They could not care less about a lawyer. Federal agents have their own little fiefdoms and are essentially untouchable unless you can prove they did something both illegal and politically incorrect. Thus if you are a white male, nothing they can do to you is politically incorrect, so best move is to say as little as possible and for God's sake make sure you are totally clean before you get to the border.Dyepaintball12 said:Well I'm pretty sure you lose any search and seizure rights at the border because they need to have authority to check everything you have for drugs. I would imagine even saying the word "lawyer" would make them very upset, something I would not want to do.
I actually went back to Windsor two days later, the tunnel this time, and again was sent to immigration. The tunnel is much easier and they just have you stand in front of your car, spend about 1 minute searching your car, and then you can leave. At the bridge on both the US and Canadian side they question you and then you have to go into the building and talk to an agent.
I learned never to bring lots of money with me because they really don't like a young kid who is essentially unemployed having that much money.
There are places where they will do things like vacuum the car's carpet looking for marijuana ash, and if they find any you will lose your car and your money. Forfeiture. Even if you have never used anything in your car, you might be better off renting a car for trips to Canada because such evidence would never hold up in a court if taken from a rental car. If you play in Canada a lot it's probably worth it to open a bank account there and leave at least a playing stake in it so you are carrying nothing across the border.
