The minute he refused to answer the questions he looked suspicious and they are going to find a way to look in his car.

That said, he should have never been beat like he was and treated like he was. If they really suspected that he had something in the car they should have told him they were taking him out of the car and if he refused or resisted they would taze him. If he then refused/resisted I can see why they would use force, but still not like they did. It sounds like he wasn't fighting back so there was no need to break the windows and kick his ass like they did.

I would assume the tapes of this will become public and the guys that overstepped their authority will be dealt with.

Being a border patrol guard is a rough job, but they went way too far with this dude. (Assuming everything he is saying is true)
i only read the first bit of this.. but they literally would have to have exact description of him blazing over the mexican border to be justified in strip-searching him and his car.

in vancouver, i would be legally able to walk away from a police officer, providing he doesn't give me justifiable reason for me to stay and answer his questions.

that being said, i'd answer the questions.
