police post that SEARCHES incoming cars, with the intent of confiscating fruits and veggie
That is simply not true. As you drive through they ask you if you have any fruits, etc. That’s about it. A simple no and you’re on your way. I’ve been through it many, many times.
The last time I entered Kali, which, I will grant, was in 1976, I was driving a Triumph Spitfire, with Illinois plates, and there was barely enough room for an overnight bag. They had me open the trunk, regardless. They seemed somewhat put out that I wasn't smuggling cabbages, or whatever they were hunting for.
