It's quite a suprise that the people who complain about the police state the most are the criminals.
I just don't understand why there are so many law abiding citizens who have never been arrested.
It's just not fair.

Then he comes on ATS claiming that he was arrested, which he wasn't and that makes wonder what other tidbits he embellished.

Again, nimrod, i was arrested, and read my rights. And they did do something illegal. Setting up K9 checkpoints in the US is ILLEGAL for the police, the ONLY reason the border patrol can do it is because of a loophole to smell out ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS (one granted under Bush, of course). They are NOT supposed to be arresting US citizens, and are not given that authority ANYWHERE else but Yuma county. Are you REALLY that dense dude? Do you even READ or do you just post your drone garbage. I guess they want more stupid people in the military.

Nope not dense just think you are a liar.

You go to jail? Did you get fingerprinted? Did you post bail? Did you go before a judge?

It's to the point now where you have to ask yourself if taking a holiday is worth exposing yourself to the ignorant and abusive actions of authorities.

It's not the criminals that worry me so much anymore.

I'm going to star and falg you because this is an important bit of personal experience you have shared with ATS members and casual lurkers. I'm also going to star and falg you because of your pain, suffering, and aggrevation. Hopefully others will do the same so you can experience some joy in moving up the ATS ladder to the next level towards transcending the rest of the humanoids on the planet.

I have not posted on this thread due to you acting like you were railroaded for having drugs in your car. Your lucky you didn't get the charged for taking those drugs across state lines. Next time be smart and just say no or atleast leave it at home when traveling from state to state. And if you say well I want to smoke on the way Your as dumb as your pathetic whining excuse is.

You remind of a person who sits in jail and watches cops on tv and says they would of never caught me like that. Guess what they did or you wouldn't be in jail making some statement like you are.

Just quit smoking and wise up.

It is misleading to say you were arrested when you were only briefly detained for 5 minutes.

Again, I WAS arrested, read my rights, and given a ticket. I still have to appear in court way the hell in Yuma to pay it, and i WILL fight it.

If it's just a ticket, pay it and forget it. However, if you are branded with a criminal record, then it's worth fighting if you are rich.

I'm on your side, but if it amounts to a ticket with no criminal record, it's not worth the 20K to 200K it's going to cost you to fight it, appeal to higher courts, etc. Only the wealthy can afford to defend their constitutional rights. The average guy is a peeon in the courts. The average guy cannot afford to pay a lawyer to defend his rights properly. The average guy will bankrupt himself, give up before winning his case, and get the shaft both ways.

Don't let that happen to yourself. Pay the ticket, pack up, and move to California.

I don't sympathize for any criminal.

Like I said, you're probably a "criminal" too. If you tell me you've never broken the law, you will be the liar here.

I'm not going to read anymore to prove to myself you aren't lying so if you have a piece that says they arrest you then show it.

Rather than place the blame on his daughter, he paid $1,600 in fines, and was embarrassed recently when the arrest showed up in a background check while he was trying to rent a house. He was allowed to move in, but lamented of his new rap sheet: "It just sucks. Period."

Here ya go. Not that it will matter to you anyway, you've already made your bias clear, it just sucks that you are one of the people who are tasked with defending our constitution...you have no business there.

It just depends on the judge whether I get a record or not. I have NO previous arrests or anything other than traffic tickets, and i am weighing my best options, thanks for the advice. And yes, i will be bound for california, on that side the border patrol just takes whatever they may find.

Then I hope you get a good judge.

But aren't tickets usually just paid at a local magistrates office with no court appearance?

Good luck with your move. Keep me posted please.

Last I heard, pot was illegal, except in states where it is authorized for medical use. Transporting it thus isn't legal either. You got busted, you lost your drugs, and got a ticket. You're pissed, I got that that, but it's your own darned fault! You are not in jail, suck it up.

Seriously this is nothing more than sour grapes the OP's part. Of which I have no doubt if he got past the check point they would have been laughing as to how they pulled one over on 'the man.'

Yes I am less than sympathetic to the OP's predicament.

The Boarder Patrol has a crappy job, imo. They are expected to :

1- Try and keep some sort of semblance of order when it comes to letting folks into the country.
2- Drug interdiction, which where I am living, is bloody dangerous considering the drug cartel in Juarez, Mexico are out of control.
3- Act as eyes for Home Land Security and are technically one arm protection to keep the terrorists out.
4- Have to deal on a regular basis with folks that are 'irritated' at delays.
5- Have to contend with folks like the OP who think laws are for other people.

Sorry, but really, you could not pay me to work Boarder Patrol given what they have to deal with.

Lastly, when you knowingly break the law, its on you if you get busted. Man-up, suck it up, get over it.
