Friend of mine up on the border reported on her FB that she had been searched yet again by the BP. She would not allow them to have a dog crawl all over her brand new car. The BP agent said that he didn't need permission.
Is the 4th Amendment now null and void within so many miles of the border now? Anyone care to fill me in? I used to live there (Ogdensburg, NY) and go back to visit often. I DO NOT EVER consent to my vehicle being searched by the PD, but have not had the BP pull me over up there. I am not inclined to allow them a search either.
What's the story?
