I never travel with porn on my laptop, not even in the US. I do carry some porn on a usb drive, but for the most part it's at home on the desktop.

E$_manager · 05-11-2006, 09:26 AM

confiscate laptop - can they do that?

im sorry to hear that

GTS Mark · 05-11-2006, 09:43 AM

Ahhh man that sucks, I hate to say it but you're now in the "flagged list" which means everytime you try to cross the border into Canada again you will be detained and questioned because you were denied.

I was denied once about 5 years ago over a totally bullshit reason that they thought I was going down to the USA to work (I wasn't, I was going to visit my Dad who has a green card). I have no criminal record or anything like that.

Anyways long story short everytime I enter the USA I encounter problems and have to go speak to a customs official about why I was denied.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck dude

If you have porn on that notebook, you can pretty much kiss it goodbye. Good buddy of mine had the same thing happen and they eventually sent him a letter that said it was being kept as an "illegal import" and basically "fuck you".

As for all these idiots in here saying you wouldn't let them take this, or see that, or any of this nonsense. You'd all cry like little girls and do exactly what you're told. You have no rights at the boarder. No rights even to call a lawyer. So good luck with the cowboy shit.

To know that, you must have travelled ... ... I mean travel to ANOTHER country ... Most here didn't yet

Pete-KT · 05-11-2006, 10:07 AM

Never leave the porn visible, Might aswell call Dell and order a new laptop as yo u wont be seeing that one again bro

BlackCrayon · 05-11-2006, 10:11 AM

i'd try to sue if they didn't give me back the laptop. they are impeding
your legal business. there should be recourse for that.

myself, i've been afraid to cross the boarder into the states since 911. before that there were no problems but you hear a lot of horror stories these days.

Doctor Dre · 05-11-2006, 10:14 AM

I've been putting most of my stuff on an external HD for a long time ... no problem in case of computer crash, and no problem with authorities.

its a bigger pain in the ass to get into canada then it us europe.. fuck them

WarChild · 05-11-2006, 10:25 AM

Yes everyone, Canadian boarder guards are simply nazi warlords that hassle the poor American tourists.

On the flip side, American guards are all princes who lay down rose pedals as a gesture of good faith and welcome Canadians with open arms.

Silly post.... What does one have to do with the other?

All boarder guards from all countries can be dicks, and sometimes that is their job. What's with the US bashing? Some kind of knee-jerk response? I've heard and seen nightmares crossing borders all over the world.

You don't have to spend all that energy and focus hating the US all the time, do you? It must get tiring after a while.

The point of my post, was exactly what you said: There's dicks working as customs agents in every country. It was directed at the American idiots who were making snide comments like "land of the free" etc, etc, implying that Canadian board guards were somehow worse than their own.

One thing many Americans, like yourself, do seem to do a lot is jump to unfounded conclusions. What are you talking about all that energy and focus hating on the US all the time? Show me just one post where I'm hating on the US. My fucking Mother is American, I spend more time defending America than anything else yet in your mind I'm spending all this energy somehow hating on your precious homeland. Get a clue.

Yep you hit that pretty much right on, once you're in THEIR world you're fucked.

I don't think that unfounded conclusions are in any way are a symptom of Americans per se.... It can be pretty universal.

For example, regarding what you just wrote, a criticism of Canadian border guards, does not in and of itself, imply anything regarding US border guards.

Also, I think that MY reaction was based on the number of people on this board that seem to spend so much time focusing on America being wrong about everything, and never saying anything bad about any other country.

I was simply reacting to that very common affliction on this board. I was mistaken to include you in that. Sorry.

Don't get me wrong, Canada fucking sucks.

LOL ... I cracked up when I saw YOU getting labelled " american basher " ... I think I will frame that for future laughs ....

Back on topic, the customs will do what they call a " determination" which is basically deciding if the content on the hard drive is obscene ( Canada Customs standards include as obscene, among other things, anal sex ... and undue exploitation of sexual behavior.).

Once the decision is rendered, you have the right to appeal ( don't loose your time, unless you are a Don Quichotte ) or to surrender the offending media.

I would say, in this case, that that media is solely the hard drive ... If you play your cards right, they could just erase the drive ( format:c ). Otherwise, you could point out that they can take out the hard drive, giving you back the unit...

Don't try to bully them ... play the poor innocent idiot that didn't know and will not do it again....

Good luck.
