The fact that interstate bootlegging is something that even exists blows my mind. Feels like the states are all part of the same system until you hit stuff like archaic blue laws, marijuana laws, abortion laws, auto insurance, and (recently) gay marriage.
Those are all important things, and it's pretty frustrating not to have the same rights in some states as I do in others. I'm surprised (but glad) there aren't state border crossing stops yet.
This is small stuff like getting wine and fireworks across state lines, I can't begin to imagine how someone who needs an abortion must feel about it.
- CocaKoala 9y ago> there aren't state border crossing stops yet Actually, funny story, when I was driving from Seattle to California a few years back, we got stopped around the Oregon-California border for a checkpoint. They ask questions to make sure you aren't importing fruits or plant matter that might be carrying pests non-native to the area (think "emerald ash borer" if you aren't sure what they're looking for). Anyways, I didn't realize what was happening for a moment, and thought it was a toll road. It was a very awkward moment when I tried to hand the guy some cash as he walked up to my window.
