Bro got arrested and shook the officers hand and smiled lmao
Lol I think he was on coke and then we watched it wear off with time 😂
Why you think he was high on coke
He was ZOOOTED lmao
He's as baked as a creme brulee. You should expect it.
that guy is getting used to this. his attitude seems typical criminal whos done this all his life. lol
The older gentleman and the blue look like he was tired of the game and almost was happy that he caught. That's a stressful life to live
yes, his story must be really sad.
@@liamcarey4957he's probably a crack head
At least they didn't pay some pregnant mule they did it themselves
@@liamcarey4957 or it could just be a wrong place wrong time scenario.
imagine sitting in the plane thinking: yess! I've made it, haha! and then they come get you LOL
No matter how hard you try to hide it, you will always be caught.
@@dmana3172 not always, and in this case they were set up.
@@dmana3172 lol, if that were even remotely true then why do thousands of people keep doing it?. 99% get away with it.
Imagine labeling your cocaine packets 1/20 lmao
😂
That 'label ' indicates WHO gets that package 📦 😳
It's a number, dude.
thats very common
not when it has number on them@@markdemo6814
With the technology nowadays, you gotta give it a better effort than just putting it inside your luggage.
The public probably doesn't know the full extent of everything they can do. Not worth it.
@@damienholland8103 Except the "public" is getting more drugs through than are being confiscated. In other words, it works more times than it doesn't or else the drug war would've been a success.
These cartels get super creative
Definitely a setup
@@dopefiendchronicles2974 cartels sometimes use horses to transport drugs which is why if you have a large animal such as a horse and you cross the border with it they require it to wait a few days to be checked over by a vet. Cartels have reduced their drug smuggling inside of animals due to the mandatory waiting time and vet checks.
i appreciate how direct these officers/customs agents are. No beating around the bush, straight to the point. I respect it
how unaware you need to be to just pack the whole bag with bricks of coke lol
He doesn't look suspicious 😂😂 he think everything gonna be OK
The program is a really good deterrence . Don't smuggle drugs. Don't do illegal things.
These programs have help the general public immensely. Nowadays you got to be under the influence or under severe financial stress to do this. There other ways to make a quick Buck and not walk into the lions den. The airports are too well equipped now.
Literal tons of drugs get into the US every single day either by car ,ship or plane.
The stuff you see seized in these programs is a tiny amount that gets in daily .
And most of these busts are probably called in to the authorities by the same drug dealers that are sending the drugs in the first place .
They just throw law enforcement a bone once in a while to justify their jobs
Really ? If it was true this show should have been over years ago
@@JeanClaudeCOCO what are some other ways to make a quick buck?
I would like to see an update on those who got arrested.
How much clothes did you bring?
About 10 kilos
Of clothes? 😂😂😂
That’s the best thing I’ve heard on this whole show
I peed a little 😂
that was classic
where , next time tag the time bro 😅
I brought 20kg of clothes when going to Canada, its possible xD
@@Remy-hf6btjust a watch the video lil guy
bro in the sweater snitching as soon as he get in the cop car😂
He dead then they dont play like that over there
@@CVBFonzP7Bhe dead either way In prison
As he should!
@@CVBFonzP7Bwell at least he try 😅
One of the people working with the bags was trying to load the second missing bag up to the Airplane real quick. I would check him out real good.
Thank you, even though my only child died from drugs, hopefully someone will be saved
My son is an alcoholic...and guess what? The dealers and the state are making money of his misery...
i'm so sorry for your loss, we all have struggles but what matters is getting up and feeling better. stay strong. these guys did in fact save a lot of lives, my condolences go to you and your family.
@@christiansock6309so the dealers and the state poured alcohol down your sons throat? First part of recovery is taking responsibility for your actions and admitting YOU have a problem. Sorry he is going through that. But it’s not the states fault your son couldn’t not stop drinking and get to that point. For Christ sake you wake up hungover the next day. You really have to make an effort to become an alcoholic. It’s not like you have a couple drinks and your physically addicted. It’s not like opiates. That kid wanted to party and get drunk and wouldn’t stop until it became a problem. And now it’s someone else’s fault?
@@michaeldecosta4359 So then why make these drugs illegal?
@michaeldecosta4359 make them legal then
you play STUPID GAME, you win STUPID PRIZE. Bravo to these officers.
Yep
But drugs are still one the street so its just for the cameras
The sad part about this is that most of these people seem to have been preyed on by organised crime, considering a lot of the drug traffickers seem to be doing this to support their families. It's also sad that a lot of them had the opportunity to talk to the officers and tell them about their situation, but since organised crime has been shown to retaliate at anyone that gives up any information about them, those families that they've been desperately wanting to help could be put in danger. They're vulnerable people, either because they were from the start or made themselves exploitable by people like this. Individuals usually aren't the biggest problem when it comes to drug trafficking, especially not seemingly regular people like this, but rather those behind them.
Stop feeling bad for criminals
A whole epistle for people you don’t know…
Definitely and they don’t deserve to rot in jail and their families dont deserve to be destroyed. Some might have actually been forced to do this. To me they aren’t criminals. They are victims and don’t do harm to anybody. It‘s everybody’s own decisions to do drugs or not if they‘re adults.
They should have blur their face 😢
This people know what they doing😂😂
Yeah the government hates competition
You don’t fight crime by becoming a criminal. Yes the government is scum, but so are they!
They wrap coke suitcases in yellow shrink wrap there?
Why not just put a big yellow sign saying coke-eye-yeen is in here please arrest me.
Dude!😆
I’m so confused by the neon wrapped cases lol
Maybe it's really because for 2020 something you can't put this like that 😂
@22:26 that cop definitely was vaping in the airport but he hid it well enough 😂
good eye🤣
@@Remy-hf6bt😀👍
11 kilos for ten thousand. Fire deal !!
🎉🎉🎉🎉
I was amazed at the price difference. It’s like $300,000 in Netherlands…300% markup in Europe I guess.
2 different people with bright green wrapped luggage carrying drugs. Brilliant
i know. it was florescent!
Any airport from Mexico south is better than any beauty contest. Incredible.
These series are great , better than cable tv
It was really cool to see them carefully looking for drugs. These days, celebrities' drug use is controversial, and I hope that many people will get away from drugs as soon as possible.
Reading your comment with a piece of foil in front of me 🙄😳
@@JohnDoe-lx5rm😂
10 kilos of clothes 😂
😆
They just out here poking all types of bags 😂
For drug dealers it would be a taste test but how else would you test it without poking it?
@@tbone3972 wish American s were this efficient!
When those two guys had bricks in their suitcase, I knew what it was before the announcer said what it was
Great education isnt it!
They should’ve just put it on a CIA plane 😂
Am I the only person who noticed two different busts had same suit case and that green plastic wrap for weather proofing I think they got sacrificed so a bigger load would get threw
They're not gonna analyze those bricks they're gonna sell them lol
Really respect these officers!👍
The stuff they stop from getting through ,does so little, it's not even measurable.
Clearly they had someone on the inside at the Airport and the connection was not made. Had that connection been made, they would have slipped through which again clearly shows that someone is working with them on the SA end. Either way someone lost alot of money
The ones smuggling into USA, Canada, Australia or UK were using much more sophisticated methods, these ones just loaded so randomly. Interesting
Agreed it’s so careless
it's crazy how they actually take the product out of its packing and transfer it before weighing! That seems very unsafe! To the young ladies that got caught together, they should of chased a career in modeling instead! At least the one that spoke to her mother! She was absolutely gorgeous!!
Well not now right after getting caught like that. It’s a federal crime they would serve like 10 years in federal prison. Too late for that.
Agente: ¿cuanta ropa va a llevar?
Señor: 10 kilos.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In GRU, they should do a film on the airport workers who are working with traffickers and swichting out innocent peoples luggage with drugs, who then get arrested on arrival in their international destination.
You couldn’t pay me enough money, to smuggle drugs, especially internationally. The thought of spending up to 20 years in prison? Nope.
Just walk across the US border, the gov will help you.
How do they pass at the boarding airports with cocaine only to be caught at the alighting entry Airport. I don't get this
The difference between 20 years is their age 😔
Watching, thankyou.
Listening, your welcome.
Great sharing where I got it from you!
This is by the best one yet!!!!🎉
This video is a fever dream
These guys are the Sherlock Holmes and Columbo at finding drugs. If you have them these guys will find them.
I’m trying to find some as we speak
😎 spotted.
Ok thanks for telling us your business
😂😂
@@davidjulesarseneau6364 take some clothes off
I wouldn’t talk either with cameras and my accomplice with me 😂😂😂😂
It's always the poorest people who pay the most. It's really sad because they're in many cases just trying to feed their families.
I watched too much Locked Up Abroad so it’s cool to see how the smugglers get caught nowadays in Brazil and Peru and yeah they got this down tight. You’re not getting past them and you have to be either high or super desperate to even attempt this!
Best show ever!
If i know theres something in my luggage im running 🏃♂️ gotta catch me bro lol
Thank you❤
That yearly amount is staggering when you consider that only a small percentage of smugglers are caught.
I cant' help but feel sorry for these people :(
12:23 bro congratulated the officers for doing their jobs well
9:02 What does that mean? Officers HAVE TO confiscate at least 300 kg of cocaine in a month? Or what? Are they getting less payed?
It sounds like a personal goal as opposed to a professional performance metric.
How did they already get it on the plane
Wow wonderful and great job of these officers 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Agree they are several steps ahead of American airports! There system is awesome! And these officers are so professional!
I admire their security so much more then ours.
@@STORMY0Ofrr agreed
Thank you
It’s weird how they pour the powder from bag to bag right there in the open without even wearing a mask.
These documentaries are made for people with extreme short memory loss
Anyone will become nervous if taken for questioning like this then cross questiobed.
12:17 your under arrest my pleasure loool
those officers don’t play! they are very good at their jobs.
Love this show. It’s so interesting. Thanks for uploading!
Me too
Im new to this show my question is what happens after they destroy someones stuff trying to fine drugs and it ends up there is noting how pays for the damage poeples stuff
The don’t, you waved your rights when you travel through an airport. They have a ton of power working at international borders. They can strips search you, go through your phone, car, basically anything you brought with you at the airport.
@@JeanClaudeCOCOthey tape it back and let you free. If you want you can file a complaint so probably get a refund for the broken bag but the cops won’t care.
they will compensate for the luggage.
File complaint, youll get compensation, either new bag or money
Well, we've learned theres absolutely nothing to lose by always answering "no" to the question "are you carrying anything illegal"?
24:16 Why are sum luggages wrapped in that lime green wrap?
Ten kilos of clothes??? 😂😂😂 That dude ratted himself lol
The sophistication of these smuggling operations were about as deep as a chimpanzee writing the next american novel
Yes, they pick on the individuals try to make a buck, instead of the big guys, because they have already paid their dues.
Those 2 girls i started to cry because of how beautiful they are, and how young, no lie
The cops packing all the coke in that one big bag def got a little high with all that coke dust
Estrojim said hurry up lmao😂😂😂
that image of a chainsaw in the first inspection room on the forbidden equipment... I mean come on.... but you know that it's there cause some one tried it
They never stop trying. It's not worth it to much time when your caught
Wait, you said 1.996 Kg? Dang, they're gonna come looking for that 0.004 Kg.
These cops are so professional and transparent about what they are doing. America needs to learn from them lol.
The people lie so bad and nonchalant with a straight face lol
Goodness gracious, the Brazilian women 😅
Very interesting
Check the professional builder
It would be scary going to prison in Peru. Albeit, it would be scary going to prison in any country.
The worst drug smugglers no creativity
These mules don't realize that the fit a profile😮🤔😵💫
What were they thinking 😮
💸💸💸
Nice Commercial for the Swisstool
"Suspicious bricks".
If he uses the same knife each time couldn’t it be cross contamination?
The fact he just stabs inside packages is crazy, one day it might not be cocaine and then it's airborne. No safey at all but that's expected in these countries.
@@80sOutrunFan Or he doesn't have any hand left.
"MOM, I messed up" everyone can relate😢
Nat Geooo 😃
Their lives screwed up all for the sake of money , that’s so stipid but also tempting
18:19 got me sweating wow
All I can weigh is those who carry forbidden things in their baggage...stuff that can only be seized or they can be fined for....when the real crime is the smuggling of drugs in their body. But agents investigation ends at the discovery of the items in the baggage. Its weird and understandable because its almost like comparing apples to oranges, a different train of thought all together.
Drugs are drugs no matter where they carry them , At the is an illegal action which must be punished by All means
Matatan
Ribirin H-S.😮.
at 10:29 bro even has a coke nail
yes!!! i saw that
Respect, obey, and support our Local and State Police officers and all First Responders 🕊🙏🗽‼️
That's how I woulda felt when I got hit by the car if I didn't have a pair lmao😂😂😂
The loss of my freedom will always outweigh my need for anything else. I think of all the misery that officers like these are trying to eliminate, and I respect them for it all the more.
The enforcement in purple knows how to collect off others losses
I appreciate our many cultures, being good police
I got a runny nose after looking at those pure bricks of coke.
I got a bloody one... 😂
It's not a field test it's an airport test 😂😂😂
I can’t believe that
They actually being handing out crazy sentences there tho?? I thought only America was giving 15 years for Coke tbh
