Customs takes auto because of cheap pipes HOUSTON (AP) — A woman whose car was seized at the border by the U.S. Customs Service because agents found two 50-cent pipes from Mexico inside her vehicle says the agency carried their “Zero Toler ance” program just too far this time. A U.S. Customs Service spokes man in Houston confirmed that no drugs were found on the woman or in the car, but said the car was seized because the “paraphernalia” had been discovered. Teresa Miller’s car was seized Sunday afternoon at the U.S. port of entry at Progreso after she and her friend, Valerie Cantrall, returned from Nuevo Progreso, Mexico. Pro greso is between Brownsville and McAllen. Miller, who lives in suburban Houston, said Wednesday that Can- trail bought the pipes in Mexico where the two had gone on a shop ping trip. “It’s appalling,” Miller said, 27, a clerical worker at a Pasadena law of fice. “I’m an American citizen, and I should have rights. First off, they (the pipes) were not even mine.” Cantrell, 23, who also does clerical work at the law office, said the onyx pipes were among “several knick- knacks” that she purchased during the one-day trip to the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Cantrell said neither she or Miller use drugs and she planned to give the pipes to a girlfriend, who collects pipes along with her egg collection and a lot of other things. The seizure stems from the ad ministration’s Zero Tolerance policy that is designed to curtail the de mand for drugs, spokesman Charles Conroy said. Conroy said the seizure was based on federal laws that prohibit the im portation of paraphernalia and aid ing unlawful importation. “I told them they couldn’t do it (seize the car),” Miller said. “I said, ‘I have my legal rights.’ They (a Cus toms officer) told me, no, I didn’t, I had no rights at that time.” One officer asked the women if they had any onyx products before officers saw the pipes, Cantrell said. She said she offered to give the pipes to them. “The whole point is that we did not have any drugs,” Cantrell said. “We had no pot or nothing. I do not smoke and neither does my friend, so they had no reason.” Cantrell said the officer told them to take everything out of it (the car) that they wanted, because they prob ably wouldn’t see it again. The seizure is being appealed. ^ The women said they were told that the car, on which Miller still owes $5,800, would be put up for auction in Laredo if the appeal is turned down. Miller, who is married and has no children, said she contacted U.S. Sen. Lloyd Bentsen’s office and other congressional representatives for help. Chris Peacock, a spokesman for Bentsen in Washington, D.C., said the matter is being looked into. He added that about five complaints had been received in the last month about seizures along the Texas bor der. A total of 474 vehicles have been seized through June in the Customs Service’s southwest region, com prised of Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico, since the Zero Tol erance policy went into effect on March 21, Conroy said. The women have also asked for help from the American Civil Liber ties Union. “I think it’s probably the most ri diculous case I’ve heard about under this so-called Zero Tolerance pro gram, which is essentially the Rea gan administration’s way of trying to look like they’re being tough on drugs without really doing anything about the drug traffic,” ACLU attor ney Bruce Griffiths of Houston said. “This is the first time I’ve heard of one (case) where somebody was not possessing any drug at all,” Griffiths said. 6th Annual Texas Biathlon at Southwood valley Pool Saturday Sept. 10,8 a.m. 1000 yd. swim lOKrur For More Information Call: 764-3787 764-3773 Ken Martin’s Steakhouse Welcome Back Special Chicken Fried Steak $2. 50 All day Sunday, Sept. 11 & 18 776-7500 3231 E. 29th semester V w * year Brazos Refrigerator 846-8611 Free Delivery with cold drinks from your large (4.2) dorm refrigerator Rent Now!
