I love how whenever they have initial suspicions that someone might have drugs, then they test / swab / search them & it comes back negative, so the voiceover goes "Another disappointing result..." 🤣🤣🤣
I'm really puzzled how walking separately from your spouse or girlfriend helps you avoid detection. I would think that a couple going through the airport looks more natural and less suspicious than a single person, especially if you're coming from a country notorious for drugs. I would naturally assume that a smuggler was acting alone, not with a partner, especially not with one that looks like a romantic partner. A couple who might be coming back from Carnival in Rio or a honeymoon in Jamaica looks to me less like smugglers than a single, young male coming into the UK from Rio or Jamaica, for example. I can understand if the logic is, 'We are both carrying drugs, so if we separate and they only catch one of us, then half our drugs got through.' But how does it seem like they will be LESS suspicious just by virtue of seeming to be travelling alone? Young, Rastafarian man with one bag, travelling alone vs young, Rastafarian man travelling with his wife or girlfriend, helping her carry her bags, looking like a loving couple - which one would YOU think more likely to be carrying cannabis? Or the same couple with a baby or a couple of kids. I'd go for the single guy, not the young couple or family. Can anyone explain the logic?
Yes UK is very nice. 13 pounds for one packet of marlboro gold in UK shop. That is 130 pound for one carton. In duty free, 30 pounds for one carton. Verry nice
@@Deam0007 I live in a country where drug smuggling can be punished by the death penalty if you’re caught smuggling over a threshold amount, and substantial sentences in prison including life sentences if under that amount. It doesn’t deter anyone and drugs are pretty easy to find if you want them.
5:29 in the US that is what they call a "suicide load" whether it be in a car or in luggage in a plane or ship. No attempt to hide it other than in a bag or suite case. Now...driving a car between a a couple states the risk is fairly low if your vehicle is legal and you follow all traffic laws to the T. But to pack that much drugs in a suitcase like that and put it in checked baggage on a plane? That is just asking to be caught. Jesus!
Exactly. At the age of 8, I knew not to pack anything that may be deemed dangerous in my suitcase. How does an adult in the millennium not know that putting drugs in a suitcase that's going through airport security is a surefire way to be arrested?
I'd put a heavy bet on fishermen working together with smugglers to use garbage tips in order to get the interceptor ships away from where the dope is actually coming in.
Well the officer used his bare hands to put it into the machine, in the US that could be contested. He definitely should’ve used gloves as if the officer had been using cocaine the swab would’ve been affected.

A third of all these episodes is just people coming from somewhere with way too much tobacco after being easily scammed in the other country by the sellers who always say "the allowance is X" to sell a lot more cigarettes to each customer.
Thing is, you can easily Google customs amounts for any goods you wish to buy abroad. Ignorance of the law really isn’t an excuse in this case, and half the time the person bringing the cigarettes or the tobacco in is just chancing their arm in the hope they don’t get caught. Then they play the innocent act when they get stopped.
@@eliz_scubavn fair point. I definitely agree that it’s not an excuse either way. But I do also think quite a few of them really did get scammed out of ignorance, Though my estimate of the number of them from the people who get caught is definitely off.
@@hatwarm It wasn't really all thaat long ago , people were still booking flights online , the majority of people bringing anything like this in fully know the allowances ,
Well ciggs , especially nowadays are the most common and one of the most profitable things smuggled in , that's why theres so much anyway , its not like you are paying for a service here lol
First time, you are lucky to just get off, with a record of doing this you are likely to get legal action taken. I think most people do it for their own use and they just don’t think about getting caught. The loss of the cigarette can translate into a huffy money loss, they can also be fined separately. Their offence is also recorded and they are tracked on future travels. As I see it, most people are greedy when they see the cigarettes selling so cheaply.
I think that's if it's a first offense. I saw on another episode of this where they said the first time they just have a fine, but if you're caught again you're charged.
UK Customs still hasn't figure it out when they caught someone with traces but wasn't able to find where the drugs were actually hidden LOL - I doubt that they'll ever figure it out LOOOL
A fair chunk of people who’ve never had anything to do with drugs will likely test positive for trace amounts. Drugs are present in trace amounts on many things including money. It’s super easy to be contaminated.
LOL! Dude must have warded off that bag with some serious juju! How else can you explain the balls to waltz in with a bag full of bricks and expect Customs not see that? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've been watching a Canadian boarder show before I bumped into this one. There is a stark contrast between the two: the Canadians look like a nit-picking bunch of mean amateurs going after petty infractions compared to the UK guys who are respectful, professional and go after real threats to their country. I don't know of course if this difference is real or it's just the cases the show producers chose to present but it's there. 👍
Im Canadian, Lol good observation but don't be fooled by the accents. The UK TSA are often lower social class than USA TSA people and that says a lot. Canada is all about stopping any person with criminal past, DUI or planning to move to Canada. That's all they care about. It's similar to Australia border patrol who only worry about agriculture and people moving to Australia. UK has a different problem. Being so close to Africa and other countries considered to be high drug trafficking areas. Plus nobody wants to move to UK so they never screen for that. They only care about drugs cause they know you can become a quick British millionaire with 1 Kg of coke because nobody has huge supplies. In the USA 1 Kg of coke may not even get you a decent car because everyone has it. You would likely have a pretty coke gf and maybe one gold chain at max before having to go get more coke to sell.
I guess the ones who got caught had never seen this type of documentary. How could they not know that Customs uses x-ray and swab technology, plus good old sniffer dogs.
Considering how much contraband gets into the country, it's surprising how little they actually find! Also, their focus on cigarettes is interesting. Oh no, 201 ciggys!
transfered through Heathrow this summer, 30 minutes just in the security que, everyone got 3d scanned, hand searched and shoes swabed, my new stick deodorant had to be checked for drugs, funny thing being they didn't ask me about my prescription meds that I had in my bag 😅
Lol traveled for Christmas recently. They checked my empty vape for drugs but not my 20+ meds because I said I’m disabled and take lots of medication 😅 they found nothing
It does but I'm guessing they are frustrated that they wasted not only the innocent persons time but also time they could have caught someone who is actually smuggling items they shouldn't be.
The frustration is when a sniffer dog flags up a suitcase, the passenger states they have not taken drugs and swab tests positive but they don't find drugs. Thats why its frustrating.
It won't be long before a magic wand is created where a customs officer waves it over all the luggage and it will tell them everything they need to know.
It's a huge amount of drugs taking off the street. Really! Cannabis is being legalized in all civilized country nowadays.. Which is worse the marijuana or the cigarettes,
12.5 years for the VAT fraud organizer so probably significantly shorter sentences for the rest. Not too bad assuming they each managed to put away a few million somewhere safe that they can use once they´re out.
Look up the Proceeds of Crime Act. Legally anything believed to have been purchased or obtained through criminal means can be seized and subject to forfeiture. This includes bank accounts as well as actual possessions.
This amazes me. I had an apple in my backpack and was freaking out over customs. I list my purchases, with receipts, down to the last keychain gift. For some reason I'm always hand swabbed for explosives. Omg! I have an apple. Traveling is stressful
Sometimes they give the people back their 200 cigarettes, and sometimes they say that because the person brought in too many, they automatically forfeit ALL of their cigarettes. It seems to have a lot to do with the person giving them attitude. There was one guy who kept shouting verbal abuse and cursing and saying that he came from EUROPE - Turkey - and thus he could keep like 18,000 cigarettes - shouting this to everyone who came through with him (I'm guessing he was probably bragging to everyone on his tour about the great bargain he got with all those cigs, because he was appealing to other people around about his 'rights' to bring in that many cigarettes because 'Turkey is in Europe', despite the customs officer saying 'Turkey is NOT in the European UNION'). He kept saying he would take the cigarettes and there was nothing the (female) customs officer could do to stop him (tacitly suggesting that he'd physically stop her if she tried to stop him taking the drugs; when a man showed up and backed her up, he stopped acting like he was ready physically to fight her for the cigarettes). That guy got NOTHING and the male customs officer just said, 'You brought in too many and did not declare them, so you lose them all - that's the rules.' But here, if an older woman might cry... she gets back her legal 200 cigarettes. I HAVE noticed in life in general that if you could be the age of the official's mother, and the official is male, and you look tearful... it's like they can't disappoint their mum or make her cry, and they will do almost anything they can to avoid causing a mum-like person distress. Of course, the young women are often much more lenient on men, especially if the men flirt a bit. How many times has the supermarket clerk absolutely CLOSED her line for a break, and one guy comes and says, 'Oh, come on love, I just have 14 items,' and she lets him through, but let a woman come and say, 'I just have these nappies,' and she'll say, 'I'm closed. Get in the other line.' I've actually had the clerk tell me, 'I'm closed, go to the other line,' and then as I step away, let some 'flirtatious' man go through. Or she tells me to tell any further customers that she's closed, but one guy raises his voice and says, 'Oh, come on sweetheart!' and he gets through while several others - women - have been turned away. Moral: pick the official you go to, if you can. And don't 'milk' your advantage (girls, don't try to use sexiness to manipulate a male - that may backfire because he's fed up with the trick; as a university examiner, any girl who came to viva voce exams in a very small skirt with cleavage showing automatically got a 'freezing' reception from the males on the panel because they knew they were being manipulated - they had been students themselves and heard girls boast about how they got higher marks by using their sexuality).
one has to have two questions....how are the caught ones targeted and why would someone attempt to go through any airport because it is so attuned to this type of activity..
The average price of a 20 cig pack in the UK is $15.30 while in the US its $8.49 having the highest is Australia at $27.62 and the lowest being Nigeria $0.96 per pack.
@@shopaccount8909 average ratings truly make no sense since you have low, average, then high. So when you say average $8.00 then the low would be $4.00 in the United States and that's nearly impossible. Then you have a high rating which would be double of $8.00 so why is average the mentioned rating for the U.S? To make expensive things seem cheaper? A rating is truly the top off. Not the average. So you picked a high rating for Australia, and England. cool. Then you picked a low rating for Nigeria. Then you averaged the United States. Make sense out of that. It's not a poverty rating. So you're belittling Nigeria and the United States while uplifting Ausie and England. Nice try chap.
Whenever I watch these shows, I imagine the border security guards transported 1000 years back and ‘protecting’ the border from raiding Vikings. How bad do I want to see Mr Hair Gel confronting a Viking!
They should tell the smokers why high taxes on smokes and only 200 cigarettes allowed back into country. Lung and other cancers caused by smoking costs the government and medical system, they need to compensate for these extra costs.
I think it honestly depends on the country you buy them in. When I went to Czech Republic I bought smokes for around $8-9 cheaper than in Canada and bringing them back was still cheaper!
Dogs are notoriously bad at drug detection. It is very easy for a trainer to get their dog to give a false hit. It has happened so often here in the states that some cop shops have done away with drug dogs, instead using them for actions like chasing suspects.
I've seen so many times where the dog doesnt do anything but the cop says it gave a positive indication and they use that to be able to search the car or whatever. I'm sure some cops have there trained where they can make a discreet move and the dog will sit down which they then say is the dog detecting drugs. I bet cops love using the dogs regardless if they are accurate or not.

There was one guy who kept shouting verbal abuse and cursing and saying that he came from EUROPE - Turkey - and thus he could keep like 18,000 cigarettes - shouting this to everyone who came through with him (I'm guessing he was probably bragging to everyone on his tour about the great bargain he got with all those cigs, because he was appealing to other people around about his 'rights' to bring in that many cigarettes because 'Turkey is in Europe', despite the customs officer saying 'Turkey is NOT in the European UNION'). He kept saying he would take the cigarettes and there was nothing the (female) customs officer could do to stop him (tacitly suggesting that he'd physically stop her if she tried to stop him taking the drugs; when a man showed up and backed her up, he stopped acting like he was ready physically to fight her for the cigarettes). That guy got NOTHING and the male customs officer just said, 'You brought in too many and did not declare them, so you lose them all - that's the rules.' But here, if an older woman might cry... she gets back her legal 200 cigarettes.
I HAVE noticed in life in general that if you could be the age of the official's mother, and the official is male, and you look tearful... it's like they can't disappoint their mum or make her cry, and they will do almost anything they can to avoid causing a mum-like person distress. Of course, the young women are often much more lenient on men, especially if the men flirt a bit. How many times has the supermarket clerk absolutely CLOSED her line for a break, and one guy comes and says, 'Oh, come on love, I just have 14 items,' and she lets him through, but let a woman come and say, 'I just have these nappies,' and she'll say, 'I'm closed. Get in the other line.' I've actually had the clerk tell me, 'I'm closed, go to the other line,' and then as I step away, let some 'flirtatious' man go through. Or she tells me to tell any further customers that she's closed, but one guy raises his voice and says, 'Oh, come on sweetheart!' and he gets through while several others - women - have been turned away.
Moral: pick the official you go to, if you can. And don't 'milk' your advantage (girls, don't try to use sexiness to manipulate a male - that may backfire because he's fed up with the trick; as a university examiner, any girl who came to viva voce exams in a very small skirt with cleavage showing automatically got a 'freezing' reception from the males on the panel because they knew they were being manipulated - they had been students themselves and heard girls boast about how they got higher marks by using their sexuality).
Why do these people think they can create a crime and expect no consequences WTF!!
You guys doing a great job
I 💚 This Show!
He asked if he could smoke 😂😂😂😂
Come on. The couple with the pot are not even trying. 👀
Don’t ever let someone put your name on their bag
one has to have two questions....how are the caught ones targeted and why would someone attempt to go through any airport because it is so attuned to this type of activity..
The average price of a 20 cig pack in the UK is $15.30 while in the US its $8.49 having the highest is Australia at $27.62 and the lowest being Nigeria $0.96 per pack.
In New York they are 16.50 with taxes included. 8 dollars 😅🤣😂
@@JRnyc says average, if you take the average of every state in the United States of America its around 8 dollars
@@shopaccount8909 average ratings truly make no sense since you have low, average, then high. So when you say average $8.00 then the low would be $4.00 in the United States and that's nearly impossible. Then you have a high rating which would be double of $8.00 so why is average the mentioned rating for the U.S? To make expensive things seem cheaper? A rating is truly the top off. Not the average. So you picked a high rating for Australia, and England. cool. Then you picked a low rating for Nigeria.
Then you averaged the United States. Make sense out of that. It's not a poverty rating. So you're belittling Nigeria and the United States while uplifting Ausie and England. Nice try chap.
Whenever I watch these shows, I imagine the border security guards transported 1000 years back and ‘protecting’ the border from raiding Vikings. How bad do I want to see Mr Hair Gel confronting a Viking!
Everything that heals people is forbidden. Makes you think hmmm,
They should tell the smokers why high taxes on smokes and only 200 cigarettes allowed back into country. Lung and other cancers caused by smoking costs the government and medical system, they need to compensate for these extra costs.
I wonder how many people get away with it?
What's the deal with all the cigarettes? Are they really that expensive to make it worth being caught out as a smuggler?
Many people resell them, so presumably yes.
This couple possibly were lured into trying to get that cannabis by money or violence. Lots of poor desperate people out there.
she's about to smoke all those cigarettes 🤢 her lungs are getting tortured
Why can they make a machine that will scan everything internal without having to do the body strip.?
Why not charge tax and duties on all the cigarettes if it’s determined that it’s for personal use? Why waste the chance to get tax on a product.
it was filmed in 2007... now in 2021 since most of people don't smoke anymore.... those agents have more time to spare....
You cant just take all that cannabis through like that nuts
IF YOU DECLARE CIGARETTES , PAY DUTY / ARE THEY STILL CHEAPER THAN BOUGHT IN A SHOP ? ASSUMING PERSONAL SMALL AMOUNT ?
I think it honestly depends on the country you buy them in. When I went to Czech Republic I bought smokes for around $8-9 cheaper than in Canada and bringing them back was still cheaper!
They blurred his face on the show and TH-cam showed it. 😂
Dogs are notoriously bad at drug detection. It is very easy for a trainer to get their dog to give a false hit. It has happened so often here in the states that some cop shops have done away with drug dogs, instead using them for actions like chasing suspects.
I've seen so many times where the dog doesnt do anything but the cop says it gave a positive indication and they use that to be able to search the car or whatever. I'm sure some cops have there trained where they can make a discreet move and the dog will sit down which they then say is the dog detecting drugs. I bet cops love using the dogs regardless if they are accurate or not.
"Cannabis is a Class C drug..." lol
