    Exactly, you're in and out in 10 seconds. No need for some soapbox ######## like this.

    The driver did look like a punk and his attitude didn't help..

    On the flip side I have encountered some real d-bags at those USBP check points..

    The driver was behaving suspiciously, and that in turn gave the cop probable cause. He was picking the battle from the start and Is anti Leo - the driver didn't seem to have all his marbles together

    He is an idiot and i would imagine they called Swift to verify his status. In all my years going to the border i have never been held up at these checkpoints. Answer their question and you are on your way. The more nervous you act the better they might think you are trying to hide something. And i never had one want to get in and search my truck.

    Remember that face. We might see this guy again on the national news one day having done something insanely stupid to hurt a lot of people. I sure hope I'm wrong.

    If your going to make a stand to prove a point, don't do it in your company truck, while your working. I'm going to guess Swift wasn't to thrilled about that and chances are that driver is back to flipping burgers at McDonald's.
     
    Boy Howdey and Hitman Thank this.
