Let's discuss "Border Patrols and PPD". I was irked by the "woman tazed by border control" - why do some (a few) of you think a woman standing up for her rights is PPD? Read the article linked here, the police are trying to say she assaulted them first [Article Linked in Comment]

For anyone assuming she was later busted for possession:

After being told by officers that K-9 units would be there in a few short minutes, they did not arrive until an hour later, when they would find nothing inside or outside of her vehicle

Ms. Cooke, who exhibited visible scrapes and bruises on her upper back, foot, hands and elbows on Friday, said she was handcuffed and placed in the back of a patrol car where she waited for an hour for a K-9 unit to arrive.

During an exterior inspection of her vehicle by the unit, nothing was found, Ms. Cooke said. She said agents then opened the car doors, got her keys and opened the trunk.

Again, nothing was found, Ms. Cooke said, adding that agents did a second search of the vehicle with the K-9 unit, but found nothing.

So, I don't mean to be an ass here, but this video annoyed me quite a bit. I don't agree that the officers actions were correct, but lord this woman was just the picture of antagonism instead of problem-solving. Also, the whole taser-torture thing was purely dramatics. The gauge on the taser needles is 18, not some huge dagger, and the shock only runs for 5 seconds, not the good 15-20 seconds she screams like she's being flayed alive. It's not bad, I've been tased several times and I've never once heard anyone react in this manner. Legally she was in the right, and this doesn't belong in this sub, but I still came off feeling like this all could have been handled much better on both ends.

Wargame4life · 2015-05-14T17:59:27+00:00

I commented on one that seem deleted, I side with the woman on this one this is not PPD and these guards are at best unprofessional and at worst "utter cunts"

thinking someone "appearing nervous" is legit grounds to impound and detain your car is fucking ridiculous.

this border patrols are bang out of order, I support her conduct and cause, she has every right to defend her rights and kudos to her for not kowtowing to a bully.

Polaris2246 · 2015-05-14T16:25:50+00:00

though not PPD, if they told her to wait her ass on the side of the road because they decided they wanted to inspect her car, she should have waited her ass on the side of the road. Whether or not you like the authority they have, they have it and will be backed up by the people that gave them that authority.

She was being a bitch and non compliant to very calm officers telling her they are waiting for the K9 unit to arrive. She got irate and her actions led to her being tazed.

This should have been posted as a comment to the original post, it doesn't need it's own post.

DarkCircle · 2015-05-17T04:19:06+00:00

Some people on this sub like seeing a woman get hurt even she if she is not playing the PP. Start your own hating women sub if you want that. I laugh just as hard at men getting served justice for being jerks as women.

SwordfshII · 2015-05-14T15:50:49+00:00

It is not PPD and this sub itself has gone to hell. Standing up for your rights is what a good citizen does, holing LEO's responsible for abuse is a must. These LEO's assaulted a woman with a deadly weapon, that is no joke.

johndeaux588 · 2015-05-15T08:10:13+00:00

Everybody keeps quoting the Rodriguez decision, but there is one underlying fact that everyone keeps missing..... this was a Border Patrol checkpoint and your "rights" mean about zero at them. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has "border search authority" which allows them to search anything passing through a checkpoint without a warrant and with little to no probable cause.

thebabbster · 2015-05-15T11:59:33+00:00

The place to bludgeon your local cops about your "rights" is in a court room, not the side of the road.

dickholedoug · 2015-05-14T17:20:52+00:00

/r/titlegore I literally have no idea the point you're trying to convey. Write in legible sentences next time.

Has this been silently deleted by any reddit filter / automoderator "oh a reddit address without np" or some other sad rule, I am just linking to the comment I made, I shouldn't have to think to copy it again? Someone let me know if they see this. thanks.

Here's some more info on it, at the time I made a numbered list, but /u/Mustaka said this was indeed PPD, well, that's a lie:

He linked me to a comment he wrote
That said it was posted previously
That said there was an article that discussed it
I searched for the previous post
Read the comments
Found the artlcle link, then read it
Nothing in the article says PPD, in fact it even says the police are making up that she assaulted them

The police are in the wrong here, KNOW YOUR RIGHTS:

You're being detained Why? "ok you're not being detained" (law now states they can't use "waiting for dogs" as a reason to detain, without cause)
You can walk anywhere you want
No, you have to get in your car (being a controlling bully, deliberately steering her to a confrontation)
They walked up to her and then told her to get out of the way, they fabricated this entire incident, and she had nothing on her
This was abuse of powers by police, not PPD

aMotoVadered · 2015-05-14T16:44:09+00:00

They taser-tortured that woman because of her attitude.

dangerousopinions · 2015-05-19T07:47:46+00:00

I cannot believe the U.S supreme court has affirmed the constitutionality of interior border checkpoints. This is quite plainly an illegal search and seizure and has the obvious potential for abuse of the 4th amendment. I think morally, if not legally, this woman was right to refuse such a search.

Narwhalbaconguy · 2015-05-23T19:14:27+00:00

I'm not saying either of them were right, but she kind of provoked it when she kept being disrespectful, then pushing the officer when he walked up to her.

ArousedPony · 2015-05-15T08:16:17+00:00

IMO, I don't think the woman was being annoying at all. This should be the default response when on officer is attempting to violate your constitutional rights. The officer was attempting a power play by telling her to move. She was leaning on her property and was tazed. I hope to God she doesn't settle out of court. This lady should get several million in the lawsuit, with the female officer being disciplined and the male officer charged and fired.

TerrinUK · 2015-05-14T19:39:24+00:00

Definitely not PPD, everyone was wrong in this scenario, she is a stubborn sovereign citizen dumbass that is just begging to be suspected of hiding something, and they are entitled, abusive wannabe cops that couldn't enforce the law right if they fucking tried

mygenericalias · 2015-05-14T23:28:39+00:00

There is a lot of misinformation going on here, and people are very quick to dismiss this women's actions as justification for her being tased. First off, nervousness is not probable cause for being detained in this situation. Second, where she was standing was lawfully out of the way of the checkpoint. Third, these checkpoints have been a hot-spot for normal citizens to assert their rights to drive peacefully and without being unlawfully searched or detained. Yes, the women was being antagonistic. I'd be, as well, with my rights being so blatantly violated. Here is a great example of what this women's likely intention was - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4zYizaMmDo And here is a great (staged) video from reason tv on the subject - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB_l6sLxNj4

Most people do comply in these situations, but it is a fundamental principle of this country that you may not be unlawfully searched, questioned, or detained, while simply traveling on a road somewhat near a border. Unfortunately, the "Constitution-free zone" complicates things. See https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights-governments-100-mile-border-zone-map

On a separate note, the Supreme Court recently ruled that it is against the law to hold a motorist for longer than 10 minutes while awaiting a K9 unit. The hour this woman was handcuffed was absolutely illegal. This is about holding our law enforcement, especially federal law enforcement such as border patrol, to a very high standard, such that the rights of all are maintained.

Know your rights and always hold law enforcement accountable.

HitachinoBia · 2015-05-14T17:08:13+00:00

Hahahah stupid cunt. Respect the authoritah!

YellowBrickChode · 2015-05-14T17:17:42+00:00

I'm pretty sure she had something in that car. Why else would a human act like that? OP's title suggesting she was standing up for her rights is a little fucking stupid.

bathrobehero · 2015-05-15T00:22:34+00:00

This is not PPD by any means because a male could have been just as much of a cunt as the woman in the video. With that said, the border patrol was in the green here; they didn't detain her, she was free to leave but a K9 unit was inbound to inspect her car.

What rights she was standing up to? None of her rights were violated;

At border crossings (also called "ports of entry"), federal authorities do not need a warrant or even suspicion of wrongdoing to justify conducting what courts have called a "routine search," such as searching luggage or a vehicle.

That's what you get if you undermine the authority of border patrol and tease them at every chance you get. She was asked multiple times to move but she thought the world was spinning around her and decided not to move.

Hazzman · 2015-05-15T03:40:45+00:00

This subreddit is rife with folks who just plain don't like women.

I am 100% entertained by the original intent of this subreddit. Women who overstep their socially obligated bounds because they think they get away with it based purely on their gender... but I often see videos and comments that have nothing to do with this and are just examples of abuse.

I find myself hovering over the unsubscribe button at least once a week.

ghastlyactions · 2015-05-14T20:35:37+00:00

I disagree with your interpretation of events. She disobeyed a lawful order and escalated the situation. That's not defending your rights... she had no right to refuse his order.

2015-05-14T19:54:36+00:00

Because IT's a woman, and women are always, implicitly or explicitly, trying to use their PP. The sooner you learn that, the better.
