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.
