The non genuine tourist. Good job Border security. Too many fake tourists came and applied for fake protection visas, abusing taxpayers monies by obtaining Medicare, rights to work, and free public schools for their kids. All funded by Australian hard working tax payers. Border protection and Home Affairs must stop this. I'm proud of the officers' professionalism in this video 👍
Yea I was about to say. I know its not likely from vietnam and maybe based on her profiling of the pax its really unlikely, but imagine if it was Fentanyl. She might have overdosed right then and there😅
Young lady from Hong Kong is likely an escort. She’s probably meeting her friend who also works in same industry and is already in the country and encouraged her to visit. This is why she has no money (will work and make money), and no return flight because if business is good she planned on staying longer. Designer bag, no plans, no friends or family, no money, and previous work as a “model” give her intentions away.
I travel around the world I don’t make plans either. Because sometimes I have to leave before I have done everything or seen everything. The thing I have is enough time. That’s why I won’t be going to Australia if they are going to cancel my visa.
@@anthonyozorio7747I just prepared the standard answer and doing whatever I like. Don't make your life more difficult by giving suspicious statements.
@@anthonyozorio7747as a normal person, if you interested in visiting a country. You at least will do some basic research to get to know the country. This is what we call common sense. You don’t have to make a plan, but you at least should have a brief overview of the country you are about to enter. Does this make sense to you?
I just appreciate how patient and kind the border officer is to the chinese lady. Despite of the behaviour she shows to the officer, she still choose to be kind and remain calm and try to understand the situation❤ what a beautiful person😊
Yes they all seem incredibly patient with all of the foreigners but they all knew they were being filmed and the tape would be broadcasted online. So they were in their best behavior. In reality, many border offices are not nice and patient. Some of them can be quite mean and condescending. I think she was being a little harsh to the Chinese lady. She was eating the food because she didn’t want to waste them and not “eating away her evidence” like it was described in this video. The big bag of dried dates (looked like premium dates) can be expensive. I know this because I come from a province that produces dates. And the seeds or beans she took out of her luggage were most likely roasted seeds/beans so they’re not viable. These seeds and beans were most likely snacks which are common in China. The Chinese lady maybe understood a little English but definitely not fluent so that’s why she didn’t speak. Otherwise she would’ve explained herself. She probably also didn’t know she can’t bring dates to Australia cause from my understanding, meats, eggs, and dairy products are not allowed. My mom always brings a large quantity of dried and cooked dates back to the U.S, and she was never investigated and fined by the border officers. I’m sure you can find dried dates in Australian Asian supermarkets too. So what’s the big deal of her bringing some dried dates that are readily available in Aussie’s Asian supermarkets?! This video only shows the point of view from the border officer but not the other way around. Because the audiences are most likely Australian natives. If they have gotten a translator for her, you probably would not think this Chinese lady’s behavior is all that bad. I’ve seen a German old lady fought her way through the border office to bring a full jar of capers to the U.S. and she got away with it. Didn’t get fined because she spoke better English and she was very adamant about it. I wonder she got away with it because she was white and European.
@@SF19925I believe it was a case of an older lady interfacing with an elderly - possibly a grandma. With regards to translation, in such a situation it’s more efficient to get a passing tourist to help than to wait for an official who would possibly be busy inside immigration/customs offices handling serious issues concerning immigration/criminal laws that aren’t mere regulation violations
They found it suspicious that someone would go just for a wedding? Isn't that more normal or at least as normal as going for a wedding and staying a long time?
I thought it was pretty normal too lol. I've taken short trips of weddings all the time, I rather be there for a short amount of time than not at all. Sometimes people don't have the means to make it a long stay either.

I think the old Chinese lady who kept eating her food is to actually show that her food is actually not ‘poisonous’ thus not a threat. This is quite a common practice when people go thru securities in China and they’ll be asked to take a sip of the liquid they bring to show that it’s not explosive materials. It’s a shame that she didn’t or wasn’t able to explain this obviously due to language barrier; and she might’ve received incorrect information before she entered the boarder.

There is clear view of one of the sides of the water bottles at 12:12 (white cap bottle standing up to the right) and I noticed a fairly decent gap between the “ice” and bottle…now correct me if I’m wrong but water expands when frozen, unless he drank the melted water I’m definitely suspicious.
The old lady doesn’t know English well enough to understand what the officer was telling her. She only understood the beginning when was asked simpler questions. She should have gotten a translator from the airport. Glad she’s gotten help from another traveler. I can imagine my aunt unknowingly brings her favorite food abroad as well.
Honestly, the maximum fine for illegal importation is already a joke but it should be ALWAYS requested when people like the Chinese lady don't own up or apologise for their wrongdoing. You do something against the law and on top of that you're lying and you're rude but STILL get away with it? It's tough to take Australia's border force seriously
It is a big joke. Australians should be embarrassed. Peasants from neighbouring countries laugh at them. And so they should. They take whatever they want into the country. Probably 95% of them are lying on their forms but they always get away with it - maybe a couple hundred dollars fine max - but usually nothing to pay.
Two things. One, this show was filmed prior to COVID and border biosecurity law change. Second, there is something called disproportional response.

@estellebright2579 Why are you talking about jail? There is a fine for trying to import illegal substances, foods, arts.. if you catch someone doing it, just apply the fine?

@@cyman0730 I dont understand what you mean? If its about money, I avoid "tourist traps" and instead opt for taking in the culture by walking around and observing buildings, nature etc... I used to travel on a 100eur per week budget (excluding accomodation, but you can also couchsurf) a few years back, now i indulge in more cause I like to visit specific restaurants when I travel :) Visiting other countries doesnt have to cost a lot, most of the things besides food can be free, but ofc you can choose the style you prefer.
Whether or not they are pretending. USE A TRANSLATOR - THERES SOFTWARE FOR IT EVERYWHERE. If they pretend to not understand even after that, then it provides a dead give away.
@@jeremysun7365 firstly, this episode aired in 2019. Secondly, this is in Australia.. the customs could've easily hired atleast a SINGLE translator with such a high influx of Chinese people coming in and out. On top of that, translating software was everywhere even pre-covid
The Australia custom officers are too nice to them, especially to the woman who keeps eating the confiscated Dates. If it happens in the US, she will be fined and the officer could take her to a separate room for questioning and even cancel her visa.
its because their border control have sensitivity training since 2000s because they have so much complaints and escalation before that because they were already too strict and they dont have any hospitality and character policies of how they should deal with passengers in different culture before. my dad traveled to my aunt there in the 90's he almost didnt get in because of his "muddy boots" so they made him rinse it
I am from Toronto and will go to Vietnam for my son's wedding and I plan to stay for only 3 days since I have a cruise planned. Wonder if I can get into trouble.
You have nothing to worry about as long as all your papers are in order and you're honest. Check with TSA on what you're allowed to bring. Every once in a while the laws change or they. add a twist to it. Safe travels and make wonderful memories. Greetings from Switzerland
Nah, that officer is just uncultured. Most of us never stay longer than the wedding days because we don't wanna use up our vacation days esp if it is for a random relative's wedding that we don't care about but have to go in order to not be flamed in the family group chat. 😂
Now that young woman owes someone $7,000. Guaranteed they're going to want that money back. I don't even want to think about what they're going to do to her, or force her to do, to re-pay that money. That's the real reason she was crying.
@@Maddie-rv6sp Exactly! Money was wire-transferred to her. You think it magically came from thin air? She accepted the transfer. Someone has $7K, someone sent $7K. That someone paid for a job. Not her vacation. She can't complete that job. Person who paid her is going to expect their money back.
Not sure why it's considered strange to not have an itinerary or return flight? I'm Asian American and work in private equity in NY and often travel globally with one way tickets and no clue what I am going to do in the countries I visit other than general sites that I want to see. I just let serendipity take its course. I'm never questioned anywhere I go (including first world countries) about what I am doing there even though I look Asian and am taking the same approach as this woman. Really what it boils down to is how you speak and what passport you have. There is clearly a bias and suspicion if you're not from America or Western Europe and can't speak English clearly.
I understand this is a commonly held belief but in fact, ignorance is absolutely an excuse. If I come to your country and I wear a yellow shirt and I get arrested because wearing yellow in youir country is illegal, then I am absolutely excused because I would have no reasonable way of knowing about that law or any of the thousands of other laws that most countries have. This is why law enforcement have the discretion on whether or not to charge you with a crime.
I’m deeply impressed with Australian Border Patrol Officers & procedures. You’re wonderful & amazingly polite despite how awful you’re treated. As an American, I’m embarrassed & ashamed of what I’ve seen & heard from other Americans. Please, arrest them all and accept our apologies and our thanks. When they return to the USA, they will be greeted with anything but a warm welcome. They’ll be scrutinized and examined to the fullest extinct of our laws. Misery will certainly be felt on their return as they discover how we really feel about their actions & behavior. These selfish people put everyone in danger. They are blind to anything but their own greedy desires. Most people have genuine decency and don’t do such things but there are some who are so selfish & blind to others in the World, they see nothing else. You each do an amazing job and an extremely honorable one. May God Bless You and you’re families for what you do each day to make our World a safer place for everyone of us and for the future of our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I remember 911 very clearly and I know the absolute terror we all felt that day and for a very long time afterwards. Without people like you, Australians, we would’ve been lost. Thank you for always being with America. We aren’t invisible and we are frightened. I read some of the comments and I’m shocked & disappointed in people. Their ignorance is extraordinary. There’s no Country that does this better than the Australians. You’re wonderful friends & true allies to Americans. Be safe and thank you. 🇺🇸 🇦🇺
When I travel i hate carrying anything so I only take my small carry on, he had a few liters of water lol. Date no good because of "seeds" but she still ate some and kept the "seeds"

11:27 - 15:53 He isn’t able to keep the “cleaning powder”. Check the 3 results from the machine, which are positive for narcotics. Turns out he can’t keep one item, which is the honey.. ??? But can keep the “cleaning powder”???? Not detained or nothing? They also let him keep the water
If you pay attention, second test shows the powder is sodium carbonate, not any narcotics. And trace swap is sensitive so even some inadvertent contact of narcotics can trigger an alarm. Water is, well, water.
A child can legitimately say they didn't pack their own luggage, but I have never seen an adult not pack theirs and be completely unaware of what they were carrying.

@biwind8175 I am like your dad but with my sister. 😂 I have no idea what could be on the bag. Even if you tell me I will immediately forget. I can even go out with friend let them put stuff in my bag cause they don't have enough place if we buy to much thing (food, clothes...). Sorry for the bad eng
Marriage can do that to you. My wife packs all my stuff when I travel for work, from suit to medicine to snacks. The only thing I packed myself is my phone and wallet because they’re in my jacket pockets.
Your first question should be, 'do you know for what items do you need to declare'?. If the passenger says, No, then, no need to ask the next question, 'do you have anything to declare'. There might be some innocent passengers who may not know for what items they need to declare!
it is weird that they find it weird that you can go away for a couple days and come back. some people have money you know, unlike her that makes minimum wage.
Customs officer says this is serious, bringing food items from other countries, yet there is enough of it happening to make these kinds of shows in Australia, Canada, US, all over the world. If it really was serious they would just send the offenders back. How easy would it be to educate them on the plane over to avoid these hassles, don't declare food, you get sent back home.
Airports or customs don't employ people to specifically translate stuff they usually have another passenger that can speak the language do the translation if necessary it's easier for Airports to get another passenger to translate than it is to hire someone just to translate things.
@@Keyrose-my3xrit’s not their first language so there will be some miscommunication. It’s so much difficult for foreigners to quickly understand what it’s really going on.

Young lady’s answer wasn’t make sense at all. How you travel without hotel reservations and no plans? Also she doesn’t looks like a backpacker. (Gucci bag can’t tell it 😅) There’re many traveler come without plans but mostly they are rich and they can prove their money to spend but she couldn’t prove that. The officers were kind and kindly compromise with them.
She shouldn't be allowed to travel if she's not willing to communicate, even at least putting half an effort to familiarize themselves with another country's law.
what short term job in Canada can give $7000/month, esp for one without work visa? i understand one might not have a solid plan for travel, but at least would have booked accommodation for the first day and brought some money. the amount of pills r very unusual as well. so i agree with the immigration judgement that she is not a genuine tourist.
One that works 20 hours a day probably! And, I bet they don’t ever get what they are promised. The immigration fraud is as much about the ‘immigrant’ being harmed.
Why would you go to Australia with no return ticket and no accommodations..if ur intention is to stay and it’s a requirement then do it,save enough money to do so…sad
Easy to judge others when we don't empathise with other's financial situations. Young lady likely here to work short-term in the adult entertainment industry, so its common not to have these things.
@@CreateMakeEnterprise you assume they are educated to understand seeds from a simple snack can wreck havoc on local agriculture. Sometimes these customs are ridiculous… ok. I was forbidden from bringing commercial pork floss. Seriously it’s dried cooked pork that has been shredded.. how is it any danger is beyond my understanding.
Obviously, the elderly woman from China either doesn't understand English or pretends not to understand English. How is it that whoever she is staying with doesn't explain clearly to her what is allowed and what is not allowed into Australia ? Perhaps Australia government might want to consider having the customs declaration available in different languages.
I would have watch her to eat all her food in front of me, and then charge her the fine 😂 and that Vietnamese guy just cracked me up 😂 acting all surprised when been told there was narcotic substances in the cleaning power, and as there is no drinking water in Australia he had to bring back from Vietnam
Why don't they have the rules about Australian laws, written in Chinese? That seems strange, at least to me. They should have them in Chinese airports, or wherever they issue visas. The woman who had her visa cancelled, will make better plans, next time. I don't know how much she paid, for her 1 way ticket, but at least she won't have to pay for her flight home.

I used to travel on a 100eur per week budget (excluding accomodation, but you can also couchsurf) a few years back, now i indulge in more cause I like to visit specific restaurants when I travel :) Visiting other countries doesnt have to cost a lot, most of the things besides food can be free, but ofc you can choose the style you prefer.
Why don't they use some kind of interpreter or google translate when it's obvious they aren't understanding a single word of English?
They understand everything
They just pretend they don’t.
Whether or not they are pretending. USE A TRANSLATOR - THERES SOFTWARE FOR IT EVERYWHERE. If they pretend to not understand even after that, then it provides a dead give away.
google translate wasn't a thing in 2005. and then in China, google was banned for a very long time until they were partially allowed.
@@jeremysun7365 firstly, this episode aired in 2019. Secondly, this is in Australia.. the customs could've easily hired atleast a SINGLE translator with such a high influx of Chinese people coming in and out. On top of that, translating software was everywhere even pre-covid
The lady was showing her anger by eating, and also proving that it causes nothing to her! 😊
The Australia custom officers are too nice to them, especially to the woman who keeps eating the confiscated Dates. If it happens in the US, she will be fined and the officer could take her to a separate room for questioning and even cancel her visa.
its because their border control have sensitivity training since 2000s because they have so much complaints and escalation before that because they were already too strict and they dont have any hospitality and
character policies of how they should deal with passengers in different culture before. my dad traveled to my aunt there in the 90's he almost didnt get in because of his "muddy boots" so they made him rinse it
Yes, indeed. What these Americans don’t understand is they will face U.S. Immigration they attempt to RE-enter the USA. They’ll be crying then!
They know exactly what the law is on importing food etc. they get away with too much
Nice job on bleeping out the swearing at the end lol
The lady from Taiwan spoke little English, but when was told that her visa is revoke , she argue like lawyer.
Never get tired of watching border security videos. Human behaviour, when triggered, sets out all sorts of reactions.
I am from Toronto and will go to Vietnam for my son's wedding and I plan to stay for only 3 days since I have a cruise planned. Wonder if I can get into trouble.
You have nothing to worry about as long as all your papers are in order and you're honest. Check with TSA on what you're allowed to bring. Every once in a while the laws change or they. add a twist to it. Safe travels and make wonderful memories. Greetings from Switzerland
Nah, that officer is just uncultured. Most of us never stay longer than the wedding days because we don't wanna use up our vacation days esp if it is for a random relative's wedding that we don't care about but have to go in order to not be flamed in the family group chat. 😂
Officer Alysha limited smile is very charming 😂 Good job guys👌👌👌
An official of Australia are doing Awesome jobs 👍👍appreciate 👏👏👏!
Lol at the date lady grabbing her bag w a smile
Now that young woman owes someone $7,000. Guaranteed they're going to want that money back. I don't even want to think about what they're going to do to her, or force her to do, to re-pay that money. That's the real reason she was crying.
i don't get it, hwy does she owe someone? it was wire transferred to her
@@Maddie-rv6sp
Exactly! Money was wire-transferred to her. You think it magically came from thin air? She accepted the transfer. Someone has $7K, someone sent $7K. That someone paid for a job. Not her vacation. She can't complete that job. Person who paid her is going to expect their money back.
@@Maddie-rv6sp she borrowed it from somebody and she will have to repay it back with her body.
shes an escort
If she owes it, they’ll keep it and they should.
Not sure why it's considered strange to not have an itinerary or return flight? I'm Asian American and work in private equity in NY and often travel globally with one way tickets and no clue what I am going to do in the countries I visit other than general sites that I want to see. I just let serendipity take its course. I'm never questioned anywhere I go (including first world countries) about what I am doing there even though I look Asian and am taking the same approach as this woman. Really what it boils down to is how you speak and what passport you have. There is clearly a bias and suspicion if you're not from America or Western Europe and can't speak English clearly.
Right, cause which countries produces more people overstaying visas. Young woman's English improved amazingly!
Ignorance of law excuses no one. A law it's a law. She should fine her accordingly.
I understand this is a commonly held belief but in fact, ignorance is absolutely an excuse. If I come to your country and I wear a yellow shirt and I get arrested because wearing yellow in youir country is illegal, then I am absolutely excused because I would have no reasonable way of knowing about that law or any of the thousands of other laws that most countries have. This is why law enforcement have the discretion on whether or not to charge you with a crime.
Blood-shot eyes on young woman from blue contact lenses drying out.
The lady in the red shirt trying to eat her food was not having it 😂
that Taiwanese lady is priceless. 😂😂
she has a price
She should have swallow his pride right there.
Mrs gail....u are the perfect officer so far i been waching this video....
I think she was trying to get some of the seeds into the country
So surprised about frozen water & cleaning powder super unsual, so admire the wife. Why didn't the customer throw these items??
I see the brand name of the cleaning powder is cleaning revolution in Korean. Must be his wife's favourite Korean brands.
I’m deeply impressed with Australian Border Patrol Officers & procedures. You’re wonderful & amazingly polite despite how awful you’re treated. As an American, I’m embarrassed & ashamed of what I’ve seen & heard from other Americans. Please, arrest them all and accept our apologies and our thanks. When they return to the USA, they will be greeted with anything but a warm welcome. They’ll be scrutinized and examined to the fullest extinct of our laws. Misery will certainly be felt on their return as they discover how we really feel about their actions & behavior. These selfish people put everyone in danger. They are blind to anything but their own greedy desires. Most people have genuine decency and don’t do such things but there are some who are so selfish & blind to others in the World, they see nothing else. You each do an amazing job and an extremely honorable one. May God Bless You and you’re families for what you do each day to make our World a safer place for everyone of us and for the future of our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I remember 911 very clearly and I know the absolute terror we all felt that day and for a very long time afterwards. Without people like you, Australians, we would’ve been lost. Thank you for always being with America. We aren’t invisible and we are frightened. I read some of the comments and I’m shocked & disappointed in people. Their ignorance is extraordinary. There’s no Country that does this better than the Australians. You’re wonderful friends & true allies to Americans. Be safe and thank you. 🇺🇸 🇦🇺
Tell me you are racist without telling me you are racist.
9:56 Seem like an easy decision. She is unresponsive. She will understand a fine.
Nice to see again, ALYSHA, always Watching,Boarder Security “ , ‘caused of you. Be Safe always
Woahh..what a tough job! Salute to all these Boarders security🫡🫡🫡. And I love to watch this video..Thanks for sharing❤
Thanks for watching! What type of cases are your favorite?
Excellent job!!! 🇺🇸💕🙏✝🇦🇺
@@BorderSecurityOfficial My favorite are when customs discovers sneaky smugglers, travelers or by mail. The use of sniffer dogs
Why am I so addicted to this?
Because you're human liking the drama of other humans, got it!
Because it's good 😊 Thank you so much for your support!
When I travel i hate carrying anything so I only take my small carry on, he had a few liters of water lol.
Date no good because of "seeds" but she still ate some and kept the "seeds"
yes I was thinking that too. If she's eaten the seeds then they are going to appear sooner or later again, aren't they?
The water bottles were to prevent the honey from spoiling
@@ngocvuvan8110honey never spoils it will last longer than everyone on earth combined
And we wonder why they have to search us when we truthfully declare! No wonder!
The stupidity of sniffing at a just opened hermetically sealed container.
Did the Taiwanese just admitted she's is here for work on a tourist visit?
Did you look underneath those fingernails? Big enough to hide drugs!
When a woman cries it's an attempted emotional manipulation. Never give in to a woman who cries outside of a funeral or receiving catastrophic news.
Taiwanese , you meant Chinese?
@@espkh1549
But Taiwanese are not Chinese
@@yggvv7570 they look Chinese so they are all Chinese Buddy, ain’t got time to distinguish them. Besides check this on all the Fortune 500 websites, all of them define Taiwan is a part of china so go talk to them about it
Sometimes swab machine tester is not completely reliable.
That’s why they do many different types of Checks.
I have no patience for these people who bring food knowing it's not allowed. As for the woman whose eating the food😖😖😖😖😖😖
by letting her swallow the date seeds they just allowed an agricultural threat in.
You have to chew them to swallow them. A chewed up seed is not viable.
Ah. So insightful. Guess she was fasting for a day before she boarded the plane in order not to bring anything harmful to Australia.
relax! she's not gonna poop in the woods
😂
Can’t say for sure, she might poop in the woods, she from China. You don’t know how disgusting these people can be.
11:27 - 15:53
He isn’t able to keep the “cleaning powder”. Check the 3 results from the machine, which are positive for narcotics. Turns out he can’t keep one item, which is the honey.. ??? But can keep the “cleaning powder”???? Not detained or nothing?
They also let him keep the water
If you pay attention, second test shows the powder is sodium carbonate, not any narcotics. And trace swap is sensitive so even some inadvertent contact of narcotics can trigger an alarm. Water is, well, water.
The second test is more accurate as each substance has a unique profile as light hits it making it a 100% certain of a substance in the database
Thanks
Must be Holy Water the man was carrying back from overseas. 😂
😂😂😂
And korean laundry detergent, he was carrying. Seriously that's what the wife wanted him to bring??
@@ohhoho5876maybe his wife saw it on tiktok, the detergent do magic to get rid of the dirt🤣

I can understand the first girl not having plans ive travelled to many countries and have never made fwd plans, i prefer to "wing it"
I assume you had a return ticket, which she did not. They had reason to further investigate based solely on that.
@@montsesalazar6457 no I do not purchase a return ticket usually just one onwards leg
@@montsesalazar6457 no, usually just purchase one onwards leg when I get there I then make a decision where to go next
A child can legitimately say they didn't pack their own luggage, but I have never seen an adult not pack theirs and be completely unaware of what they were carrying.
oh dont be too surprised! my dad is always like that everytime he going somewhere that needed packing. My mom usually pack everything for him and he knows nothing in there.
@biwind8175 I am like your dad but with my sister. 😂 I have no idea what could be on the bag. Even if you tell me I will immediately forget. I can even go out with friend let them put stuff in my bag cause they don't have enough place if we buy to much thing (food, clothes...).
Sorry for the bad eng
Marriage can do that to you. My wife packs all my stuff when I travel for work, from suit to medicine to snacks. The only thing I packed myself is my phone and wallet because they’re in my jacket pockets.
My spouse picks out clothes, lays them on the bed, I do the packing. He would have no idea if I stashed anything in there.
last time i travelled internationally i had no idea what was in my bags, my gf packed both of them for me and i did not check her work.
So the custom just smells the powder without knowing what it is :o
He hopes it is something good
The taiwanese is a pros.. shes doesnt have hotel bookings because she stay with Mama san. And everynight with a different man...
Yup, it’s very common for escorts to have a designated place to stay. It’s pretty common in Asia too.
"I just dont like to make plan", i am not surprised as i kinda do the same. JUst book a motel as you are travell.
Clever aunty eat the red dates. See you tomorrow dates seed ahahah
Your first question should be, 'do you know for what items do you need to declare'?. If the passenger says, No, then, no need to ask the next question, 'do you have anything to declare'. There might be some innocent passengers who may not know for what items they need to declare!
When ive been on vacation is just to be chilling at the hotel and take each day one at a time. I dont plan ahead. 🤣
I love Alicia! She’s my favourite customs officer! 😅
it is weird that they find it weird that you can go away for a couple days and come back. some people have money you know, unlike her that makes minimum wage.
The official named Gail are really profesional hadling people that 1st time and hv communication challange. Good job 👍🏻
I hope that we can have this kind of video in our airport
Look at her ,, pretending not knowing anything about the rules 😐
The Asian man with his container of cleaner has obviously not heard of Ajax?
looks like Vanish lol
Do not let them have too much of EXCUSES!
Customs officer says this is serious, bringing food items from other countries, yet there is enough of it happening to make these kinds of shows in Australia, Canada, US, all over the world. If it really was serious they would just send the offenders back. How easy would it be to educate them on the plane over to avoid these hassles, don't declare food, you get sent back home.
Shouldn't the airport /customs find a translator to mediate the language barrier?
Airports or customs don't employ people to specifically translate stuff they usually have another passenger that can speak the language do the translation if necessary it's easier for Airports to get another passenger to translate than it is to hire someone just to translate things.
Some big airports do have some translators tho
@@Keyrose-my3xrit’s not their first language so there will be some miscommunication. It’s so much difficult for foreigners to quickly understand what it’s really going on.
@@josephbennett3482 They obviously have translators on speed dial for the intense one-on-one interviews.
They only understand and speak Engrish when the want to 😂😂😂
Did they just test the top layer of the washing powder only? What if the drugs are hidden at the bottom layer.
..
Good point
She can’t even answer questions properly
Those water bottles can actually be cheap freezing pack to make sure whatever they are bring stays cold for extended time in that styrofoam box. That's just a cheap chiller box.
Young lady’s answer wasn’t make sense at all. How you travel without hotel reservations and no plans? Also she doesn’t looks like a backpacker. (Gucci bag can’t tell it 😅) There’re many traveler come without plans but mostly they are rich and they can prove their money to spend but she couldn’t prove that.
The officers were kind and kindly compromise with them.
The red dry plum ..dices..has the kind no seeds inside those..those dices are cheap to Buy at the Asian groceries store ..that bag May cost $20 only
i love how spouses just throw their husbands/wives under the bus in these episodes!
Learnt an important lesson? And still grabs the bag? Not really learnt anything.
She is eating them to show the border police it is not poison. Cultural misunderstanding,
apparently she don’t understand English. She just say no for every questions the lady asked her
No, they all do the same thing every time. They are cunning and liars. Never trust them.
She shouldn't be allowed to travel if she's not willing to communicate, even at least putting half an effort to familiarize themselves with another country's law.
Even if true, shes still going to a different country and rules. Shes the guest and she should follow
Lol you’re another dork enabler
Are these officers allowed to search your phone?
This one Hiyah! Over Hiyaah! 😮
what short term job in Canada can give $7000/month, esp for one without work visa?
i understand one might not have a solid plan for travel, but at least would have booked accommodation for the first day and brought some money.
the amount of pills r very unusual as well.
so i agree with the immigration judgement that she is not a genuine tourist.
She admitted it, she’s AV model😅
One that works 20 hours a day probably! And, I bet they don’t ever get what they are promised. The immigration fraud is as much about the ‘immigrant’ being harmed.
It's in Canadian dollars, right? So maybe not what you are thinking. BTW, public school teachers make that much each in some parts of Canada.
I am pretty sure that the old chinese woman will snuggle more food and take her chance the next time again 😂
Salute to the Border forces! GOOD Job!
Why would you go to Australia with no return ticket and no accommodations..if ur intention is to stay and it’s a requirement then do it,save enough money to do so…sad
Easy to judge others when we don't empathise with other's financial situations. Young lady likely here to work short-term in the adult entertainment industry, so its common not to have these things.
Border Security are too lenient, need to increase fine.
Diet pills? SPEED
I’ve been to heaps of countries with no plans because I like the spontaneity and adventure. I Just feel lucky I wasn’t hassled by border patrol.
Never come between an elder Chinese woman and her cultural snacks 😅
@@CreateMakeEnterprise you assume they are educated to understand seeds from a simple snack can wreck havoc on local agriculture. Sometimes these customs are ridiculous… ok. I was forbidden from bringing commercial pork floss. Seriously it’s dried cooked pork that has been shredded.. how is it any danger is beyond my understanding.
As an asian i am so embarrassed. So many asians carrying undeclared goods.
Obviously, the elderly woman from China either doesn't understand English or pretends not to understand English. How is it that whoever she is staying with doesn't explain clearly to her what is allowed and what is not allowed into Australia ? Perhaps Australia government might want to consider having the customs declaration available in different languages.
Love it when the absolute accusatory border officials have to eat humble pie after being so sure they are dealing with drugs that are not there!
I would have watch her to eat all her food in front of me, and then charge her the fine 😂 and that Vietnamese guy just cracked me up 😂 acting all surprised when been told there was narcotic substances in the cleaning power, and as there is no drinking water in Australia he had to bring back from Vietnam
Why don't they have the rules about Australian laws, written in Chinese? That seems strange, at least to me. They should have them in Chinese airports, or wherever they issue visas.
The woman who had her visa cancelled, will make better plans, next time. I don't know how much she paid, for her 1 way ticket, but at least she won't have to pay for her flight home.
The food which they called Chinese date is very popular food sold every Chinese markets here in Canada.
The Chinese lady clearly doesn’t understand English apart from saying yes/no. They should have called an interpreter over
If being childish and spiteful were a sin..
Crying infront of the officer would not help.
Does this white powder have a scent lolol. At least they’re wearing gloves in this episode ffs
Not wearing air filter masks though and I have seen them sniff powders before lol
Imagine these days pulling in nostrils full of fentanyl ☠💀😈
