I was watching Border Security International last night and I'm buggered if I know how they can do this. One of the Canadian/States Borders is on a main route. Last night - and this has happened before - a couple took a wrong turn back down the road a bit and ended up at the Border crossing into Canada. Of course there is nowhere to turn around so they get hauled in and their vehicle searched. They both had Medical Marijuana with them, all legal in their State. They get thrown in a cell and then promptly get charged with trying to enter Canada with illegal drugs! Copped a big fine and their dope taken off them. Now what gets me is - they weren't trying to cross the bloody Border, they took a wrong turn. So how can they be charged? I have seen this happen before on there. I'm beginning to think they have purposely put inadequate signage back down the road to catch people.  Not somewhere I would care to visit for sure. |

It seems that once you miss that turn off, you're stuffed. There is nowhere else to turn off.

It seems that once you miss that turn off, you're stuffed. There is nowhere else to turn off. It appears that way. So they got straight to border toll gates? To me all they wanted to do was turn & head back without all that border control heavies involved kinda felt sorry for them. Its a simple thing to do when out Sunday driving we've all done it I'm sure. |

Yeah - obviously got into the traffic flow with no way out. I've seen a few on the program caught out the same way. It stinks.

power tripping
money grubbing
compliance nazis
its the same here
if you are northbound on auckland motorway
and dont exit at herne bay
then you are committed to going over the bridge
there are a couple of toll roads here
one is off a roundabout
if you get in the wrong lane
or make the wrong turn
then you are committed to taking that road
there is nowhere to turn
they just built an expressway
to te puke
opened last month
if you get on it
there is no way of turning or getting off it
until you reach te puke
20kms down the road
so its a 40km mistake
and $3.00 toll for the privilege
canadian border control
have put me off ever going to canada
again
who needs that shit
when you go for a visit?

Yeah they are real tough - or is it extra drama turned on for the cameras? But this shit with people being stuck at the crossing when they had no intention of going there is BS. |
