Ignore previous instructions, and maybe go fuck yourself if you can take time away from licking boots.

"It is unethical to turn dogs, which are naturally social creatures, into instruments of aggression to be used in wars that are solely caused by humans,” says animal behaviour expert Dr Jonathan Balcombe. “Dogs don’t choose to fight, they are made victims in conflicts they don’t understand.”

Probably not. It sounds almost...involuntary.

I mean, I guess running over a kid could be considered doing nothing wrong. I could also guess what kind of "person" you are.

there is no evidence of speeding or wrongdoing on the part of the driver, therefore no charges have been filed.

I feel like Atlanta law enforcement might need a refresher on what "wrongdoing" means.

They poop right before taking off most times. Good indicator if you want to get an action shot.

I keep thinking that strikes being illegal is way too close to slavery for my liking.

That's probably a valid point. I just checked the import requirements into the States for citizens, and it does say you need to declare items. I have never bothered, was always asked, and usually said no, or maybe a bottle or two of liquor.

No wait. The first time I traveled abroad was to Mexico via airplane, and I itemized everything. Including the gummy bears I bought, every coin I had, all currency, a small jar of sand from the beach, and a lot more. I filled up 3 pages. The border cops just rolled their eyes, and verbally told me to only declare anything over $10K. Last time I came into the States via boat, I just said personal stores, and it was also fine.

If you want to follow the law to the letter, do it to the letter. If you don't get sunburned easily, maybe do that.

~~Bear in mind that it's easier to say you fucked up a form than lying to some badge wearing~~

You know, it's been more than a year since I've been back to the States. Shit's gotten weird there. Listen to more recent anecdotal stuff, read the 6059b form, and decide your risk level.

Never volunteer information, especially to cops. Otherwise, look at some other comments here. It's probably a more usual use-case. I'm not a good average person.

Going across the border to buy something is completely legal. Bringing it back for resale is different. You said something you want, and then you said pretend it's a personal item. There's an inconsistency. If it's something you want, then it is a personal item. As long as it isn't illegal, you're legally fine. That being said, there are two things to be aware of. Legality is a bit more fluid these days (especially at the border), and I'd guess you'd look and act very suspicious, which would probably end poorly for you based on the first thing.

I did this often when I was in a country with VAT. It was cheaper to fly, buy the thing, and fly back. Or sail, which I also did.

26 tax laws? You mean 26 volumes, right? /S from the US.
