Hey Canadians:
I just heard about two Canadian friends of a friend who were driving into the US
the border agents demanded they unlock their phones; the agents searched the phones, found anti-Trump stuff on one ...
... then confiscated that phone and neither person was allowed into the US
These folks weren't activists or anything -- the search doesn't appear to have been triggered by that
so, govern yourselves accordingly
It's awkward when such triggering stories don't come with names or any other specifics.
@RoyBrander @clive US Jurisprudence has established for over half a century that the Right to No Unreasonable Search and Seizure enshrined in the 4th Amendment simply doesn't apply at the Border.
This sort of story is an old one, but it's unfortunately about to ramp up regularly.
@foxxtrot @RoyBrander @clive More importantly, BP doesn't require any reason to deny entry; so posts condemning the president are fair game. I won't be crossing that border again until he's gone...
@foxxtrot @RoyBrander @clive
Or for within 100 miles of any US border.
