Canadian woman allegedly forced into a cavity search by US Border officers

[Elim Garak]

“I just kept saying to them, ‘How could you do this to a woman? This is not right.”

Was she implying that doing that to a man would be right?

Of course. Why wouldn't it be?
I mean, us men are easy targets for this kind of abuse, am I right?

[RickJamesLich]

Part of me wonders if this lady is grossly exagerrating what took place but if she is telling the truth the cops definitely deserve to be punished, hopefully the investigation can clear this up. That being said, I wouldn't really consider this "gang rape", although her allegations still sound very unpleasant.

[Noradin]

So.... She wasn't gangraped at all, but rather unlawfully searched


Misleading title is misleading

What was described in this article counts as rape.

[Sykol]

When I read she got triggered into dumbfoundery by the word "Indian," I knew that her definition of rape probably meant not being allowed to cross the border because that infringes on her bodily autonomy. I really wasn't that far off.

Whatever are you talking about? Your posts makes no sense whatsoever.
Please clarify. (If you can.)

Gill, who has no criminal record, was questioned on why she was travelling to Elmo by the officer, who told her it was, "Indian country."

Startled by the comment, Gill was told she'd have to go into secondary questioning.

Makes it sound like she SJWed her way into a cavity search.

[Queen of Hamsters]

The woman didn't say she was raped, and obviously what happened was wrong.
Probably not the first time, certainly won't be the last. Hopefully the 3 "men" doing this to her can be traced and brought to justice.

Yeah.

strip search is not the same as a Rape.

[Queen of Hamsters]

She was probably referring losely to herself and appealing to their empathy (which they lacked), not busy thinking about being PC...

[Adam Jensen]

well. the official definition of marriage has been brutally destroyed. why not rape next?

Melodramatic much?

[glo]

Any credible source? No? Then I don't give a shit.

She probably has massive issues with her story if not a SINGLE other news outlet is picking up on it.

Where's the evidence? Why didn't she go to the hospital? Why isn't she pressing charges? It's all hearsay.

You got shit for rights at a border crossing. They can even detain you, drill your vehicle full of holes.

As a Canadian that has traveled to the U.S many times, I can't stress this enough.

You do whatever the border guards tell you. You don't ever question them.

Last year visiting family in the States I was randomly selected, and mistakenly thought the guard was indicating the parking spot in front of him (he was behind the concrete barrier) instead of the one to the immediate left. After parking, he told me he did not "appreciate being made to fear for his life" and showed me his gun (in its holster), implying (I think) that he had considered drawing his gun and shooting at me as I approached the barrier at 5km/h.

You do whatever they tell you. And you never question them.

There was also that Liveleak recording in the news a few years back too: http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/291602

"As soon as you pulled away when my officers tried to grab you: That's assault"


A Canadian gets irate with an officer and starts to mock them. Both he and his wife are threatened with jail time- which is usually an empty threat according to Canadian lawyers:

It makes the news occasionally- including major ones. CBC reported about a few of them here:

It happens. It just doesn't go anywhere: http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/2015/06/03/body-search/28398849/

When we hire out Customs and Border Protection personnel, we aren't hiring our best. They're allowing in drugs, committing crimes. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

Yeah, that is what can happen when they are underfunded,undermanned and unappreciated.

On this topic, investigated it and then if the evidence shows they did what the victim said, prosecute their asses.

[Dellis0991]

Please correct your title, its very misleading. But wow that was really messed up still, you would think that a female officer would be radioed to do the search.

[Sam the Wiser]

They did nothing wrong and were within their powers to do so.

[Forgettable]

I think that's her.

Who would want to cavity search THAT?

[Bapestar]

Who would want to cavity search THAT?

Probably you.

[Forgettable]

Probably you.

Wow, such bait. So troll. Amaze.

Your wit is astounding.

[Easo]

Even when by law cavity search has to be done by the same sex? And 45 minutes? Assuming, of course, this is true.
