She sure was. They, law enforcement, should be required to support any lawful claims they make, just because she thinks doesn't make it illegal or give them the right to detain. I have a dash-cam in my personal vehicle and travel to Canada every two or so weeks for pleasure and once every six months for work. Never a word said on either side of the boarder, I cross between Port Huron and Sarnia.
I know a couple of the boarder offices that work the Detroit side of the crossing, they run a local gun shop, I'll ask them what this was all about.
It would be interesting to see what those insiders say. I've worked in secure facilities, so I understand the need for certain rules..... but mostly in those cases they were pretty obvious, or clearly posted in 4" high lettering.
Tried an experiment just now. Using Google streetview, I can "drive"
from the USA through the border crossing just south of Winnipeg MB into Canada. Notably, when I "turn around" in MB, and try and drive
back to the USA along the same route, there is a
Can't Get there From Here jump, approaching the USA. As cited in the article, there is no clear Public Statement about this, @ Oct/14 - but trust Google to get this right.
I'd hate to get tripped up by this myself.... just wanted to kick off this thread as a PSA for other law abiding folks looking for trouble-free border crossings, as
Ignorance of the Law doesn't fly, even if it is hidden in the fine print of Section ABC, Sub-section 972, Paragraph 7, Note 3, Clause 2.4za6, Sub-clause 529.392.
