"She's too calm",.......how is someone suppose to act when they are innocent ?......officer you're doing your job but not everyone is a criminal.
That comment irritated me too!
Representation was key...anybody else (them) would've detained her just because she wasn't admitting & the drugs were unidentifiable at the time.
💯Facts
Im super positive they don't like it when they can't find anything after detaining someone! "God complex"

that Vietnam wife and husband are a real team, bro started coughing after wife said "my husband have a cough" lol they tried it
Keep on rock'n even when things get tuff.
Hahahaa... I think that's where the cough song of kidz Daniel came from coz the cop finally said .. okay go👉

Fake it till u make it! 😂
She got her Burberry jacket on you can tell.

😂😂
I get they’re doing their job but sometimes people really are calm because they don’t have anything to hide and are innocent.
Right! Ironically, when I was unfairly profiled by customs, I was p!ssed and they said that made me look guilty. smh The customs treat black women like they are guilty first then innocent (with no apology given) last.

Female officer made me so mad. Why is she so disrespectful to people. Not everyone is a criminal girl. Calm down
Exactly she was extremely rude and disrespectful. She doesn’t need to be working with people, put her in the back room or something
I agree! She tried to seem so hardass as if she was going to catch this normal woman traveling for her business with tons of cocaine on the way back and the look of embarrassment on her face for wasting not only the woman’s time who was traveling but her colleagues as well. Definitely not her first time for falsely accusing a traveler for bringing in contraband. I know she wanted to show out for the cameras and it backfired so well 😂 all of the travelers story checked out.
I agree
I agree she and that Rimola guy seem off
She's on a smugglers payroll bet

He was the only one who did a good job.

The young female officer looked ticked off that she had misjudged the clothes buyer 🤣
LOL.. I said the same thing.. Its like she wanted to pin something on her anything. One of those false resisting arrest charges.
The young female officers are the most unpleasant, it’s as if they go above and beyond to prove themselves and we suffer for it.

It seems like that Pupo officer had a personal issue with that shopper 😂 😂
Some probably just let the job go to their head and like to act tough, which isn’t necessary.
I don't think that you understand their job. They are there to catch smugglers, so that means they have to inspect, talk to, search as many people as possible. They are trained to look for certain cues which is typical of smugglers. They weren't targeting her until she was vague about the money she had ad who paid for her ticket.
I have a real problem with these “agents” that seem disappointed when a persons story checks out and they weren’t doing anything wrong… that isn’t what the jobs about
You're so emotionally unstable that you "Have a real problem" when someone on TV "Seems disappointed"? Wow!

She's too calm? That was perfect, as they always say they are suspicious because they are too nervous. Sounds like she's innocent. I don't book my hotels when I travel; I don't know exactly what time I will be at a certain town.
Courtesy of these 2 officers. Can't say they're not thorough. They didn't catch the big fish they were hoping for though. Maybe less stereotyping every now and then
The look on the face of the latina customs officer when the business tourist/passenger/traveler wasn't guilty of anything. The passenger was in her eyes guilty (when she had nothing to be guilty of) and had to prove herself to be innocent. The women just came for business and was judged to MUST be guilty of god know something. Watching it I felt so uneasy how she was harassed. Don't get me wrong. I know that their job is to control overseas passengers and to be firm when dealing with people. I appreciate their job! But they also must be polite, patient and helpful. Today you are the controller and the next you are the traveler.
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Romans 3:21-24 💙✨
Why would you appreciate these losers jobs? They get paid to “look hard” for drugs that should be decriminalized in the first place and we wouldn’t have this “problem” to begin with
she was defintely profiled
This cute latina customer officer. I tell her my intentions why I come to the US in spanish😅😅😅
The fact that we get free documentaries on CZcams by National Geographic is truly a gift. 👏👏👏
By the way, may I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions.
Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔
In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people.
Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 😔
I mean.. this isn't a documentary. This is akin to reality TV.

Well said from Tahiti
lmao
She appreciated it so much ! I’m glad you have her break a lot of ppl are not like this !!
It bothers me so much when police get angry that they don’t find it incriminating. In this case, perhaps it’s because they know that they missed the actual smuggler by focusing on the wrong person. That’s if I have them benefit if the doubt.
I feel like the "Innocent lady" that didn't know about her suitcase was actually just there to distract law enforcement for a prolonged search, while 10s of other actual smugglers slipped past.
You may be right, she was just a distraction

😂😂😂😂😂😂 nah frfr like how you expect her to act she didn’t do noting wrong she was just mad shawty was not acting wild and crazy no attitude
Nope they play dumb cause they know it's a form of one of the contraband that's used to cut other drugs and they know it it's the lowest form until the police find out

Inflated ego causes inability to take accountability for a wrongful belief. These people are some of the worst kinds of "law enforcement" to deal with because they're so obsessed with the little power they get on the clock.

Love this show
Some of the Customs officers exhibit a lot of sarcasm and "attitude" toward the travelers. There's no excuse for that behavior.
Especially that one officer who was dealing with the Asian women having neocodin...he was moving his index finger to grab her attention towards him...that was too much.
For real....I cringe at some of their behavior
Beta comment
Exactly!!!!!!! INNOCENT, until proven guilty. you know they are only showing us the ones they found drugs on, and one lady they didn't. But she said 1 out of 10. so 9 people get treated wrongly. (ten really, they need to presume innocense)
Next time I meet a cop not being a sarcastic wiseguy I'll put it in my dairy lol
The poor lady from trinidad and tobago just trying to make an honest living by purchasing clothes the latina lady was just profiling without any concrete reason stay strong trini and may your business succeed

Welcome to America!
EXACTLY ❗️ She should be written up. I want to know what she said to her coworker in Spanish on camera. I don't think my tax money should be employee someone like her.
I've never felt more publicly shamed than I have felt watching how the US deals with non nationals compared to other nations. Canada has struck me as setting a hard line. In the US the agents are cruel. These videos compiled strike me as the best case scenario. Not a good look.
I've heard Canadian CPB are also very intense. Have you seen the show Canadian Border Force?
Lol there trying to stop contraband - you can’t be nice and have people take advantage of you.
What nonsense! The US agents are just as nice as any other country or much more professional. Have you seen how they deal with you in Iran, China, India, Italy, France? Check them out. Be proud you have effective and courteous agents.

As an African you can find yourself behind the bars easily when u travel there is always a family member asking u to carry something for them they’ll give you a bag well packed sometimes even taped you won’t think they might do such thing to you and it’s really hard to say no
I would not accept it for security reasons
@sunsetblessing4106 yes that’s the right thing to do
I’m Central American and our family customs are similar, we can’t say no to an elder so now I tell them “it’s illegal for me to take anything packaged and it has to be in a clear bag or else I can’t take it” which made my family not ask me at all or they send really small items now.
I remember my mom, dad and aunts back in the day brining lots of items for people to bring back as gifts etc. now my advice to them is to not bring anything back they haven’t packed and open themselves. Personally when I travel overseas I pack all my own stuff and throughly inspect my luggage for any tempering an hour before I leave and hold my own luggage from the room and put in in the trunk. I help with the removal as well and keep it close to me at all times at the airport.
Yeah every time we go to Rwanda family asks us to take stuff for them
I am so happy to see that the officers give allowance for those people who don't genuinely know the stuff is prohibited.
You mean letting them in the country with it and just telling them not to do it again?

Nice job
Very good documentary
The female patrol officer and her partner came off hella arrogant and aggressive towards the Trinidadian woman. We get it. You have to do you job, but geez! Show some respect too! Talking to your partner in another language in the woman's presence.
These folk letting a badge n gun get to their heads . What's new?
totally agree, the power gets in their heads for sure!
They thought they could intimidate her…..
I thought exactly the same thing. I was so glad she came for her return flight and she had stock and receipts. Full respect to Miss Trini cos she handled herself with dignity
Who are they too call here daughter?
Thats how most u.s. customs behave. Very arrogant.
This should be a teachable moment for the officers in the Trinidad passenger scenario. They need to sit in a room and watch their behavior and then be retrained. This is not a cartoon. It is a humiliating and degrading experience and they should be more professional. All that side bar is uncalled for 🤷🏽♀️
yes in reference to the trini lady.. that fat custom guy was definitely rude .
When they were initially walking away from the camera with her, they started speaking Spanish to one another.. Immediately irritated me.
It's a little weird that she was going to stay here for only one day. If I flew to Trinidad it wouldn't be for only one day. Trinidad has border security too, you know. Everybody does.
Also, it's weird that they couldn't verify anything she said to them, and she was using a debit card that didn't have her name on it. It's not common to check someone's ID to make sure it matches the debit card, but if anyone did, they would question what's going on, right?
There's several factors that lead them to question her more:
-coming here for only one day
-contact doesn't answer phone
-doesn't have hotel set up already
-has debit card with someone else's name
-coming from Trinidad, which Homeland Security had identified as a common source of addictive narcotics
Their job is to help protect the national security of the USA. OF COURSE they are going to look into something like that. Turned out to be nothing, but it was a little weird. If you were a border security officer, you would have questioned her, too.

The 2 police officers really need to stop being so petty and unprofessional…. I love how the Trinidad lady proved tht female officer wrong, all tht because you picked on her I would of told tht female officer where to go she’s rude and petty. Must be miserable
They were beyond petty and too judgmental for my liking. Those comments that they stated regarding her being low income, supporting herself in the U.S. and they kept questioning her finances. I need them to take several seats as not everyone from the Caribbean is poor and struggling for money. Average people in the Caribbean have better savings account that some folks here in the U.S. I know lots of people who come to Miami for a day or two, shop in the shopping district in Miami, near the airport, make quick turnaround back to the Islands. I've seen a lot however I've never seen Customs waiting to search a passenger designated for an outbound flight leaving the U.S.
Smugglers are a tricky bunch sometimes they pose as innocent people. That's why the get stopped. Can you tell the difference between a smuggler and a innocent person just by looking at them?

@@TANTHEMANFILMS I don't think you get the point. If you find a story confusing, surely you'll have doubts. Plus they know how desperate some people are. It's just officers instinct,plus you saw when Pupo said "what if she doesn't get what she's looking for? What was the purpose of the trip?" So basically,as much as they believed her,they didn't.
@@JadaenX i think you fail to see human emotion and bias when its clear as day.. the vocal tone body language etc-
39:20 - plot twist - nobody brings in 1.58kg the other 420grams was stolen by the airport security 😂
That 1st lady knew dang well what she had and what she was doing
What was she doing?
@@kevinnix5495 "i dont know"
She sure did, The fact that she was not arrested, jailed or deported is beyond my understanding.
@@cottonj9 its called laws
She was smart
They’re not concerned about peoples health with foreign medications, they’re mad Uncle Sam isn’t getting his tax cut
Exactly!!! They are mad that these people won't come here and spend all their money on the ultra expensive drugs here.
Not the random pop. 😂
Lol viagra guy definitely had a solid answer to the question of business or pleasure. lol
She's just carrying her uncle's luggage and doesn't even know his name....yep I believe that one-NOT. Her cousin's husband who's also her uncle? This is the worst lie I've heard. I've been stopped too by an ambitious customs officer I have to admit I was furious and people like this lady make things worse.
Remember you don't have to answer any questions so she was doing the right thing by being invasive and she probably knew that she didn't have anything that he can lock her up for this is the cost of doing business sometimes you make a win sometimes you take a loss
I know, what an L lol
I think every country has the right to protect themselfs and their citizen -even thought it may look tuff, people who have anything bad are free!
Dude the lady had supplies to help prob lol ..what if that was to help a bunch of citizens not allowed such things in desperate need???
You do realize she didn't have any drugs?
What's wrong with that fool? Is that the first time as a border control officer, you will check the bags of travellers from Africa, Asia, Caribbean? They carry exotic food items. Rather than barking, talking to her in a demeaning way and wrinkling his nose at her food (2:26), just check her bags with a lil bit more respect and if you see anything incriminating, arrest her!
