I was watching an episode of Bordar Wars earlier. The BP busted a female US citizen with 50 lbs of pot in her car as she crossed from Mexico into the USA. It was an effort on the BP part as they almost had to strip the entire car to get all of the, maybe 50, half kilo packets hidden thru-out the car. Very “professional” hiding job on someone’s part. The agents were happy.
At the end of that particular segment, a blurb popped up at the bottom of the TV screen noting the suspect was later released.
WTH? Please, please President Trump...FIX THIS.
Generally at the southern border the federal prosecutor will not prosecute you for anything under 200 pounds of pot. They can seize the vehicle and the pot but that is about it. They attempt to turn the suspects of to the state and locals but they are sick of picking up the costs of prosecution and incarceration for the feds.
Drives the agents nuts.
