You lose 4th amendment right every time you get pulled over by a cop here ;)
Bur seriously, it's always easy crossing over to Canada..it's coming that they hassle you. I find that a passport is the best solution. Southern California has had to deal with the problem of random checkpoints for years, and they're pretty efficient at conducting the stops. They usually don't stop every car. If they're looking for terrorists in those 2 areas, they're going to get bored quick.

In the past week checkpoints with random searches were set up near Port Huron and Treton. Currently there are no plans to install them in Detroit, but who knows about the future, with "homeland security," being such a pressing concern. May be somthing to consider if you cross the border for parties. --
