Something very fishy about this story. US Border patrol does not usually intercept people or vehicles attempting to leave by crossing the border. If you look at all of the crossings, the lanes leaving the US go straight to Mexico and Canada customs booths, no stops for US customs unless your entering

Before 9/11 US Border Patrol NEVER attempted to stop people or vehicles leaving the US. Since 9/11 they do stop individuals or groups trying to leave, don't ask me why.

Fishy or just crap reporting. Picture captions state they were crossing into Hemmingford. The US side is Mooers NY, not Champlain.

I'm guessing the taxi driver stopped to check and make sure he could do a u-turn and get back ok without crossing into Canada.

That would be the only way the USBP would start asking questions.
