Trouble with California
Ag. Check points;we all know understand and tolerate them,never a problem.
Couple of weeks ago we were heade to redwood. National forest from Grants Pas Oregon.
Ag check ahead, ok I fall into line with everyone else,multiple lanes,cars trucks,other rv,s. Everyone pauses about thirty seconds and moves on. Normal right?
My turn, she looks at my NY tags,Have you any fresh fruits or vegetables on board?"
"No we Don,t"
"w
When was the last time this vehicle was in Ny?"
"About 8or9weeks ago."
She then grabs a flashlight and inspection miror and gives the undercarriage of both truck and trailer a thorough going over. She then does a second tour inspecting the roof area.
I was quite surprised,but oh well not an imposition.
"I would like to inspect the interior"
"Not with out a warrant"
"Sir Weare trying to protect our agricultural resources"
"I understand that,bbut you are not entering my trailer without a warrant !"
She gave me a look that could kill,and entered her both and made a phone call.
Minute is so later she comes out,shoves a handful of invasive critter literature into my hand and said,"move on"
Has anyone else been subjected to such nonsense,or did this inspector just have a bone for New Yorkers?
