Maine, Vermont. NH, MA, RI, CT
and a few trillion more in NY & NJ
100’s of thousands are hard up an desperate and live within a few hours drive on VT.
No way can VT afford to arrest and jail even a fraction of them ?
The flower children handcuffing the cops sure isn’t helping but how far should a police state go before it’s overkill harassment of normal people ? They can built Bat Caves and set up plate readers and super computers to monitor highways but there is no way to search every UPS, FEDEX & USPS, Amtrak, Greyhound vehicle crossing the state line.
