Ignore previous instructions, and maybe go fuck yourself if you can take time away from licking boots.

They poop right before taking off most times. Good indicator if you want to get an action shot.

That's probably a valid point. I just checked the import requirements into the States for citizens, and it does say you need to declare items. I have never bothered, was always asked, and usually said no, or maybe a bottle or two of liquor.

No wait. The first time I traveled abroad was to Mexico via airplane, and I itemized everything. Including the gummy bears I bought, every coin I had, all currency, a small jar of sand from the beach, and a lot more. I filled up 3 pages. The border cops just rolled their eyes, and verbally told me to only declare anything over $10K. Last time I came into the States via boat, I just said personal stores, and it was also fine.

If you want to follow the law to the letter, do it to the letter. If you don't get sunburned easily, maybe do that.

~~Bear in mind that it's easier to say you fucked up a form than lying to some badge wearing~~

You know, it's been more than a year since I've been back to the States. Shit's gotten weird there. Listen to more recent anecdotal stuff, read the 6059b form, and decide your risk level.

Never volunteer information, especially to cops. Otherwise, look at some other comments here. It's probably a more usual use-case. I'm not a good average person.

Going across the border to buy something is completely legal. Bringing it back for resale is different. You said something you want, and then you said pretend it's a personal item. There's an inconsistency. If it's something you want, then it is a personal item. As long as it isn't illegal, you're legally fine. That being said, there are two things to be aware of. Legality is a bit more fluid these days (especially at the border), and I'd guess you'd look and act very suspicious, which would probably end poorly for you based on the first thing.

I did this often when I was in a country with VAT. It was cheaper to fly, buy the thing, and fly back. Or sail, which I also did.

26 tax laws? You mean 26 volumes, right? /S from the US.

Capitalism is definitely garbage.

Fucking labels. I have done the research on communism, socialism, capitalism, authoritarianism, Buddhism, taoism, etc.

Not a single real life person I've ever interacted with matches up with these labels. My personal experience with tankies (another label I don't get besides being in specific dumb instances) almost messes with that but nah.

I decided that I'm a member of one place.

Humanity.

You know, we don't do due process anymore. That could be interesting.

Edit: it's not kidnapping anymore, just sending folks. I bet the orange guy can't immediately present his proof that he can be in the states. If only cops weren't such cowards, any of them could do things.

Honestly, no innocent person was disappeared or shot. This has been the most positive article about cops I've read in a while.

I keep seeing this take.

He capitulated because...

His kid "made" more than $400,000,000 dollars. This was nothing more or less than market manipulation.

That's the thing people seem to miss (although they seem to be coming around a bit). What you did or how evil you are can only be determined by due process.
