This lady is doing a wonderful service!
Do you know what else is illegal, stealing? Do your jobs, law enforcement, and citizens won't have to resort to these tactics.
Reasons why I'm reluctant to visit various countries. As a New Yorker I haven't needed to deal with too much thievery outside of middle school.
@@DJRonnieG you are from N.Y and you don''t want to visit other countried bc of criminality. It is like being from Afghanistan and not wanting to visit other countries because of internal turmoil.
@@juancatabeta5500Europe has way more pick picketers than New york.
@@annmcdonald7713 Crime rate is crazy in NYC and the US in general. Maybe pickpocketting is the exception.
Exactly
I’m with this woman. She is conscious and motivated unlike that police speaker.
Everything is simple - if the government doesn’t take care of business, then people will.
Eliana Guerrero is amazing she has been at this for many years and she simply says she wants tourists to go home and say they enjoyed Barcelona rather than to say they were pickpocketed in Barcelona. She knows who the pickpockets are and where they like to work how they work. As already said, if the police did their job she wouldn’t have to do it for them
Eliana Guerrero is from Venezuela 🇻🇪 she migrated from her motherland because the socialism destroyed the whole country. She loved Spain and gives all her heart to defend it and avoid the collapse of this country like Venezuela. Definitely, she honors her surname (Guerrero = Warrior).
I would like to rectify that Eliana is from the north of Colombia. She lived in a similar situation there, with the guerrillas and drug cartel damaging her country. But she is from Colombia, not Venezuela.
So basically this woman is letting everyone know that they CANNOT defend themselves against criminals?! WOW. No wonder Spain is doing so great
What's illegal about a mobile recorder? Literally every smartphone records people's movements every minute of every day and cctv watches you everywhere
Yeah I was kinda shocked by that statement too.
If Spanish police did their jobs, she wouldn’t be there
Es muy cierto
They work hand in hand with them.
That police spokeswoman sounds like a San Francisco Bleed'N Heart'D Liberal'/!!!
Sadly I have to agree. Too much political correctness and doing nothing are ruining our society! @@kbrich-nn8od
@@kbrich-nn8od THAT woman is a great example of the stupidity level knocking down Europe. They are everywhere ... its a covert pandemic
Citizens fighting back! I love it
Disgraceful comments from the authorities
Que autoridades?😅
Spain's police should give her an award 🎖️🏆 for fighting crime & bringing evidence for court cases against thieves
I remember I met a beautiful woman at the bar. Was going back with her to my apartment, then some dude stole the phone out of her purse. We tried to chase after him but he was gone. She went home in tears and I went home alone. I’ll never forget that day.
damn, got cockblocked by a pickpocketer
He ruined your night!
Never forget, never forgive.
Authorities should be ashamed of themselves for condoning this illegalities!
Well done to them for exposing them
If the police did their job, she wouldn’t need to do this. It’s the same the world over. When citizens actually want to sort a problem out the officials say oh don’t bother we’ll do it and then they give up halfway through.
What a worthless cop!
I'd just like to ask the police chief who she is protecting
Here's a good idea. Get a really tough inner bag, to place inside an outer bag, and make it a tempting target. In the bag have several pieces of tangled razor wire: maybe even coated with something really nasty.
A bag or pocket with fish hooks sewn into it works a treat.
Here’s an idea, skip the Barcelona.
@@kevinreily2529might as well skip european countries all together because they are all over
Booby traps are illegal. Though I suggest a mouse trap.
This lady doing the police's work while they do nothing.
lol, I love it when the police get mad because you make them look bad.
What a queen.
Whatever works to stop thieves
People should start a gofundme to fund these residents for volunteering and even risking confrontational reactions from these pickpocketers
Why is moble recording illegal?
That lady saying no mase or recording device lol what are you doing to help
Because she’s for it and don’t want any solutions for the crimes in order to give herself relevance towards having something to point to, to have fake outrage, for things be about her as solution to the problem.
1:50 Hold on, isn't the pickpockets' activity more illegal? U should be doing what those brave citizens are doing, why don't u crack down on the pickpockets in earnest?
✌
if they are caught with stolen items that add up to 400€ or more they'll go to jail
maybe the police should be arresting the pick pocketers.
Di indonesia pencopet yang ketahuan bisa dipukuli orang lokal sekitar, atau sudah babak belur kemudian baru diserahkan polisi, bahkan tidak jarang mereka mati ditempat 🤧
Well done - the authorities need to get the finger out !
How can we support her efforts??
You can’t record in public in Barcelona?
I love how the spokesperson doesn’t admit there’s a pickpocket issue. It’s the people trying to stop it voluntarily that are clearly the issue 🙄
Went there once. Thankfully, i didn't get caught out by pickpockets but was always vigilant. Not relaxing. I'll never go back because of them.
I was pickpocketed این barcelona airport police are useless Learning my lesson now I keep my cash and cards in my shoes
She should get paid well for her work.
It's ashame that pickpocketers have more rights than regular people who get robbed or just try to protect themselves. What are we supposed to do? give them all our belongings ?
I seriously don't understand that mentality of the authorities 😑
My money and vacation time will not be sent to Spain at all . I want to spend money and not to be pickpocketed
Lazy Spanish people. They need to find a decent job.
Find out where pick pockets come from and what they look like, then avoid them. I buskered for 6 years in Barcelona. If I tell you who and where the pick pockets are from I'll be called a racist and get kicked off youtube.
@@unabrazoatodoslosbuenosit doesn't matter where are they from, they are doing it in Barcelona bc Barcelona law protects them more than the victim, the problem here is Barcelona
That Police Union is the first big problem that needs to be overcome!
Do your damn job Police and we wont need vigilante!
God bless you Madam🙏
I won’t be touring in Spain.
I go to the nude beach..no pockets 💅🏿
No todos somos carteristas? Jajaja
Pienso que este año vinieron mas de 80 millones de turistas????
Ahora mismo España y Barcelona va sobrada de turistas .
It's all over Europe,not just in Spain.
Maybe the police should do their job instead of being “not happy” about it
Police protect the pickpockets
Eliana is my hero !
It's a shame Parisians don't do the same.
they do, they were several videos lately, they follow the girls everywhere and yell "pick pocket , pick pocket" , it's hilarious.
4-digit Combination PADLOCK on your Bag how do hide your combination if someone looking
as long as the group seems competent i dont care if they are recording, as she said its in the public intrest. on the otherhand if the group was only karens, this could be annoying.
Good for her! She is doing us all a great service. She probably has to do this because the police probably don't do anything about it
Were the Police???
Better not to go to Barcelona at all.
So the people catching pickpockets are illegal??
can you put a decoy in your back pocket decoy wallet with fake cards and use anti theft bag with rfid blocking Slash resistant straps
You did great
The Spanish Police must be very busy eating Spanish Donuts 😬
😂😂
Pockets Picked
More eyes the better!
France has pickpocketers too. Why not a segment of them in Paris.
because French
Barcelona has many and dangerous city. I got pickpocket in barcelona, definitely will not come back to this poor city
Nos Roban porque no vas preparado ni mentalizado y se cometen errores y se les da facilidades ,a mí no me volverán a quitar la cartera .@@ardilahayu822
@@ardilahayu822ahora mi cartera billetero tiene una buena cadena .
Are they mostly Tigani?
Funny and not funny, my mom on her last day in Spain got stole. Thankfully only 40euro. They were around her trying to sell flowers. They were quick, the money was in front in banana wallet, and the wallet with zipper inside.
Fair play to them. Maybe if the police did their job citizens would not have to do it for them. She is the hero the police are the zeros.
authorities comment dangerous ---- its dangerous having all your identity stolen too ... // good job --
When i go to Barcelona i carry my fishing hooks in my back pockets.
Well, Eliana has worn her bag wrongly. She should have put her bag on her chest.
This is why I never go to Barcelona!
En Barcelona sobran turistas,por turistas no será jaja
Pickpockets are present in every city and in every country.
My thoughts were a broken arm or hand would be a lesson.
Well at least they are doing something because the police DONT do anything. What do you expect???
Police should do their job that’s the problem.
Where are the police? Oh, I am sorry, they are plain lazy and incompetent.
As spaniard 10/10
Central Barcelona is one of the worst European cities for petty crime.
Police is not happy because she is doing their jobs
mira como se ríen la guardia urbana, así trabajan 😂
Barcelona is ridden with crime
That police spokeswoman sounds like a San Francisco Bleed'N Heart'D Liberal'/!!!
The woke brigade (the pencil-pushing bureaucrats, many of whom were awarded jobs through nepotism) does not want citizens to act on what their incompetent police force does not want to fight. Way to go, Barcelona.
Ask for work if they dont give you work ask for bread if they dont give you bread, take the bread.
La borsa avanti i soldi in tasca avanti,,,,vedrai che le ladre
Non rubano,,,,,
police we are so upset citizens are doing the job we are paid to do but neglect--- ermmmmm funny that
Stop it Barca fans
2024 April. Still the same
Useless police.
cuidado! Pickpockets
Why anyone would wear their wallet or phone in their back pocket is beyond any reason , that’s the definition of insanity
That’s a disaster waiting to happen .
Think logically, use that brain of yours when you go out to use the metro
Why blame innocent instead of thieves
@@fpark101 because their hand will not be cut up when they get caught XD
Lol wat
Romania was a great addition to the EU....
Well, bad looks, she comes across as a person who doesn't have a fulfilling life. Apparently she has nothing else to do. Besides, it's not her job!
does she have go fund me?
What a stupid country? Photographing pickpockets is illegal but pickpockets deemed legal.
I really love Eliana and her team for good job!
