Permanently flagged by customs?
    #5962750 - 08/14/06 01:26 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

So here's the deal... I went to San Diego a couple weeks ago and had a run in with American Customs with regards to crossing the border with video equipment that I didn't declare as business assets (which I had no problem with doing a few months prior) and I didn't even know I had to declare it... but I digress. So I ended up sending the equipment back in a taxi and renting equipment while i was down there.

Now last friday I drove down to detroit to see Tom Waits (fucking amazing) and got flagged by customs. There were 2 other people in the car and we got flagged for a search. Fine, I have nothing to hide, I park, have to leave my keys and all and go into the security clearance office area, deal with customs some more they ask if im bringing video equipment in and what I do for a living etc. So after 20 minutes of waiting around theres and my friend having his fingerprints taken we leave with no problems.

So I guess I am now flagged as an international camera equipment smuggler... what a pain in the ass. It almost makes me want to never enter the US again, but of course I will and will have to deal with this shit every time...

Anyone else get shit from customs every time they cross?

(btw I dont look like a dirty hippy or terrorist)

Fuck Customs. Bunch of pricks.

Maybe you can call one of the main offices and see if they can do anything to stop the bullshit.

it wouldn't surprise me, once you get flagged you're flagged for awhile.

not sure how long but I assume it's a long time.

I usually get searched going through airports because most of the time I fly on standby, I'm not sure if I get searched because of who I am or because of my ticket, but it happens every time regardless.

Yea it was incredible, although I'll never go to a show in Detroit again. Way too much hassle.

I didn't get fingerprinted but I think my friend got fingerprinted because he didn't have his birth certificate, just his drivers license/sin number/health card... as if that wasn't enough to prove hes canadian...

I had a feeling we'd get searched because we're going to a concert but it was definetly related to my last entrance into the US, based on the questions they were asking me.

Man that sucks. I hate dealing with customs, they make you feel like a criminal for no reason.
