Keep in mind that the rules are rules but the BPO can interpret them as they wish so be prepared and always be polite and friendly. Sntri is
considered a privilege and can be revoked at their whim.
Pets: they can ask for the immunization records so keep them with you.
Passengers: make sure your non-sentri passengers take their luggage with them. you cannot cross with other people's belongings.
Secondary: you will get passed to secondary quickly for your first inspection after you get sentri then likely every 3 months with random inspections
thrown in. Keep your registration, insurance and license ready. As with all inspections and stops by officials, in the appropriate area, turn off your
engine and place your keys on top of the dash and place your hands with fingers visible on top of the steering wheel until the officer approaches the
vehicle. provide the docs when asked for and not until then. The keys and the hands is a professional courtesy and shows them that you are aware of
the dangers of being an officer and they in turn will provide you a speedy inspection and let you be on your way. |
