“A recent increase in border patrol along side streets dividing Derby Line, Vt., and Stanstead, Canada, are causing confusion and animosity between locals and border patrol agents. The situation came to a head recently when a local man was arrested while walking down a street he said that he has walked down for years without a problem. ‘I walked over to Canada on a Saturday night around quarter to nine to get a pizza,’ Buzz Roy explained. Roy lives and works in Derby Line. He walked down Church Street to the nearest pizza shop, which happens to be in Canada, and said that to his surprise he was stopped by state police and told that crossing on Church Street is illegal. … Fed up by what he perceived as hostility from the officer, Roy walked down the street, crossing the border a second time. And then a third.” [editor’s note: The politicians and their enforcers take those imaginary lines on the ground and associated superstitions VERY seriously - TLK] (03/15/10) Link: http://www.wptz.com/news/22826310/detail.html Filed under: RRND News and Twitter-Worthy | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
