I work for FedEx I deliver to a k9 training building one time the trainer let her two dogs come at me barking and they were not cute and I never go inside the building even if when she said stop they did immediately maybe next round they won’t
They are super cute. What I don't get is why that guy risked so much for bringing in such a tiny amount of cocaine? Like, okay, I don't know anything about cocaine, but it seems to me that that was just for personal use, he wasn't selling it or anything. So why take the risk?? Not that I'm saying it's okay to use it. It's not. But, like, I get why smugglers and dealers risk getting caught, it's cause they're gonna make a bunch of money. But that guy, he wasn't gonna make money, seems like it was just a bit for his personal use, so.... ....so why take that risk? He had everything to lose, and nothing to gain.
What was suspicious was that when she was stopped for questioning, the guy just tried to walk by, leaving her, although he said they were traveling together. You don't leave someone you're traveling with when they're being questioned.
And the rucksack that happened to have the drugs was hidden under the exam table hoping they would overlook it during the search. Lol. They’re guilty AF. Lol😂
He obviously knew.. not only tried leaving the bag on the floor hoping she wouldn't notice, but remember he tried leaving passed his gf when she first got stopped
If someone takes your personal belongings from you in an airport, only to return them, you go straight to the nearest police or security officer and report it! You don't just think "that was odd, and my bag feels heavier - probably nothing".

@@pontifixmax what's your point? I'm saying it's odd to suggest there will be consequences for doing something a second time that was just confirmed to be legal
Well, if their defense plan is to claim that the drugs were planted they need to establish that early to appear as credible as possible. If they don't say that until later it''s going to look even more like they just made it up
I had a LOT of tape on my laptop and honestly, I'd totally understand if they deemed that suspicious. Especially since the battery was bulging a good 2 inches.
The woman was like, "I didn't do anything" Yeah! She's correct! Her husband did though and he kept trying to walk around her, each time they were stopped. Unfortunately, you are "guilty" by association.

Yes, it's very different going through customs and immigration in the US vs the UK, and the east coast of the USA is the worst - especially New York and New Jersey. The officers there are generally extremely rude and impatient and try to intimidate people, and not just ones they suspect might be carrying drugs, even in the way they direct everybody on which lines to join.
@@timhick6 No man, I've traveled all over the world and in terms of how they treat you USA customs and immigration officers are the worst I've come across.
Serious lawyer question. When UK law enforcement keeps saying, "It may harm your defense if you don't answer my questions...", does that mean that guilt can be inferred from silence in the UK?
probably more lenient, an incentive for you if you cooperate, saves tax dollars to get you sorted and out of the court system then into prison or out of their hair. Considering this is a purely socialist system that's paid with tax dollars, these small time saving implements probably matter more than in a business driven environment like in the USA, where you can just pass on the buck down the line in the name of business.
Even in the U.S. an accused defendant who waits for months or years before bringing forth an alibi or "innocent explanation" that he knew about and could very easily have presented to investigators much earlier will have made the last-minute story seem a bit like a desperate lie to a reasonable judge or jury, thus harming the defendant's defense. The UK explains this in their version of our Miranda warning.
@@johnstuartsmith Sure. Got no problem with that. But what of the defendant that actually invokes right to remain silent (i.e., silent till the end)? A defendant that invokes his right to silence and then changes his mind is one thing, a defendant who actually listens to his lawyer and actually understands the right to remain silent is another.
@@TeamOT as example, if asked “Is this your bag?” and you decide to remain silent, you pretty much lose any credibility in later claiming it was not. Remaining silent does not make sense when exculpatory information could be given then and there.
If you pack your backpack and it ways 300 grams and somene at the airport in st Lucia takes your belonings and when you get it back that backpack suddenly weighs 3,5 kilograms,you should be able to notice the difference in weight...So he plays a dumb smugler
1. 'Did you pack the bags yourselves?' Always followed immediately by: 2.'So you're aware of the contents of the bags?' As though the two propositions are naturally, automatically equivalent. They're not, and they know they're not, and this is a trap. Packing your bags, and being aware of what's in them hours later, after they've been out of your possession for hours and handled by complete strangers, are not the same things at all. If you automatically and carelessly answer 'yes' to the second question, and then they find bad things in your bags, you have already compromised your position by acknowledging, 'for the record', that 'you knew it was there'. This is exactly the game they're playing, and exactly why. But heaven help you if you start to equivocate on the second question (as you should); get ready to be 'taught a lesson!' It's not any accident that they pair these questions so directly, so smoothly, always (even implying that they're equivalent propositions by linking them together with '...so...'), and I don't know why they're even allowed to do it. They shouldn't be. It's sheer entrapment.
Lol! You've got to hand it to these Brits, they're so polite! "I'm arresting you for importation of cocaine please come with me" in the US it's a different story..."GET ON THE FLOOR! WOMP!" 🤣
I saw a video where a cop shot a undercover cop when said cop saw the undercover cops gun, he Screamed “ Gun!! “ and shot the undercover cop even tho the undercover cop was handcuffed in the back of a car, fortunately the undercover guy survived, and he sued the city for getting shot, he won the lawsuit, just American cop things
I have a good friend who travels all over. She always short cuts lengthy exams by requesting the body scan and treats the customs officials with kindness and humor. The result is a fast process time and a fun experience. "Look ! You can see the penny I swallowed at two years of age!" Attitude is everything!
These pr ogrammes are deeply satisfying and reassuring on many levels . The damage and destruction of lives on so many levels by these substances is appalling
If the governments in every country’s in the world would not play an important roll in those drugs...we can win the war on drugs. Easy like Portugal did it...simple. We can’t talk about freedom or free people until it is a 1000 or more things you can get arrested for! Our - Governments only job is to invent more laws to rob the people!
I don’t think it’s greed as much as it’s desperation! Everyone knows it’s against the law yet they still try knowing they may end up in prison! And sometimes cartels will find out everything about you and your family and threaten their death if you don’t smuggle for them! Idk about the UK but it happens a lot here in the states!
It's ridiculous for them to even comment on people seeming nervous and agitated, most people will feel nervous or agitated when stopped for additional screening by authorities. No matter how pleasant or casual the officer tries to make the interaction you know they didn't stop you because they're trying to make new friends!
Well since these were filmed decades ago or longer. I think UK airports have evolved with newer technology to help with half their jobs. Although I don’t agree with their intrusive questionings.
Sort of agree. Wouldn’t ruin someone’s life over a first smuggling, but the amount of crime, broken families, extra hospital bills, jail from theft to support habits, etc. from drugs is huge - it is not a “victimless” crime. The smugglers don’t care if the drugs they carry cost others their lives.
To the OP: Well, not entirely true. His 'life' in Thailand is, more than likely, over. Not sure how he is going to answer the local immigration and customs questionnaire where it asks if you've ever been arrested. Of course the follow-up to a 'yes' response is, on what charge? Unlike the UK, in Thailand, the possession of any quantity (no matter how small) of a Category II drug (which includes cocaine) will earn the offender a 5 million baht fine (over GBP100k) and anywhere from 1 year to life in the Bangkok Hilton. If the smuggler is permitted back into The Kingdom he will be a 'person of interest' and will be under surveillance by the RTP (Royal Thai Police).
@@maifantasia3650 do they ask upon entry? Do u need an ACRO for Thailand.

@@112chapters3 - it is a condition of entry, for most countries, to declare any arrests and the reason, even if the person was acquitted. Providing false information can result in (one, or all) fines, gaol, deportation and blacklisting.
What if smugglers are working in group who are handling the luggage depy at airports and have connection with another smugglers working in same position at different airports, still they can hide a drugs or any illegal items in any of a innocent travellers bags ?
These customs officers are out of control. Everyone KNOWS that huge packages of drugs do occasionally jump into people’s bags. Unbeknownst to the traveler.
Fortunately this was before fent hit the scene majorly as it is today, this was roughly filmed in 2008-2010 roughly. So before any acknowledgment was made

Nearly 22 years ago I traveld on a flight from Zurich to Genoa (Italy) and was detained at the airport for a long while. I originally had a ticket to fly Zurich to Florence but had to change it to Genoa since I was done with work in Zurich a day earlier than expected. And on that particular day the Florence flight was sold out or cancelled. So I took a flight to Genoa and planned to take a train to Pisa and then to Florence. The officers in Genoa thought is was unusual for an Indian national to land in Genoa from Zurich. They first took nearly 1.5 hours to clear my immigration. I got very restless and a bit aggressive. Then they let me go but detained me at the customs and seached my luggage thoroughly. They found nothing and the office told me I can repack my stuff. Then the officer told his boss that he let me go but came back with him. The senior officer searched again and took out all my stuff and did a micro search. Finally he said I could go. But I asked him to repack my stuff. He was shocked. He said he wouldn't do it. I told him once I repacked but then they couldn't do it as many times as they wish. The officers were very surprised but the senior asked his junior to repack. After coming out of the airport I remained just outside the customs office for nearly half an hour making phone calls from an airport phone. The guys were looking at me from inside and talking something. The junior customs officer was repacking I asked him why I was being treated like this. He said the immigration thought it was strange that I took Genoa as port of entry instead of Rome or Florence or Milan.
If they just stopped with this dumb drug prohibition half of the customs and airport security work would simply cease to exist. We could invest the money in better help and prevention work for addicts.
To be "on the hunt" is just wrong. Do your job and if who you search doesn't have drugs, that should be good! Sadly, this agent is happy for the find! 😒
Me at the airport noticing a customers officer and having a quick question: "Hey do you have the time"? Customs officer: "The time is 12:11AM, and I am arresting you on suspicion o--oops... sorry, force of habit!"
Feel stricken and sick for addicts instead. Smugglers don't give a damn what happens to drug users and the more coke and heroin that gets through to the market, the cheaper the stuff becomes, so more people can buy dangerous drugs than before.
The sentence before that stated that the guy doing the swap has yet to find a smuggler so I don't think it was personal to the guy that was being searched.
Few yrs ago leaving jamaica i was stoped in kingston out of my 5 family members,they said i fit the description which was pretty female dressed really well.I told them my mom check everything we dnt take things from anyone but my mom,sister,aunt i said those two little boys are 2 reason i would never be into smuggling drugs we could have died during childbirth .So nothing could make me never see them again no amount of money.
Well, 1,500 kilos of cocaine has a street value of about eighty million dollars straight up (almost 60 million pounds). That's just monetary value; the purpose of combating drugs like cocaine goes beyond the effects to the economy. People will die / be harmed / become addicted from use. Between that, and the eighty million a year, I'd say it's worth it. The cost to society from turning a blind eye to a ton-and-a-half of cocaine is too high. Not to mention that the ton-and-a-half would become many hundreds of tons, once the dealers knew that customs didn't care.
Customs never sets people up... but when I had expensive bottles of whiskey stolen on three occasions.. I lost my faith in that. Fortunately, the second and third time were expensive bottles but filled with urine and other liquid saturated cheap booze.
The chef in Thailand …. How do you explain cocaine on your toothbrush? Lol. Frankly, in the 80’s everyone in the chef world were users!!! Probably hasn’t changed.
Once I was asked by UK customs to give my phone so they could check if I got the right terminal. The customs person was reading my personal messages. I asked for the manager to complain and I had to wait 2 hours for him. I said they have to provide the right equipment to let customs do their job and not use my phone instead, certainly not to read my personal messages, that is breach of privacy. The customs person (female) threatened not to let me enter the terminal if I did not provide my phone. Scumbags, all of them. I barely catched up with my flight home.

About 3 years ago I arrived at Dublin from Turkey and the man next to me in the plane had some kind of fit, it was scary. I was still shaken up while going through Customs, they thought I was a smuggler. A man stopped me in the Green channel and asked me about cigarettes, I truthfully answered about 30, he was so rude, just indicated to put my luggage through the x ray machine, then when it was negative just walked away. I did not know what to do, so a lady customs officer said it was ok and I could go. It was the last straw, a long long day and I dissolved into tears outside the airport, a very nice man, in uniform, was so kind. I had an internal flight in Turkey then hours at Istanbul before the flight to Dublin and I have always been treated with kindness at Dublin, this was a real shock. And I made it to my Dads' on the other side of the country, have not been back since because of Covid, Dublin does not feel like a welcoming place any more, I am sad because I was born there, brought up in London. I will avoid Dublin and do Shannon or Knock in future. Sad when you don't want to go back to where you were born!
Okay so your saying a customs officer that probably had a long day too makes home just not feel like home anymore ? Mustn’t have been much of one to start with ☘️
Very sad that people do not treat travellers who are their customers with decency and respect. I think you should write to the head of Customs at Dublin and express your disappointment and criticise their lack of manners, Anne.
Did this dude just say he has cocaine in his underwear he might as well say come on and arrest me lol 😂 😂😂😂😂wow fix it Jesus and please take the wheel !!!!!! I love this show !!!!!

@@djmaster1995 it was stated in the commentary to the clip.
@@pontifixmax what's your point? I'm saying it's odd to suggest there will be consequences for doing something a second time that was just confirmed to be legal
It's not what the officers said... it's what the tv program added
The couple charged with importing cocaine don't seem to comprehend the benefit of maintaining their right to remain silent.
"Just because I have the right to remain silent doesn't mean I have to exercise that right!"
Well, if their defense plan is to claim that the drugs were planted they need to establish that early to appear as credible as possible. If they don't say that until later it''s going to look even more like they just made it up
When a customs agent tells a passenger the time, they know what time it is.
Lmfao it's so true. As soon as they start reciting what time it is, im like "oooohhhhh hes in trouble now"
I had a LOT of tape on my laptop and honestly, I'd totally understand if they deemed that suspicious. Especially since the battery was bulging a good 2 inches.
Please dont ever bring anything with a swollen battery on a plane….
The woman was like, "I didn't do anything" Yeah! She's correct! Her husband did though and he kept trying to walk around her, each time they were stopped. Unfortunately, you are "guilty" by association.
Shes in cahoots. Shes probably the brains of the operation
@@paulj.stavrou4332 😂
You saw the tracks on her arms? But a good lawyer can get her off if the husband takes the full. Just say its his and she didn't know.
Dude they said clear as day she is a former heroin addict, the way she was moving plus declared she needed her "medication" after the found the coke aka her "medication" 🤣
You can’t be for real, she has tweaker sores all over her arms. She 100% is getting paid to do it also.

just throw it in the backpack "well that seems about right" xD
Lol. Proves the likelihood that both are addicts, with ZERO common sense.
She is covered in scabs not a good sign, then the boyfriend has all that in his bag. She is not as innocent as she claims

@@timhick6 no, uk police and customs do acually treat you like a human being and with respect.
@@user-oh1bb2pc7c no. Just look at how UK customs treat travelers from India😂
Yes, it's very different going through customs and immigration in the US vs the UK, and the east coast of the USA is the worst - especially New York and New Jersey. The officers there are generally extremely rude and impatient and try to intimidate people, and not just ones they suspect might be carrying drugs, even in the way they direct everybody on which lines to join.
@@timhick6 No man, I've traveled all over the world and in terms of how they treat you USA customs and immigration officers are the worst I've come across.
“are they drugs?” 🤣
Serious lawyer question. When UK law enforcement keeps saying, "It may harm your defense if you don't answer my questions...", does that mean that guilt can be inferred from silence in the UK?
probably more lenient, an incentive for you if you cooperate, saves tax dollars to get you sorted and out of the court system then into prison or out of their hair. Considering this is a purely socialist system that's paid with tax dollars, these small time saving implements probably matter more than in a business driven environment like in the USA, where you can just pass on the buck down the line in the name of business.
Even in the U.S. an accused defendant who waits for months or years before bringing forth an alibi or "innocent explanation" that he knew about and could very easily have presented to investigators much earlier will have made the last-minute story seem a bit like a desperate lie to a reasonable judge or jury, thus harming the defendant's defense. The UK explains this in their version of our Miranda warning.
@@johnstuartsmith Sure. Got no problem with that. But what of the defendant that actually invokes right to remain silent (i.e., silent till the end)? A defendant that invokes his right to silence and then changes his mind is one thing, a defendant who actually listens to his lawyer and actually understands the right to remain silent is another.
@@TeamOT as example, if asked “Is this your bag?” and you decide to remain silent, you pretty much lose any credibility in later claiming it was not. Remaining silent does not make sense when exculpatory information could be given then and there.
They can actually use your lack of willingness to consent to a search as "probable cause" to conduct a search without your consent in Britain.
Every smuggler will always say they are innocent at first ….😂😂😂
In prison they are innocent too 😂

Hey lady! If you are unemployed, escorting is not a side job, it's your primary job.
That's a disgusting statement.
This comment is spot on
@@CorgiDaddy2 why is it's true
1. 'Did you pack the bags yourselves?'
Always followed immediately by:
2.'So you're aware of the contents of the bags?'
As though the two propositions are naturally, automatically equivalent.
They're not, and they know they're not, and this is a trap.
Packing your bags, and being aware of what's in them hours later, after they've been out of your possession for hours and handled by complete strangers, are not the same things at all.
If you automatically and carelessly answer 'yes' to the second question, and then they find bad things in your bags, you have already compromised your position by acknowledging, 'for the record', that 'you knew it was there'. This is exactly the game they're playing, and exactly why.
But heaven help you if you start to equivocate on the second question (as you should); get ready to be 'taught a lesson!'
It's not any accident that they pair these questions so directly, so smoothly, always (even implying that they're equivalent propositions by linking them together with '...so...'), and I don't know why they're even allowed to do it.
They shouldn't be. It's sheer entrapment.
This a manifesto, much?
Good comment. Have you personally been through such an experience? Not trying to be a smart a@$, just curious that's all.
Lol! You've got to hand it to these Brits, they're so polite! "I'm arresting you for importation of cocaine please come with me" in the US it's a different story..."GET ON THE FLOOR! WOMP!" 🤣

"Oops shot ya by mistake ..."
I saw a video where a cop shot a undercover cop when said cop saw the undercover cops gun, he Screamed “ Gun!! “ and shot the undercover cop even tho the undercover cop was handcuffed in the back of a car, fortunately the undercover guy survived, and he sued the city for getting shot, he won the lawsuit, just American cop things

These pr ogrammes are deeply satisfying and reassuring on many levels . The damage and destruction of lives on so many levels by these substances is appalling

It's ridiculous for them to even comment on people seeming nervous and agitated, most people will feel nervous or agitated when stopped for additional screening by authorities.

You don't know how much he may have smuggled before.
Sort of agree. Wouldn’t ruin someone’s life over a first smuggling, but the amount of crime, broken families, extra hospital bills, jail from theft to support habits, etc. from drugs is huge - it is not a “victimless” crime. The smugglers don’t care if the drugs they carry cost others their lives.
To the OP: Well, not entirely true. His 'life' in Thailand is, more than likely, over. Not sure how he is going to answer the local immigration and customs questionnaire where it asks if you've ever been arrested. Of course the follow-up to a 'yes' response is, on what charge?
Unlike the UK, in Thailand, the possession of any quantity (no matter how small) of a Category II drug (which includes cocaine) will earn the offender a 5 million baht fine (over GBP100k) and anywhere from 1 year to life in the Bangkok Hilton. If the smuggler is permitted back into The Kingdom he will be a 'person of interest' and will be under surveillance by the RTP (Royal Thai Police).
@@maifantasia3650 do they ask upon entry? Do u need an ACRO for Thailand. Or as he has clearly been residing in Thailand for a while may he just not get his police clearance from the Thai police where he will have no record. I hope for the latter.

Nearly 22 years ago I traveld on a flight from Zurich to Genoa (Italy) and was detained at the airport for a long while.
I originally had a ticket to fly Zurich to Florence but had to change it to Genoa since I was done with work in Zurich a day earlier than expected.
And on that particular day the Florence flight was sold out or cancelled.
So I took a flight to Genoa and planned to take a train to Pisa and then to Florence.
The officers in Genoa thought is was unusual for an Indian national to land in Genoa from Zurich.
They first took nearly 1.5 hours to clear my immigration.
I got very restless and a bit aggressive.
Then they let me go but detained me at the customs and seached my luggage thoroughly.
They found nothing and the office told me I can repack my stuff. Then the officer told his boss that he let me go but came back with him.
The senior officer searched again and took out all my stuff and did a micro search. Finally he said I could go.
But I asked him to repack my stuff. He was shocked. He said he wouldn't do it.
I told him once I repacked but then they couldn't do it as many times as they wish.
The officers were very surprised but the senior asked his junior to repack.
After coming out of the airport I remained just outside the customs office for nearly half an hour making phone calls from an airport phone.
The guys were looking at me from inside and talking something.
The junior customs officer was repacking I asked him why I was being treated like this.
He said the immigration thought it was strange that I took Genoa as port of entry instead of Rome or Florence or Milan.
Illegals are a big problem in Europe
If they just stopped with this dumb drug prohibition half of the customs and airport security work would simply cease to exist. We could invest the money in better help and prevention work for addicts.
She was so nervous, her white skirt turned into jeans.

Not true. If they are innocent there is no need to be nervous.
Part of script.
Yep. Needed to test that skirt too.
To be "on the hunt" is just wrong. Do your job and if who you search doesn't have drugs, that should be good!
Sadly, this agent is happy for the find! 😒
well, a find is a find...but a not find could be missed drugs or whatever.
You singled us out! Yes, well probably because a dog sniffed your bag on the belt behind the baggage hall.
Dogs aren’t always accurate. They can sniff out food and show indications of drugs.
Hahaha when the guy admitted to hiding cocaine in his underwear and the agents like mmm yup okay 😂 TIME FOR ARREST IS…

Customs officer: "The time is 12:11AM, and I am arresting you on suspicion o--oops... sorry, force of habit!"
At least the dog was having fun 😁👍🏻
That's one reason I enjoy watching these programs - happy, excited dogs at work.
I am, also addicted to crime programs. I can't help but feel stricken and sick for the smugglers
Feel stricken and sick for addicts instead. Smugglers don't give a damn what happens to drug users and the more coke and heroin that gets through to the market, the cheaper the stuff becomes, so more people can buy dangerous drugs than before.
I feel angry.
« They found coco but not cocaine » 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hearing the words "bend over" would be enough for me not to smuggle drugs.

15:18 “disappointingly this passengers story sounds plausible” are you kidding me? Did he really just say that????
I thought I was the only one that caught that. Disgusting to say the least. So they are actually hoping to catch people.
The sentence before that stated that the guy doing the swap has yet to find a smuggler so I don't think it was personal to the guy that was being searched.

Did he say that only 1500 kilos are found per year? Thats it, dude it cost way more to employ all these people to just find 1500 kilos
haha... that's because it's a free trade...shame
Well, 1,500 kilos of cocaine has a street value of about eighty million dollars straight up (almost 60 million pounds). That's just monetary value; the purpose of combating drugs like cocaine goes beyond the effects to the economy. People will die / be harmed / become addicted from use. Between that, and the eighty million a year, I'd say it's worth it. The cost to society from turning a blind eye to a ton-and-a-half of cocaine is too high. Not to mention that the ton-and-a-half would become many hundreds of tons, once the dealers knew that customs didn't care.

About 3 years ago I arrived at Dublin from Turkey and the man next to me in the plane had some kind of fit, it was scary.
I was still shaken up while going through Customs, they thought I was a smuggler. A man stopped me in the Green channel and asked me about cigarettes, I truthfully answered about 30, he was so rude, just indicated to put my luggage through the x ray machine, then when it was negative just walked away.
I did not know what to do, so a lady customs officer said it was ok and I could go.
It was the last straw, a long long day and I dissolved into tears outside the airport, a very nice man, in uniform, was so kind.
I had an internal flight in Turkey then hours at Istanbul before the flight to Dublin and I have always been treated with kindness at Dublin, this was a real shock.
And I made it to my Dads' on the other side of the country, have not been back since because of Covid, Dublin does not feel like a welcoming place any more, I am sad because I was born there, brought up in London. I will avoid Dublin and do Shannon or Knock in future. Sad when you don't want to go back to where you were born!
Okay so your saying a customs officer that probably had a long day too makes home just not feel like home anymore ? Mustn’t have been much of one to start with ☘️
Also you said this was three years ago how was that because of COVID ? Make it make sense 🤌🏼
Very sad that people do not treat travellers who are their customers with decency and respect. I think you should write to the head of Customs at Dublin and express your disappointment and criticise their lack of manners, Anne.
Sounds like you are way too sensitive, even if he was rude. How about cutting people a little slack. They deal with annoyed passengers every day.
