You're missing the point. Yes, these checkpoints do deter wanksters, drug dealers and terrorists from doing whatever it is they are good at. But the thing is, you're basically endorsing waving your rights so that these above the law cops can go and taser whoever the hell they feel like.
So, I guess in light of it all, if I were a cop, I could come into your house because I wanted to and take a look at your shit and you would have no problem? Because you know, you might be a wankster hiding some refugees in your closet.

That's rough. There better be a lawsuit coming out of this.
There are times when the cops/border agents have reasonable cause, then there are the ones who accuse you of stuff just so they can trample your rights.
Personally I would've just let them search (ie I don't feel like getting beaten/tasered  ) but props to the guy for standing up and questioning the officers. And yeah, if the case is legit, I hope this ends up on CNN and the officers get charged.
That reminds me of this one time my buddy got pulled over by a squad of cops because he had his factory fog lights on while driving on No.3. He had just taken delivery of that car days ago and didn't know there was a switch for it (which was left on by someone at the dealership). There are decent cops, then there are some that are just pricks.
