busted in tj

[juice4me]

the fine can be 10 times the amount of domestic value of the gear. and mine was worth 1000 domestic. so could have of been 10000 that would of really blew. the other option is to take a plea and a 5000 dollar fine with can be dropped down to 500 if you agree to pay within 30 days. of course i took the plea they caught me red handed. but if you dont pay in 30 it jumps back to 5000 and if you dont pay that they jack your tax returns until it paid off.

Yep, didn't you notice all of the camera's on your way in? They know what time you crossed the border because they take a picture of your license plate. They can pull your plate info up as you leave and get your info off of the computer.

did your command find out?

I always put mine in a speaker box full of subs what do you think the chances are that they'd take all of the screws out of a subwoofer to look inside the box?


I always thought you needed a reason to search that much.

I had a friend drive across and they were suspicious because of his size. they had him pop the trunk and thecustoms guy picked his speaker box up and shook it ( it held two 12's). If you decide to do this I would unsrcew a speaker and tape your gear down on the inside just in case they decide to shake it.

maybe I'll go inside the box and screw the fucker to the trunk so they can't even pick it up...

That will at least give me time to bitch about hassleing us.

Any other bust since June 2? It is now the 8th, I hope this was an isolated case.

bump.....how much is the fine if you get caught at the border?

 

[juice4me]

mine was 500 but it can go for something like 10 x the street value of the gear
