This seems like the type of show that you would watch at a hotel when there is nothing else to watch.
Exactly what I'm doing
@@bradleygallavin7378 Brilliant xD

6:30 pm Greece, I couldn't sleep, and I'm watching this!

In Greek means hen.
Exactly what im doing too
Should have trailed the car with the cigarettes to their home so that when the luggage went inside the house then they could seize that too.

@@sabih44 the op's joke I get because it works, but the logic isn't there for the second one. unless I missed something?
@@hzhang1228 pretty much saying how the mans car was taken away, the mans house was taken away, might as well take away the whole country!
Great insight to what goes on behind the scenes at airports. I do wish that the background music was much quieter so I could hear more of the story.
The background music really is too loud. I sometimes have to turn on the closed captions so I can read what they are saying.
Muzak. Ticky ticky ticky crapola.
I agree. Too loud.
17:50 - "I chipped in too" says the stay at home mum. Solid defence.
What I get from this is to
1: Never look nervous cause officers have shitty intuition.
2: Dont bring almost empty suite cases.
3: Make sure to tell them you saved up for a year for your trip cause they apparently never heard of such a thing.
saved up for a year with no jobs - makes sense, ya
@@pennym1056 Theres something called "under the table" pay, ya know? Just because a person doesnt have a traditional job doesnt mean they're not earning a paycheck
@@pennym1056 he probably saved during his entire working career...you know some people do manage their finances...and don't just spend everything as soon as they get it!
No wonder we left England 🇺🇸
@Roku - He is talking about people who left England for the "New World" which later became the United States. Though what he is failing to realize is the Puritans were essentially forced out.
"The cigarettes will be incinerated"
I've got a hunch that they were going to end up incinerated whether you seized them or not
🤣
that put a smile on my face, hahaha
underrated
Doesn't seem smart to *burn* cigarettes.
Lol this comment is pure gold.
I’m AMAZED that cigarette smugglers are not fined!!
They get a “warning” on the first incident. After that, its fines and/or jail!
they were fined indirectly. They paid for 40,000 cigarettes only to now make a 0% profit off the expense. They lost decent money.
@@Ryanfinder226 They were fined directly. Right at the end of the video, the narrator says that they must pay the duty owed on the cigarettes to get their car back.
@@beeble2003 That's an excellent idea. There is a shop in the area where I shop. It is run by 3 asylum seekers. Only recently did I learn that they sell cigarettes and tobacco, all of it illegally brought in.
I notified the authorities and they quietly did a sneaky check on the shop.
They discovered that the men had a string of young women who flew abroad, bought case loads of cigarettes, and sneaked them in. Police watched them for weeks, before catching the women and invading the shop. They found a massive quantity of cigarettes. The whole thing was run by a group of asylum seekers and all were arrested. 5 have since been deported.
Why the hell is so many cigarettes
When I have extra time, I wouldn't mind just rubbing a bud along my baggage just to troll the dogs and security😂
Just make sure to check everything everything before you do that in case you might have forgotten a little something. Otherwise, rub away
make sure nothing falls in when u rub the bag! don't want crummage to get u
I went to the US I had my laptop in a bag and my carry on suitcase. In the airport in Texas a guy with his beagle dog seemed very interested in me😅 they walked past me a few times but eventually just walked away.
When I got to my friends house I looked under my laptop and surprise surprise I found a piece of hash stuck to it 😮 not a lot maybe 2-4 grams but I am sure it would have been enough to deny me acces to the US had he found it
Imagine if that couple was just nervous because they’re not supposed to be seen together and suddenly there are cameras in their faces lol
it kinda makes sense to me. she said she's a stay at home mum and there were no kids with them. of course they could be at their grand parents but still what you say makes sense.
They were the decoy.

@@joyl7842 nah, obviously tax evader. Just not much. Most if not all chinese business owner will not declare their cash income, only check income. So at the end of each tax year, thousands will be there for pleasure.

@@philtwowheels LOOL that is quite true.
flip inheck ahhh ok I suppose actually, that makes sense 👏
a bit harsh on the unemployed couple. the comment of "they were celebrating being unemployed" is unprofessional as well. They might have had a hard year
Plus whose to say they didn't have savings when they became unemployed. There are people out there who can survive while being out of work
I agree with all of you, for every story out there there's someone living it
Forsaken Pumpkin yes, because there’s such a thing as crime stats
obrbob194 high life? Maybe the immigrants (they get extra benefits due to not being used to our currency..I kid you not. My mrs works for the home office in Croydon
Did everybody -including the narrator, not hear that the guy was made redundant -in many cases you get at least a few grand, that should last you a bit and if the couple want a nice holiday to cheer themselves up -good on them.
Imagine going for a flight and coming home to an audit. This is just wild
He was headed to China and caring boatloads of money. They are removing money from the economy and sending it over to a foreign country. That screws up the economy of a country. The same thing happens in the US. That’s why they’re so hard on this guy

all the merch confiscated. got to hurt. and they said repeated offense will result in more than a warning
Exactly! They attempted to steel thousands from country - just warning...
You don’t get a warning for smuggling weed though do you
I don't understand why they (all four) were not arrested for smuggling. Let the court hand them a wrist slap, do not ket them go until they post bond.
Stupid really stupid Law
Every time I come through passport control I always look nervous. It’s a anxious experience when you’re stood in front of them while they look suspiciously at you
yeah ... its the ol' " you just look suspicious" thing 😂
Q:"Why do you look so nervous?"
A: "Because I watch DangerTV"
😂😂😂😂😂
I have an issue with the commentator continuing to say "unfortunately, they find nothing".
WHY IS THAT UNFORTUNATE? 🤔
It makes for boring tv. People love watching others' misfortune.
@@Tyrosine0910 I know I do!
czcams.com/video/6LHhWoJKp-Q/video.html
Because it's their jobs to find drugs and contraband. Pretty simple. They never make a bust they will be let go trust me. So many people come through airports everyday that don't get caught.
Unfortunate! If all those fifty 50 Colonial nations have been able to thoroughly check Colonizer Anglo British coming into their nations through thy strictly control gates, there wouldn't be a centuries-long notorious global Colonialism and suffering of tens of millions of people worldwide. Just saying. 😔
That dodgy couple who didn't want to open their cases aren't drug smuggling, that's just not his wife and he doesn't want to get caught 😂😂
LMFAOOO
17:50 Stay at home mum: I chipped in too. Lmao. You're traveling with your UNEMPLOYED husband, and your a stay at home mum and you chip in to pay for the trip also? WITH WHAT??? AND WHY if you're married??? Lmaooooo
Q
Sherlock Holmes they ain't! 😂
Exactly!! SECRET LOVERS! 🤭
I can't imagine being at the airport and being asked how I paid for my trip and how much money I make a year. Crazy.
Exactly. Like what about the people who have been saving up in a little jar for years. 😭
And how you met your spouse and have you ever been arrested in your life.
Rude people
That poor chinese guy!!so intrusive
Why? It doesn't take agents long to figure out if you're legit or not by the questions they answer. Questions that are close to your heart. If you don't like it, don't travel.
At 17:28 the stay-at-home-mom chipped in on the trip too. LOL
Yea, I wasn't happy with how they treated that couple, just because he was unemployed....
2 times "you can't afford this trip, strip down this SOB" 15 min later "he has nothing, sorry"
He just wanted to touch the other guy up
this is soo discusting they can do it without any ...
When we were both unemployed for a short period it was the perfect time for a trip. Being unemployed doesn’t always mean you are broke.
Also the benefits system gives heaps of money to afford holidays to the carribean as well as big screen tvs and iphones etc.
Hate me for this comment, but I know long term unemployed people who have done this.
@@onlineamiga unemployment right now is the new employment. fuck off ever day and get paid extra money by the gov. i had the unemployment fraud attempted on me and found out i could make 4 grand more a year if is was unemployed. I'm not trash though and I will earn my wages
It's easier to travel in the US when you are on unemployment. You get a decent check, food stamps, rental assistance. Since you don't have to be at a job, might as well get out and see the world before you go back to the grind.
This is wrong to me. Who can judge them for and when having nice or expensive holidays
A year though where you don’t work and the other person is a stay at home mum, also doesn’t work. Nah, no way in hell they could afford that holiday. Look at the state of them
No rubber boats were harmed in the making of this show.

So sensual lol
They should have seized the plane that was used to transport the cigarettes.
Hahaha
It's very inane. I am truly amazed at the amount of altercations these 'elite' officers are getting into with passengers over very isolated incidents of petty crimes at worst when there are far larger security issues at hand
To seize the car is enough
Yea lock up the cabin crew. Definitely guilty
Jack Kruese they could of found maddie if they just did that
£58 billion in U.K. taxes is avoided legally every year thanks to Brexit. But save for a holiday and you are in trouble.
Honestly it just looks like for the most part they're harassing harmless people.
Customs officer: 'your're 600 over your baccy limit, so I'm going to seize your house and your children'.
Eightiesboy 🤪😂😂
I dunno - he had 30,000+ cigarettes - with a value of maybe £15,000. Seizing his £2k car for a search seems appropriate
@@searcherfortruthlayton1665 Seizing the car is a big stretch. It would be different if they were stopped by the customs on the road. These customs deliberately wait until they load the luggage to the car, with intention to seize it. It's overuse the power!
@@skoluba I hear ya, but I couldn't care less if smugglers lose everything. Hes denying revenue which is spent on the NHS, roads, police, and child services etc. Dont smuggle, dont worry about losing your car. Imagine how many times they've got away with it before and made 10's of thousands without paying tax - and no doubt claiming benefits from the same tax system they've been stealing from.
@@searcherfortruthlayton1665 I agree 100% with you. I just tried to make a point in the matter of principle. All it looked like it was a smuggling trip. Such people deserve punishment!
It annoys me to see these officers asking people why they are carrying a few thousand pounds. The UK gov website states you can bring in up to 9,000 pounds WITHOUT having to declare it. Its none of their business!!!
They want everyone using bank cards and not carrying cash ..
i always use cash when i can.
Cash is king !!!!

They aren't there to make you feel good about your choices in life, they're there to make sure you aren't breaking any laws.
@@ajshdhenskaka
Yes and they're not meant to make you feel bad either. Do his job and keep opinions to himself. He says he was made redundant so usually that's a payout, and he's questioning how he can afford it. The bloke may have worked hard all his life putting money away in a savings account.
@@Lamebred. agreed
When I wasn't working, I had a ton of money saved up, so I decided to take a few trips around the world before getting back into a job.
I definitely took a vacation when I lost my job. It was the first time I'd ever had time to myself, what else was I going to do while I waited for a new job?
"how do you afford a holiday like that if you're unemployed"... They look nearing retirement age. How is it so surprising they can afford nice holidays? Investments and savings can easily get you "nice" holidays when you're 60.
They look 30-40! Early retirement I guess.
@@tonibauer2949 jealous because you can't manage your money!
Aquil Hall Huh? Where did I ever indicate jealousy or resentment? I am all for early retirement if one can afford it. I merely made a comment and you must be the one with an issue as you read something into it that wasn’t there at all. Not many people can retire before forty, but if they can, go for it!

@G Kab Maybe because they're harmful to health - just a guess!
@G Kab There's often very few checks during the manufacturing process in the countries that produce them cheaply. Selling them at a discount would also provide a monetary incentive for airlines to perform illegal seizures.
Honestly, I am always nervous at the airport. The way the TSA talks to people is nerve wracking. Being anxious should not be looked at as a sign of guilt.
Yeah it is
This right here 😂
ive been unwell at the airport and with the shakes, only because I got a flu bug before I left and was on the way to recovery, I was nervous as I thought they would pull me up, not something you need when all you want to do is go home. I wasnt pulled up, perhaps I am just too honest. I have to say most of the border control and customs are pretty good. Only once did I come up to a nasty customs female, there is always one that makes sure everyone has a bad day.
I have HORRIBLE anxiety when I’m in crowded/busy places, in public in general, traveling, etc so watching these makes me terrified to travel outside the country.
Has nothing to do with guilt. It’s a sign that they should be given further attention.
You can see all the cigs lined up so easily in the scanners. Might've been better to try and just send them in the post.
“Rub down.” Could they just say “frisk” instead? lol
"The man gets a lucky escape" Why? He was only carrying three thousand pounds - all perfectly within his legal rights. It's shocking how biased the narration is towards assuming people are doing something wrong, even when there is no evidence.
Ya but he is As it an and trying to screw the government
@@evelyndunham5135I'm so happy I don't live in a country where I have to fear being audited at the airport because a glorified security guard thinks I'm carrying too much money even if it's below the legal limit.
@@evelyndunham5135nothing to do with the airport
There's another ep where the customs agents were so disappointed that the passenger could prove the money was her's and legitimate.
He's not declaring his income to inland revenue hence the suspicion
"im going to check if shes a swallower" is there nothing that machine cant tell you!
LOL!!!!!!!!
I can imagine a meter needle that swings one of two ways, spit or swallow!

It can probably tell you how much these people steal every year from people who work for a living..
Lmfao
If the officer told me he was taking me for a "rubdown", I probably would have replied--"Thank you, I'm flattered, but I'm straight."
Last time I was at the airport, I got randomly swabbed. I wasn't carrying anything and they ovbs didn't find anything but I was still shaking 😂
the locked bag was a decoy, a huge shipment went through right then lol

Or it seems that the passengers are ignorant of the law, thinking they are exempt to the rules
They don't get paid enough to have experienced savings.
Maybe if you took an account statement along with you, you would then save evidence of your savings and where the money came from
“Just going to swab her shoes and see if she’s a swallower.” Honestly how do you look at the opposite end of the body when you suspect someone is a swallower??? 😂😂😂

@@onlineamiga back in the 80s i lived in a socialist country, everything was scarce so on those rare times we went to the UK we would stock up on Cadbury's chocolate of all things. Dad would put a few bars of the cheapest ones on top of the clothes in the luggage, with the rest hidden below. Obviously the customs guy would stop us and he would glance at my father when opening the luggage and quickly pocket the exposed chocolate and then let us through customs without a single word.
Phew, lucky they didn't seize the plane as cigarettes were inside there too.
The voice is so high and clear when they speak on people that are guilty of smuggling but when they are wrong there voices below low and quiet as if they are disappointed! This is no longer a job for them this has become a blame game
They should not be able to question people who speak a different language without translator cuz they're basically incriminating themselves and making themselves seem more suspicious cuz they don't understand
They aren't cautioned so just getting information to see what to do.
I doubt there are translators waiting around for every possible language being spoken at an international airport.
In one other episode, they ask foreigners if they comprehend English or if they required an interpreter and there's a UK translator hotline for police/govt agencies for just such an occasion.
He understood what she said acting like you don’t understand is a very old trick.
hell, it appears that filing your taxes will get you locked up
Wow I can’t believe the Chinese guy at the end was hassled so much for having a couple of thousand pounds with him. Crazy.
Totally nuts. On holiday that is walkaround money. What a fuss.
I think they weren't fussing because of the amount of money. Its because they think he wasn't paying taxes on his earnings. If he gets the cash out of the country then the Government cannot get their tax revenue on it. Its the same logic as stopping the people bringing in cigarettes (they aren't paying tax on them) but in reverse.
Having the money isn’t an issue. Not declaring it is (if the total exceeds a certain amount), because the suspicion is that large sums of cash that a person has purposefully hidden might be linked to crime.
@@tallgrasslanestitches6635 Thats wrong. He didnt need to declare the amount he had as it was low. But the cash set off the dog and whilst they were investigating they think he wasnt paying taxes. The amount was fine and didnt need to be declared.
Basically, you are not allowed to be have no money and you are not allowed to have too much money. £3000 pounds is not that much. Having said that millions of people around the world under declare their income!
what happens if go through something to declare part do you get to keep your exceeded over-the-limit items for being honest?
Why the hell is a customs officer looking for income tax dodgers?
My neighbour works for a pharmaceutical company and usually off to other countries , and he always say when officers ask him : "For a drug deal"

"I need my car" well should have thought about that before hand before being an accessory to crime.
It sickens me to hear these custom agents voice disappointment when they come across people who are not drug smugglers and in fact are telling the truth about their travels.
Yep...You can definitely feel the power trip these agents are on...
Right. I was feeling the same way.
Another way to look at it - you know 100 people will be smuggling today in front of your very eyes. How many of them do you want to catch?
@@yadusolparterre all of them, BUT.... dont have to be a prick about it! If you cant act professional, then just practice saying.. "Would you like fries with that" ?

30,000 cigarettes?! those officers just prevented a ton of lung cancer related deaths!
Did they really though? Smokers will smoke…. they will just be paying more for the cigarettes they do buy. Costing them more money and their lungs.
Oh cmon, so cruel to let them walk out of airport making them think they got away with a large haul of cigarettes 🤣
Looks like they waited for them to be loaded into the car just so they could seize it.
seems like a good idea to me, got the driver involved as well
They waited so they could find out if there were more people involved. It could have been a large group of smugglers and not just a couple of uninformed people.
Yea I know why they did that, I’m just saying from smugglers point of view it sucks to be played like that.
I like how they intentionally wait until the suitcases are in the car just so they can seize the car.
They make them carry their own siezed bags. "These are now in our custody, but you carry them"
If bags are seized, then the passenger shouldn't be carrying them
czcams.com/video/6LHhWoJKp-Q/video.html
I wouldn’t carry a fucking thing
One country I used to live in was Turkey. I used to return to Dublin for holidays. One year, I had a suitcase inside another suitcase. Well, I
was going to do some shopping (not ciggies or drink, as I do not use either) but clothes etc. The faces of the Turkish Customs men at Bodrum Airport was hilarious. My big case went back and forth through on the conveyor belt. Until I explained, "me go shopping in Dublin for clothes etc" they just laughed and nodded. I wanted clothes not copies, even though their copies of clothes can be lovely. I was a biggish woman at that time so...
It did give us all a laugh at the time.
Before we moved to Spain we used to bring the maximum backy in to the uk but there was sod all they could do, even though there were 5 adults.. and they hated it !
" Laws say you must admit you carry anything OVER 10k" but security will question everyone with over 1K .. Yet i watched them question people who travel with NO CASH. Where does the harassment end?? seriously.
Are you applying American Constitutional rights to the UK? The UK and EU don't have a Constitution, just a bunch of laws and arbitrary rulers.
If you come on a holiday visa with no cash how are they supposed to live and if they have an accident or need medical care who will pay for it? People who do that are really looking to work.
@@geoffkeen8389 or have a credit card?
love that this show still slanders these people even after they were found to be innocent.
I have experienced LHR Customs as very efficient, but perhaps too curious. They X-rayed my cabin bag and asked me to open it. "There is something in your bag we don't understand." I answered, "it's a Bavarian beer mug with a metal lid, it's a present for my hosts" and showed them the mug. "Just a moment, what's that cloth inside the mug?" - Look, it's a T-shirt!" - "Have a nice flight!" After this control I was very sure that they also would have detected a bomb.
"Fortunate to be allowed to leave the country with his cash." His own money??? Why shouldn't he be allowed?
@margaretwade. Simple answer - money laundering.
That's interesting that they are allowed to seize the cigarettes after they have left the airport.
They may. They are no police, they are customs. Its a matter of tax control.

Bullshit if you ask me

They were so gutted that unemployed couple didn’t have anything on them. So basically if you’re unemployed don’t take a holiday and come back to the Uk as you’ll have a body and bag search. They were treated so badly.

You do not think it could be that 4-5 border enforcement agents were running at the group so that was why he knew there was an issue and not necessarily he knew there were cigarettes in the bags? What dubber logic that guy has. Granted he may have known but the fact he wanted to distance himself from people who are getting busted for something does not make him an accomplice and it certainly does not point to him knowing exactly what was in the bag or even that he knew ahead that there was something wrong.
@SomethingReallyStrange - 100% agree that is the same thing I thought of as well (about what if I were picking up a friend or family member and had no idea). Also the only reason they got to the car was the security let them... so kinda seemed even more like they baited them to get the car too (but yeah maybe they had a good reason for it... but it just didn't seem so as they seemed similar to all of the other cigarette smugglers).
@SomethingReallyStrange Imagine if it was just an Uber driver
Game Loot I totally agree. I watched another one of these programmes were a British couple were stopped with 36 thousand cigarettes. The officers were really polite and joking with them. Let them go without a warning. These people here were treated badly.
If they went into a Taxi, would they have seized that as well?
All that fuss for tobacco
When We entered Victoria, BC from a cruise ship we didn't have to undergo any border scrutiny as we disembarked for sight-seeing for a day. That scrutiny was done onboard the vessel in advance as cruise ship authorities checked our US citizenship documents. It would have been easy to stay behind in the country but then who the hell would want to do that?
Geez, I speak the same language as that Scot and I can barely understand him… how can someone from a non-English speaking country possibly comprehend any of his questions?
I have been stopped because they thought I was smuggling drugs (I was 15 at the time) turns out it was my medicine lmao
These are not elite officers. I disagree strongly with their approaches.
Marcin Jechorek lmao yeah sure ok that’s why they apologised and I didn’t go to jail 😂
if im on vacation especially abroad im going to have a few thousand in cash on me in separate places for safety, my atm card or check may not work everywhere
Exactly I just commented the same thing.
@@MsNikkieMichelle how is £3000 a lot of money? sure it could be savings or a loan or from other sources
@@mpat100 money laundering across boarders. Hence the limit. I don’t carry cash when traveling abroad I wait till I get to my destination
The thing is to declare your money. You can bring as much as you want in most countries.
@@Soda413 but why does he have to pay tax on it? I dont understand, it could be his savings or a loan he got from someone, its not like it was £50,000, its only £3000 he had
If the government didn’t tax the hell out of things you wouldn’t need so many custom officers
Officer Pete was just jealous. It wasn’t a holiday to celebrate being unemployed it was to celebrate getting through the year.
'He's starting to get a bit angtsy about it' - maybe it's just me, but I would even with nothing on me. I came from Colombia once, and had the TSA (in the US) search through my bags, looking at me all suspiciously, and I felt nervous as hell. They were super intimidating. Even though I had nothing at all. Although, the UK officers might be more chill.

Don’t feel bad. My stuff is always being searched and I’ve been tested for bomb residue many times due the the medications I carry and I take up to 2 liters of fluids on my carry on and several more liters in checked baggage ( I’m on home IV hydration so when I fly they go with). I get patted down and checked for bomb residue. I guess I’m just used to it by now.
I went thru TSA a couple years after 9/11, I hardly ever fly before or since.
So, here I am, Mr. Naive country boy and I am in line. I see ppl taking off shoes, I think, "I forgot about that", then, "damn shoulda wore flip flops".
We get closer and the lady at the x ray machine is super pissy ...
Then I notice her throwing out fluids, and the agents are like on edge about it AND OF COURSE I have these full shampoo bootles.
So to be proactive, I just go over to the trash cans they have scattered around and throw out ALL my fluids. Little, Big, whatever.
THAT makes the TSA gal in the lobby even more aggravated "Why are you throwing all that out??"
Almost aggressive on me, so I just bark back," I have no idea of the carry on rules, I never fly, but I am tired of being in line, Walmart sells everything I need when I land, so..... it all goes in the trash. "
That really ticks her and her TSA buddies off. They come over in a group, before they speak, I say, "guys listen, the managers here put 5 trash cans in this lobby so people can throw their own stuff out and the line moves faster" "I just threw mine out, you want that I should take it out of the trash?"
They didnt like that either.
Now that I'm older and wiser, I just UPS my stuff to the hotel and carry a very small overnight bag. And I wear Jesus sandals.
7:07 They're just very heavy smokers. Probably a few hundred packs a day. Before I quit, I was burning through at least 600 to 700 packs a day
🤣🤣🤣
Wow its amazing that you're still alive and not succumbed to lung cancer
On one flight we had a couple were stopped on the stairs and told to empty their bags which was so wrong, in the open broke all privacy rules there are. The airport customs officer just tipped out the suitcase contents on the floor so everyone could see.
Dam , that's pretty devious to wait until the cigarettes are in the vehicle, then seize the vehicle.
Holiday for 1 night and brings back 70,000 cigarettes? Seems legit.
Just cuz there nervous doesn’t mean there smuggling anything you have to think people might have anxiety issues 🙄
Good point, Katie. I have only flown once, from Illinois to California. I was very nervous, and did not want to fly. I was not impressed with anything, until i arrived back in Chicago. That skyline was magnificent.
I was nervous once when my baggage got searched and the baggage lock broke in SFO, almost missed my flight too lol
Crap. Yes they might and they might not. Most innocent people aren't, you dolt.
@@aislingsibeallyons3416 Since you aren’t leaving your bed, I doubt any airport customs personnel would jump to conclusions about you
@@aislingsibeallyons3416 Anxiety? How do go to the bathroom if you don't leave your bed?
They completely made up a story about the Polish car driver. That was pure prejudice without any evidence whatsoever.
Wondering why the United States doesn’t have a program like this
