And this is being recorded. >> I understand this is being recorded. >> Cuz I'm I don't I haven't committed no crime, you know what I'm saying? I do have my firearm in the back, but that's it. Okay, is it yours or is it stolen? >> Registered to me. Go on my way. I mean, all of a sudden you want to run down a a canine. I mean, if that's your suspicious, that's not a crime, you know what I'm saying? >> You're not being seized. >> There's no I haven't committed no crime. >> here and seize temporarily. >> Uh not really. Only if there's probable cause. This isn't immigration checkpoint. You got to learn your rights. And you're about to learn your rights with the supervisor that's going to come. Sir. The driver confidently asserted his rights from the start, refusing to engage in unnecessary conversation or comply with demands beyond the brief immigration inquiry permitted at fixed checkpoints. The Fifth Amendment protects against self-incrimination, allowing individuals to refuse to answer questions from law enforcement, including at border patrol checkpoints. By repeatedly stating, "I rather not answer no questions and I prefer not to," he shut down the agents' attempts to probe for details about his travel or activities. When the agent escalated by threatening a canine sniff and secondary inspection without any articulated suspicion, the driver called out the lack of probable cause, noting that suspicion alone isn't a crime, and demanding a supervisor. This smart refusal to budge exposed the agents' overreach as the dog ultimately ran without alerting, leaving the officers with no justification for further detention, and highlighting how knowledge of constitutional protections dismantles attempts at unwarranted escalation. Afternoon, sir. You're a US citizen? How are you doing today? Hello, US citizen, sir. Okay. And uh what brings you down here? Do you go past? Uh uh What's that? I I live down here. Oh, you do? Okay. >> Yeah. And where are you headed to today? Uh I don't answer questions, sir. You don't answer any questions? What's that? Uh my Fifth Amendment, pretty sure. I just go by the law, sir. Okay, that's fine. That's fine. Um Is this your vehicle, sir? Uh I rather not answer no no questions. [clears throat] >> Okay. Would you mind if I take a look in your trunk at all? Uh I prefer not to. Okay. Uh I do have my firearm in the back, but that's it. Okay, is it yours or is it stolen? Registered to me. No, it's registered to me. I wouldn't I wouldn't tell you if if, you know what I'm saying? Like that I have it there. >> That's that's fine. You know, that's that's fine. I mean, you you don't have to answer questions. >> Yes, sir. Um going to tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to run a dog just run a vehicle right over here. Uh yeah uh you can run it down here. I'd rather not go to secondary either, you know what I'm saying? Cuz I'm not doing anything bad. I mean >> No, you're not. And I didn't say you were doing anything bad. Right. >> to dispel any suspicion I might have, I'm going to just have a dog run around your vehicle. >> You you you >> for me to do it over there. Okay? your vehicle. All I'm going to do is have it run around the outside of the vehicle, okay? Well, I prefer not that either, but I mean, if you want to run it down, I'm good here. I don't have the dog right here is what I'm saying. So, in order for me to expedite this, I'm going to do it over there, okay? Do you have any idea or anything on you? Uh I'm not going to give you my driver's license, either. Well, by law, I can ask for your driver's license and you are required to No, I'm not required. any form of identification. >> Can you bring your supervisor? Cuz I've dealt with a lot of this before, that's why I record. That's that's not a problem. That's not a problem. Yeah, well, please bring bring please >> will get a supervisor out here. Can you bring him over here? I'm going to have you pull right over there, okay? Cuz you're holding up traffic right here. Yeah, you are because I'm I'm I'm just trying to go up on my way. I mean, all of a sudden you want to run that a a canine. I mean, if that's your suspicious, that's not a crime, you know what I'm saying? If you're aware of that, you know what I'm saying? I didn't say you were committing a crime. No, I'm saying cuz you said something about suspicious, right? Sure. I said you were suspicious and stuff. Okay, that's not an old crime, you know what I'm saying? I didn't say you were committing a crime. Okay, but I'm telling you that's not an old crime. So, if you're trying to find something and I Just can you bring your supervisor, please? I'm going to have you pull over there, okay? >> I prefer not to pull over to secondary cuz I've dealt with this before, you know what I'm saying? And just bring your supervisor, please. I I prefer for you to bring your supervisor, man. I'm just trying to go up on my way. >> supervisor, but you know what? I'm not going to do it right here because it's blocking traffic. Right. You're blocking traffic. >> No, you are blocking traffic because you're ignoring what I'm telling you right now. Uh I don't have to stop for no reason. I mean, you know what I'm saying? You have to stop because of the stop sign here. Okay, well, I stopped, you know? I'm You're making it hard for yourself. What's your name, sir? I want the camera to know what's your name. My name is Hauser. >> Can you say it out loud? No, you can look at my driver's >> H A U S E R. Sure. Okay, that's your name. Mhm. All right. I'm good here.

Okay, who's driving the vehicle? Huh? Who's driving the vehicle? Who's driving the vehicle? I am. Okay, so who's impeding traffic? You you're stopping me. You're the one that's talking to me. If I go up on my way, I'm not going to impede no traffic, am I right? I am not but you're being seized. You're not you're not really Seized for what reason? There's no I haven't committed no crime. here is seized temporarily. Uh not really, only if there's probable cause. This isn't an immigration checkpoint. You got to learn your rights. And you're about to learn your rights with the supervisor that's going to come. Sir, I'm telling you everybody that comes through here is temporarily seized. Uh no. >> Do you understand that? No, they're not. They only if there's probable cause and if they committed a crime. So, you're saying that you're >> then you can seize their car and you can do all of that. So, let me ask you something. Are you free to move? Am I free to move? Have I committed any crime? You don't have to commit a crime. Everybody that comes through has to stop. Uh yeah, stop and answer what whatever they're going to answer. I don't got to answer because I know my rights, you know what I'm saying? Did I tell you you had to answer any further questions? >> No. Okay, am I commit Have I committed no crime? I didn't say you committed a crime. Okay, but have I? That way I can go on my way. Did I say you committed a crime? Okay, have I? Did I say you committed a crime? No, you haven't. I need absolutely no suspicion mere or no suspicion to send you to secondary. Uh no, that is wrong. That is wrong. You're about to learn that. >> what, if you pull over here, I can get you a pamphlet. No, no, I already have some myself. I'll I'll show you exactly what what Okay, what we have out here. I do not want to know anything. How I said, I am freely driving on public, right? This is public, okay. There we go. Haven't committed no crime. Haven't committed no crime. You you have no probable cause to search my car, either. You want to run down a K9. I said, go ahead, run it down, even though you don't have to. And if you scratch my car, that's going to be against your K9 cuz I have you can see right there. I've gotten my car scratched before, right? Okay, if you don't see it, that's on you. How I said, you want to run it down? Go ahead and run it down. Uh I can go on my way, you know what I'm saying? No, you cannot. You know that >> No. Wow, why you run down your K9? And so I release you, sir. Oh oh, well, I haven't committed no crime. Do you want to run down your K9? That's that's >> You committed a crime.

I understand that. I have the right to run a K9 around any vehicle that comes through. Okay, go ahead and bring it. I'm I'm good here. >> to expedite this, I mean, we can sit here all day. I'm being paid for this. Uh I'm I'm good. I'm getting paid, too. I'm a YouTuber. I'm a YouTuber. I do this for a living cuz I I got to I got to educate people that don't know their law, you know what I'm saying? That they're just just trying to find a crime on somebody, you know what I'm saying? >> one of our pamphlets so you No, I already I already have a pamphlet and I've already gotten the server or something. All right. Hold on. Confrontation intensified when the supervisor arrived. Yet, the driver maintained control by refusing to hand over his driver's license for fishing expeditions into his background. At interior border patrol checkpoints, US citizens are not required to produce identification or answer questions beyond brief verification of immigration status per United States versus Martinez-Fuerte, 428 US 543 1976. He held his ground showing the ID only visually without surrendering it while repeatedly emphasizing, "I haven't committed no crime and you have no probable cause." The agents' push for secondary inspection crumbled under his insistence that the failed K9 sniff provided no basis for detention and their blocking of traffic became the real issue. By staying calm, recording everything, and invoking his rights without aggression, he turned the encounter into a clear demonstration of official frustration when faced with someone who knows the law, ultimately forcing them to back down without achieving their apparent goal of a prolonged search or citation. So yeah, I'm getting stopped for I don't know what reason. I'm just trying to go up on my way. He wants to run down the K9. I said he can run down the K9, but I prefer for him to run down the K9 here. I'm not going to go to secondary cuz I haven't committed no crime. See how it goes. Yeah, and he's holding traffic. There's a lot of cars behind me. You got sir? No, I don't I don't got nothing, sir. He said uh He asked me where am I going? Mhm. And you're the supervisor, sir? No, you have ID? I have my driver's license. >> can I see your driver's license? >> Uh no, I want to talk to the supervisor, sir. Well, I want to identify who you are. >> Yeah, I'm I'm The supervisor is already coming. >> driver's license? All right, supervisor. I don't got to give you my driver's license. I don't got to give you my driver's license. Well, I want to identify you. I don't got to give >> Driving Drive Operating a motor vehicle is not a right, it's a privilege. >> Rodriguez. Rodriguez. You're the supervisor, Rodriguez? Yeah, what's up? What's up, sir? No, no, you know me, right? I don't know. You don't know me? Oh, I I I feel like I've seen you before, but uh him, he he stopped me right here, right? Okay. >> Can I put my car in park? Actually, it'd be better if you took your car to secondary cuz you're blocking traffic. He's blocking traffic, sir. >> Well, I'm I'm telling you Cuz I haven't committed no crime, you know what I'm saying? Okay, I If you could just >> I'd rather not go to secondary, sir, cuz you're going to find every reason to find anything on me or try to get me in a crime, you know what I'm saying? So, I I'm good. If you committed a crime you committed a crime last night. I mean, what No, no, I'm talking about Yeah, you you guys are trying to get me with a crime, you know what I'm saying? I don't I don't have anything. I'm just This is a public This is a public street. I'm trying to go on my way. I do have my driver's license.

Okay, I understand that. >> And this is being recorded. I understand it's being recorded. Cuz I'm I don't I haven't committed no crime, you know what I'm saying? You guys want to run down on a a dog? He's already running it down. Look, he's already running That's all he wanted. Now he's He's it. No, it's not. You understand, sir? Yeah, yeah. Rodriguez, you're the supervisor? Yeah. Okay, he wanted to run down a dog. I told him he could run it down here. Look, the dog is You know what I'm saying? Doing his job, I guess you could say. Rodriguez, I don't try to give you guys a hard time. I'm just letting you know I do I go by the rights. >> try to give us a hard time. No, see you know me since you said that. I don't know. I don't I don't I don't I don't give nobody a hard time. I just do the rights the way it's supposed to go. I'm going to I'm going to speak to people and do my job properly. He's going to Uh I'm not going to give you my ID, either. I just want to verify you have any drugs with you. No, I do not. I have my firearm, that's it. You want to see it? >> So, do you have an ID where we can ID who you are cuz I don't know who you are. Right. I don't have to show you who I am. >> I know, but do you have one? Uh I don't >> do.

I know what that is. >> so you don't go away and you don't blow a tire, okay? I'll be right back. Don't park. I came out here and I did my job. I got nothing. I got nothing. I'm not going to be here and I'm not going to be here and say, "Hey, man, I'm going to search your car because I want Yeah, yeah, no, thank you. Thank you. Yeah, I appreciate for that. You know, so But, that's why that's why I'm >> to do that. That's why I'm saying. I'm going to file a report on him, and maybe I don't know about Rodriguez. I mean, he said I don't know who's coming. Rodriguez, you said who's coming? You're You're allowed to do whatever >> course. Of course.

He said we got we got nothing. out of the way so we can move traffic. I understand, sir. I understand. And I'm trying to go up my way, you know what I'm saying? As well, you know? Okay. So, a quick question. The vehicle is registered to you or I I mean, I don't answer questions, but if you're going to give me a hard time, are you curious? >> No, no, I just want to know if the vehicle is registered to you. And then And then And if I answer that question, am I free to go? Well, this is I mean, we're not here as as as to to, you know, to negotiate, you know? No, no, no. I I I know I I know we're not. You can't sit here and tell us oh, we can't do that. That's not how it works. That's not how it works. That's not how it works. That's not how it works. That's not how it works. No, but I don't have to answer questions. I'm going to eventually come I'm going to eventually pass here through every day for my YouTube videos. Yeah, of course. Yep. Of course, of course. They have They have all the reason to. And you know and you know you know me. Okay. Okay. You know, you you got to get it right. Right. Well, throughout the videos I've been learning, man, and what I can tell you right now, I am not wrong. I What What way am I wrong? You tell me. Okay. Right. Yeah, for for my for my videos. My subscribers know I smoke, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, but you can do it but but you can do it but you can do it and and let me answer that Let me answer that. You can do it. Oh, no, I don't. Oh, no, I don't. I don't. But it's it's exactly what this because look, let me let me let me talk now. You guys have no problem cuz you already run down the K9. The K9 did not say anything. Okay, the K9 did not say anything, right? Okay, and then okay. Okay, I know. No, no, I'm not saying you're wrong, you know what I'm saying? But I just try to do everything the way I supposed to know. Right. I understand. I understand. I understand. That's why I'm saying. Yep. Okay, you know. Right. No, no, no. do that. Of course, I understand where you're coming from. But like how we were how you were talking right now like we're not going to negotiate. We're not going to sit here and let you tell us like hey if I do this, are you guys going to do that? That's not how it works. >> No no no, I understand. I understand. But he he asked me like if I was free to go, you know what I'm saying? All right, Edgar. You're good. You have a nice day, all right? Yeah, you too. By the way, my name's not Edgar. Thank you. 17 minutes. Damn. Yeah. In the end, the driver's unyielding stance and sharp application of legal principles exposed the checkpoint as a venue where overzealous enforcement can falter against informed resistance. Any extension of a checkpoint stop beyond brief immigration questioning requires reasonable suspicion and non-immigration detentions or searches demand probable cause or consent. [music] The agents' repeated attempts to intimidate, threatening reports implying hidden contraband or pressuring compliance failed spectacularly as the driver documented their inconsistencies like running the dog despite no alert and admitting prior familiarity with him from videos. This encounter became legendary proof that when a smart boy armed with constitutional knowledge stands firm, corrupt or sloppy policing unravels, educating viewers on real rights while leaving the officers to retreat empty-handed and exposed on camera.
