"I walked over to Canada on a Saturday night around quarter to nine to get a pizza," Buzz Roy explained. Roy lives and works in Derby Line. He walked down Church Street to the nearest pizza shop, which happens to be in Canada, and said that to his surprise he was stopped by state police and told that crossing on Church Street is illegal.Yeah, I guess if you've lived in a border town, you'll have to start adjusting your life around our laws.
Derby Line is right on the border, and I counted 3 streets that cross into and out of Canada (on Google Maps), but I guess there's only one approved crossing point. And I'm sure that this action was a simple matter of being in the states, and walking catty-corner to the pizza shop whih just happens to be in Canada.
It'd be nice if the constabulary was comprised of people who want to protect the public, rather than just arrest those who violate the rule of the day. It's rather interesting that when questioned (as in this case), the authoritahs don't want to speak about it.
