“may commit acts which would be against the Criminal Code of Canada.” This is called “prior restraint” and is unconstitutional in the U.S. “...customs agent went through his luggage, his phone and laptop, and played a DVD of a speech he had given Wednesday. Also ILLEGAL! asked for details about the talk he was scheduled to give. Also ILLEGAL!
Yes, it's absolutely illegal here in the USA...but this happened in Canada. Prior restraint is absolutely legal in Canada. And customs there can ask what they feel like and go through your stuff.

I'm not saying it's right, but know the laws of where you're going. Constitutional freedoms DO NOT APPLY outside of the USA.

Ya ...I got that...

It WAS the POINT of my post!

Wonder how it is that Canada doesn’t afford those same basic protections?
