I just read the article and the whole thing is fucking crazy
Tunick asked four times during the interrogation to speak with a lawyer, but was rebuffed each time, according to courtroom testimony. Additionally, the agents produced no warrant and did not read Tunick his rights.
What are the dumbasses gonna do? Sorry man we’re gonna arrest you on charges for phone restart. The fuck?
Besides the accusations of pedophilia? Are these people actually mental?
I’m not a US citizen but do you have any rights at a border checkpoint? I was under the impression that no warrant is necessary, nor lawyer required, to answer questions.
You have fewer rights at a border crossing for sure, but that doesn’t make it some sort of “constitution free zone”, mostly it means that they are allowed to conduct ‘routine’ searches and interviews without a warrant, and hold you for a certain amount of time, and deny you entry if they deem that necessary, all without a judge or warrant involved. How much protection you get from the 4th and 5th amendments is definitely different at the border than not at the border. But that does not mean you have zero rights at the border, they just want you to feel that way so you stay compliant.

Why yes, yes they are. Like, actually. They are actively attacking the people of our country.

They don’t need a warrant to search. I’m going to assume he’s being charged with obstruction of justice. (Could be wrong)
You are wrong, read the article.
I’m not wrong. Border guards do not need a search warrant. The law is very clear on this.

Laws can violate the constitution… This constitution free zone bullshit started in the patriot act era.
I should’ve specified. I mean’t you are wrong on what he is being charged with, not that border patrol can search without warrants.
That’s why I said (could be wrong) in brackets.
This guy is in a heap of trouble. He should have consulted a lawyer way before encountering border officials so he knew his rights and the law.
