What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
In May of 2008, myself and another person accidentally crossed the border to Windsor, Canada through Detroit, MI. We didn't have proper ID so we were searched and were caught with drug paraphernalia and a very small amount of a Schedule 1 substance. We were told that if we ratted out our dealer we would be let go with a $400 fine. The $400 fine was necessary for me to get my car back. We payed the fine and were let go. We had to return to the US through US customs where we still did not have proper ID. We explained the situation and they very badly wanted to find us guilty of carrying more drugs. They brought out drug dogs and my car was searched again but we didn't have anything, nothing was found. 6 months later, I traveled overseas to London. On the flight there, there were no problems. On the way back, I came through customs in Detroit. They must have me in their customs record because they said there was a problem with my passport, searched all of my family's bags and asked me about the situation while my family was in earshot. No drugs were found in anyone's luggage and we were let go. I'm traveling overseas to London again tomorrow. It's been 1 year and 3ish months since the original incident. I will be leaving through the Detroit airport and I'm not sure if my passport will trigger this record and if I will be questioned on the way there. This seems to be a really unique situation so it's almost impossible to predict what will come. My main concern is making sure my family doesn't become aware and they will be traveling with me again.
