I went over to Windsor July 1st and I didn't need my birth certificate...none of my five friends brought them either. I used to live in Michigan so I used to go over and see my family quite a bit. The only time I've ever had to have my birth certificate with me was if I was with my father going to a family reunion or if I was on a school trip. Other than that I was always told that a valid drivers license was sufficient.

Thank you so much! The only reason why I brought my birth certificate is cuz my mom told me to. I have NEVER been asked for my birth certificate, and yes they (customs people) have told me before that a license is O.K. So pardon me if I was judging this situation based on other customs people not doin their job correctly, or whatever.

Bamboozled... way to make this a racist issue. It is not. Funny how one of my Middle Eastern sisters said the same thing (what I said in my first post) about us being stopped.

Side Note: No, it wasn't just me. This lady is horrible. As soon as I told my mom "this customs lady was so rude", she described exactly what she looked like, and I knew we were talking about the same person. Yes, it's good that she is doin her job, but there's no reason for her to be a bitch to us before she even asked our citizenship.

Another note: My friend who was driving didn't even drink last nite, and the back window wasn't down yet. So she couldn't have smelled alcohol. Nice generalization tho.
