Middle America's Worldview

I have heard of the issue of “border patrol” checkpoints 50 miles and more inside the states, rather than on the actual border. Videos surfaced showing the federal officers doing nothing but stopping the citizens and asking the question “are you an American citizen?”. Once answered yes, then they move along. Additionally, a high powered tower with many mounted cameras are normally on the side of the road, taking facial pictures of the passengers, and license plate scans, as the vehicles pass by these checkpoints.

Knowing this, the obvious question is why? There really does not seem a good reason to have these sitting out in the middle of no-where, serving nothing more than a waste of tax dollars. Unless, it is more of a logging (via cameras) and conditioning (via having American citizens accepting these checkpoints within United States). Recently, TSA has also shown to advance over 9000 checkpoints last year alone (not all counting inside airports),

So we have two new groups rising to a Nazi SS type of federal branch, imposing checkpoints, which is illegal.

I came across the youtube channel 4409 by accident, and checked out their main page. Below is a video from them, exposing what these checkpoints are really about. Their consensus was the same as mine.
