Re: He was quiet and kept to himself
I admit we are both just talking from what we think we know, but I am 99% sure that if a cop thinks what he sees is blood, he has the right to atleast detain the car/driver until he finds out.

Re: He was quiet and kept to himself
I know that the officer could put him under an ivestigative detention for any number of reasons, but I'm not sure that he would necessarily be able to test the chainsaw for blood without a warrant, and I'm not sure that he would be able to get one when the suspect is a US citizen, has no outstanding warrants, and there are no other indications of illegal activity.
We've got a bunch of lawyers on here, who wants to lend a hand?

[/ QUOTE ] Well, if the border patrol found the bloody chainsaw, it could give them probable cause to detain him, and the fact that he's travelling might give them enough reason to hold him for an extended period of time since he's obviously a flight risk. I'm not sure that they'd be able to run tests on his property to find out if it's human blood on it or if they'd be able to get enough evidence to charge him with anything.

Re: He was quiet and kept to himself
As long as he isn't Arab looking, let him in. THE PATRIOT ACT ROCKS THE HOUSE.

Re: He was quiet and kept to himself
They kept him there for hours and interrogated him. Apparently they couldn't do more, even with a bloody chainsaw. If anything, they should've been able to get him for the brass knuckles, right? I'mn sure those are illegal.
