WASHINGTON – Two years ago, Gerardo Serano – an American citizen, Kentucky farmer and a one-time GOP Kentucky statehouse candidate – was driving his brand new, $60,000 Ford F-250 pick-up truck to visit relatives in Mexico, snapping pictures along the way, when US Customs and Border Patrol agents halted him at the border, demanded his cell phone, and asked him why he was taking pictures.
US Customs and Border Patrol agents vehemently when they asked him to unlock his phone, "You need a warrant for that," he says he told them. They searched his truck and found five bullets in a magazine clip that Serano, a Kentucky concealed carry permit holder, forgot to remove before leaving his home.
He was arrested but never charged, they kept his new truck and he has been making $673 payments on the truck loan for two years.
No doubt this case will go to SCOTUS.
