    Red face California Fruit Nazi Checkpoints

    We're all familiar with border patrol checkpoints when entering the United States from either Canada or Mexico, but did you know that one state actually has checkpoints at the borders even when driving in from other states?

    Yup. It's Commiefornia.

    Where you actually have to pull over on the freeway (backing up traffic for miles) just so they can inspect your vehicle ostensibly to make sure you're not bringing in any "invasive fruit" that might be introducing invasive pests or species into the Promised Land.

    Well, one dude apparently had enough:



    Now that's what I call civil disobedience.

    "That tyranny has all the vices both of democracy and oligarchy is evident. As of oligarchy so of tyranny, the end is wealth; (for by wealth only can the tyrant maintain either his guard or his luxury). Both mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms." -- Aristotle, Book V, 350 B.C.E

    It's about time, some thing has to be done to stop the fruit fly invasion, Now if we can just figure out how to keep their insanity from invading the rest of the country....

    I think CA should become a fruit fly sanctuary state and close down these checkpoints and get rid of all those hateful fruit fly police.

    Implement open borders for all those fruit flies seeking sanctuary from other states.

    If I were a fruit fly, I'd be really pissed off about this.

    Where are the Dims when you need them?

    Not only that, but this is pure, unadulterated, racism. They're letting house flies, deer flies, horse flies, and blue bottle flies in, but not fruit flies. That's unAmerican and against the Constitution. No one should be discriminated against just because of who they were born to. It's not the fruit fly's fault they were born a fruit fly.

    And the Dims say they are tolerant....they might be tolerant of other species, but they are nothing more than selective bigots.

    I fully understand why California is concerned about invasive fruit... they are full to the brim with fruits and nuts.

    Yeah, I had the misfortune of being stationed in that schitthole back in the early 80s and had to stop at the checkpoint when coming back from Reno.

    What are they going to do when they figure out that fruit flies can FLY across the border? Put checkpoints at airports to try and stem the flow......?

    As devastating as Fruit Flies could be to California's agricultural, and considering that a bag of infested fruit in someone's car could travel several hundred miles in a few hours,...but some fly flying across the border might only go a few miles before it dies,...I would put my resources into keeping out the transportation of flies into the interior of the state, and rely on traps to warn of a slow migration across the borders.

    They've been at their airports for years.

    The checkpoints were in place in the early 60s when my dad was stationed at the Presido and we drove back and forth to arizona a lot. They never searched our car, they just asked if we had any fruits or vegetables...we did...and my mom always lied and said NO

    My memory is bad now days, ... didn't you move from Texas to Arizona quite a few years ago?
    Whomever it was, I remember they road a Kawasaki 650?? from Texas to Arizona along the back roads, almost crossing into Mexico at one point.

    they're more concerned about fruits that are infested with fruitflies. Hawaii is really strict, they XRAY your luggage at agricultural control centers at all airports. Why? because Hawaii's fruits that are not tropical like Pineapple or Mangoes are pretty much destroyed by the damned fruit flies. If they really infested California, it would wipe out a huge portion of the USA's fruit crop.

    Try NOT to fuck over America's farmers, guys.

    Anyone who thinks Fruit flies can fly over the border don't know shit about them. Fruitflies RARELY fly more than 100 feet away from any fruit source. They always stay CLOSE to the smell and scent of fruit. They burrow in the ground to lay eggs NEAR fruit. If you have a stretch of desert as short as a football field with no fruit on it, they wont' cross it. HOW it spreads is in infected fruit that is discarded. They'll burrow nearby and try to start a colony and look for more foodsources. Humans have an amazing capacity to have food everywhere they live and work. Once it hits any acreage for farming, that's it. California (and other states) spend a ton of effort eliminating infestations when they start.

    Ironic, isn't it, that CA cares more about a Fruit fly invasion than an illegal immigrant invasion? Ones destroys money while the other siphons it off. Same results, two different vectors and two different government approaches.
