The U.S. government has charged Samuel Tunick with allegedly typing in a passcode to wipe his phone before officers could search it. “I hope people understand that the charges against me are meant to intimidate people,” he said.
Whatever you want to categorize “not US” as is not really the point. They have long claimed this authority “on entry”. There’s no authority in France or Australia or a pocket dimension but “on entry”. Actually I suppose the pocket dimension is important because that is what defines the border that otherwise appears to be wholly in the us
The pocket dimension matters because if it were just “on entry” you could say “ok, in that case, I won’t enter”. But, once you’re in this special place, the 4th amendment doesn’t apply, so they can search all your stuff. Yet, at the same time, apparently if you do certain things, you’re breaking laws that should only apply to people who are within the USA.
I completely disagree. When you’re in the pocket dimension you’re completely safe. The problem is the pocket dimension exists only to move the border to arbitrary locations.
For example in this case we’re talking about Atlanta which is 200 miles inland. Any casual look at the border tells you they are already in the us. Yet the pocket dimension moves the border so you’re “entering” the us and your civil rights can be violated
How are you completely safe? While you’re in that pocket dimension they’re allowed to do anything they want to you, and you don’t receive the normal protections that you would otherwise get from the constitution if you were in the USA. The pocket dimension seems like the most dangerous place to be.
