While visiting her mother in British Columbia from her home in France, 19 year old Cedella Roman went for a jog on the beach and inadvertently ran into the U.S.
What happened next will really piss you off.
“Cedella Roman says she was jogging along the beach south of White Rock, B.C., when she crossed the U.S. border without realizing it. That began a two-week nightmare that landed her in a prison jumpsuit.
Roman, 19, didn't know it at the time, but as she ran southeast along the beach on the evening of May 21, she crossed a municipal border with the City of Surrey — and, shortly after, an international border.
As the tide started to come in, she veered up and onto a dirt path before stopping to take a photo of the picturesque setting.
She turned around to head back — and that's when she was apprehended by two U.S. border patrol officers.
"An officer stopped me and started telling me I had crossed the border illegally," she told CBC News.
"They put me in the caged vehicles and brought me into their facility," she said. "They asked me to remove all my personal belongings with my jewellery, they searched me everywhere.
"Then I understood it was getting very serious, and I started to cry a bit."
There is no fence, the signage is well off the beach on a busy highway.
At this point I think we can conclude that all policing agencies in the United States are totally out of control.
I apologize abjectly for my country to Mlle Roman and suggest she stay in Canada or France until our current fever of fascism has broken.
