| April 14, 2005 Homeland Security Checkpoint Stop |
 |
The first time I was stopped at a Homeland
Security Checkpoint was on April 14, 2005.
Having been stopped and arrested at an
illegal joint task force roadblock conducted
by tribal police, U.S. Customs, and the
Border Patrol several years earlier - merely
for asking a few questions, I always made
sure to carry a camera with me when traveling
along this road.
After the 2002 arrest, I fought the charges
in court where they were dismissed 'with
prejudice'. I then sued the tribal police for
malicious prosecution and civil rights
violations in federal court. That case is
currently in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals
with details available at:

On the day of this video, I wasn't expecting
to be stopped at a checkpoint but my camera
allowed me to record the details of the stop.
A complete write-up of the 2005 incident is
available at:
