A lot of the searches actually are random in nature. They’ll search every 10th car or camper through the checkpoint. So it could just be your bad luck that you end up getting searched.
Usually I just give direct, short answers to their questions and they STILL grill me with side questions.. Ugh.. This happens in both directions of the border.. not sure what I'm doing wrong, or I just happen to always roll up to the kiosk with the tough border agents (eg, bad luck)...
Sir Charles did not attend. He needs his rabbis shots undated which happens this coming Saturday. His Blood Glucose is up a little so there is a chance he'll need to start insulin again. He's between 16 and 18, not sure since he's a rescue kitty. Freedoms, Canada is almost as good as home, fact is, it feels just like home. Signage is strange with KPH and French. Have a great day.
I liked Kelli texting me my picture from the traffic cameras. That seems "Big Bro" to me. The lane I was in, I could see he was sending more people to the side than any other lane. When you go to the side like that, just smile and wave, wrong place to take a stand. Fortunately, no rubber gloves. That would have made the evening news!
I heard that sometimes they would tell you to turn off your camera so it won't be filming what the boarder personnel are doing searching your vehicle. I also heard that they might tell you delete the footage if you have any footage.
I hate to say it, but Canada is well on its way to becoming a bit of a Marxist State with the limits on speach and hard hitting law enforcement if you're following or promoting a non-approved Idiology.
If you give odd answers or they're too vague/detailed, then they might get suspicious and decide to search you. They might also search you if you're overall behavior is off, since they're trained to look for stuff out of the ordinary, etc. Let's not also forget that sometimes they just do it at random..
I guess they have to be very careful. If only our southern border was as secure. Your cooperation was a good example of the right way to deal with it. What kind of dog was that? Kind of looked like a French Poodle. If so that would be appropriate for Canada. They are very smart!
I thought the dog was a German Wire Haired Pointer. Nice dog, don't pet it. The guards are just doing their job. Be nice, do what they ask, got er dun, out of there in short order. Much longer by being a confrontational jerk. Plus get welcomed back next time.
GO PRO HERO 5 BLACK. I attach to the windshield high and centered with a Go Pro suction mount. I use a 64 gigabyte micro SD card. Sometimes I set the camera to timelapse mode for long drives. Most of the time it's 1080P at 30 frames. I also plug a charge cord in for long periods of use. It's been a very good camera.
Usually where you from, where you going, how long, large amount cash, produce, weapons, marijuana or drugs, then they flag you on unless they think they need to ask anything else. They asked me three times about cash. For some reason, I'm one of those people that gets stopped every time and I've never been in trouble with the law, a fine upstanding citizen. Go figure.
CITAP1 I usually get flagged flying back into the US. Think the customs guy saw a Turkish stamp I had and wasn’t happy. Like do you realize Turkish Airlines run daily flights from many US cities.... If it was really that big of a problem I would have thought it wouldn’t be allowed...
@@TheZombaslaya It makes you wonder. My whole life, I have been singled out at borders and airports. The border agents always talk in their best authoritative deep voice to sound intimidating. I just be polite and answer the questions, jump the hoops, and have always gone on my way. My worst incident was when I had a kids bb gun with me. They didn't like that at all and detained me a couple hours researching my background. Canada doesn't like anything with a 600 foot per second velocity which this bb gun did have. The agent said it was a good thing I declared it or I'd have been behind bars. As it ended, I purchased an intransit import license and went on my way after 3 or 4 hours. No trouble coming back into the US.
Some of the conversation went in and out of personal information that doesn't need to be shared on TH-cam. The main reason they wanted to search was for pistols and to inspect my air rifle, also for pot, produce, & etcetera. I had no guns, the air rifle was cool with the border guards, and I do no drugs. The dog smashed my fresh bakery loaf of bread I was so looking forward to. Basically, I had to condense the video down to get stuff inside a reasonable amount of time so people could watch events without sitting, waiting for something to happen. Thanks for watching and take care...
@@CITAP1 I would really hate to leave my vehicle unattended while it was being searched. I wouldn't put it past some guards, especially on the US side, to plant something and then "find" it.
There's aiways that chance but I think it happens on TV more than in reality. Best thing is to just be friendly and let them do their job. The guards were nice enough to me, just trying to do their jobs. They probably hear a lot of guff from people throughout their day, don't add to it.
They had the dog run through the cab, camper, and around the vehicle. I was not personally searched but I may have been wearing my usual shorts and Tshirt so not very search worthy. Yeah it's personally invasive and you feel like you got mugged at gunpoint but it's the border patrol so I understand it's a job they need to do so I don't raise a stink and just let it get over with. Ar least they didn't tear anything apart like the guards at the crossing in north Montana glacier park to Waterton Lakes BC. That was in the 80s. Personally, I would only cross at major crossings, not little crossings. Hopefully the borders will open soon. There friends to visit, places to see. Buy your produce in CA. We usually have to either eat or throw away what we have at the border.
@@CITAP1 Yea I get it it is pretty much like a invasion of privacy those border searches and thanks so much for answering and you mean to buy the produce in Canada or did you mean California I'm confused sorry bro
I have gone back and forth through this crossing 5 times a year or so for more than 30 years. I was searched only once in that time, returning to Canada. The US border guards are brusque and unfriendly, almost rude. Their Canadian counterparts are a bit more civil, but just as thorough. This guy was searched because he fits the profile of a traveller with guns. The incidence of gun owners trying to take undeclared weapons into Canada is much higher than it used to be, so border guards are more alert about cracking down on smugglers. The typical culprit is a male over 55, often from a Southern or other Red state. If the border guard has the least suspicion you have a gun in your car, expect to be searched. Americans: WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T BRING GUNS INTO CANADA. IF YOU HAVE A GUN WITH YOU, FILL OUT THE PROPER FORMS AND DECLARE IT AT THE BORDER. If not: You will probably be refused entry to Canada. You stand a good chance of losing your gun permanently, especially if it's a handgun. You will be prosecuted. You will be assessed a fine of up to $2000. You will be flagged for scrutiny at the border ever afterward.
@@philmacgregor1374 less freedom and less Constitution. Owning firearms is a right in the US, not a privilege. It’s an inalienable right, not something the government condescends to allow. Big difference.
The trouble is always going into Canada. Lately it's with the truck camper. Years ago I was crossing into Waterton Lakes, Prince of Wales Lodge for a honeymoon getaway of all things. the pricks tore the car apart looking for stuff. Had to put it back together myself. American guards are much nicer and don't act like they have a chip on their shoulder. Just my experience. The customs wanted to take me aside for a search coming back from Mazatlán.

If you are being searched in secondary every time you cross the border you got flagged previously for some reason, no doubt about that. Sure you didn't lose your temper just once at the border guard because that will do it.
@@mreppen1 It is always astonishing and appalling for me that in the Northern American hemisphere crossing into another country is still considered an exception, a security risk, a rare occasion, something where security obviously want to believe how much of a privilege it was to cross etc (and that you should stay in your country for most of your life). That is so weird especially afer having lived 20 years in Switzerland and being able to cross borders into 27 countries without any checks or just some very rare random checks.

@@CaribouEno The reason is that Canada, the USA and Mexico has significantly different laws among them regarding guns and drugs. If you don't have borders, then it's far more difficult to enforce your own laws.
Wow, those agents searched your RV/car without your presence? did you allow them to do so? did they tell you they'd search it, when you went into that building? that's scary...
I had nothing to hide. Never been in trouble with the law, run a successful business of 30 years. Hundreds are searched daily without issue.

Just don't do anything stupid like guns without claiming them or illegal drugs including pot.

*You need to buy a toy gun and make a video where you declare that weapon. You can say you’re being extra cautious because once you found out you could’ve been arrested had you not declared a BB gun.* You could make a video with the toy gun no matter what, but if you wanna make sure you’re taking “more seriously“ you could buy this fly/bug killing gun called the Bug-A-Salt. You put regular table salt in the gun, you caulk it, and then you shoot it at a fly in the house. It literally kills the fly because it shoots the salt out at such high pressure. So maybe the salt technically comes out of the gun it over 500 FT/SEC. The gun is only effective against flies at about 3 feet away from the fly, so it’s not like the salt flies across the room. But I don’t know, the salt may technically be traveling at 500ft/sec For the few feet that the salt actually travels. It’s kind of a cool gun do use against flies from what I understand. A lot of people post videos about it on TH-cam. The gun is kind of expensive at about $45. But if you don’t want to waste all that money then you could buy the gun on Amazon, go across the border, and then we turn the gun on Amazon for a full refund. And if you have Amazon prime then you don’t have to pay shipping either. Just make sure you get it all on video. You’ll probably get at least 100,000 views. Lol.
That shirt has to be 20 years old. I thought I was doing so well, dressed for the occasion. I rarely get out of construction clothes. If those clothes got me searched, I'm definitely not going to wear Surfer or Rapper styles. Might go with Amish?
Another thing to keep in mind is most cash has trace amounts of drugs on it. A dog triggering on money means nothing other than someone who previously handled had drugs on their hands or used the bill to snort coke or inhale any number of other drugs.

If you cross the border frequently...by car...get a NEXUS. It costs $50...is good for 5 years...and makes crossings much easier and quicker.
