So if anyone has read my previous article about the CBSA using Wikipedia as justification to search my stuff… you know I don’t get along well with them.
Tonight’s hotshot Mr 11112 (who had a hot blonde supervisor), thought that because I didn’t answer his questions I was an idiot, he called me an idiot 12 times throughout tonights ordeal. He also had the gull to say that I look like the kind of person who would look at child porn.
Here is the beautiful thing, I didn’t give them the passwords to any of my computers except one. They were threatening to send it off to Ottawa and have their IT security professionals take it apart, however, I just recently 0′ed out the hard drive so it was a fresh install of just Ubuntu to use as a server… so they spent 30 minutes trying to convince me to just give them the password so they didn’t have to take it. Finally I “gave in” and let them have the password… they didn’t find anything and they gave it back.
Of course, I take my privacy seriously and the reason I didn’t give the passwords to my cell phone or other devices is to protect those who communicate with me. Their emails are private and I don’t want anyone to have access to their emails I would gladly give up my computer before that happened.
lol now here is the kicker… the officer kept trying to get me to slip up and say that I got my MacBook Air as a gift while in the states. “It looks too new”, I told him if he had proof he could charge me with a crime… otherwise his opinion on the state of my laptop didn’t matter. He let it go.
If I did get my laptop in the United States they will never be able to do anything about it, because they will never have any proof.
Here is a recap of tonights events:
I say that I follow my charter rights, and I say that is my supreme rule. They say that their mandate supersedes those rights… something this officer tried to repeat over and over. In the end, I still never answered any of their questions and I went on my way.. and it didn’t bother me in the slightest.
You can’t compel someone to speak, even if you DO have the legal right to do so… I can always just keep my mouth shut, and I always will. Except they asked me questions “after I was free to leave” like do you participate in occupy which I answered that I had been in the camp, and I was also asked if I was in the Olympics, which I responded that I wasn’t fast enough for the olympics. :)
I am not angry at the CBSA officer who was being a dick to me all night, I feel sorry for him… any person who has to stoop so low to put down another person for laughs clearly has their own problems, and I hope they turn out well for him.
Tonight was a victory for freedoms and a loss for the CBSA… so I am going to take my politician hat off for the night and taunt the shit of them.
