The look on that woman's face when the dog smelt her luggage was priceless.
They keep on letting these people get away with it. That mother and son knew what they were doing.
An expensive lesson would be $500 per person and sent home
Yes, $500 per item.
NO.
Pay $5,000 if you want to enter Australia. If you don't, your visas cancelled and you get banned for 3 years from entering Australia. At least we could make TONS of money out of it.
$340 is a joke, they should be prosecuted. IM a kiwi an this b/s makes my blood boil - they knew exactly what they were doing so deport or lock em up
Just once I would enjoy watching an actual arrest and not just a $340 fine to someone trying to sneak in such gross and possibly virulent food items! Bravo Axel!!
The minimum is double that now and can go up to $3.5k for a bad concealment.
At least it’s a fine, in Canada the 1st time it’s a warning most of the time 😒
You can be the volunteer
It's their first time. Don't be so harsh.
@@JackIsNotInTheBox 20:16 I shall be harsh!
Prosecute and deport, five years ban.
What is the point of these tiny fines. No one will ever stop bringing in whatever they want when the risk is so low.
Harsh on crime isn’t the deterrent you think it is
This episode is from 2010. Fines are now in the thousands.
In Canada it is $700. But the lax Aussie authorities are too busy at lunch, talk fests and conventions to address this big problem.
@@animefan7424 That depends on your definition of harsh.
@@patwalker5133 There are no trials for fines issued by customs. Nobody would spend the money on a lawyer to challenge a fine, even if it were 10 times the fines seen on this show.
Prosecute, forget the warnings, they knew exactly
what they were carrying and
hiding in their luggage.
very true.
Food smuggling is a risk taking behavior. If the penalty is only a few hundred dollars, many travelers will continue to try their luck. The bird’s nest and cordyceps in the video would worth a few thousand AUD easily in the market, if they are of good grade. The male officer asked the young man, “why didn’t u declare the food…”? A waste of his breath, I think.
Those people illegally bringing suitcases full of food should be fined and sent straight home.
As a retired law enforcement and airport police officer this is one of my favorite shows on CZcams !
You must have seen a few dumb things in your time at airports! Now on CZcams it all happens on a platter for you. No paperwork, no reporting, no confrontations! I can see why you love it. It just makes me so angry that they don’t often prosecute!
Fines are paltry for folks who have travelled before, aware of the rules and yet try their luck breaking them. The mother and son returning from China should have got a heavier fine hands down. 300 odd is letting off with a slap on the wrist and certainly not enough of a deterrent
@@RollerGuideX Episode is from 2010 and fines are a lot higher
@@yvonnepagan9912Me too.
It gets us so angry.
@@jillkearns525
Good.
People will continue to smuggle food and plants until you raise your penalties to thousands per fines. Our governments are too lenient with smugglers!
To the authorities this is Fiscal Rocket Science ; beyond their comprehension.
You mean reliant on them for cash 🤷♀️
If you don't declare it you shouldn't be able to keep it. They declared they didn't have anything so take it.
I agree. Why even make them declare stuff if they let it pass anyway.
They do take them away. Unless it has manufacturers list of ingredients are on it. Do you have the audio on these videos? It tells you everytime.
deliberate concealments should mean a huge fine and sent back on first plane!
In Canada the minimum fine is $700.
Australia should make it atleast $5000 fine & $10000 for each concealments
I agree, these people will never care about protecting Australian wildlife and industry, but I think they will care about a big hole in their bank account
Can you imagine...these peoples luggage are right next to yours on the flight. The contamination, infestation, and the smell, ugghhh.
$300ish fines, he’ll no! 📢I would be like; “prosecuted, $1,000 fines, $5,000 fines, $Prosecuted, and all these food has to be disposed”
We need a show that depicts letting the package go to its intended destination, and the look on the face of the recipient.
I just love seeing a well-trained dog doing their job so well.
That one looked like a Beagle with the floppy ears!
In all the episodes I have watched, I have never seen them prosecute one person regardless of HUGE amounts of undeclared, not-allowed food. What good is a punishment/deterrent process if it is never used? At least, unused on the episodes they air.
No agency has the time or resources to prosecute for something that is so common. We're talking thousands of people each day. This show is also 15 years old, so I'd think fines/fees are more stringent nowadays.
Y'all start charging per item, and they'll stop this crud
My main problem is WHY oh WHY the officers open all those iffy packages of food. If NOT declared, destroy without opening!!!!! regardless if they are allowed or not.
I know this happened years ago, but they should have prosecuted the Mom and Son. They knew what they were doing
Don't be so mean and nasty, it's only food😊
If you have to fine them, don't try to hurt them
A $150 fine is more than enough
And although I have no taste for 'bird nest " I don't see how it's going to dò any harm to Australia when ONLY they are eating it ??
It's not going to come in contact with your birds or you
@@sherribatko8981 they have been there multiple times, from the looks on their faces they knew what they were doing, and had probably smuggled before. And we are talking about an Island. If any of that got loose it could be devastating
@@sherribatko8981you clearly have little understanding of how exotic diseases spread. That is not birdsnest for ‘personal consumption’; the amount is extensive. Just a small piece breaking off, or falling from a garbage bin, then blowing down the street is enough to begin a massive epidemic of bird flu; which is fatal not just to commercial poultry but to delicate (and critically endangered) wild birds that have no resistance to foreign disease strains. The collapse of a group of birds has significant knock on effects to whole ecosystems. Australian border biosecurity is critically important as many species here are significantly different to and have been protected from species from other parts of the world. We don’t want our native flora and fauna to crash.
@@sherribatko8981. These people knew they were bringing illegal stuff & even concealed it. You want mercy for them!!!! Either you are out of ur mind or one of tgem
i was looking for this comment. i agree they should be prosecuted. they consealed that stuff in a jacket, it was intentional, not an accident of just undeclaired stuff.
i hope that now in 2024, they fine people more money, especially with all the bio hazzards happening constantly.
Plot Twist: He was acting suspicious on purpose to throw customs off so the real drug smuggler can go through
Sadly, Border Force is hopeless. Ask yourself why our streets are awash with illicit drugs. Most of them couldn't catch a cold let alone a criminal.
Q: You have food, but you declared you had no food. Why?
A: Because I’m Asian. It’s what we do.
EDIT: Gimme a break. They concealed all that food. A $340 will really teach them a lesson 🙄
In a role reversal 😂I can’t see my self smuggling any meat pies or Chiko rolls into any foreign lands 😂
$340 fine. Not even the street value of that bird’s nest spit thing. What a non-deterrent. They might as well have gift wrapped it & given it back to them.
No wonder they keep bringing their food into Australia, just a fine $340! They should have been prosecuted!!! $340 is a joke!
The man with the seaweed, I am relieved for him; however, he should not have assumed that they were noodles. Why didn't he ask to confirm what the contents were?
The fines imposed for illegal importation of prohibited items are far too low and don't deter offender's from doing it again.
The mother and son were obviously going to profit, therefore should be arrested
Too far for just bringing food that isnt allowed that not how it works
I need to stop watching this show when i'm eating, people are so gross.
Yeah, I personally wouldn’t eat anything made with bird spit 🤮
That mother and son fully intended to sell those items. Prosecute.
It's so annoying! These people all sign a document, in their own language, saying they have "NO FOOD" in their bags. Nine times out of ten, they have the weirdest food stuff and no one ever gets charged with "falsifying a legal document" or issued a huge fine. It would be a huge money maker for the airport and maybe people would stop bringing in weird stuff from China.
Who really thinks the guy had no idea what was in the noodles? Idk I kept going back and forth, but then remembered the beginning...stayed up late watched all that and it's SEAWEED?! 😂😂😂
I kept going back and forth too.
You should charge extra for lying😊
*_Most of these people try to import weird food I'd never want to eat anyway!_*
Facts! 🤢
Okra is weird, bananas are weird and we eat them without thought here. Don’t yuck someone else’s yum. Just make sure they DECLARE IT. lol
Bird's Nest = Spit from a bird! $3000 for dried bird spit? Yuck! 😮
@@germywTHE FOODS ARE CONTAMINATED. You cannot travel with contaminated food. Whether it’s considered a delicious delicacy or not!
Why do these people bring food anyway? If you cant do without your foods and seeds, then stay home and stop putting another country at risk.
Border Security doing a great job.. Well done.
I don't believe I've ever seen someone prosecuted. The fines aren't enough to stop anyone trying again.
Yes it is
The mother and son should have been prosecuted. They knew what they were doing
Seriously... when will these people learn? I'd have loved to do this job!
20:39 What is the point of these tiny fines. No one will ever stop bringing in whatever they want when the risk is so low. In this case they should be prosecute, because they hide this items deliberately to bring it in.
Woman was initially happy and playful with the dog
Then the dog sniffed something and then she gave it an evil look ...
Let me get this straight. The Vietnamese guy is transporting a gift of food from one auntie to another. I can only assume it is some rare delicacy, yet the auntie gave none to the nephew, and he doesn't even know what it is. This seems very fishy.
One puts items inside containers to use the space, not necessarily smuggle items into the country. For example, shoes, kettles, rice cookers, etc., are spaces that can be used, not everyone is a smuggler, folks. It is the efficient use of space.😊
Yeah lol, "why would they hide it in a kettle"? Man works at an airport but have never flown before.
Prosecute! The Chinese mother and son know darn well what they were doing.
“It’s a very expensive lesson for this mother and son….” ???? $340? ARE U KIDDING ME???? Expensive for them is $340,000 🙄….. wait no $3,400,000 is expensive
I love the beagle search dogs so much! We had a beagle who passed away in 2021 at the age of 16, and in another life, he would have been a fantastic sniffer dog. He could literally sniff out a crumb under a bookshelf and would cry trying to get at it. Beagles are literal stomachs on legs, super trainable, super sniffing abilities and thankfully not very tall. If they were any taller, they'd just be a menace to society.
I know the Vietnamese guy was innocent. Many times we just take people stuff, especially from family relatives without questions. We even forgot we had those items until we unpacked the suitcases or boxes. I’m glad that it turned out well for him even though I was nervous when those items were green in the x ray scan. It’s officials’ job to suspect every little hint of something abnormal. They’re doing great job in protecting their people and their country.
Yes, He looked worried wondering if they might have given Him something illegal to carry!
“Do you have food” as they unzip the bag
“No”
Finished opening the bag with food on top
Why do they lie when they know in 3 seconds they are going to be caught
Cordyceps are the fungi in The Last of Us
Those bird net worth more than thousand lol
For every one they catch 100 get through.
The $340 fine is a sick JOKE. Pocket money for about 95% of the culprits, and an INCENTIVE to try and smuggle things into Australia. In Canada, it is $700. WAKE UP Aussie authorities.
People have a lot of nerve trying to sneak stuff into the country knowing very well, it is not permitted. The penalty is way too lenient for this. They should throw away all stuff that isn’t declared and raise the fines..
Good job Australia I support your border security they doing everything to protect your country
I certainly hope those dogs don’t live in those cages all the time
Ugh. Who in their right mind travel with fresh fish in their luggage? It doesn't take long for it to start rotting when dead. * puke *
Agreed
Adults who lie about what they’re carrying are just despicable.
I knew it was seaweed from the X-ray machine.
They always ask you in security whether you are carrying something for someone else.
If you are, even if they are family, always say yes.
You actually read someone their right over salt and seaweed? 😂😂😂😂😂
She’s asking a lot of personal questions 😁and he actually implicated his aunts😂…that’s cold blooded
You should see the stuff coming in though the DR airport.
The guy with the noodles knows exactly what he has. First he said his aunty then his brother and now its his uncle who gave it to him.
Ban these people from visiting. Makes them think twice about risking bringing these items they know they are not supposed to.
That’s caterpillars fungus, it’s very expensive. Plus the swallow bird’s nest.
I always declare & never had any issues when visiting sydney. Quarantine officer once said people who fails to declare food drives them mad & the declaration cards are in PEOPLES OWN LANGUAGE
Can't believe the Chinese mother and son only got a $340 fine (that won't teach them anything)- they knew what they were doing and it posed are real threat to AU agriculture, etc.
I love the way they pronounce food...feuood?
This may sound naive or whatever. But what happens if customs drill into a valuable item and there is no consealement?
Why can't the fines be more then $700 , then people stop repeating
He didn't need your lecture ma'am lol
Family told him it was food - if family makes me a mule, they would need security to hold me back, from them!!
First it was from an aunty, then brother and finally uncle.
The $340 fine is a sick JOKE. Pocket money for about 95% of the culprits, and an INCENTIVE to try and smuggle things into Australia. In Canada, it is $700. WAKE UP Aussie authorities.
You realise that those episodes are from years ago and now the amount to pay is different?
Things might not look good but when I travel I pack things inside things etc. to keep the volume down.
I was way too stressed by the situation of the seaweed guy. He looked like he really didn't know what it was and I was hoping his brother was not using him. He will think twice next time.
Pfffft.....'a sizeable penalty'.....approx $200-$400, Uhm ok.....🙄🙄
Good work, border of security
The “consequences” being a few hundred dollars is like pennies, compared to what they tried to smuggle! 🙄
I'm surprised the chef didn't know what anything was and they didn't fine him.
I like all the Officers, good job 👍
That bag of cordyceps alone would have cost thousands of dollars.
Send them to jail……..
Love the detective dogs ❤❤❤
They think that nowadays it is so easy to get past the control of the plane like nothing with illegal things?😂
If I bring a kettle, I gonna put things inside so I can use the space for other items !
I always hope that these security dogs would come and check my bags, but they always just zoomed past me. T.T Can't they stay a bit longer for me (as long as they don't sit down beside me!). They are too adorable!
the Chinese should've been prosecuted... they knew what they were doing.
it should be thousands of dollars when they lie about prohibit items
Why do they blame it on family? These people know they are responsible themselves. Such low-lifes.
“Edible birds nest” 🙄 do you think that can cause avian bird flu?! 🐦 🪹
Such a bully to visitors
A heads up for anyone following these episodes (especially if you're trying to track them with something like Trakt) --- according to TVDB, S10 had 8 episode in aired order, and 16 in DVD order. There is no S10E19, I think in general they've just kinda been making up the episode orders as they go along
How did customs fine the insects?
I don’t understand when the personnel states people are fidgety and that is suspect. On two occasions I have had my bags searched by customs agents. I had no reason to worry, nothing to feel guilty over but, I tell you, I was uptight & fidgety nonetheless.
This should be compulsory watching on the planes before landing. These offences should be an instant $2000 fine and or revoking of visa
Big thanks to dogs they are too clever ❤️
if so serious why fine so low, should be $340 per a bag at the very least
9:38 GUILTY!
What i can't figure out if these folks coming from China, Vietnam, Korea, Thailand don't know enough not to bring certain things or not to at least say yes. Unless they are drugs.
First he said Auntie then someone's brother then uncle
Yucks
