"You f***ing Tased me, you asshole!" CBP In Action [CBD]

I'm not a big fan of "Reason," because their reflexive libertarianism too often runs up against the harsh reality of the world. But they are unabashed fans of the Bill of Rights, and these kinds of stories need to be in the public eye.....

Jessica Cooke, a 21-year-old from Ogdensburg, New York, recently graduated from SUNY Canton with a degree in law enforcement leadership and had already applied for a job as a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent when she was surprised by an impromptu final lesson at a CBP checkpoint on Route 37 in Waddington last week. What she learned -- that people who insist on their constitutional rights in this setting run the risk of being roughed up and shot with a stun gun -- should help make her a better CBP agent, although CBP may not see it that way.
