    I was thinking he should have asked a lawyer prior to trying to go through customs. ie: a week ago.

      The cops were trying to search him under duress, while denied legal representation, without being read his Miranda rights, and without a warrant. Why are you trying to blame the victim of this bullshit?

      He’s a US Citizen. He should be able to re-enter his own country without being subjected to this bullshit.

        Some are saying cops, others are saying border agents. You consent to be searched if you cross the border in either direction. He should have consulted a lawyer prior so he knew what his rights were.
