Vehicle Searches at Border are Illegal - news article

guess the lawyer should have got his paper work in a little sooner eh?

Yeah, where is the negative in that story?  Good on that judge for not being jerked around and allowing more time wasting to do what needed to be done.
 
zipp...
The lawyers were tardy - but they were stuck waiting for the publication from the US Supreme court WRT the status of Lethal Injections.  Without the decision, the lawyers didn't have a leg to stand on, with it they had all the justification in the world... Methinks that, based on the US SUpreme court's decision, this fella might be the last person to be put to death using these means.
 
Something I picked up on a CBSA site.

I spent nearly 2 hours of sheer hell at the border yesterday. If I had my way, I'd never set foot on the border again. If I were in my right mind I'd make a complaint, but I know it'd never go anywhere. These people will NEVER change or be held accountable for anything other than their worst criminal actions!

I dealt with some of the rudest people I have ever had the displeasure of meeting there. They yanked the ID and papers from my hand as I was handing them over, leaving them crumpled and torn. They asked all sorts of stupid and irrelevant questions that had absolutely nothing to do with things. They yelled at me, they threw things at me, they called me the worst names and swore at me. They ran around like little dictators, barking orders and issuing demands like they owned the place themselves!

I tried my best to explain who I was, what was going on, and what I was doing, but they wouldn't listen. They called me a liar and told me that I didn't have a clue what I was talking about. I was told quite plainly that they knew better than I did. Nothing I said seemed to convince them otherwise and they seemed determined to make an example of me.

While the car was being searched they began slamming doors and throwing things on the ground and inside the back seat, pulling clothes out of the suitcases and strewing them about. It was ridiculous! They even went so far as to direct rude comments at my mother and spit on the ground in front of me like I wasn't even a human being. I was treated like an animal.

When it was all over and done, why suprise surprise! EVERYTHING WAS APPARENTLY OK with the exception of having to pay a little tax. Big friggin deal. All this crap to deal with over such a petty thing as a few dollars! I mean, why didn't they just say that in the first place????

It's not like I know what my responsibilities are! I'm at the border every day because of my job and know exactly what I'm entitled to do and not do IN MY COUNTRY! RIGHT?

I hope I NEVER have to see these snotty, holier-than-thou, vicious little bastards ever again. But I know that's not the case cause I hafta be back to work tomorrow and go thru the whole damned thing all over again cause I'm a CBSA officer. The public can be really nasty!    ;D
