We always thought that the difference between local law enforcement and the feds was the latter's strict observance of the laws and regulations guiding their employment and duties.But now one of our avid seven readers has sent us visual proof thy might share some of the same frailties of their local brethren.
In the photos below, our reader said that the Border Patrol agent aboard the truck was smoking cigarettes in the vehicle and occasionally flicked the ashes out the window.
The photo was taken tuesday near the airport on Boca Chica approaching Iowa Avenue. When he finished smoking the cigarette, the agent threw the butt out the window and into the grassy side of the road.The, apparently, he got a phone call and used the hand-held device as he sped along, as can be seen from the reflection in the mirror. in hi government-issued vehicle.
The message that is sent is that these officers would have you do as they say and not as they do. Ain't it nice when the law is selective and they apply it on civilians only, but you better have your papers if he decides to question your citizenship.
Is it a flaunting of the rules or is it merely a privilege that comes along with a federal badge?

I've seen those assholes out by the PUB (Silas Ray). If they're not on netflix, they're passed out recovering from their alcohol intake. Assholes.
Eldelasprietas.
BP is an occupation army, Montoya. It is here to keep you in line. LOL
Some real charlatans.
First class retirement system plus a fair share of inside illegal trading and family ties.
Plus discounted services at lots of businesses.
Almost as interesting as BPUB police and firemen.
Too bad there is such abuse.
Real heroes among them too.
Just part of the game we play with cops and robbers and/or cowboys and indians.
Karma is a b----.
lots of bad stuff like high rates of diabetes (too may donuts) etc.
If brownsville is smoke free why do customs smoke at the bridge
What do you espect
Brown Power guay
All employees should clock out when smoking
So the person taking the photograph wanted to catch the Border Patrol agent doing what he wasn't supposed to be doing with his phone by doing something they weren't supposed to be doing with their phone?
Got it.
ha ha Forhp Hstvos. i love it!
as a former CBP officer in Hidalgo, officers were, maybe STILLL not allowed to smoke in our booths. It all depends on the port. That's just Brownsville for you. Por eso no arribamos raza.
Most are good guys.
Cut them some slack.
Don't care much for BP, strongly believe they are overpaid and many abuse the CBP pay system.
With that being said, I can tell you with all certainty, that BP agents rely heavily on their cell phones to carry out their actual duties. We will never now who that agent was talking to; since we don't know and it is none of our business, cut him some slack.
Who gives a shit I saw a bp suv being washed by car washers in the downtown area and the driver was working on a CROSS WORD PUZZLE
