the solution...simply take a chill pill and just comply/answer in a calm,polite way even if you wanna tell him something not so nice  ....then crossing is a breeze.
I felt sorry for this guy at first but then he just dug a hole for himself as time went on ..... your never gonna win those situations |
Couldn't have said it better. The agent asked what stores, to see if the guy was lying about where he was going. Last time I crossed, they asked me if I was going for Work or School... I gave him a confused look and said "For fun". He just smiled at me then 'cause he knew I admired the question. I learned how to deal with authority pretty quickly in the Army. This kid was so arrogant, had no clue, and wanted to fight The Man. Just by recording the exchange, you knew he was looking for trouble. That video should have as it's soundtrack 'I Fought the Law and the Law Won':
