 Border Patrol Agents Shatter Drivers Window After He Refuses to Cooperate at Checkpoint

 Border Patrol agents shattered a driver’s window at a checkpoint in Pine Valley, Calif., when he apparently refused to cooperate with law enforcement officials or consent to a warrantless search of his vehicle. The driver was then removed from his car and put in handcuffs.

The man in the video claims he was stopped at an “internal” Border Patrol checkpoint, meaning inside the United States and not on the U.S.-Mexico border, on May 31. However, the exact location of the checkpoint has not yet been confirmed.

He says he refused to roll the window down or talk to Border Patrol agents at the checkpoint, clearly bringing suspicion upon himself from law enforcement officials.

The man in the video, who was apparently taking photos to document the incident, then claims a German shepherd drug dog was dispatched to inspect his car. He says the dog detected no drugs in his car but detected 42 grams of marijuana in the car next to him.

After consulting with other law enforcement officials, including the Sheriff’s office, video shows the Border Patrol smashing the driver’s front window and remove him from the car.

  1. I was going to sarcastically say, "at least they're doing somethind", but reading through the article I am now wondering why the Border Patrol is doing drug searches inside the border. Wouldn't that be the DEA's territory?

    1. They want to find some, so they can report half and sell the rest, I imagine.
