Re: Searched at the Mexican Border. My stuff seized. I pay a hefty fine. BASTARDS!

What was it that made them suspicous of you enough to tell you to pull your truck over??? (Unless your a couple of big ol' buff chicks lol) that just doesnt make since they'll never just tell you to pull over randomly unless they beleive theyve got some kinda reason or you look suspicious, good that nothing happened though I guess, next time try tijuana lol!

I'm thinking that the pharmacist called in to the border. Or, they called the Mexican police who informed the border. It's the only thing I can figure.

By the way - I just got back from a trip to Belize. My boyfriend and I had no problems until we got to US Customs on the return trip. They ran my passport number and they went through EVERYTHING. I was in customs at the Dallas Airport for almost 45 minutes (and none of that was waiting in line.) They let my boyfriend through without searching anything of his, which was totally stupid, because we were traveling together and all my clothes were in the bag he was carrying.

That's crazy how customs works. Sometimes they let you go on fines and other times they leave you in jail.

In one of my early runs to nuevo laredo, I was popped with mu bud with about 50 ml of redijects (not in original packaging) and some hcg etc. They hassled the fuck out of us and we were held for over 4 hours because a newbie was there and doing the paperwork. The captain, officer Bowles, was pretty pissed about the whole thing (we were held in seperate small rooms that they could be using to hold real criminals) and wished his peons didn't catch it or would have just confiscated it and let us thru. His exact quote when looking at the "great" bust his fuckers made "This isn't shit, get this fucking shit out of here" They asked my bud how much we paid for the gear, he told 'em the truth (dumbass) and they slapped us with that fine. After a couple of hours, Officer Bowles came and got us out of the holding cells and let us sit on a bench by his desk. I asked him man to man if he thought I was a bad person or a criminal. He said "Not at all" And noting his solid build and shaved arms, I'm pretty certain he was on the hot sauce himself. This was Feb. 2, 2002. Then after nearly 5 hours, he shook our hands and told us he was sorry and wished us luck.

No they can and will pull you over for no reason. Me and my dad and a couple of my uncles got stopped going into Canada and they had no reason what so ever. We were going to gamble at a casino there. Althought a friend of mine had an oz of wee and they did not search him or pull him over. They made all of us get out the SUV and searched it and did a background check on us all. After about four hours they told us my dad was welcome there b/c he had a battery over ten years ago, but the rest of us could go in. Dam big hassle.

Always walk across, dont drive. As someone else mentioned, you were turned in by the pharmacists.

 

[calico2580]

Massive, while there is nothing wrong with walking, one can make a valid argument for driving gear across in a vehicle. (Both methods have their pros and cons) Obviously a vehicle has many many more places to conceal gear, and if transporting a small amount of gear, you can make it where they must literally tear your car completely apart to find it, which in 99.99999% of cases they will not do unless your vehicle is also loaded with cocaine and weed and their dog bingo goes fuckin banannas in your car. Dog doesen't go nuts= searching in trunk, thru luggage and under seats (that is if you even get sent to secondary inspection.)

A message to you all:
If you go to mexico to buy drugs the pharmacists get paid off by the US to drop a dime to customs. So they get the money for the drugs and the money from the US gvt. as well. SO here is what you do. If you go by yourself:
1. make sure you walk in the parmacy with a visor hat, sunglasses, maybe a wig (seriously), etc.
2. make sure you leave a different day than you tell the pharmacist. Tell him you are leaving today and really leave tomorrow or the next day
3. Make sure you wear different clothes and no hat/sunglasses when you go over border.

My boyfriend and I are going back in a few weeks. He's going to see a dentist. I will probably be visiting the veterinarian. We will be walking. I'll let you all know how it goes.
