My wife got arrested today

[rescuepenguin]

The day start out ok. prempitorystrike and her younger child came over to our house. We all got into our van and I got dropped off at Guildford Mall with the kids and my wife (BettaGirl) and prempitorystrike went to the states shopping.

Before I continue BettaGirl is 9 months pregnant.

At the border heading into the states the ladies were all of a sudden ordered to put their hands on the dash board. They asked for the keys to the van. The border crossing was closed, and the van was surrounded by border guards. Just like in the TV shows they heard "Driver get out of the vehicle, hands on your head and walk backwards". She was handcuffed and taken to a holding cell. prempitorystrike was arrested immediately after and also taken to a cell.

They were held while border guards were verifying whether or not they had got the right person. They searched our van in the mean time. After about 30 mins they were released

They were finally informed that someone with the same name and birth date as BettaGirl was wanted. The ladies were treated with respect the whole time, and received a big apology after the incident.

My heart goes out to BettaGirl and prempitorystrike, and especially the kids- how utterly terrifying.

I've been the subject of border hospitality; it's why I don't go back.

Must have been pretty traumatic at the time, but now they have an awesome story to tell. At least they didn't tear the van apart.

Storm,

The children were with me at Guildford mall. They didn't take any children with them. I would have loved to have seen their reaction if she went into labour at the time.

I got the 'royal treatment' from them a couple of weeks ago.
I was wearing the black vest I always wear with my HOG (Harley Owners Group) name tag.
After the automatic 30 min wait before interviewing.
They wanted to know what all the pins I had on my vest were and was I affiliated.

They need to take care of the terrorist<G>

I had a car accident where I was cut off twice by the same person. A cop showed up and did the same thing to me. I wasn't traumatized by the gun pointed at me and the orders, but I didn't appreciate it at all.

Guess they read there was some sorta fishy person trying to cross into the US.. Can't be too careful
