These people make a living of scamming other people for their money, this might seem harsh but I honestly wish these people were disposed of somehow , just remove them from the face of the planet .
The world would be better off without them . They are a waste of oxygen
Thank you honest guide 🙏for making the streets of Prague safer for everyone and cleaning the streets of these people . I will visit your beautiful country and city of Prague in June , I’ve already booked, a suprise trip for my girlfriend. ☺️👍 I will ask her to marry me , what better way than in beautiful Prague .
You got the balls of a bull. Good job. Congrats and stay safe
hi there, good work so far. When The Racoon says "esti nervos?", he is asking "are you angry?"
your legit batman!
Crazy that this ends up being the job of independent journalists to fix. The police or someone from the city should be handling these kind of scams happening every day in broad daylight.
You want the Police to do their job?
Most police officers are not bothered to catch the thieves, scammers, pickpockets in big cities. When people, mostly tourists, realise they have been scammed or their money have been stolen, the thieves, pickpockets or scammers have already disappeared and very few people would have recorded the faces of those scumbags like Janek. The victims will go to report it to the police officers at the police stations. Mostly their cases will not be resolved. I was mugged in Brussels once in 1999 and reported it to the police and never heard from them. Unless there were investigators like Janek who record evidence on video in all big cities, those low life scumbags will still linger and try to find targets in the big cities.
The police are busy with thier donut
@@MartintheTinman To be fair, the problem is not the police, but rather lax legislation, and the police cannot do more than they are allowed to. I as a tourist had a discussion with some very nice policemen in Prague, because I wanted to report a scam shop (double cigarette prices for tourists, which is illegal since prices are fixed by law), and they just sighed and said that sure, they can go there, but the shop will only get a fine which they can easily afford, and nothing else will happen.
@@Hybinette .
I love you. The fact he was not just charged but DEPORTED is AMAZING.
Yes, it was good, but because that guy is an EU citizens he only got a limited deportation order.
Deportation does not really work within the EU. There's no border checks. He is probably back on the streets of Prag!

It is disappointing to see that even after being caught, these scammers come back within a few days to the same place to scam other people. They are not afraid of law enforcement agencies.
I am a Romanian living here in Czech Republic for 10y and I am simply ashamed about these morons. Good job guys with exposing them. I'd wish the authorities would do a better job and better protect people from such scams.
Și eu sunt român și în fiecare august revin să vizitez Republica Cehă. Iubesc țara asta. Îmi place să respect legea, să arunc mizeria la coș și să respect oamenii.

As a Romanian(that lives, works and studies in Germany), I feel ashamed of these guys that scam everyone! It is not so good what happens! Hopefully, when I will visit Prague at the end of this month, I will not meet these scammers! I will thank you so much for exposing these dangers to the society!
Don't blame yourself,
why ashamed? do any german feel ashamed when some ‘german’ rapes allover germany and europe and comit terror attacks? dont be a liberal c’ck. you dont answer for them.
Don't bro, it's simply not your fault

I’m from Romania and I really want to thank you for your outstanding job ! I’m feeling embarrassed about this situation, but hopefully everything will be better soon . Also I have to admit that people must be more cautious, ALWAYS search about the local currency . Thanks again !!
Try to be aware of the clear distinction between gypsies and regular romanians. Nothing to be embarrassed about here, he is not one of us.
@@livolas if he has a Romanian ID he is Romaian, stop trying to divert the topic

truly
Can’t the tourist tell just by looking at him and his body language that he’s super dodgy?
Some people travel for the first time, or never had to deal with these type of scammers in some countries like in the Middle East or certain Asian/European countries where this specific type of crime is rare
i guess 99,9% of people do get it but there's always going to be someone who falls for this, my best estimate is that these guys stand on the corners from morning til night and only manage to scam a handful of people out of several hundreds that they approach
@@hiphoponeworld sounds about right
Well, these people deserve it. The scammer is doing them a service by reminding them they shouldn't be stupid. The likelihood of them getting scammed again is close to zero, so yeah. I got scammed once and I haven't been that stupid since then.

2 years is plenty enough for that scam. It is unlikely for him to return after the 2 years aswell, he will go to a different country for those 2 years and likely stay there aswell. Now whether he can get honest work over there - we will see.
@@ForumcoldiArchon You are a optimistic fool. People like his don't change. They should be permanently banned.
What a friendly fella he seems like someone whose never shy of a civilized conversation to sort things out
As a romanian, im truly ashamed. You’re doing good work, i hope some day your country will be free of people like him.
They say you can't judge the book by its cover but this guy has scammer written all over him from head to toe.

Don't get yourself killed, mate! You never know with these gangs, sooner or later they'll take revenge. You should be awarded as honorary citizen for all you've done already for Prague! Keep up the good work 👍 and stay safe.
If they somehow hurt Janek then they gona feel street war, scammers dont know where is street police camers and where is not but locals know.
@@LofD989 This specific gang in Prague, look like a bunch of doofs, I feel like a group of roadmen could scare them off lmao. I sure wouldn't wanna be poking my nose in any Romanian Mafia business tho, because you never know how deep these things go, what kind of connections they may have, and what they are capable of. They look like most of them are reject mafia members who could never fit in back at home, but thats me guessing at why it's up to these old dudes to scrounge pennies from tourists. But yeah gang affairs are usually not something you should interfere with lightly because even the worst ones will have a problem with that. I would suggest he carries a gun or some shit but it's Prague so maybe a can of pepper spray should do the job on these buffoons.
@@LofD989 The locals dident do shit when he was bitten so i dont think so.
No one will kill him. They are cowards, they only roar at intimidation. Most of them are Gypsies from Strehaia, Olt county.
pssh, if the cities really cared, they would do something about these scammers. hate to say it, but this guy really does just make their governments look bad by allowing these legal loopholes. they only do something about it when this guy shows them to the *world*
I hope that you do not get seriously hurt in your efforts to catch the scammers!
Thank you my friend , you doing something that is meaningful - all the best to you!
Janek cleaning the streets of Prague one racoon at a time haha
These guys are literally roaches that never die, despite being exposed multiple times yet they still continue doing their dirty tricks! Kudos to the Honest team for their effort by trying their best to eliminate these pests, as it sure isn’t an easy job!
Roaches can be eliminated very easily.
Don't ever compare humans to vermin. Talking about 'eliminating' people is really not a good standard of morality to uphold.

they are gypsies not romanians.
@@johnnywalker3862 So, Roma.
the lack of any action against these scammers operating right outside businesses, and on public cameras, really really smells like they give a percentage to the cops in order to let them keep operating.
Sad truth is the police gets tired of arresting the same people over and over again and seeing them just continue .. Thats how much of this street crap scamming keeps going on . Not enough police ressources to keep them locked up again and again and the officers gets tired of doing much about them because they dont get much punishment anyways at the end of the day
Modern day police don't prevent crimes, they react to them and are understaffed as well
I wonder about the actual businesses they operate in front of, surely they know the score.
this is nice thing your teams are doing. Well done!

There are many other honest, dedicated people in Praha exposing these useless crooks and calling the police on them. Janek and Honza are protected by the citizens of Praha.

Cheers , as You hace been making progress on reducing this scams! Thanks for your Job.
Janek & Honza, you guys outdid yourselves this time!
Unfortunately, we can probably expect a "Return Of The Raccoon" follow up in 2024.
Judging by the raccoon’s physical state at the age of 48, heart disease and diabetes will take him out of the game before 2024. I think Janek and Honza should be paid by the government for the work they do 👍
Love this series keep it going - it’s like need for speed most wanted but on scammers
really love what you doing, you are tough. Keep on going
Great work 👏
I've been watching your incredible videos for the longest time and am still wondering why city officials and police forces seem to be doing nothing to help stem these ongoing problems. I'm always scared you & Honza get hurt. Please be careful ❤
I feel the same. They are low life scumbags and they may attack Janek as they have nothing to lose.
Agree. Bring a body guard. You never know.
I have yet to found a city where authorities actually do something about such scammers 🤷♂️
