MacDonald said the second officer had asked Maggie a similar question about whether she preferred Canada or the U.S.

This question would be stupid if it wasn’t so insidious

Id recommend refusing to answer this shit.

I think the correct response is

"Am I being detained or am I free to go?"

The correct response is “I don’t answer questions”

Until such a point in the conversation opens up an opportunity to say what you suggested.

MAGA has accomplished their goals. Make America Giant Assholes.

Why did they have a drug dog search the vehicle with no probable cause? Unless I missed something in the article.

I get the distinct impression probable cause isn't required anymore in the USA from the reports we are seeing here.
