So I live and work in Canada obviously, I am a Canadian citizen and proud of it... however I also have my US citizenship and also proud of that...
Now, in order to keep your citizenship which you received after having a green card, you need to LIVE in US and only be out of the country 2 months of the year... I never knew this... I also didn’t know that in order to cross the border from Canada into US, you need to have your US paper on you and show them, if you don’t, it could be a federal charge....
So... the idiocy began last Friday when I went to Niagara falls for the weekend... my causin asks me to go buy booze, and tells me to go to the duty free. I ask if we can shop there since we are not leaving Canada, he says he does it ALL the time. So I drive into the duty free, go in, get my stuff, and low and behold I don’t see any exit except one... as I get on to the exit lane I realize the lane ONLY leads to the US border... now I have no ID on me except for my driver’s license, same with my GF... so we get to the border and I explained that I made a stupid mistake and never meant to get to the border, they say it don’t matter I need a visa to enter and turn around... so I say “ I’m a US resident, can I just go in and get back into Canada...” he says ok, where are your papers like SIN and Citizenship card.. I say I don’t carry it with me. He looks at me like he just found a bomb on me... he is like that is a federal crime, pull over. So they confiscate my card ( licence )and me and my gf are under detention and sent to the holding area to be interviewed...
5.5 hours later I get called in, I am asked when was the last time you were in US, I say 4 years ago... the guy says they won’t file a federal charge against me if I agree to give up my permanent residency and turn in all my papers the next chance I get... basically telling me to GTFO... loll I was fucknig shocked...
Anyway after 2 hours of pleading and a 500 dollar fee to file a court application, I get a court date to go see a judge and ask to keep my status and that I promise to move back into US and live there. The only reason I was given the chance to keep it was because I was still attending school up to last year so I got some sort of special circumstance. Now I need to make my mind up as to where I want to live permanently, it is not easy. Currently thinking of Las vegas police, orange county Sherrifs (my residency in US) and also LAPD.
Anyway, I avoided being sent to Guantanamo bay... hahahaahah... I still love US though, I even saluted the picture of bush on my way out... all these new fucking rules after 9/11 fucking suck ass.

By the way what kind of booze did you buy? Maybe they should've sent to to g-bay for poor choice in alcohol. And I'd recommend la or ny. vegas is meh if you wanna work there.

Have you considered the Reno police department?
[/nonsense]
So going to the duty free shop ended up costing $500,- and now you need to move to the US?! Damn, that is pretty fucked up...

Something special about being a cop? Because I know that I have to work my ass off just to get by, so I don’t think it is that special or crazy...
Any no, badge courtesy wouldn't get me anywhere when department of homeland security is involved. And i also don't like doing that stuff anyway...
