is more
than a traffic stop hits a gripping
standoff that exposes the fragile
boundary between authority and
individual liberty.
>> Now, are we are you are you are we under
arrest?
>> This is called an investigation.
>> Are we under arrest or are we free to
go?
>> No, it's called an
>> Wait, are we under are we detained?
That's Yes, you are detained.
>> You're legally detaining us under the
threat of arrest?
>> No, it's called an investigation.
>> Are under the threat of arrest? Are you
going to detain us?
>> I'm not going to argue.
>> Okay, then never mind.
>> The repeat of of some YouTube videos.
>> We're not watching YouTube. We're We're
exercising our rights. We're not doing
YouTube.
>> This is a detention.
>> So, are you illegally detaining us?
>> Yes, you are. Illegally.
>> You are illegal detaining American
citizens that have already declared
their their st their uh citizenship.
>> Investigative detention.
>> Okay. What? Why is a dog What does a dog
have to do with our citizen stat status?
>> Sir, how's it going? I'm US patrol agent
Michael Suarez. I'm the K9 handler for
the Border Patrol station here in
Boulevard.
>> So, your dogs going to tell us if we're
legal citizens or not?
>> No, dogs can't talk.
>> Okay. So, then what's the deal here?
Because we don't have anything illegal.
>> Consent to uh
>> I do not consent to any searches or
seizures. as a uh
>> and I'm letting you know as an American
citizen, we do not consent to anything.
Okay? You're going to tip off your dog
just to get probable cause. It's a it's
a gimmick. We all know about that.
>> Formality. We don't need your consent to
>> Well, you don't have consent.
>> So, my dog, he's able to detect
marijuana and that's not
>> Okay. Well, check this out. Marijuana is
not So, check this out. Hold on.
Federalally illegal.
>> We're state citizens. Yeah. And we're in
California. Okay. But we're in
California and we recognize California
rules.
>> We're a federal agency.
>> We We don't comply with federal
agencies. Sorry.
>> Um,
>> so you guys do.
>> Near the border, the stop hardens into
open confrontation as the couple insists
they're not performing for cameras, but
exercising their rights under what they
believe is an unlawful detention agents
escalate, introducing a K9 unit framing
the encounter as an investigation rather
than an arrest. The couple pushes back,
questioning how a dog relates to
citizenship, refusing consent to any
search and calling the process a
manufactured path to probable cause.
Federal authority collides with state
law. Arguments voices overlapping as
silence is repeatedly invoked and
ignored. What unfolds is a raw clash of
beliefs about power consent and
constitutional limits exposing how
quickly a roadside stop can transform
into a bitter dispute over freedom
itself.
>> What you got to do? You're viol you
guys. We're going to be remain silent.
We do not consent to anything. So, you
know, marijuana is not illegal in the
state of California.
>> You're right. It is.
>> So, whatever your dog says, it's false.
I'm letting you know now. And that's
that. So, we're done talking. You guys
continue with whatever you're going to
do to violate our right. Thank you.
>> Right to to to not consent to.
>> We don't consent. Okay. So, that's it. I
told you if we don't consent.
>> And it's noted on the body cam.
>> And it's noted on our camera, too. Okay.
So, no, you don't have to tell me
anything. You guys do you guys are going
to do what you're going to do at the end
of the day, no matter what.
>> We already told I don't care.
>> I'll be right.
>> All right, sir. I listed the owners
already. My dog list the vehicle and I
give him all take you guys out the
vehicle and search the vehicle.
>> We don't consent.
>> You know,
>> we don't consent. We don't consent.
We don't consent to any of that.
>> Oh, yeah.
So federal law does not give you any any
validation over usreacy clause in the
constitution.
>> Not in this traffic, not in this stuff
you got going on here. You're doing a
you guys are border patrol.
>> Still considered
>> it. Too bad. Too damn bad.
You're not going to tell us how to live
when we have a legal right as California
citizens to possess any kind of bad
stuff. Whether it's CBD,
uh, whatever it is, it doesn't matter.
We have the legal rights
and we will not allow you to come in as
Nazi federal government and trample
those rights because you think it's
okay. Your ideas do not trample every
single person's ideas. Okay? We have the
right to free think. I'm telling you
right now, if we don't get out, are you
going to arrest us and break? The
confrontation reaches its breaking point
as rights are shouted over threats of
arrest. The couple demands a simple
answer pressing whether force will be
used to remove them while officers frame
compliance as the only path forward
consent is repeatedly denied. Yet the
detention titan justified by a claimed
K9 alertf faced with the ultimatum of
arrest or exit. The driver shuts off the
engine and steps out not in agreement
but under protest after the tension
peaks and control is asserted. The
encounter abruptly ends their release
free to go leaving behind a chilling
reminder of how easily everyday travel
can turn into coercion and how standing
on principle often comes at a cost.
>> Our windows.
>> Yes or no? It's a simple question
because if you're going to threaten me
to cuz if you're going to threaten me
and my wife with arrest, then we're
going to turn off this car, get out, and
we're going to call the sheriffs.
>> Yeah, you can get out if you want to do
that.
>> No, I don't want to. I want you to leave
us alone so I can get to the dentist.
>> Right.
>> So, in order for you to do that,
>> we're not Okay. So, we're not going to
do anything unless you threaten to
arrest us.
>> Doesn't mean that you consent to
anything.
>> I am not consenting or cooperating with
you at all.
>> Consenting and I'm agreeing.
>> Okay. Well, okay. Well, that's that.
>> It doesn't mean you have to consent.
>> Okay. We're not. End the conversation
then.
>> But this is an investigative detention.
The dog alerted.
>> I don't care what your dog alerted to.
We don't have anything illegal in the
vehicle.
>> That might that very well may be the
case.
>> It is the case. It's a fact.
>> But that doesn't change the fact that
you get out of the vehicle.
>> We're not going to unless you threaten
to arrest us or break our window.
>> You're going you're going to be
arrested.
>> So you're threatening to arrest us.
>> No, you're going to be arrested if you
won't get out of the vehicle.
>> That's what I'm saying. If unless we get
out, you're going to arrest us.
>> Correct.
>> Okay. So, let's get out.
>> Get out. Then this will continue to be
an investigated detention. If we find
nothing, you'll go on your vehicle and
be on your way.
>> There's nothing for you. No. So, I'm
just making sure that we don't I'm I'm
letting you know as our rights as
citizens, we do not want to get out. We
want to go on the way. But if you're
going to threaten to break our window
and arrest us, then I have no option but
to turn off my car and get out. So,
what's going to be?
>> Yes, you're going to be arrested if
>> Okay. So, we're getting out and we're
going to open the doors and you guys do
what you got to do.
>> You said you can go yet.
>> Listen, I'm not about lawyers,
but
>> No, I don't want to hear this. I don't
want to hear.
>> Had you just cooperated, I would have.
It's not going to be the new normal.
This will not be the new normal. How's
that?
>> And I will make sure we go to the board
meetings. Okay. This will be your last
stance here. You got that, guys? Can I
go now?
>> Yes, sir.
>> All right.
>> Have a nice day. You mess with the wrong
