On October 10, 2010 at 5:45 PM I stopped at a roadblock and notice a Border Patrol Officer make a circular motion with his hand to the officer with the dog and while I was being question I notice in my side mirror the officer with the dog walking around my vehicle.

It was 10:35PM and there was about 8 troopers with cars on both sides. It was dark and you could not see the Troopers until you where almost on top of them.
