Are we supposed to feel sorry for this guy? Maybe some sort of outrage on his behalf? I can't.
The headline is certainly a piece o' work.

I agree. The headline is way off base.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for this guy? Maybe some sort of outrage on his behalf? I can't. The nearest manned checkpoint was 200 miles away. Are you suggesting that this guy should have driven an extra 800 miles round trip to comply with regs in attending church?
Especially given the extremely eager level of enforcement?
If there were guards who would actually try to stop people crossing, that might arguably serve some reasonable national interest. But if someone is entering with nefarious intent, merely having a camera that shows that they did so is going to be absolutely useless for actually catching them. And if the government isn't going to go after bad people, why go after anyone?
