Yeah it can sets off red flags when people say No but if they don't want people to refuse they just don't have to give them the choice to say No and tell them if you refuse maybe you will not come in.
For those who think $220 is low, Season 3 was released in 2015, nearly 10 years ago. Nowadays, the fine for breaching biosecurity ranges from 550 to 5,500.
I think it's low because I know from earlier episodes that's not the maximum fine for the time. I think some got $340? These are very blatant and nasty smuggling attempts.
..for those who wonder how the narrator's determine the estimated street values of the drugs, that is the prices the AFP and customs officials tend to sell the undeclared seized drugs for..
That is in Australian dollars. Also, this is an old episode. The fines are much higher now. I think they're now around the $1,000 mark which is about $600USD.
I applaud the kindness and patience of these officers. After a person has said the understood their declarations, I read it to them, they still say they g it ave nothing to declare,… I would fine them to the full extent of the law
It is not kindness - it is a huge, irresponsible disservice to the country as it is known, by these visitors, that in the rare instance that they are caught, it will only be a warning or a very small fine. It is worth the risk to bring in pretty much whatever they want.
It's just amazing how people just think they can travel into a country with a half a suitcase full of dead animals and think it's o.k. obviously they have done it before and got through
You could tell the pregnant woman was nervous by her body language right away. When she said that she got the shoes at a store without being asked, that was also a giveaway. I felt sorry for her son. I wonder what happened to him.
It is delicious coffee. Bought some in the Phillipines as green bean. We roasted at my work (a roastery) Not worth the money though. I paid $60 for 2 55grams containers straight from the source.
58:10 Honestly, asking "Do you mind?" is a confusing question for non native english speakers no matter the race. They should just frame it as "is it ok if I" or "do you allow me to".
Agree, I can understand her confusion. Often in Spanish they ask me when shopping 'Anything else?' and I instinctively respond Yes because I think they asked 'is that all?' 😅 then we jsut stare at each other haha
My sister told me that when they are filming you have to wait longer at the airport because they are being very thorough for the cameras.The fines are really cheap... not a deterrent.
agree. increase the fine and a warning that a repeat occurence will result to refusal of entry to the country or at least being blacklisted and outright searched every time they reenter the country.... australia border security is too lame.
I can handle returning Australian citizens becoming a bit frustrated even rude with their own border security people however when visitors are rude well that really gets my goat!
@@zenith808 Have you seen the Chinese and Vietnamese travellers on this show, who are often residents or even citizens and can’t string two understandable words together!
I thought this was the funniest thing, buddy holds up 2 black knights that look different, I’m like fair enough, then questions that a 3rd piece is even more suspicious, holds it up, its white… me looking confused.
Stop playing with these people charge them for everything that's prohibited or send them home, this makes absolutely no sense to have these people to go through this
The dogs don’t get a treat. They get a special thing that they always get when they mark for narcotics, food, money etc. In Australia it seems like it’ s a roll of cloth. You could see it when in the mouth when the dog came out of an interrogation room.
@ I noticed the towel and figured that that’s the treat, maybe off camera they trade the towel for a real treat? But, do the dogs ever lie and give a false positive to get the towel?
It' s because it's a TV show, from the legacy TV networks. They have probably 5 minutes commercial break every 10 minutes or something, so each time they have to recap everything. For example, in the US, a 40 minute TV series episode is broadcast during a 1 hour slot, there is literally 20 minutes of commercial for 40 minutes of content..
The girl at 55:17 seriously needs to remember that you can google how safe countries are and New Zealand is the number 1 safest country to live in and for her to say that it not safe girl open a book or a computer. lol
The fellow carrying a 1 kilo package in his groin, had the package been 2 or 3 ounces he might have gotten it through. Drug mules have high expectations and large egos
Nah, with all the technology customs use they have had to get smarter. They have been forced to spread their risk and reduce detection by sending smaller amounts through on their mules instead of hiding large quantities inside of pallets of goods. They are obviously frustrated by this and don't want to go to the effort of doing this time consuming task. So, they try to send a slightly larger quantity through, hoping THAT is small enough to get through. It is just pure laziness on behalf of the drug pushers abroad who now have to spend more time, effort and money on their "business dealings" and they hate the added expense. Remember, it's a business to these guys and everything comes down to the bottom line. All businesses try to reduce expenses and increase profits.
When you refused to get search u only hurting your self they can denied you or ship you back , u make them suspicious that you have something on you that you trying to hide
@@sherribatko8981... But coming to Australia as a tourist is a privilege and not a right. If you refuse the rules, you get sent back. Those searches are also so minor and not worth kicking up a fuss. It takes almost no time to do them.
Because of Sara, a lot of people are in trouble. She should face the QUADCOM to shed light to the disappearance of the Confidential Budget. She must return everything that she is hiding.
I love these sniffer dogs ❤🐕 . They obviously enjoy their jobs very much. However, I don't understand the special thing the handler gives to the dog. It looks like a folded towel. Why does the dog like it so much?
They like the toy/towel so much because it is the reward used during training. The reward is given to them after they find the drugs. Once found, the trainer gives them the reward, gives them praises and plays with them.
This is crazy. You are going to other countries you shld be aware their immigration law/ rules & you nee to comply if they ask you too. And please these people keep bringing foods….Crazy. $220 fines are not enough…too lame. Those kids of foods??? I’m sure they will do it again.
I flew between NYC and Caracas 15 times in 1988-1989. My wife, then fiancée, lived there. If anyone looked like a drug smuggler…look at all those passport stamps…it was me. Arriving home in NYC, I always went to the toughest looking Customs Officer’s line to kind of show I had nothing to hide. Can you believe it…only once was my bag even opened. I don’t get it. Caracas was a different story.
So worried about the mosquitoes they missed the khat forest? Seriously? Please tell me someone else caught the drugs and they were investigated instead of just destroyed because they were undeclared plants.
for the long amount of time for you guys to handle someone who refuses for an external body search is a big waste of resources! anyone who refuses a search that an officer deem is necessary to clear beyond reasonable doubt should be refused entry to the country! period! move on… jezzuzz what a waste of resources and tax money 🤮🙄

..'we need to know what your visiting in Melbourne and what you will see and do for the 7 days in melbourne'...it's Melbourne..people visit melbourne.. it is what it is
Always pick two or three things to answer them with. You don't have to do those things but very few people pick a place to vacation and know nothing about it. Even if they're lame things, come up with a few things.
$220 is just a joke, and why people repeatedly bring stuff int the country. No disincentive. How about confiscate everything not declared, $1000 fine and court for lying on a legal document.
It annoys me how they all play dumb when they bring all that food in, they can read their own language, start fining them thousands of dollars or imprisonment if they can't pay
Any insects they "find" will have already made it into Australia by the many parcels that are not checked and by the many many "visitors" and their loaded suitcases from the original country of origin.
SO I am Curious, Let say any of those People that were carrying drugs, weren't carrying drugs but had a halve doze ID's on them all with different names and even different from their Visa, Are you saying you would be letting them into Australia? And to think someone that may be Carrying " Factory Sealed " Food items can be kept out of Australia ???
There’s a few episodes about people being taken under suspicion for drugs, didn’t have any on them but did have IDs and credit cards with different names on them. They got in trouble and I think fined then deported. Also, if the item is forbidden, they will take it even if it’s factory sealed. The most common I’ve seen is Bird’s Nest.

Very good to hear this
Season 3 was actually released in 2005
This show has a total of 17 seasons now
It should start at 1k or 2k and refusal for entry on the spot
The fines on entry to Canada are bigger than Australia
Jake missed a golden opportunity after confirming the presence of drugs to look at the camera and get his best australian accent to say "Check, Mate"
True, but you have to give him credit for great Knight vision.
Mr. "Principal" appears to be walking a little strange. 😅
They know perfectly well what is says on the declaration card. It pisses me off when they try to play the ignorance excuse.
but they said sorry and gave a giggle
What do students do when the food they bring into the country runs out?...lol
They eat something besides curry and lentils 😅
Hard to find and more expensive 😅
Boil some rice ….
If passengers refuse it's simple send his happy tail back😂

$220 fine for bringing in bags and bags of snake and bug parts
NOT HIGH ENOUGH FINE.

The show comes from commerical TV, so it's going to keep repeating and recapping in the spots where there would've been ads.
