I’m super jealous of that lady’s van. She had it set up real perfect where it actually works and isn’t completely cramped…. Also the exterior; the gold color with the desert art.
The van which the woman from the Texas/Mexican border has been living in is in much better shape than the van my uncle lives in by far. Including despite every crevice & spot in her van is occupied with stuff, she still has the cab more organized as well.
Because it is being brought into another country... Each country can control what is brought in. Also gold is a high theft item and constantly stolen and melted down into other products.
Did none of you even watch the documentary? it’s considered illegal gold because it’s literally being mined illegally in Columbia where violent gangs are destroying the environment to get their hands on it. They are then sending it around the globe to be sold. That’s why it’s illegal.
1-2-3-4 how many chromosomes do you have. Oh they're drooling. They spent 5 mins explaining what made it illegal. I swear y'all just empty brain folks.
That airsoft gun was totally legal. It had the rollmarks from Wisconsin. I'm going to assume it was trademark of BCM and they sell their trademark to a lot of airsoft companies and it had an orange tip. It could be painted or it could be molded it doesn't matter as long as it's orange. It looking "realistic" is also not a rule
Pretty sure it's called being smart about the laws so not to be screwed over. I would rather be the nerd who knows his rights than the idiot who thinks he knows everything but has no clue.
These gold chains can be bought anywhere in Colombia or South America. Whether it is illegally mined or not , a good deal is never overlooked by anyone.
@@Brett733 It would be a Rolex Submariner Reference 16613. Around mid 80s-90s production. He could've bought it awhile ago when prices weren't anywhere near as high as they are now.
As a European I would very much like to know who was the person in American law enforcement community who decided "We are not ever gonna say DOG, we will say CANINE".
Nobody finds it strange that these agents are always wearing $15k Submariner Rolex's? They are in charge of finding fakes, surely they aren't wearing them ... hmm
12:31 is a Men's Rolex Submariner 40mm Oyster Perpetual Two Tone 18K Yellow Gold / Stainless Steel Watch with black Dial and Black Bezel value at $15,995
Yeah but the thing is,, MANY resources in the US are detrimental to the planet and world. The US DOESNT CARE about that. It's that they didn't get their cut. That's why it's illegal. They use this as an excuse to seize it. What do you think happens? They sell the gold. Lmao proceeds of crime
It’s like a 8000 dollar watch… guy probably makes 130,000 a year with overtime. Working class people actually do buy Rolex watches it’s not always rappers and criminals or lawyers or doctors lol
Because the people that do this job are on a power trip . You have to have a certain mentality to want to go out of your way today be in law enforcement. 90% don’t care if their making a difference
@@EmmaLiu-k3q yes the tip must be made of pumpkins or sweet potato or similar, something naturally orange. artificially colored tips do not count as orange tips as they are just painted on. it's important for police safety
@@EmmaLiu-k3qwow way to catch that! I don’t think anyone else was as observant as you to see that! It was hard to see what was going on especially after he said and pointed it out.
So... don't wear your high-end jewelry on trips. They'll confiscate and claim for trafficking?¿? What expenses are you out pocket to prove costs it's yours? 🤔🤯
You always need receipts so you can pay the duty. And if you're crazy enough to take expensive pieces with you, you need documentation showing it wasn't acquired before you left.
As a long hall trucker I ran from Ont Canada Brantford to Laredo Texas border with Mexico . I drove into Mexico to deliver my load ... Was crazy seeing trucks with no doors windshield lights except headlight an tail all others gone only 4 of 8 tires on rear bald ... Crazy ..I was driving new truck double bunk an new 53 foot trailer ... I off loaded an got the neck out of there , the streets were so tight to move through but I wasn't losing my trailer as we had a few stolen and with a drone found them converted into Mexico homes ... Wheels kicked out from under them . and seen a Texas police SUV being driven around ... Only way to get it back had to steal it ... I believe its still over there . no one going to risk their life to go get it ... Crazy ...
Thanks to all of you hereo's who are doing your best to keep us all safe. I would like the value of the gold stolen from the people of the forest be returned to the.
Speaking completely from experience of having local officers draw guns on my cousin and I, law enforcement does not take realistic looking toy gun replicas lightly. I did not understand as a child, my cousin and I were just being kids and no one taught us otherwise. I understand now.
Not sure why the officer said that the 46.54 kg of cocaine is a suicide load. 1.37 million is a lot of drugs just to throw away. I do not think that officer knows much about that.
Just an FYI a single, small ounce, of gold is like $2500 and a Kilo is upwards $80k. That chain and bracelet can easily be $30k. Those are both 24K as well.
At 10:50, I tried to find an airsoft gun to carry with me when i walk my dog because my dog has been attacked 3 times by unleashed dogs and wanted one that didn't look like a real gun. I wanted a bright color so it wouldn't be mistaken for a real gun. I was amazed at how difficult it was to find one. Toys should not look like actual guns. There's just no need for it.
These are trained professionals who take stuff like this extremely seriously I’m mean just look at their dedication to get illegal things off the streets! I highly doubt a federal agent is willing to throw away a great career to get high! It just doesn’t make sense 😭 they get drug tested spontaneously !! gotta be very ignorant to believe they would actually risk their jobs to get high .😂
Ok, how would you fight drugs. Now remember you gotta convince like 200 other folks from 2 political parties to also agree. But please tell us how you would combat the drugs in America the only country with a drug problem. No other country has that.

Illegal gold.. tell me why it receives that label, other than the fact that the us gov hadn't received their bribe (tax) on it yet
Ignorance is no excuse. They are destroying the bloody lungs of the world by ripping through the Amazon jungle. Do some research perhaps.
Because it is being brought into another country... Each country can control what is brought in.
Also gold is a high theft item and constantly stolen and melted down into other products.
You are right ,it's because the u.s hasn't gotten their cut yet..
@@josephdigiorgio you wore the mask and took the shots too didnt you?
Idk if you realize. But the Amazon jungle is being destroyed by illegal gold mines.
Funny how the “illegal” gold becomes totally safe once the govt tax on it is paid😂
Amen! And blood diamonds are on all the hands of women!
Instant eye roll within two minutes. Illegal just because they haven't taken their share. Ridiculous
@@jenivettebigham7060 I agree…everything is dangerous or illegal until govt finds a way to tax/control it lol

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE SERIES EVER, IM STUCK WATCHING IT ALL
Yup i love this series
Same as’f snorkel
Loving the narration! Spot-on voice, diction, and timing are key to this video’s success.
US Government like
"Is illegal that i don't get my cut of the cake"
*Takes illegal gold to profit"
🤣😂🤣
They actually give money back to the Colombians too. But yes they both do lol
That's exactly what it is. If they aren't getting a cut it's illegal.
There like it’s illegal we are gonna keep the gold for us
They claim global warming, but are burning everything. lol
They spent 5 mins explaining what made it illegal. I swear if your body didn't do the breathing for you. You'll be too stupid to breath on your own
I need that door that the police had trouble with 😩
For me the scary part is having a house next to a cartel house
Neighbor best friend 🕺🏽
You do now. 15 million new illegals in since dirty joe in office
frr imagine the opps mistake his house with yours 😬😬
call the police if suspicious
$1.5M to a cartel is like me dropping a quarter in the couch
Bad take 1.5 is a huge amount of money for that loss many people will die and many people will get hurt huge difference
Not really someone will likely get killed cause of it or his entire family bloodline if they wanna be like that
lol
Thanks for meaningful and valuable video as always..!
Thanks for uploading new episode of catch the smugglers I love this show ❤
that's quite a humungous HAUL. 2 bars of gold, 1 bracelet and 1 necklace. Heavy stuff!

@@B_M_A Probably not 24 kt. It's native gold so probably around 22kt.

I’ve never been hassled in the times I’ve done it.
What did they actually do wrong... gold can be anywhere... I've seen whole TV series about people mining gold in America!
