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

Just make sure to check everything everything before you do that in case you might have forgotten a little something. Otherwise, rub away

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!

Only once did I come up to a nasty customs female, there is always one that makes sure everyone has a bad day.

They aren't cautioned so just getting information to see what to do.

@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).

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.

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.
