Well... we finally did it. 3 friends and I move out to Niagara Falls Canada from a rather bad college (I'm not naming it) for a little breather.
As we get to the border patrol (about 1 am EST), we're stuck in a long line. About 3 vans and a few cars are ahead of us. We're following all of them and everything is just routine until we reach the checkpoint window.
The conversation went something like this:
Guard: "Did you not like my stop signs or something?"
Friend1: "Sorry?"
Guard: "My stopsigns you punk. There's 3 of them back there and you zoomed through all of them." *Note* We were at stand-still traffic the entire bridge + road... *End Note*
Friend1: "I'm sorry I must've missed them."
Guard: "Pull into security." *Another Note* Not one of perhaps the 10 vehicles we saw in front of us had been pulled into the security office.
As we enter the security office we're greeted with a rather weird sight. There are perhaps 20-30 others in there with us along with 6-8 security officers. There are 6 caucasian people sitting in chairs to the left while there are at least 20 people of mixed races (black, hispanic, asian, all were present) in a long line to the right. My caucasian friend (friend1) is sent to the left while my hispanic friend and I are asked to move to the right. Another conversation between a guard and my caucasian friend ensues:
Guard: "Do you have any drugs in your car?"
Friend1: "No."
Guard: "This is your last chance, if there are any in the search you're in big trouble but if you tell us now we'll just confiscate it and turn you around without consequences."
Friend1: "You can search the car if you like. There's nothing there."
Guard: "alright..."
Meanwhile, a conversation between three guards and my hispanic friend ensues:
Guard1: "Are there any drugs in your vehicle?"
Guard2: "Yeah, tell us now or there's trouble later."
Friend2: "No there's nothing in the car."
Guard1: "You're lying. You reak of weed."
Guard2&3: *Nod* "yeah you do."
Friend2: "Its menthol cigarettes. We smoked about 30 min ago."
Guard1: "You and you, give us your IDs for checking."
*My friend and I hand them our IDs*
*We see them take them into the back room to a Xerox machine with Xerox clearly labeled on the side so they can copy the info for whatever purposes.*
Guard1: *talking to Friend2* "Your liscense is covered in cocaine."
Friend2: "No its not, I haven't ever touched coke."
Guard2: "That's a lie, we heard the beeps out here so don't tell us you didn't either."
Guard1: "And you" *talking to me* "Your liscense has tons of traces of Ecstacy on it."
Me: "I've never touched ecstacy before."
Guard3: "You guys lookin for trouble? Because this lying is going to land you deep in it."
Me: "Your Xerox machine can detect cocaine and ecstacy?"
Guard1: *Gets out a night-stick* "You calling us liars?"
Me: "Yes I am, there's no way your accusations hold any truth."
Guard3: "Get over here. Strip down to your boxers for searching."
*My friend and I comply. The whole time my caucasian friend is just waiting, no extra checks or anything.*
Guard2: "You're shivering. Clear signs you've been doing lots of drugs." *Note* Its 21 degrees outside and they don't have the heat on!!*End Note*
Me: "I'm just cold, I'm almost naked and its snowing outside and 4 sets of doors are open."
Guard3: "Bulls***. We're going to search the vehicle."
Friend2: "Fine, go ahead."
Me: "You won't find anything there."
*Guard 2 slams me to the ground with a night-stick and holds me there*
Guard 2: "Don't resist or try anything buddy. Guard 4 and 5, go search their car."
*Friend1 looks out at them and spots a bag of marijuana in one guard's hand*
Friend1: "Hey hey what's that guy doing with that bag in his hand?"
*Guards 2 and 3 look nervous and call the other two inside."
*Guard 4 hides the bag quickly in his pocket before entering*
*Guard 2 lets me go and hands me my things*
Guard1: "You guys can go. Get out of here and don't let us find you in here again or you guys are F***ed."
*We leave*
Now is it just me or should we have pressed charges for something like this?

I think you should submit it to the "I make up bullsh[Aliceblue][/Aliceblue]it on internet forums" police.
So these guards kept a corral of minorities, lied about testing your licenses for cocaine and ecstasy, made you strip, attacked you with a night stick...
...but got scared when you spotted them planting evidence rather than call you a liar and throw you in the hole?
You need to call 60 Minutes now and report this miscarriage of justice!

Reminds me of the time me and a friend crossed into Canada from Detroit. Yup, their stupid stop signs are like 1 foot off the ground. The guard asked my friend who was driving "they don't got stop signs in Illinois, eh?" We were kinda buzzed and I might've muttered "how's he know were from Illinois?" (being orignally from Michiigan we only had the license plates on the the back of the cars -- chalk up a semi victory to the Michigian militia or something). Then of course, the guard asked. "You guys been drinking?" I simply said,
"We're going to the Casino."
Worked just as well as if I'd said, "these aren't the droids you're looking for."

Actually I've been looking around. Still trying to get certain finer points worked out (working up a strong financial base to live on). Suggestions?

I don't understand why they would stop just because you saw them attempting to plant the cheeba in your car. You were going to deny it regardless and, you were probably going to claim tampering anyways.

It's because he couldn't think of a cool get away story for the ending.
That's just lazy.

1) Get a job at the casino
2) Stay away from the Bridge St. hookers
3) There are 3 clean restaurants in the city. Mick & Angelos, Red Lobster (both on the Lane) and Somebody's @ Kalar & Thorold stone
4) We have a community college and a University. In Canada there is a difference between College and University. The choice should be simple, you probably won't get into either so get that application into the casino.
5) If you don't get into the casino, I'm looking to hire some cheap Mexican labour. How are you with lawns, hedges and pools?
6) Don't buy anything from the Clifton Hill area unless you are complete idiot. There is a Giant Tiger not too far off which is where the rip-off stores buy their crap from.
7) Watch out for the bikers, they'll cut joo.

Oh yes, we have servants quarters for staff, so if you work for Mexican wages, your room-and-board is covered.
Nah, he might actually be this stupid.

That's a hardcore RP toon right there. Such descriptive and non-generic traits for a toon. That back story just kicks *** I can relate to his character and conflicts. It's as if he brings me into his world with his uber story telling skills.

Never had a problem going into or out of Canadia on the numerous trips I've made, both day and night. Sadly I've also never seen a ninja in the great white north, but that might just be because they didn't want to be seen or were busy cutting off heads.
