Good dog.

Probably not. It sounds almost…involuntary.

I mean, I guess running over a kid could be considered doing nothing wrong. I could also guess what kind of “person” you are.

there is no evidence of speeding or wrongdoing on the part of the driver, therefore no charges have been filed.

I feel like Atlanta law enforcement might need a refresher on what “wrongdoing” means.

That’s probably a valid point. I just checked the import requirements into the States for citizens, and it does say you need to declare items. I have never bothered, was always asked, and usually said no, or maybe a bottle or two of liquor.

No wait. The first time I traveled abroad was to Mexico via airplane, and I itemized everything. Including the gummy bears I bought, every coin I had, all currency, a small jar of sand from the beach, and a lot more. I filled up 3 pages. The border cops just rolled their eyes, and verbally told me to only declare anything over $10K. Last time I came into the States via boat, I just said personal stores, and it was also fine.

If you want to follow the law to the letter, do it to the letter. If you don’t get sunburned easily, maybe do that.

Bear in mind that it’s easier to say you fucked up a form than lying to some badge wearing

You know, it’s been more than a year since I’ve been back to the States. Shit’s gotten weird there. Listen to more recent anecdotal stuff, read the 6059b form, and decide your risk level.

Never volunteer information, especially to cops. Otherwise, look at some other comments here. It’s probably a more usual use-case. I’m not a good average person.

Going across the border to buy something is completely legal. Bringing it back for resale is different. You said something you want, and then you said pretend it’s a personal item. There’s an inconsistency. If it’s something you want, then it is a personal item. As long as it isn’t illegal, you’re legally fine. That being said, there are two things to be aware of. Legality is a bit more fluid these days (especially at the border), and I’d guess you’d look and act very suspicious, which would probably end poorly for you based on the first thing.

I did this often when I was in a country with VAT. It was cheaper to fly, buy the thing, and fly back. Or sail, which I also did.

26 tax laws? You mean 26 volumes, right? /S from the US.

Honestly, no innocent person was disappeared or shot. This has been the most positive article about cops I’ve read in a while.

That’s the thing people seem to miss (although they seem to be coming around a bit). What you did or how evil you are can only be determined by due process.

Copied my comment from an earlier link to this article:

So the guy who got picked up is currently detained without charge, after having his original charges dismissed. Brian Sullivan, the ICE agent, was held in contempt, which might turn into a charge, and is currently free.

Certainly sounds like Brian Sullivan is enjoying his due process while denying others theirs.

Based on the username, I think it was heading this way regardless.

Really cool project!

Didn’t see the link anywhere.

Osprey won’t eat food it doesn’t catch itself. Seems more libertarian to me. Florida scrub jays will eat out of your hand, sends like they could go more left. Great kiskadee would be authoritarian, and will attack whatever, but are small. Not sure where it would go. This is fun.

Fuck you Jesus!

Meant to edit, but now I’m stuck with how funny and ridiculous it is.

No wonder they deleted the comments.

Thanks for explaining. I appreciate it.

Did you edit the username? Those comments were deleted by the time I came across that thread.

“Assuming the timeline and information reported is true, the likelihood of anything getting to anyone who could have done anything in such a short time was very low,” Admiral Donegan said. “In the end our planes did not get shot down and no U.S. service personnel were injured or died.”

I suppose they can thank the journalist.
