"Tell that to recipients of DUIs who try to get across the border anyway, get stopped for search and get sent right back home."
OUR border people are stoping them ? Why?
They're not being PROFILED, they just sometimes get caught in random searches. Your driver's license is run and your record, if any, comes up. You're turned back. I've never had that problem (I have no criminal record) but know a few people who have. One of them owns a campground in Ontario. He couldn't get across the border to see how his own cabins were doing (his parents take care of them in the summer, great people, I know them very well) The fact that on several occasions he was noticeably drunk when he tried to get across MIGHT have influenced agents to check him out at first. His belligerence, persistence and record made him rather well known along the border after a while.
