This paper reviews the implementation of the amendments to the Customs Act and the Criminal Code of Canada that were proclaimed in effect May 1, 2000. The implementation of the customs officer powers initiative in Ontario, at both rural and urban border crossings, is explored. Limitations on detection and enforcement activities are canvassed. Data from two locations are examined and analyzed to determine the number of detected drivers and the outcome in regards to criminal and driver records.
