Because they had no cause to search my car in the first place we had all our ID we had a travell plan plus they found the lighter AFTER they started searching the car, it wasn't even on me it was under my passenger seat probably with a million other things I didn't even know were in my car.
The funny thing is they go through all this trouble and time to search my car, find this lighter and then didn't even search me or anyone I was with. It just doens't make sense, maybe they were bored.
Then they found it was their duty to tell me why marijuana is bad. If it wasn't the American Boarder guards I would have told them to f@ck off. I don't care what they think about weed, I'm from BC people smoke weed like they breathe air. Weed should be the least of their problems when it comes to drugs coming and going.
Personally I don't care that is just something I plan for when crossing the boarders because they are complete jokes. They all want to be the hero that captures the bad coming into their country, but when they are busy harrassing a mid 20's guy with a lighter that had some risidue there was probably a semi truck full of it going through somewhere else.
edit: Sorry I didn't mean to derail this thread, I was just trying to share my expereince of boarder officials.
