E.D.Mich.: If you’re rejected driving to Canadian customs, turning around and going back is still a U.S. border crossing

A border search occurred where defendant attempted to enter Canada and was turned away on suspicion of manufacturing child pornography on cell phone videos. His cell phone was subjected to a border search at the U.S. border. His argument he was never outside the U.S. for a border search was rejected because he presented himself to Canadian customs first.
