Law research
Dear Mr Cabo,
Let me introduce myself, my name is Sullivan Catherine, I'm a 4th year student in Harvard Law School, now doing a research on custom officers abuses. I am very interested in your case and would like to discuss it furthermore.
There are several issues I would like to raise in your case and would like to clarify the situation if possible. Carrying some cash implies declaration, and you should be aware that you should normally declare it. Normally the Canadian legislation requires that you should declare any amount over CAD10.000, however, if you were carrying USD9.100, you should be entitled to declare it.
Were you in Transit only ? Or were you crossing the border ? Normally if you are in transit you might not have to go through customs inspection. So maybe if you went out of the airport and came back in, it looked suspicious. However, if you consider any abuse of power, you should follow some legal actions. I don't think the airline company should be considered responsible.
Have you filed a lawsuit following this matter ? As I see, the topic is old of one month, have you had any follow up ?
You can talk to me in private if you wish. Thanks
Best regards,
Catherine
