Border Patrol Harrassment in Amado : AZ IMC

Border Patrol Incident
7:30 am
November 27, 2007
I was forcibly pulled over by the Border Patrol on my way to work. I
have traveled the Arivaca Road every day for the past 10 years,
mostly without incident. I have been harassed a few times. Bright
lights in the rear view mirror, tailgating etc. But up until now I
haven’t ever had any real trouble. I’ve heard stories of people being
hurt, held at gunpoint, forced from their vehicles. This list goes
on. My sister was hit in the face, dragged from her vehicle, thrown
to the ground and handcuffed with her face in the dirt. I can’t say
that in light of these things I feel very safe when it comes to the
Border Patrol
I have always been told, in every self-defense class, even those
taught by law enforcement, that you should go to a populated area
before you pull over for anyone you don’t know including law
enforcement. Slow down, pull over to the right side of the road as
far as possible without leaving the pavement and continue to drive
slowly until you reach a populated area.
Border patrol turned on their flashing lights behind me at about the
20 mile marker after following me for about 4 miles. I did what I was
taught. I slowed down to 20 miles per hour, pulled to the side of the
road and continued to drive. They followed me for a little ways and
then the first Border Patrol pulled in front of me and cut me off. I
hit the brakes and the second Border Patrol sandwiched me in. Both
jumped out of their vehicles and pulled their guns. They screamed at
me several times to get out of my vehicle. I told them no and they
continued screaming at me. “Roll down the window. Get out the
vehicle. Why do you hate authority?” etc. I tried to explain that I
was moving slowly toward a populated area. I told them that stories
of abuse abound. Just a mile down the road was the Cow Palace. There
would be people there.
He told me “No, you’ve already proven that you’re going to run.
They finally allowed me to pull to the side of the road so that we
weren’t obstructing traffic. Five more BP showed up. I didn’t leave
my vehicle. They called the Pima County Sheriff.
The sheriff came. He asked for my ID and I gave it to him. I told him
they had pulled their guns on me. He told me that I could be charged
with a felony for not stopping immediately. I explained to him that
my sister had been abuse by them and that I just wanted to get to a
safe place before I pulled over. He then told me that I had only to
pull over and show them my ID. Other than that I’m not required to do
anything further.
We waited until they ran a check on me. He handed me back my ID and
told me I could go. They never told my why I was pulled over.
For the record I am a 49 year old grandmother. I have blond hair and
blue eyes. I drive a small truck and I work at a book store.

LOL! You dumby! You must have been a young hore to be a 49 year old grandma! Anyways-they should have run your dumbass off the road into the ditch for not pulling over. I would have charged your dumb ol ass with a felony myself. Your sister is probably is dumber than you, thats why she got the face-plant by the USBP.

Next time, stop your truck when the lights come on old lady. The USBP agents are good men and women...unless youre on the wrong side of the law that is.....now you dont have anything to hide now do you? Like smuggling IAs? Or drugs? You get caught doing that, well, your face is likely to meet the dirt, right before you get taken to jail.

Bet if your dumbarse was broken down on the side of the road youd appreciate a USBP giving you some help now wouldnt you there young hore?

Wow, she could have had a kid at 24, and her kid a child at 24. I guess by your standards anyone who has children under the age of 30 is a dumb whore? Your a dumbass. Trust the Border Patrol because thier good folks, what kind of fascist fantasy world do you live in?

Pulling over in a populated/visible area is a good idea... however if there are no such areas within a couple hundred feet you need to stop anyway. If you still have a bad feeling call a friend and ask them to standby and listen as the officer walks up to the car.

But but but but I thought the BP only pulled over persons of apparent Mexican appearance! Well that's what the bleeding hearts rant about. I had no idea they'd stoop to pulling over a caucasian!! Oh the inhumanity.
