Jalopnik is loaded with clickbait, but this is worth watching. They filmed themselves of course.

Watch Brain Geniuses Get Arrested For Refusing To Answer 'Are You A Citizen' At U.S. Border
When it comes to dealing with the border patrol, the name of the game is "cooperation."

The U.S. Border Patrol has sweeping powers to arrest and detain folks within 100 miles of the border (or, ya know, the entire state of Michigan.) They are the very last cops with whom you’d want to tussle, but that didn’t stop two brain geniuses from trying to use legalese magic to avoid one simple question; Are you a citizen?

Luckily, the doofuses recorded the entire interaction for our delectation and delight. While these guys don’t spout Sovereign Citizen rhetoric, they do display similar lack of both understanding of U.S. laws and common sense. They sound like they are about one blow to the head away from claiming they are “traveling” not driving.

Passenger seat wannabe-lawyer freaks out at Texas border patrol checkpoint and gets them both arrested.
