The look on that woman's face when the dog smelt her luggage was priceless.
They keep on letting these people get away with it. That mother and son knew what they were doing.
The mother is a pro. Expressionless thru out.
Ok
They were fined and every time they go through Customs again, they will automatically be inspected. So, I don't know how that is "getting away with it."
Yes. And australia actually makes money with this cuz they think its small fine and will try again to smuggle
Those people illegally bringing suitcases full of food should be fined and sent straight home.
But Why
and told not to come back until they can understand the laws
@@HarmonRAB-hp4nk So you understand all of the law of the many countries you visit? I regularly travel between the US and South America. There's no customs forms on either end.
There are a lot of declarations in many countries. One get the cards in understandable languages so there are no excuses! @@jeanaprewitt9658
@@honor9lite1337Because you threaten the bio security in that country.
What is the point of these tiny fines. No one will ever stop bringing in whatever they want when the risk is so low.
Harsh on crime isn’t the deterrent you think it is
This episode is from 2010. Fines are now in the thousands.
In Canada it is $700. But the lax Aussie authorities are too busy at lunch, talk fests and conventions to address this big problem.
@@animefan7424 That depends on your definition of harsh.
@@patwalker5133 There are no trials for fines issued by customs. Nobody would spend the money on a lawyer to challenge a fine, even if it were 10 times the fines seen on this show.
For the Vietnamese man, I hope he will not have a dispute and divorce his wife because of these packages of seaweed 😂
Just once I would enjoy watching an actual arrest and not just a $340 fine to someone trying to sneak in such gross and possibly virulent food items! Bravo Axel!!
The minimum is double that now and can go up to $3.5k for a bad concealment.
At least it’s a fine, in Canada the 1st time it’s a warning most of the time 😒
You can be the volunteer
It's their first time. Don't be so harsh.
@@JackIsNotInTheBox 20:16 I shall be harsh!
People will continue to smuggle food and plants until you raise your penalties to thousands per fines. Our governments are too lenient with smugglers!
To the authorities this is Fiscal Rocket Science ; beyond their comprehension.
You mean reliant on them for cash 🤷♀️
Prosecute, forget the warnings, they knew exactly
what they were carrying and
hiding in their luggage.
very true.
Food smuggling is a risk taking behavior. If the penalty is only a few hundred dollars, many travelers will continue to try their luck. The bird’s nest and cordyceps in the video would worth a few thousand AUD easily in the market, if they are of good grade. The male officer asked the young man, “why didn’t u declare the food…”? A waste of his breath, I think.
That mother and son fully intended to sell those items. Prosecute.
It's so annoying! These people all sign a document, in their own language, saying they have "NO FOOD" in their bags. Nine times out of ten, they have the weirdest food stuff and no one ever gets charged with "falsifying a legal document" or issued a huge fine. It would be a huge money maker for the airport and maybe people would stop bringing in weird stuff from China.
That would be a waste of taxpayers' money because they'd have to prove intent. Which they can't.
@@jeanaprewitt9658 Good point, but at least stiff fines and other punishments (jail time?) are in order. Pleading ignorance of the law is not accepted as a legal defense, especially when you have sworn and signed a government document printed in your native language.
I just love seeing a well-trained dog doing their job so well.
That one looked like a Beagle with the floppy ears!
deliberate concealments should mean a huge fine and sent back on first plane!
In Canada the minimum fine is $700.
Australia should make it atleast $5000 fine & $10000 for each concealments
I agree, these people will never care about protecting Australian wildlife and industry, but I think they will care about a big hole in their bank account
Can you imagine...these peoples luggage are right next to yours on the flight. The contamination, infestation, and the smell, ugghhh.
Y'all start charging per item, and they'll stop this crud
We need a show that depicts letting the package go to its intended destination, and the look on the face of the recipient.
Prosecute and deport, five years ban.
If you don't declare it you shouldn't be able to keep it. They declared they didn't have anything so take it.
I agree. Why even make them declare stuff if they let it pass anyway.
They do take them away. Unless it has manufacturers list of ingredients are on it. Do you have the audio on these videos? It tells you everytime.
I know this happened years ago, but they should have prosecuted the Mom and Son. They knew what they were doing
Don't be so mean and nasty, it's only food😊
If you have to fine them, don't try to hurt them
A $150 fine is more than enough
And although I have no taste for 'bird nest " I don't see how it's going to dò any harm to Australia when ONLY they are eating it ??
It's not going to come in contact with your birds or you
@@sherribatko8981 they have been there multiple times, from the looks on their faces they knew what they were doing, and had probably smuggled before. And we are talking about an Island. If any of that got loose it could be devastating
@@sherribatko8981you clearly have little understanding of how exotic diseases spread. That is not birdsnest for ‘personal consumption’; the amount is extensive. Just a small piece breaking off, or falling from a garbage bin, then blowing down the street is enough to begin a massive epidemic of bird flu; which is fatal not just to commercial poultry but to delicate (and critically endangered) wild birds that have no resistance to foreign disease strains. The collapse of a group of birds has significant knock on effects to whole ecosystems. Australian border biosecurity is critically important as many species here are significantly different to and have been protected from species from other parts of the world. We don’t want our native flora and fauna to crash.
@@sherribatko8981. These people knew they were bringing illegal stuff & even concealed it. You want mercy for them!!!! Either you are out of ur mind or one of tgem
i was looking for this comment. i agree they should be prosecuted. they consealed that stuff in a jacket, it was intentional, not an accident of just undeclaired stuff.
i hope that now in 2024, they fine people more money, especially with all the bio hazzards happening constantly.
Why do these people bring food anyway? If you cant do without your foods and seeds, then stay home and stop putting another country at risk.
I agree 💯 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💯💯💯💯💯💯
The mother knows exactly what she was doing!
In a role reversal 😂I can’t see my self smuggling any meat pies or Chiko rolls into any foreign lands 😂
Plot Twist: He was acting suspicious on purpose to throw customs off so the real drug smuggler can go through
Sadly, Border Force is hopeless. Ask yourself why our streets are awash with illicit drugs. Most of them couldn't catch a cold let alone a criminal.
“Do you have food” as they unzip the bag
“No”
Finished opening the bag with food on top
Why do they lie when they know in 3 seconds they are going to be caught
$300ish fines, he’ll no! 📢I would be like; “prosecuted, $1,000 fines, $5,000 fines, $Prosecuted, and all these food has to be disposed”
*_Most of these people try to import weird food I'd never want to eat anyway!_*
Facts! 🤢
Okra is weird, bananas are weird and we eat them without thought here. Don’t yuck someone else’s yum. Just make sure they DECLARE IT. lol
Bird's Nest = Spit from a bird! $3000 for dried bird spit? Yuck! 😮
@@germywTHE FOODS ARE CONTAMINATED. You cannot travel with contaminated food. Whether it’s considered a delicious delicacy or not!
My main problem is WHY oh WHY the officers open all those iffy packages of food. If NOT declared, destroy without opening!!!!! regardless if they are allowed or not.
The man with the seaweed, I am relieved for him; however, he should not have assumed that they were noodles. Why didn't he ask to confirm what the contents were?
Who really thinks the guy had no idea what was in the noodles? Idk I kept going back and forth, but then remembered the beginning...stayed up late watched all that and it's SEAWEED?! 😂😂😂
I kept going back and forth too.
I need to stop watching this show when i'm eating, people are so gross.
You should charge extra for lying😊
Why bring bug infested items into another country? Do they deliberately want to cause damage to agriculture? Fines of $300 won't deter these people. Maybe $3000 would.
The mother and son were obviously going to profit, therefore should be arrested
Too far for just bringing food that isnt allowed that not how it works
@@jellyfishes1 lying on federal forms and smuggling prohibited goods with intends to distribute sounds arrestable to me.
I would give a two year ban with a $5000 for smuggling high risk food or products
20:39 What is the point of these tiny fines. No one will ever stop bringing in whatever they want when the risk is so low. In this case they should be prosecute, because they hide this items deliberately to bring it in.
Oh purleeez peo0le keep telling you these programmes are at least 12 years old.
$340 fine. Not even the street value of that bird’s nest spit thing. What a non-deterrent. They might as well have gift wrapped it & given it back to them.
These are old films. I'm told that you can stick another 0 on the end of the fine or even more (June 2024)
Catch up with later accurate info.
Border Security doing a great job.. Well done.
Super funny! While the officer clapping to the detective dog, the woman want to faint 😂
Yeah, I personally wouldn’t eat anything made with bird spit 🤮
Let me get this straight. The Vietnamese guy is transporting a gift of food from one auntie to another. I can only assume it is some rare delicacy, yet the auntie gave none to the nephew, and he doesn't even know what it is. This seems very fishy.
Idk about you but there are tons of gullible people out there or "yes man" people especially if a family is asking the favor. Hope the guy learned his lesson though
Prosecute! The Chinese mother and son know darn well what they were doing.
I love the beagle search dogs so much! We had a beagle who passed away in 2021 at the age of 16, and in another life, he would have been a fantastic sniffer dog. He could literally sniff out a crumb under a bookshelf and would cry trying to get at it. Beagles are literal stomachs on legs, super trainable, super sniffing abilities and thankfully not very tall. If they were any taller, they'd just be a menace to society.
Arrest them!!!
Woman was initially happy and playful with the dog
Then the dog sniffed something and then she gave it an evil look ...
Ugh. Who in their right mind travel with fresh fish in their luggage? It doesn't take long for it to start rotting when dead. * puke *
Agreed
Seriously... when will these people learn? I'd have loved to do this job!
The mother and son should have been prosecuted. They knew what they were doing
The fines imposed for illegal importation of prohibited items are far too low and don't deter offender's from doing it again.
One puts items inside containers to use the space, not necessarily smuggle items into the country. For example, shoes, kettles, rice cookers, etc., are spaces that can be used, not everyone is a smuggler, folks. It is the efficient use of space.😊
Yeah lol, "why would they hide it in a kettle"? Man works at an airport but have never flown before.
I know the Vietnamese guy was innocent. Many times we just take people stuff, especially from family relatives without questions. We even forgot we had those items until we unpacked the suitcases or boxes. I’m glad that it turned out well for him even though I was nervous when those items were green in the x ray scan. It’s officials’ job to suspect every little hint of something abnormal. They’re doing great job in protecting their people and their country.
Yes, He looked worried wondering if they might have given Him something illegal to carry!
@@BETTERWORLDSGThe was genuinely worried
I was way too stressed by the situation of the seaweed guy. He looked like he really didn't know what it was and I was hoping his brother was not using him. He will think twice next time.
Next time the answer is “No I can’t help”
3:17 Detective dog Axle, what an awesome name!
3:31 she was smiling at Axle until he sat down 😂😂😂
“It’s a very expensive lesson for this mother and son….” ???? $340? ARE U KIDDING ME???? Expensive for them is $340,000 🙄….. wait no $3,400,000 is expensive
Sometimes your enemy is your family. What they put him through is unforgivable. (First guy). Just learn to say no. They'll be mad and bicker but it's you who's risking.
No wonder they keep bringing their food into Australia, just a fine $340! They should have been prosecuted!!! $340 is a joke!
First it was from an aunty, then brother and finally uncle.
I certainly hope those dogs don’t live in those cages all the time
He didn't need your lecture ma'am lol
Family told him it was food - if family makes me a mule, they would need security to hold me back, from them!!
PROSECUTE. They get away with fines and they do it again and again.
For every one they catch 100 get through.
The $340 fine is a sick JOKE. Pocket money for about 95% of the culprits, and an INCENTIVE to try and smuggle things into Australia. In Canada, it is $700. WAKE UP Aussie authorities.
Adults who lie about what they’re carrying are just despicable.
Those bird net worth more than thousand lol
Cordyceps are the fungi in The Last of Us

You realise that those episodes are from years ago and now the amount to pay is different?
We need to increase the fines by 300%.
This may sound naive or whatever. But what happens if customs drill into a valuable item and there is no consealement?
I always think about that and they seem to not show that particular case in these videos.
I've read a comment once where a mom imported a mayan sculpture worth 5k and they drilled a hole and found nothing. They let her go with the statue. No compensation plus the item now only costs $500.
My guess is that they're not accountable for it which is messed up
“A hard decision whether to fine or prosecute…”. Prosecute!! These people knew what they were doing, it wasn’t a matter of ignorance, and it wasn’t a small amount. This should definitely be treated as a criminal activity.
You actually read someone their right over salt and seaweed? 😂😂😂😂😂
We need to increase the fines
They always ask you in security whether you are carrying something for someone else.
If you are, even if they are family, always say yes.
People have a lot of nerve trying to sneak stuff into the country knowing very well, it is not permitted. The penalty is way too lenient for this. They should throw away all stuff that isn’t declared and raise the fines..
the Chinese should've been prosecuted... they knew what they were doing.
Good job Australia I support your border security they doing everything to protect your country
Bigger penalties and no "warnings" cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia 73yrs
Doggies are man's best friend for a reason 😊
You should see the stuff coming in though the DR airport.
Can't believe the Chinese mother and son only got a $340 fine (that won't teach them anything)- they knew what they were doing and it posed are real threat to AU agriculture, etc.
I love the way they pronounce food...feuood?
I knew it was seaweed from the X-ray machine.
$340.00? Ridiculous not nearly enough,number 1. And number 2, Mom & Son knew Exactly what they were doing!!
I don’t understand when the personnel states people are fidgety and that is suspect. On two occasions I have had my bags searched by customs agents. I had no reason to worry, nothing to feel guilty over but, I tell you, I was uptight & fidgety nonetheless.
Ban these people from visiting. Makes them think twice about risking bringing these items they know they are not supposed to.
Send them to jail……..
it should be thousands of dollars when they lie about prohibit items
I don't believe I've ever seen someone prosecuted. The fines aren't enough to stop anyone trying again.
Yes it is
That’s caterpillars fungus, it’s very expensive. Plus the swallow bird’s nest.
Australia has to find a way to put the fear of God into these travelers. 300 and some $ are not going to stop them.
What i can't figure out if these folks coming from China, Vietnam, Korea, Thailand don't know enough not to bring certain things or not to at least say yes. Unless they are drugs.
I always declare & never had any issues when visiting sydney. Quarantine officer once said people who fails to declare food drives them mad & the declaration cards are in PEOPLES OWN LANGUAGE
Why can't the fines be more then $700 , then people stop repeating
If it can’t answer back, they’ll eat it!
Who normal can eat bird’s saliva?!. Only them, snakes are delicacy so think before you accuse anybody!
EXACTLY DIRTY THINGS THEY F…… ARE
That bag of cordyceps alone would have cost thousands of dollars.
FIRST THIS GUY SAID IT WAS ONE OF HIS AUNTS GIVING NOODLES TO HIS WIFE, THE IT WAS A BROTHER, AND NOW HE SAYS IT WAS AN UNCLE - CLEARLY LYING.
If they commit a crime send him to jail and give him a fine. Then they won't think to do it again.
I'd love to see a chinese boarder security show where they let anything in and eat anything that moves
She’s asking a lot of personal questions 😁and he actually implicated his aunts😂…that’s cold blooded
The fine is low but now they are on red flag 🚩 list… they will get searched automatically everytime they fly in and out of the country
Asking a genuine question. Why are birds nests strictly prohibited? Don't the birds migrate themselves. This is the first time I heard of this as food though. Mother was looking at the service dog with vengeance 😂, they are delicacies too in China.
If I bring a kettle, I gonna put things inside so I can use the space for other items !
The guy with the noodles knows exactly what he has. First he said his aunty then his brother and now its his uncle who gave it to him.
I don’t understand people traveling with bags full of food products
“Edible birds nest” 🙄 do you think that can cause avian bird flu?! 🐦 🪹
They don't gaf
