VIDEO: MAN GETS 8 MONTHS IN FEDERAL PRISON FOR DRIVING AWAY FROM INTERNAL CHECKPOINT



The footage shows Mr Sophin approaching a checkpoint approximately 20 miles from the border of Mexico on I-10 near Sierra Blanca, Texas. When the Border Patrol Agent asked Sophin if he is an American citizen, he replied with a dry comment.

“You know, I was going to tell you that I wasn’t going to take any questions today, and then I realized that… if Obama is letting everybody in the country, what difference does it make?” Sophin said.

The agent wasn’t playing games and replied that it “makes all the difference.”

At that point, Sophin refused to cooperate any further, calmly stating “I don’t want to answer any questions, O.K.? Thanks. Have a good night” as he drove away, at regular speed, from the checkpoint.

The agent is heard yelling “Hey, you’re not free to go!” as Sophin drives away.

Agents drove after Sophin and eventually flagged him down and ordered him out of his vehicle at gunpoint.

Sophin was arrested and taken back to the checkpoint, where his vehicle was searched without a warrant or probable cause.

In addition to Sophin’s legally owned firearms, and shooting accessories, the agents found what they described as “anti-government propaganda”. The two items given this description were a copy of The New American Magazine, a freedom and Constitution oriented publication owned by The John Birch Society, and a copy of a book called “Freedom”, written by journalist and activist Adam Kokesh.

Sophin was thrown in jail in El Paso for a whole 18 DAYS before he was released on bond.

During the trial, a juror explained why the decision was made to convict Sophin, despite the clear evidence that no crime was committed. “He should have to answer questions just like the rest of us,” the juror said. In other words, because he decided to stand up for his Constitutional rights, Sophin had to be made an example of.

Beat me to it. Though I might have suggested an alternate approach that lead to the same results. This is gonna end ugly.

How are they going to know he is a legal citizen of the US if he isn't ordered to produce papers?

And some here want a fence and more border patrol.

If not talking is a crime, I'm in big trouble.

Right on.

Wow. I testified against the IRS once and two of the jurors were sleeping. When they woke up they found our side guilty. Stupid peers will sink you fast as $#@!.

[DamianTV]

Guilt here was not one of an actual crime nor violation of the law, but Ignorant Jury.

I'm sure some of the anti-immigrant types on the forum will be here any second to tell us why these checkpoints are a good thing...

Apparently not before one of the liberal types on the forum got here to slur anti-illegal activists as racist types.

As for the original post, there should be a fund to pay his mortgage and stock his commissary fund while he's there.

You know in my country, if you just drive away very fast, the cops don't pursue because it increases the risk to civilians.

Internal security checks. ROFL. you guys are $#@!ed.

Risk to civilians ? This does not even enter into the equation.

Officer safety is the mantra here.....

Why even talk is my question. It's a tug of war. If I pulled up to one of these stops and were questioned, I would just act like a mute and look confused, as if I couldn't understand.

We each need to think very carefully and choose our battles. The Regime we are dealing with is one utterly without moral merit or conscience. No decent person is morally obligated to co-operate with or support them in any way. Any act to subvert, inconvenience, thwart, defeat them which does not harm the Property or Persons of other mundanes is fully within bounds. Deal with them as you would the most thuggish and violence prone of mafia's as that is what in fact they are. Would you tell Sonny C. to go f--- himself on a public street? Or would you bide your time and wait for that opportunity when even the lowest of us can extract payback from the most powerful? Fight back, but do it smart. Its a jungle out there. Be safe.

This is why I loathe this country AND its people. When it burns, and they burn, I will NOT shed any tears.

[Chester Copperpot]

yeah does anybody know the name of that juror so we can call him up and school the $#@! out of him?

“He should have to answer questions just like the rest of us,” the juror said.
