Suspicious for being CALM? So it's essentially a lose lose, if you're nervous you're suspicious, if you're calm you're suspicious. How can they be allowed to accuse people of being suspicious based on the way someone acts when they don't know how the person acts baseline? Humans, not robots.
Unfortunately we live in a country with extremely unpatriotic people who allow their 4th amendment rights to be completely violated with police dogs, which should be 100% illegal as it is. Also, according to the law, police are NOT allowed to use police dogs without probable cause AND that police dog signals are NOT probable cause. Unfortunately though, these cops do whatever they want, break the law, and get away with it every single time. It’s because we live in a country where people are so unpatriotic that they not only allow their rights to be violated but actually worship and praise the police for doing so. It’s disgusting that some peoples first experience of the so called “free country” is basically an authoritarian, violent, police state. Unbelievable.
@@rfonline568267 It is though. a 5k fine for something you can buy legally over the counter in most of the united states for around $100 is absolutely diabolical. It's extortion.
And I will tell you if you're watching this, I have great sympathy for the lady from Trinidad. She seems to be going through this lots of time. It's very humiliating but she keeps calm. There are lots of good people out there who can only afford traveling in her style and means but with good intentions. Unfortunately many never make it through the immigration gates even when they already have visas. It's okay to keep the boarders functioning but unfortunately the process and system is very inhumane to so many coming from some jurisdictions of this one planet where we all have a right to live!! Sorry my sister, just keep a positive mind!!!
Have you considered that the Trinad lady, only purchased all those clothes (from one retailer, with one long receipt (laughable) because she knew upon her return she would be subjected to examination, so she gave them exactly what they wanted? It's what anyone would have done...duh
@@Gmanjp333 Have you considered that she actually knew which store she was going to buy from and did what she came to do? The idea that one has to shop from multiple retailers is not a fact.

The fact that we get free documentaries on RUclips by National Geographic is truly a gift. 👍👍👍 May I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔 In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people. Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 😔
@@dovannagonzales5444 that's like saying every person is a smuggler and they're all bringing big giant bags of cocaine into the US. The fact is probably the opposite, none of them are smugglers and there's no issue with what the security did
some of these officers just treat people like criminals before they have even made contact... there SHOULD be a federal decriminalization of less than 1 OZ of cannabis products
Yeah it’s kind of stupid that you can live in a state where it’s legal. Move a mile over the border and now you can get charged and get a criminal record for it
The entire "War on Drugs" only fit there because the drug police budgets, equipment, and training combined are such a profitable industry. It is a great business model. It assures there will ALWAYS be the need for more of this police because they are giving the criminals a gold mine on which they all have more and more assets, more contacts and methods, and by extending more clients.
I think most of them have been pretty cordial. I'm not sure what else you want out of them, to hand out candies? I mean during regular application for visa I have been treated like 10x rougher, lol, and that was kinda understandable too.
@@blackedout7563 and it's different kind of stupid to know that and still carry MJ. Like how hard is it to just buy it in legal state? You are trying to save 70$?
On the street less of a problem, moving it through an airport is probably much more of a problem. Hardly a smuggleable amount, but they could also be using it to test the security....
And what did Russia do to Brittney Griner after she, naively, brought CBD (or similar) into that country? She was lucky to be released after serving only a few months of a 9-year sentence. Don't do drugs, and, certainly, don't travel with them, ANYwhere!!!

The Trinidadian lady came to help the economy and she treated her like a criminal. The woman officer has too much attitude. She needs to worry about her Columbian people.
@@mike47734 Mike, CBP is not the police. It's border control. If you arrive into the country from abroad all those laws are out of the window. If you enter into USA (or Canada, or most countries I know about) by car, they can legally strip you, strip your car, walk a dog OVER YOUR BED (when you're a trucker), and so on. So no.... it's not 100 % illegal and it's not cops breaking the law.
As a veteran these people are the worst. I was harassed and interrogated at LAX for something I didnt do for 2 hours. Made me miss my flight. They throw all of your clothes and stuff out of your suitcase all over the room and make you put it back even if they dont find anything. They are thugs in uniform.
@@nnadipromise546that's kind of wrong just because he's black what about me and my wife that got treated the same way we are not black but we was treated like common criminals too. This black thing has gotten way out of control it is not always a black thing hoss

Oh wait he is a criminal cause he had coke in his shoes WHAT WAS I THINKING
Ive loved these shows for years. Flying internationally in/out of JFK hits different now😂 Im always trying to see if I recognize any of the officers from the show
They can't assume someone is just innocent and let them go. It's their job to do a full investigation if they find something suspicious or wierd. That's how they catch smugglers, how are you so naive?
Innocent people are more likely to be frustrated and visibly upset when accused of a crime. When these officers conduct their investigations, they do not accuse anyone as everyone is innocent until proven guilty of a crime. It says that at the start of the show.
Even if the woman from Trinidad came back with no merchandise theres nothing they csn do. They can't force her to buy stuff. Maybe she couldn't find the right items, a whole bunch of reasons. If she had pellets, they aren't in her now. I love how they act like they could do something about it 😂.
I found the Facebook page for her store in like 2 minutes the officers should have at least tried to verify her business before grilling her and examining all her stuff
They would be able to start building a case on her. It would be very minimal but it would basically help them determine if they should stop her next time they see her and try again to find something or just ignore her.
All fun and games until they bring you into the interview room and it’s just Chris Hansen armed with text messages and video footage of your drug transactions
The thing that makes this all possible- that TSA will cavity search you but you can walk off with anyone's suitcase- has not changed at all even though they know this is going on.
@@callmekirkland8 what you’re saying makes no sense because he didn’t go to jail. He got a fine. They’ve literally shown on this show where they pull people in the line to the side and search their bags before they get on their flight.
She was suspicious… going into the US for 1 day to shop?? People have used that excuse to come into the country and stay and also smuggle drugs. No, she wasn’t doing that, but the officers were doing their job in making sure that she wasn’t going into the country to commit any crimes.
Yeah the woman from Trinidad was harassed. That was disgusting that they had 5 people waiting for her. These agencies are overstaffed with not enough crime to investigate. They need to be laid off. And the little woman officer thought she was so smart. These people are losers bothering people and should be out chasing real criminals.
@@Originalman144if they knew who the real criminals were just from looking at them then they’d catch them all. Thought that’d be pretty obvious, but I guess this is the RUclips peanut gallery.
Neither, as no injustice or transgressions were committed. There are implied consent laws that exist in most countries that, after international travel, allow full search of any items/persons by customs & immigration officers on site. The official documents all passengers are required to sign during the purchase of said airfare, as well as at arrival, negates the expectation of privacy, the necessity of a warrant, and increases profiling those traveling amongst certain countries where specific contraband materials exist in elevated supply. It's not pleasant or politically correct, but does occur consistently across the globe as somewhat of a necessary evil.
It's going to try doing something stupid at the airport. Bad idea. Especially after 9/11. There is cameras everywhere you're going to get caught. However, these guys were well organized. Probably had years of experience at the airport so they get to know the layouts and the security systems so they were probably able to bring in thousands of kilos
I find it concerning to see the disappointment on the female officers face when the woman from Trinidad turned out not to be a criminal. She should be happy about people being honest. But I guess it comes with the job, you develop a sense of "hunting" and if it is not rewarded with a catch, you get disappointed. Dangerous mindset.
still blows my mind that the government considers marijuana a higher class drug than fentanyl, vic, oxy, cocaine, valium, xanax, ketamine, the list goes on😂😂😂😂😂
Pupo is assuming people guilty until proven innocent. Wasting resources on her "hunch" someone might be doing something bad. Her attitude is unprofessional too. Its a tale tell sign of someone who is power hungry
That girl asking for passports is always trying a little to hard for the camera. Don’t like her!! She’s all about the camera, while the others are about finding the drugs!!
They keep calling Laguardia JFK.... What kind of journalism is this? They are literally lying about what airport they are at. The closest level 1 trauma center to Laguardia is Jamaica or New York Presbyterian Queens. This whole video is filled with lies. You should be ashamed Nat Geo.
When that woman cop found out that Dark skinned lady was legitimate and had to let her go, cops ego must have fallen hard, she could not make a collar, what a shame. 😡😡😡
It’s crazy cause they use their own judgement of people and pull them aside and do what they want what they feel and past judgement on them and right or wrong they still get to invade your personal rights because they feel like it
@@cpmow831Her story is in NO way suspicious if you know ANYTHING about Caribbean people. A lot of us go to the US on overnight shopping trips. Since I was a kid, family members would go with no luggage, and buy a suitcase and all their clothes for the trip once they arrived. If the agents are going to be working Border Patrol at an airport that frequently sees Caribbean travelers, the least they could do is learn what is and isn’t suspicious travel behavior for that demographic.
The cross fire situation you guys got yourself in intercepting that car is pretty ridiculous.. need to teach those guys some patience before they end up hurt or dead

Why would she? She was suspicious, it was fair. You do understand that most of the time whoever you search is not going to turn out to be a criminal? That doesn't mean you should automatically stop doing that just because some are randoms.
There are implied consent laws in most countries that, after international travel, allow full search of any and all items/persons by customs & immigration officers on site. The official documents all passengers are required to sign during the purchase of said airfare, as well as at arrival, negates the expectation of privacy and the necessity of a warrant to proceed. It is a necessary evil in an effort to protect citizens and streamline the process as much as possible. Imagine waiting on warrants during what is already a tedious & chaotic activity...
Like you said charges are often reduced or dropped. That's because there are others involved in the network..who are beyond your reach. They handle the "prosecution side" of this network. It's definitely a big web.
The good news. The arrests change nothing. Consumption is at an all time high. Quality is growing better and better. A true solution would be to legalize it all. Then we would not have to face such inhuman treatment.
That's good news? People losing lives to coke? Really? You people are delusional and imagine the only drug use is some student doing some MJ and don't see row of addicts with ruined lives, cartels and corrupt people making profit, some responsible for numerous murders.

Even if the woman from Trinidad came back with no merchandise theres nothing they csn do. They can't force her to buy stuff. Maybe she couldn't find the right items, a whole bunch of reasons. If she had pellets, they aren't in her now. I love how they act like they could do something about it 😂.
I found the Facebook page for her store in like 2 minutes the officers should have at least tried to verify her business before grilling her and examining all her stuff
@@FredLootLlama123 The lady officer is a disgrace. She was on a power trip. Completely unacceptable behavior.
They would be able to start building a case on her. It would be very minimal but it would basically help them determine if they should stop her next time they see her and try again to find something or just ignore her.
Thank you National Geographic for showing this "To catch a smuggler" Series, I love it 👍
All fun and games until they bring you into the interview room and it’s just Chris Hansen armed with text messages and video footage of your drug transactions
$5000 fine in this economy is criminal. Thats a disgusting amount of money for some personal use weed thats legal in most states. Wow
Doesn't make sense I'm sure of he fight it he will win 😊
for real, and that was defs not 12 grams, they weighed the bag with it i guarantee its just a quarter (7 grams)
that looked like just one 8th bruh
Only 23 states have legalized recreational marijuana so it's not "most."
They should have just disposed of those 12 Grams abd just warn the guy $5000 is disproportionate to the amount , its highway robbery .
They really waited at her departure gate for her to leave 😂 Pupo a CLOWN
I can't stand her!!
Her name should be pupu 😂
Same, and that dude hyping her up was even more annoying lmao
So nobody notices a camera crew following the undercover agent 😂😂😂
They had body cams
Legit. 36:57 The way they're walking. I would smell them a mile off
Camera crew must wear camo, apparently you become invisible in camo clothing
@@firelight1577 body cam
i love when they PROFILE the wrong people
Same the disappointment on their face is really funny
Me too😂
The thing that makes this all possible- that TSA will cavity search you but you can walk off with anyone's suitcase- has not changed at all even though they know this is going on.
Having worked as an embalmer and in health care, it always amazes me to see people wearing rubber gloves scratch their face.
Can you elaborate on this?
@@pepelepewpew1197 wearing gloves to protect themselves against things, then touching their faces with contaminated gloves.
Cross contamination, that’s why Covid skyrocketed
$5000 fine for a little bit of pot is completely ridiculous
yep SCAM by govt.
I love it, should’ve been more of a fine
@@callmekirkland8 how do you import something from the same country that you’re in
@@arthurtatslet’s put someone possibly in a financial crisis where if you went a state over they wouldn’t care. Does that make sense to you?
@@callmekirkland8 what you’re saying makes no sense because he didn’t go to jail. He got a fine. They’ve literally shown on this show where they pull people in the line to the side and search their bags before they get on their flight.
THEY JUST HARRASED THAT WOMAN FOR NOTHING. Its fustrating to watch how her rights were violated.
not for nothing. they did it for the tv show! ;)
I can tell ur ignorant....
She was suspicious… going into the US for 1 day to shop?? People have used that excuse to come into the country and stay and also smuggle drugs. No, she wasn’t doing that, but the officers were doing their job in making sure that she wasn’t going into the country to commit any crimes.
Yeah the woman from Trinidad was harassed. That was disgusting that they had 5 people waiting for her. These agencies are overstaffed with not enough crime to investigate. They need to be laid off. And the little woman officer thought she was so smart. These people are losers bothering people and should be out chasing real criminals.
@@Originalman144if they knew who the real criminals were just from looking at them then they’d catch them all. Thought that’d be pretty obvious, but I guess this is the RUclips peanut gallery.
So my question for Pupo, after all that drilling of the passenger, who pays for all her pain and suffering? Should we be suing you or CBP?
Neither, as no injustice or transgressions were committed. There are implied consent laws that exist in most countries that, after international travel, allow full search of any items/persons by customs & immigration officers on site. The official documents all passengers are required to sign during the purchase of said airfare, as well as at arrival, negates the expectation of privacy, the necessity of a warrant, and increases profiling those traveling amongst certain countries where specific contraband materials exist in elevated supply. It's not pleasant or politically correct, but does occur consistently across the globe as somewhat of a necessary evil.
Big brother is always watching but I wonder how much this guy got in before getting caught
Alot hahaha 😅
It's going to try doing something stupid at the airport. Bad idea. Especially after 9/11. There is cameras everywhere you're going to get caught. However, these guys were well organized. Probably had years of experience at the airport so they get to know the layouts and the security systems so they were probably able to bring in thousands of kilos
None, this is straight play acting
😊😊😊😊
Q
That poor big fella got done with a tiny amount and held his composure well
If you're dumb enough to show up at an airport with cannibus you deserve the $5,000.00 fine.
i feel so bad for him 5k is crazy
My favorite segment on National Geographic’s channel.
I go to london Heathrow every year,as a aviation kid making videos, its so beautiful
I find it concerning to see the disappointment on the female officers face when the woman from Trinidad turned out not to be a criminal. She should be happy about people being honest. But I guess it comes with the job, you develop a sense of "hunting" and if it is not rewarded with a catch, you get disappointed. Dangerous mindset.
I totally agree with you. That type of over zealous behaviour could be dangerous. Makes me wonder what happens when the cameras aren't around 🤔
still blows my mind that the government considers marijuana a higher class drug than fentanyl, vic, oxy, cocaine, valium, xanax, ketamine, the list goes on😂😂😂😂😂
That's a total lie
?
They don’t
@@BulkernatorKerbNo it's not... weed is schedule I, all the rest of those are Schedule II. Who's the liar now?
They tried so hard to catch the lady up on something if it was me i would've gave them the attention they were looking for
LOL, she was a plant and distraction the real mule got away as they focused all the energy on her
@@lot6129 my thoughts exactly
They racist too
They targeted her and missed badly! Even the sniper couldn’t get her! 😅😅😅
“Given them the attention they were looking for” why tho? That’s what gets a lot of people hurt.
i'd love to see an analysis of the costs of these operations - the entire legal side compared to what the value of the drugs that get stopped.
More than likely a wash.
@RyanSymons Those lives chose drugs so no big deal.
Corporations doing illegal dumping and poisoning the environment would be money better spent.
@RyanSymons sooo.. medications that stop people from having a stroke or keep there heart beating is bad got it noted 😂
It's not about value of drugs itself, it's about damage of them to communities.
That lady cop and mister glasses should be partners so they could both get lawsuits against them and be fired 🙌
Pupo is assuming people guilty until proven innocent. Wasting resources on her "hunch" someone might be doing something bad. Her attitude is unprofessional too. Its a tale tell sign of someone who is power hungry
Feel sorry for her boyfriend, if she still has one.
@@John-redcyou know she doesn't 😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for wasting 7min of my time, as soon as the girl said the smugglers are getting smarter i realised i saw this recently also on NG
Me too bruh, it's a repeat
That girl asking for passports is always trying a little to hard for the camera. Don’t like her!! She’s all about the camera, while the others are about finding the drugs!!
They keep calling Laguardia JFK.... What kind of journalism is this? They are literally lying about what airport they are at. The closest level 1 trauma center to Laguardia is Jamaica or New York Presbyterian Queens. This whole video is filled with lies. You should be ashamed Nat Geo.

seriously, they should use the money to go to the baby mama's house to get them all fixed, better then putting these dogs in the pound
nothing wrong with having a dream and following it
When that woman cop found out that Dark skinned lady was legitimate and had to let her go, cops ego must have fallen hard, she could not make a collar, what a shame. 😡😡😡
Look on woman's face when they took his shoes😂😂"I TOLD YOU !!"
That was OVERKILL !. Lady get yourself a Lawyer!!!
Everybody looks suspicious to them no one is safe🤣
If you're calm you're suspicious if you're nervous you're suspicious.
'Suspicious Honda Accord'😂 High level, for sure😅
Traffickers don’t show up in a Bugatti lol
Well it's definitely not going to be a expensive car why would they drive an expensive car picking up all those drugs
Thank you for uploading this❤ I love watching this ❤
It’s crazy cause they use their own judgement of people and pull them aside and do what they want what they feel and past judgement on them and right or wrong they still get to invade your personal rights because they feel like it
Different laws apply when you cross an international border. CBP has every right to search all of your property including electronic devices.
@philnleblanc6664 don't matter, we have rights too
Stereotypes exist for a reason but you know that already.
Is anyone else but me mad that they harassed that woman from Trinidad for no reason
Her story was suspicious
No
@@cpmow831Her story is in NO way suspicious if you know ANYTHING about Caribbean people. A lot of us go to the US on overnight shopping trips.
Since I was a kid, family members would go with no luggage, and buy a suitcase and all their clothes for the trip once they arrived.
If the agents are going to be working Border Patrol at an airport that frequently sees Caribbean travelers, the least they could do is learn what is and isn’t suspicious travel behavior for that demographic.
They are just doing their job, nothing was adding up, it was just suspicious.
@@ashleystumbaugh1385 exactly what wasn't adding up?
The last one was perfect and very good operation. But why the smuggler and drugs dealers not put in jails for at least 40 years?
“By the smell of it it’s cocain “lmao 😂😂
THANK YOU FOR JOB WELL DONE !! GOD BLESS EVERYONE !!
I 💕 love this show. Thank you for. This. Good. Job. And all the drama we get to watch thank you again stay safe
The cross fire situation you guys got yourself in intercepting that car is pretty ridiculous.. need to teach those guys some patience before they end up hurt or dead
Why not stop him getting in the car? Or is it just to proof you are badass coppers, for the documentary.
The dogs are so cute! I'm glad they are such a big help to the drug finders.

Interesting. Fascinating. Confusing. Thank you.
This is how our cities are safe to live. proud of you guysss...
You know how I feel, same way you would. Ong tho 5k for a little weed is insane
12 grams ain’t exactly what I would call a little but it’s definitely not enough for a 5k fine
Too much 200 USD fine okay we good.
@@__.__.__.__._ I go through more than that in a week its definitely little
Boy, I bet that woman (cop) feels foolish. That woman (shopper) does things a little different, so what, im glad she was legit.
She doesn't feel foolish trust me. There's a prior episode of her doing this to someone else
Why would she? She was suspicious, it was fair.
You do understand that most of the time whoever you search is not going to turn out to be a criminal? That doesn't mean you should automatically stop doing that just because some are randoms.
22:00 So glad they took the prescription devil's lettuce off the street. Saved millions of lives.
Officers are so smart!!! 👍👍👋👋👋
NOW I can traffic. I just did eight years for it; I already have a new spot you guys kept missing. Thanks N.Geo!!
Do they have a private/executive airport edition? Because that would definitely be interesting.
Rich people dont get their nut sack searched hourly like regular people!
Make more of these loving this!
The fact they still tested the Marijuana lmao outta there.
Yea cuz Thts da only way it’s goin to hold up in court
😂😂
Thank You officers and departments that keep us all safe and protected. My Salute to each one of YOU!
A $5000 fine for 12 grams of weed is unbelievable
I wonder how many times any one of us have been at an airport where a sting operation may have been going down😮
Love the K9 dogs so beautiful they are❤️
Typical of cops to weigh contraband in the bags to not give the Accurate weight..HUGE DIFFERENCE if you weigh drugs out of the bags... NATURALLY☝🏿💯
Dogs are amazing..lovely animails..they deserve more respect.
Did They looked through her phone without a warrant?

So if the Trinidad lady had decided to remain in the city for few more days that chica officer would really target her ?
That officer needs to worry about her Columbia people
Dude just threw his wife under the bus 😂😂😂
I hope that she leaves his behind
I thought this was about a medical seizure that cost 6 million ☹️
Me too ☹️
😂😂😂😂😂I hear ya, in some horpitals 6 mill is about right.
Awesome ! You guys doing great 👍 👍, appreciate 👏👏👏🤞🤞
Like you said charges are often reduced or dropped. That's because there are others involved in the network..who are beyond your reach. They handle the "prosecution side" of this network. It's definitely a big web.
Meanwhile. 96 per cent of shipping containers are never xrayed when they enter the US. So, are airport passengers the biggest problem?
Anyone else really wanna pet the dogs, theyre adorable. I want to pet the forbidden pooch
Drug dealers would run out of business if Americans quit drugs... You guys are the biggest and best market for drugs
Nah the baggage handler ratted them out rentals wouldn’t help
We're also the 3rd largest population so there's that.
Thank you guys,good job.
12 grams..=$5000..ridiculous
thats some top shelf weed 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
There was agents at LAX who got caught doing the same method . Exchanging inside the restroom
5000 fine for couple joints come on .
Or get caught in a foreign country and get put in those jails. We’re there’s rats no food and it f stinks where you sleep ;)
Ridiculous
A baggage handler in Toronto imported tons of pot for many years. He owned an apartment building . He went to prison for a long time
Great job , you got him w 12 grams!
😂 Right
33:58 by the odor I say it’s cocaine 😂😂😂
The good news. The arrests change nothing. Consumption is at an all time high. Quality is growing better and better. A true solution would be to legalize it all. Then we would not have to face such inhuman treatment.
That's good news? People losing lives to coke? Really?
You people are delusional and imagine the only drug use is some student doing some MJ and don't see row of addicts with ruined lives, cartels and corrupt people making profit, some responsible for numerous murders.
Thank you very much...
