Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

When passing any United States border, turn off your phone. Put it away. An agent can grab an unlocked phone in your hand. Cellebrite can crack most iPhones and Android devices, but the encryption from the off state is much harder to crack.

Pro-tip - Border patrol has authority within 100 miles of the border.

They also consider "the coastline" to be the border.

Live or work within 100 miles of the coastline or the border? 2 out of 3 people do.

It also includes 100 miles of international airports I believe.

This country is so fucked. But I guess it's up to all of us to unfuck it together.

[–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Then we’re doomed. lol

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't be so sure of that, I've heard it said the do and they don't but I don't think I've ever seen concrete proof it does.

As someone who lives within 100 miles of the border on the Canada side. What does that mean exactly?

[–] Hazzia 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

US border patrol finna bust down your door and send you back to checks notes Canada

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Would depend on what the Canadian border patrol policy is. :)

It means you can be stopped and searched as a potential smuggler, have property seized, without a warrant. This only applies to Border Patrol, so your protection is they probably don’t patrol your neighborhood

[–] gerbler@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can't see US border patrol trying to exercise this in downtown Vancouver lol

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, if we’re going to bomb Mexico, I suppose this is would be in character, depending on who wins in November
