DEMING -- An older couple driving west from Livingston, Texas, found an extra rider when they stopped in Deming on Monday.
The couple told Deming Police they had stopped at rest areas in Fort Stockton and Ozona, Texas, and at each noticed a man walking in the area. They thought nothing of it.
When they stopped at Deming's Big Kmart, however, they noticed the man again.
This time he was riding in the mini-van they were towing behind their recreational vehicle.
Police arrested Omar Miller, 20, no address listed, charging him with breaking and entering.

a 500 miles range, two drivers, he could be back there freezing for a LONG time.
And maybe after seven or eight hours driving through the coldest prts of the country you could stand in the back window holding a steaming cup of coffee and a sandwich......

But he's trapped in your toad at 60 MPH. When you get tired of torturing him you can pull up behind a police car.

Hmm, so let me see, the guy BREAKS into the van and "I'M torturing HIM?" I
can understand that, it's my fault, I shouldn't be towing the van as that
way he wouldn't have been tempted to BREAK into the van!

He did not break into the your van. He opened the unlocked door of your van and sat down waiting for you to return. Instead you kidnapped him and took him somewhere he may or may not have wanted to go. It is all your fault.

There is more truth in what he said than not!

I'm SURE we need to get the ACLU involved here. I'm sure his rights were violated by being "taken" where he didn't want to go. Kidnapping perhaps or just general Civil Rights violations

Fun as this sounds, it's not too far fetched. That's how Wackenhut
got started. Now they are huge! Large $$$ involved. When I was in
the Police Academy, once a month Wackenhut tested on the nextdoor
facility. Man, I have to say that for every position they had 50
applicants and most of 'em looked like they belonged on the other side
of the bars.
I haven't seen any GMCs used for transporting prisoners yet, I guess
it's only a matter of time.
