Greg Abbott's Texas/Mexico truck inspection policy

mercredi 20 avril 2022 à 02:05

Truck drivers protested again, this time against Greg Abbott's policy of searching all trucks entering Texas from Mexico, and made him cancel it.

The search was for smuggling, of goods or people. In principle, there is nothing wrong with checking for that, but the cost was disastrous.

An idea occurs to me. Every truck that crosses the border could be required to carry inside cameras and lamps that could be used at the border to inspect the inside of the cargo compartment quickly.

Since there are supposed to be people inside, this system would surveil any people unjustly.
