What is frustrating is that if you are only checking 2% and you can't check more because of logistical limitations then you need to admit control at the border isnt the solution. You have to do something about demand. Education. Alternatives. Legalization to make it less profitable. We have all these problems but the people in charge refuse to honestly address the problem. The BBC should be asking officials to cut the crap and admit failure so we can get started on a plan to actually do something about it.
Competition is already making the price lower and less profitable. Legalization will not make it any lower. Petrol is legalized but does that make petrol prices lower? This problem can easily be solved by just having lots of dogs around.
@@julianshepherd2038 If UK ceases drug containers then your daddy USA will not happy, They're the one who controls drug routes to europe , escpecially CIA has special hands in dirty business in both mexico and Afghanistan
Like most are saying, it's the demand that's the problem. In my country, the United States, I grew up with authorities saying "don't do drugs" and most of my peers saying drugs are amazing and the best fun they've had in their lives. That's the extent of the education on it, really. I didn't mess with cocaine, opioids, and other drugs because I'm a nerd and researched medical studies online when "shopping" for something fun and saw how terrible things could quickly go. It helped keep me away from alcohol as well
The demand can be destroyed if you do what it takes to all the time remove the supply, make it unattractive to supply or smuggle and foster a culture with people that don't see a reason to do drugs. Asia and Islamic cultures have performed well in that regard.
People today don't know what else is in These Drugs. I blame China. Obiden is letting it in . From the Ozarks Missouri. Protect your family Men and Ladies need to carry.2 Amendment 🇺🇸 🪖. Stand on the Rock not Sinking Sand ⌛

👍The biggest criminals are not those who sel drugs. The biggest criminals are politicians in critical positions(for example have you heard about the scandal in the European Union, if people would know everything(not only about the European Union), there would be a revolution in no time)
As long as there is money to be made with cocaine, there will be a way. If Antwerp (and Rotterdam) were to magically get rid of all cocaine traffickers, they'd pop up somewhere else the next day. I don't love the idea of legal and regulated cocaine, but I dont see any other way out that ends well.
Not sure about legalization, but decriminalization yes, so that addicts can seek help without fear of incarceration. Drug abuse is a public health problem not a crime problem. Need to address demand.
Legalize cocaine also means the Government has the rights to tax on it as well so it still benefits for them to prevent smugglers hogging all of the profits for themselves. I do agree it’s not a good idea but this is very hard to control since there’s too many inside jobs where security guard officers or guard often get bribed to let the products in

But how? Without their permission you can't interfere in their internal political or legal prosecution system. Also top politicians might be bribed by the drug cartels.
How about you legalize it, tax it, pay for treatment of addicts and remove the criminality from it? No one will ever stop the drug trade. Making it illegal makes it worse not better. No system is perfect but Portugal has done well with drug courts and legalization.

What's clear is we need an alternative approach to drugs. Things have only got worse & we know the more punitive the measures, the more severe the consequences. Let's regulate the entire drug market and have it under public control. It would reduce the risk of overdose - primarily because the substances would be chemically 'clean' and secondly because people would have more access to tools for harm reduction. A lot of people like a bump every now and then. But it would be safer for everyone if 40% of it wasn't a mixed bag of poison and cutting agents.
@Roger Mellie I'd argue far the opposite. It's more expensive and the quality is worse! The price has gone up and they're cutting it with more stuff than ever, to maximise profits.
Two thirds of police seizures are between 5% and 10%. If you got caught with such the police would be laughing at you, if you were caught with very strong coke the police would ask were did you get that?
Dude..one question why europe is fked with drug.. not other continent...science say drugs abuse dangerous..still so called "civilized society" hooked up with drug
In Britain, there are “points of invincibility”, which there will be called “heat banks.” The fact is that in Britain the bills for electricity and heating are so expensive now for ordinary mortal citizens that people simply die of cold in their homes. The Washington Post notes that this will enable thousands of Britons not to die this winter. Note that Britain is a super-rich country that has been robbing half of the world for hundreds of years, but due to the stratification of society and an ugly mixture of capitalism and monarchy, ordinary people are forced to die from the cold, while all sorts of grays, peers and lords rage with fat and continue to stir up wars in other countries.
At this point no wonder why people are against legalisation.. I'd say inspect those loudest voices against it.. as it's way more profitable to keep things as they are, instead of substances being manufactured according to standards and being taxed, You know how much that would already solve, if the gear moving between the people is high quality.. we need to legalise a good selection of substances for recreational and therapeutic use, with of course massive educational & awareness campaigns... It's everywhere anyways and the problems arise from it being criminal, bad manufacturing, unawareness & improper usage.

The best way we know of to handle drugs is to treat the underlying issues that drive people to drugs.

If we don't start encouraging striving for a good honest days work...there's one more generation that will bring the end of 3 generations of "Honest People".
It’s a fact the issue is not the younger generation. With enough education and mental health support people are MUCH less likely to do drugs. Whatever generation they belong to.
@@ellevasc I can see that. Maybe I'll add that it used to be shown how to be a "good person" by family traits. There used to be wisdom gained from listening to older adults. Now, all they get is, complaining and justifications for their piss poor attitudes and lack of fortune. No one wants to do a good days work. They want it handed to them and be able to take about it on SM
Ffs you lot are simpletons! Cocaine is less detrimental than alcohol that I bet you consume on a weekly basis! I'm talking about Cocaine not crack Cocaine as that's the devil. I know many Cocaine users they all rich work vert hard and have great moral compasses.
I bet many cocaine users now watching this video are like, fuck I wonder why it's getting so expensive since last month, again some shipment was caught. 😁
Maybe stop trying to control supply, and start trying to control demand. Either regulate it or try to decrease demand through education like we did with cigarettes (who’s usage has gone from being ubiquitous to almost no young people smoking them). Making something illegal just creates a black market which creates/attracts criminals and is a catalyst for the start/spread of power and wealthy criminal organization. It’s also a massive cost on the state when we could be taxing it and using that tax money for programs to reduce addiction and try to get the people to not use the drugs.

This theory is actually supported to be factual by the TPD laws introduced into some countries in Europe, due to the laws on nicotine strength and liquid amounts allowed a large flood of "illegal" disposable vapes have come flooding into the country, with this are the fakes, whilst many are legit and just shipped from countries with no tpd laws its also created somewhat of a black market of fakes being shipped I'm.

Belgium doesn’t seem like they’re doing well nowadays. All I see in the news about Belgium is cocaine and riots about the World Cup. Is everything really okay there?
This horrific trade is also killing wildlife and the rainforests were It's being grown and produced in vats, in chemicals. Chemicals when used end up in the earth and rivers in the rainforest.
@Jonatan D I never said we should make it illegal. I actually think it should be legalised like all the other drugs, it would be able to be produced in a lab environment and the chemicals would be able to be desposed of in a better way. It would also cut crime dramatically, it could generate tax, it would be better produced therefore safer and cleaner. I believe people should have the choice after all two of the most dangerous drugs are legal in almost all countries, alcohol and cigarettes.
It’s the mindset of the people, in Hong Kong, if you do drugs, people think of you as the lowest life form, poor, desperate and pathetic, people look down upon you. Kids stay away from drugs because of this negative association with drugs.
I remember this kind of deployment what they used to do in Florida send fake shipments of you know cocaine that they didn't really need and bring the real shipment in right up under the noses 🤣🤣🤣
Way back when I was in high school, it was teachers and janitors selling drugs. When I told my parents about the situation, man did my dad ever lay down the law on me. So I never spoke of it again. But when the police finally raided the school, 2 teachers and 3 janitors arrested, my parents were shocked lol. "No one knew this"? They asked lol.
The war on drugs failed many years ago. The only way to stop organised crime and the risks posed to users is through legalisation and regulation. You can then use the tax generated from this for rehabilitation, drug awareness and harm reduction initiatives
A shallow report, I miss the bigger picture.. Antwerp and Rotterdam are practicly one big harbour.. its only an hour drive in betweem them . the Dutch Maffia use Antwerp because of the quick customs 'banana' trade. Almost all of the assasanations in Antwerp are carried out by 'Maroccan' hitsquads from the four big citys in the Netherlands..
@@purplehaze8557It depends on how you look at it.. the end-user is in a way always the loser of course... but, I think that the Netherlands as a whole, and as exporting powerhouse, is a winner.. for controlling this shadow economy and money laundring a vast amount money. Dont forget. We had the first legal cocaine factory in early 1900s.. our chemical and medicine industry was booming during WW1 selling drugs to the allies and the germans.. nowadays.. Like most western country's the exotics do all the dirty work, however, if you are a regular dutch citizen (including most exotic dutch) you dont have do this kind of stuff to have a normal life.. its mainly outsourced to illegals/eastblock etc. I think if you look at drug use in dutch society, its the students and working adults who consume the most. there is not a specific ethnic group that is a victim here... only winners 'winning' haha ;-)

@@MetalheadAndNerd That's a €85k (base price) 2020 BMW 7 series, without rental stickers and a €5k Merino leather option. Guy's been inside for drug smuggling until relatively recently (based on the 17 years and that not usually being a crime that gets half time but I accept that's based on assumption) and clearly had history with it. Albeit repentant, I can see where the 'guarantee' -d perspective comes from. Though I hope he isn't, in the sense that it'd just be a very questionable move to appear in the piece when the option to not appear is there and well, it'd just be a degree of dumb that I think belongs, if anywhere, many steps further down the ladder.
1) If the port consists of 160 km of infrastructure, you can imagine what it would cost to close everything in a secure way. And security guards can always be corrupted or pressured into co-operating (or else...) 2) Only 2% of the containers are checked, but that is not the most interesting figure to check. What should be checked is the percentage of containers coming from countries that are the most likely to send drugs. It would be economically impossible to check every container, but excellent results can be obtained by targeting in a clever way combined with good intelligence (think cracking the Sky ECC network, that still results in extra arrests several months later, because there is an avalanche of intelligence that has to be processed). The number of kilograms of coke found in only 2 % of the containers doesn't mean that the other 98 % of containers will certainly contain a comparable number of kilograms. It will be much less 3) If there would be no demand, there would be no coke problem. Punish users much harder, and the problem will decrease. 4) For the moment being, Antwerp is not Chicago in the roaring twenties. It's not like in Amsterdam, where most of the murders are drug-related. For the moment being, attacks on homes only happened in the night, and only caused some minor damage, but more psychological pressure. Those performing these attacks are generally not the brighest bulbs, sometimes shooting on the wrong house. Several of them were arrested. Sending 4 dark skinned young males driving around in a car with Dutch licence plates at 3 o'clock in boring suburbia's of Antwerp isn't exactly the way Special Ops soldiers would handle things. But the menaces are increasing, and the Minister of Justice announced that he had to go for a second time into hiding in a safe house, after new threats. 5) Since Antwerp is a gateway to Europe, and since cocaine is a serious problem for the whole of Europe and not just Belgium, it would be great if the European institutions could help to fund sealing off the most vulnerable parts of the port of Antwerp and fund more scanners. Belgium is almost bankrupt, it can't provide all the investments that might help to lower the problem. And of course, if you make one port safer, there are always other ports to be found in the world
Punishing Users harder has been attempted for decades with no success and has led to increases in violence. It is time to focus on Decriminalisation and rehabilitation
@@Retroscoop Yes Decriminalisation of Coke not Legalisation Which means that people who are caught with coke for their own consumption will be treated as someone who is sick and needs help rather than a criminal. Dealers and Smugglers will still be prosecuted

It’s a fact the issue is not the younger generation. With enough education and mental health support people are MUCH less likely to do drugs. Whatever generation they belong to.
@@ellevasc I can see that. Maybe I'll add that it used to be shown how to be a "good person" by family traits. There used to be wisdom gained from listening to older adults. Now, all they get is, complaining and justifications for their piss poor attitudes and lack of fortune.
No one wants to do a good days work. They want it handed to them and be able to take about it on SM

I bet many cocaine users now watching this video are like, fuck I wonder why it's getting so expensive since last month, again some shipment was caught. 😁
Maybe stop trying to control supply, and start trying to control demand.
Either regulate it or try to decrease demand through education like we did with cigarettes (who’s usage has gone from being ubiquitous to almost no young people smoking them).
Making something illegal just creates a black market which creates/attracts criminals and is a catalyst for the start/spread of power and wealthy criminal organization.
It’s also a massive cost on the state when we could be taxing it and using that tax money for programs to reduce addiction and try to get the people to not use the drugs.

@@joexavier4070 your friend’s addiction should have been treated as a medical issue, not a criminal issue. It is difficult to get help if you view yourself as a criminal and not a victim.
This theory is actually supported to be factual by the TPD laws introduced into some countries in Europe, due to the laws on nicotine strength and liquid amounts allowed a large flood of "illegal" disposable vapes have come flooding into the country, with this are the fakes, whilst many are legit and just shipped from countries with no tpd laws its also created somewhat of a black market of fakes being shipped I'm.

This horrific trade is also killing wildlife and the rainforests were It's being grown and produced in vats, in chemicals. Chemicals when used end up in the earth and rivers in the rainforest.
Making it ilegal and unregulated doesn't exactly help.
@Jonatan D I never said we should make it illegal. I actually think it should be legalised like all the other drugs, it would be able to be produced in a lab environment and the chemicals would be able to be desposed of in a better way. It would also cut crime dramatically, it could generate tax, it would be better produced therefore safer and cleaner. I believe people should have the choice after all two of the most dangerous drugs are legal in almost all countries, alcohol and cigarettes.
@@ABloodyEyeFull
I didn't say you did.
It’s the mindset of the people, in Hong Kong, if you do drugs, people think of you as the lowest life form, poor, desperate and pathetic, people look down upon you. Kids stay away from drugs because of this negative association with drugs.
Legalize it, problem solved.

Way back when I was in high school, it was teachers and janitors selling drugs. When I told my parents about the situation, man did my dad ever lay down the law on me. So I never spoke of it again. But when the police finally raided the school, 2 teachers and 3 janitors arrested, my parents were shocked lol. "No one knew this"? They asked lol.
a friend of mine is addicted to crack, recently he won 25k and a car, 5 weeks later everything was smoked up
Yea it’s flooding but it’s cut and touched so many times its garbage by the time it’s in the buyer's hands
It should be legalized.

legalize and tax
The war on drugs failed many years ago. The only way to stop organised crime and the risks posed to users is through legalisation and regulation. You can then use the tax generated from this for rehabilitation, drug awareness and harm reduction initiatives
A shallow report, I miss the bigger picture.. Antwerp and Rotterdam are practicly one big harbour.. its only an hour drive in betweem them . the Dutch Maffia use Antwerp because of the quick customs 'banana' trade. Almost all of the assasanations in Antwerp are carried out by 'Maroccan' hitsquads from the four big citys in the Netherlands..
Who are the victims? Native Dutch or exotics?
@@purplehaze8557It depends on how you look at it.. the end-user is in a way always the loser of course... but, I think that the Netherlands as a whole, and as exporting powerhouse, is a winner.. for controlling this shadow economy and money laundring a vast amount money. Dont forget. We had the first legal cocaine factory in early 1900s.. our chemical and medicine industry was booming during WW1 selling drugs to the allies and the germans.. nowadays.. Like most western country's the exotics do all the dirty work, however, if you are a regular dutch citizen (including most exotic dutch) you dont have do this kind of stuff to have a normal life.. its mainly outsourced to illegals/eastblock etc. I think if you look at drug use in dutch society, its the students and working adults who consume the most. there is not a specific ethnic group that is a victim here... only winners 'winning' haha ;-)

In Britain, there are “points of invincibility”, which there will be called “heat banks.” The fact is that in Britain the bills for electricity and heating are so expensive now for ordinary mortal citizens that people simply die of cold in their homes.
The Washington Post notes that this will enable thousands of Britons not to die this winter.
Note that Britain is a super-rich country that has been robbing half of the world for hundreds of years, but due to the stratification of society and an ugly mixture of capitalism and monarchy, ordinary people are forced to die from the cold, while all sorts of grays, peers and lords rage with fat and continue to stir up wars in other countries.

We have shootings almost every day and they are destroying the entire city but also undermining the economy. It has become a war unfortunately….

@@MetalheadAndNerd That's a €85k (base price) 2020 BMW 7 series, without rental stickers and a €5k Merino leather option. Guy's been inside for drug smuggling until relatively recently (based on the 17 years and that not usually being a crime that gets half time but I accept that's based on assumption) and clearly had history with it. Albeit repentant, I can see where the 'guarantee' -d perspective comes from. Though I hope he isn't, in the sense that it'd just be a very questionable move to appear in the piece when the option to not appear is there and well, it'd just be a degree of dumb that I think belongs, if anywhere, many steps further down the ladder.

Why not legalize it and keep the money within Europe? Clearly everyone is taking it there since the volume is so high. Whats there to lose?
Chocolate and Cocaine. Wow.
1) If the port consists of 160 km of infrastructure, you can imagine what it would cost to close everything in a secure way. And security guards can always be corrupted or pressured into co-operating (or else...)
2) Only 2% of the containers are checked, but that is not the most interesting figure to check. What should be checked is the percentage of containers coming from countries that are the most likely to send drugs. It would be economically impossible to check every container, but excellent results can be obtained by targeting in a clever way combined with good intelligence (think cracking the Sky ECC network, that still results in extra arrests several months later, because there is an avalanche of intelligence that has to be processed). The number of kilograms of coke found in only 2 % of the containers doesn't mean that the other 98 % of containers will certainly contain a comparable number of kilograms. It will be much less
3) If there would be no demand, there would be no coke problem. Punish users much harder, and the problem will decrease.
4) For the moment being, Antwerp is not Chicago in the roaring twenties. It's not like in Amsterdam, where most of the murders are drug-related. For the moment being, attacks on homes only happened in the night, and only caused some minor damage, but more psychological pressure. Those performing these attacks are generally not the brighest bulbs, sometimes shooting on the wrong house. Several of them were arrested. Sending 4 dark skinned young males driving around in a car with Dutch licence plates at 3 o'clock in boring suburbia's of Antwerp isn't exactly the way Special Ops soldiers would handle things. But the menaces are increasing, and the Minister of Justice announced that he had to go for a second time into hiding in a safe house, after new threats.
5) Since Antwerp is a gateway to Europe, and since cocaine is a serious problem for the whole of Europe and not just Belgium, it would be great if the European institutions could help to fund sealing off the most vulnerable parts of the port of Antwerp and fund more scanners. Belgium is almost bankrupt, it can't provide all the investments that might help to lower the problem. And of course, if you make one port safer, there are always other ports to be found in the world
