Gabriel, a Canadian citizen driving an SUV with New Jersey plates and two hockey bags containing leafs, not sticks, came upon a traffic checkpoint as he neared the city of Bangor, Maine over 70 air miles from the nearest port of entry. The United States Border Patrol had set up the temporary checkpoint just north of Bangor and after Mr. Gabriel was referred to secondary inspection, his bags were found to contain marijuana. He was arrested and indicted for an alleged violation of federal drug laws. He now challenges the constitutionality of this search. Concluding the search passes constitutional muster, this Court finds the Government’s minimal intrusion was reasonable in light of the public interest at stake. This Court denies Defendant’s motion to suppress. I. Procedural History Joshua D.
