Why am I finding this to be disturbing................?

Pish Posh, she got off easy.
edit.. ^^^ Apply sarcasm here ^^^

At least she wasn't in Texas, they'd have seized the vehicle and any cash and valuables she had under civil asset forfeiture laws there.

I'd avoid going anywhere near Tenaha..

 

Thanks for that tidbit of information. The northeast is one section of the country I haven't visited. Maybe rent a car when I come to Maine so I don't get targeted?

 

Simple!
if you don't have a passport, don't go to canada!!

 

I know a young lady, she may or may not be related, who has held a driver license in three states, and has not taken a driving test, ever! She is actually a good driver.

Edit: removed the video, I didn't intend it to be in the posting.

I hear ya Pete. Customs wise, I have never had a problem with the US Customs but have had several "jerk arounds" coming back into Canada. Have found that if your unlucky enough to draw a young female and some young male CBS officers, especially those of french origin, your likely to get a real run around.

 

So... you were thrown out of the country...

 

Can't remember exactly what state it happened in, but...

Pulled over by a state trooper that was very mad at my rate of speed. "Too damm fast" was his description. He was so mad, his face was red and I had to cover my face to keep it from getting wet when he spoke (yelled) at me!

I just let him continue with his rant and after what seemed like about 2 minutes, he paused and asked "Well, what have you to say for yourself?"

I asked in a slow calm voice, "Sir, if I were to buy a couple of tickets for the State Policeman's ball, could we forget all about this mistake I made?"

"NO!" he screamed even louder......."State Police don't have balls!"

 

Some states (like Florida) require an IDP in conjunction with the current valid foreign driver's license.
If she was from French Canada she should have known you don't drive in the USA without the english version of your license.
Same with keeping only a paper copy of your passport; some places you can some places want the original on your person. You should always, always, always have a scanned copy of your passport in case you lose the original. It will help if/when you end up at an embassy.


You can tell when a mainstream media is dishing out fake news when they start a video with a logical fallacy like : "Woman arrested for being Canadian". (she wasn't arrested for being Canadian) Get ready for cherry-picked facts and half a story. Often a 'hate southern states' piece from WAPO or CNN. CBS is good for it too.


You've needed proof of a driver's license and proof of citizenship to cross both borders in either direction for several years now.
New enhanced licenses are going to be needed to cross state borders pretty soon too. Unless they change the rules, if your state's drivers license isn't compliant your driver's license may not be valid in other states.

 

......don't quit your day job !!!!!!.................

 

Hint... if going into Quebec, start in French, even only if its bonjour, it really helps..

 

I was almost arrested in Michigan for driving a PERSONAL truck with a antique hit and miss engine on the bed. Because I had no DOT numbers or name on the side of the truck and obviously the machinery on the back can't be for personal use. After half a dozen cops showed up I finally said "document everything you said, arrest me and impound my truck...... I need the money. One of them made a call then one by one they left with the last one saying next time enter Michigan I should have DOT numbers.....

 

I have a better idea.............since there is NOTHING that I need, want or want to see in "Q" bec, and the only French I know is in a dressing bottle or a deep fryer, I don't ever venture over there. The bridge across the river is only 4 km's away. I treat it much the same way they treat the border between North & South Korea. Heard way too many horror stories in regard to Ontario plates and the QPF in La Belle Province.

 

Yup rottiman that is the other option with the Quebec cois!!

 

I was toting part of a locomotive radiator into Yorkton, Saskatchewan one year, went through the checkpoint and had all the paperwork and stuff, yet the Border Patrol Agent asked me, "Why don't you just buy a radiator in Canada?"

The stinking thing took up the back of a truck and was only part of the radiator, and I was like, "You can't just buy a radiator for a locomotive at Autozone."
