i agree there is a time and place to exercise our rights.. our elders fought and died for them...i think they would be ashamed of us for becoming so docile.. i believe in freedom of travel...this is a right, and rights u do not pay for, and by paying i mean a license, insurance, registration...if your legal person/corporation agrees to pay for these rights under the contracts of a license/registration/insurance by all means go ahead that also is one of your rights.....but as a man i have the choice to decide and nobody can say this is mandatory...
i feel it's my duty to my fellow man, to share this info....

ANNEX
Declaration on the Right and Responsibility of Individuals, Groups and Organs of Society to Promote and Protect Universally Recognized Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms
The General Assembly,
Reaffirming the importance of the observance of the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations for the promotion and protection of all human rights and fundamental freedoms for all persons in all countries of the world,
Reaffirming also the importance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights2 and the International Covenants on Human Rights Resolution 2200 A (XXI), annex. as basic elements of international efforts to promote universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms and the importance of other human rights instruments adopted within the United Nations system, as well as those at the regional level,
Stressing that all members of the international community shall fulfil, jointly and separately, their solemn obligation to promote and encourage respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction of any kind, including distinctions based on race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status, and reaffirming the particular importance of achieving international cooperation to fulfil this obligation according to the Charter,
Acknowledging the important role of international cooperation for, and the valuable work of individuals, groups and associations in contributing to, the effective elimination of all violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms of peoples and individuals, including in relation to mass, flagrant or systematic violations such as those resulting from apartheid, all forms of racial discrimination, colonialism, foreign domination or occupation, aggression or threats to national sovereignty, national unity or territorial integrity and from the refusal to recognize the right of peoples to self-determination and the right of every people to exercise full sovereignty over its wealth and natural resources,
Recognizing the relationship between international peace and security and the enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms, and mindful that the absence of international peace and security does not excuse non-compliance,

Stressing that the prime responsibility and duty to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms lie with the State,

I just love the creative editing of these types of videos when things don't go very well for example the guy in the motor home. That is just one that was cut off. there were several. I am sure he eventually was able to drive away... Eventually hehe
I did notice that everyone one in the video did actually stop at the check point. My questions Why Stop??? You touted that you have the right to travel freely in the US right!!!! interesting

Just because we have these rights doesn't mean every police officer knows about them, the government has a duty as stated in the universal declaration of human rights to teach all men there rights in all levels of schooling, but the sad fact is that they don't, not even to the peace officers that are policing the our streets.
I guess they stop at these checkpoints out of regard to the safety of the peace officers asking them to. Maybe they stop to let them know what there doing is unlawful... Remember police work for u, not against u. It's the police officers duty to answer questions such as these.
I never touted anything, freedom of travel is a right period. If it is a right that means u shouldn't have to explain to anyone where your going or where you came from, and when someone pulls u over at a checkpoint they are the ones breaking the law... Food for thought

I didn't watch the whole thing because I hate wasting time on pure ignorance, but you are right. There sure is a lot of editing to make it look like the officers involved simply backed off. Bogus B S if you ask me.
beard
you are right!!! bad choice of words on my part. I was actaully refering to the people in the video touting they had the freedom to move freely in the US. Sorry!!! I should have used "they" instead of "you" my bad
People often carefully use certain rights to make a point and often refuse to acknowledge certain laws and regulations that suspend your rights and go against the point they are trying to make.
People often forget about state laws such as refusal to self identify that gives police the right to detain you without probably cause if you refuse to cooperate and provide identification when asked on the basis of their safety. People have to realize that both party's have rights and it is not always about their rights. This "ME ME ME" generation sometimes forgets that small but important fact.
So before people proclaim their rights are being violated they better study up on laws and regulations in the state they are in. It is a fine line to walk for sure.

Why not just proudly say that you ARE a U.S. citizen and move on? If you have done nothing wrong, why be antagonistic about answering a question?
I guess these people who are traveling lawfully feel like the police are the ones being antagonistic,
It's about principle. The constitution says specifically this is against the law.

Couple of questions for you Beard. Why the heck do you even care about random check points in the U.S. from what I saw of what I did watch all officers looked like they were either US Border patrol or local LEO's not RCMP. Second of all why the heck do you care what the United Nations says in the upper document. I am not a citizen of the UN I am an American, and as far as I can tell you are not a citizen of the UN but Canadian. We are governed by our countries law, not the UN. If you are so worried about this document being abided by, why don't you check into how freely you can travel in some of the other countries that are members of the UN. Little check points that we have in this country would be miniscule compared to what other countries do.
God bless you for quoting that helluva post!!!
doo rulz....mos def!!
i care because the same things are going on in canada, wheather they call it a drinking and driving roadside check, (which happens often in canada), or an immigration checkpoint, these unlawful(this is important) stops go against my rights as a man.
Funny u ask about the uhdr, actually a canadian wrote this, i believe his name was sir albert humfrey (off the top of my head). The united states and canada both adopted these principles as well as a buttload of other countries. Actually your right that u r not a citizen of the U.N, none the less it still applies to u(thank god). Your not really a citizen of the U.S either, when u call yourself a citizen what your actually saying is a corparation. You have something called the duality of the person...which means you as a man can operate as a citizen or a man.....A citizen pays for rights and privelages a man gets them free!!
your right that other countries break our human rights more so than canada or the U.S, were lucky that it hasn't gotten that bad.....yet. After talking to my dad, grandfather, i can see that slowly our rights are being stripped away, it's so slow infact most people don't even notice.
hope that answers some of your questions, cheers
