Re: Friday afternoon Google Maps investigation
There have been a string of stories of people arrested for fetching a ball or getting a takeaway pizza - the border runs through some towns and farms.
Don't even have to cross the border to get pulled over. In high school (late 70's) had gone to a party in a border town, and the rode the house party was on was also on a road that crossed over from Canada, so you had to drive past the US Customs station (about 3-4 blocks into town. Not recognizing our car as belonging to a local, the Customs police pulled us over. Of course, all it took was to say who's house we were at, and they knew we hadn't done a border crossing.
Doubt that could be done now (they've probably relocated the Customs office by now anyway).
While it IS accessible by road, Alburg VT is only reachable by bridge (or boat) from within the USA, but readily accessible by land from Canada.
