[@AYoutubechannel1448]

Love the 4legged border guards! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂

Get a life. Put signs everywhere

[@KiwiNanaJ]

been there done that - flew over from US - actually had an apple I got at US airport food court - stuck it in my bag, forgot all about the apple and walked off the plane making my way to bags and customs in NZ - they had signs all over the place, and bins to toss anything into before going to customs.. that's when I remembered the apple and tossed it before entering customs. thank God! would've hated to end up with a fine like that!

[@StatusQuoDefier]

I would be livid if I unknowingly brought something so simple as an apple into a country that didn’t allow it and then got fined $400 for it.

In Australia, you can't bring fruit or vegetables and honey if you are going to Perth. Even from within other parts of Australia. We flew to Perth from Adelaide and they confiscated our honey we purchased in Adelaide. Luckily, we weren't fined. As tourist, we had no idea it was a problem. We know now.

[@StatusQuoDefier]

@@lucylu530 why is Perth so guarded over that?

[@YummyBananers]

I’m sorry, but if this happened to me I’m not paying that. I will literally take that to court because that is so stupid.

[@cinemapigeon4898]

New Zealand has an isolated and unique ecosystem. Because of that, they are super protective over foreign flora & fauna, as it could have major environmental consequences. To be safe, just don't bring any food.

[@lordbyron3603]

These are the nicest police officers I’ve ever seen! Mate !

[@EthanAndMadison]

That was the most civilized arrest I've ever seen (apart from other countries on yt). If he was in America, he would have needed a trip to the emergency room before jail.

[@myseville1976]

American law enforcement are not, never have and never will never be properly trained to deal with the public!

[@SnoopySubo]

@@myseville1976 not all of American law are bad and you see one case here online and think that is how all of them actually deal with the public?

[@deannahicks6755]

I've seen plenty of people arrested in person and the only time they needed medical assistance is if they were fighting the cops. People who did what they were told weren't handled rough or talked down to. It's all about how the person being arrested is behaving.

[@seansalter1679]

I've been pulled over traveling in the State's a few times. Pull over comply to their demands tell the truth and be respectful . Never had an issue. Cop's in the State's have a very dangerous job everyon has there has easy access to firearms. Don't escalate or you may find yourself in a lethal situation. Situational awareness is important everywhere you find yourself.

[@myseville1976]

The dog wanted to eat! It had nothing to do with catching someone.

[@SnoopySubo]

my my my hahahahaha

[@julicooke4266]

fruit fly caused onde month of aerial spraying over our suburb

[@catdavis9328]

If unsure can you mark yes on the card even if you already ate it?

[@DonelleWeaver]

The dog Zulu is a very smart dog. Yes and these police officers are respectful to the people they arrest. Why can’t they be that way in America instead of being power grabbers and hurting people.

[@beccalieurance3216]

for an apple?

[@ianblake815]

New Zealand must be secure!

[@alvaroq2024]

I didn’t know that besides drugs, police dogs can sniff out fruits!

[@dorcasmalahlela2805]

Food, money, drugs. And explosives! (Gunpowder and guns? I'm not sure)

[@maxineb9598]

I've had a biosecurity dog pick out my backpack on arrival home to Auckland. No fruit but had previously had an apple in the bag. The dog picked up the remaining scent. Those dogs are very highly trained and not all who go for training make the cut.

[@maxineb9598]

@@dorcasmalahlela2805 The dogs currently at Auckland are specifically trained for biosecurity but in the near future, other dogs will be there to sniff out money, drugs, etc.

[@Grandmaster__Gee]

Airport is smuggling this youtube channel Caught! In Action is too.

[@mikebarton]

If the fruit is detected *BEFORE* it crosses the border then surely the border protocols are doing their job? So...why the fine? Discuss.

[@rodmcintosh3149]

If she had read the customs declaration card and listened to the crew announcements before arrival, she could have eaten the apple or left it on board the plane. Who is sorry now…….?

[@myseville1976]

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@livan_1306]

​@@myseville1976fucked up, right?

[@DAVIDMILLER-nc9vo]

If she had declared the apple, she would not have been fined. But…!

[@Gakuya-ht9oq]

Imagine she is my girlfriend. Am so sorry my dear. I received that information from my mother-in-law. We still love ❤️ you despite what you went through @ the airport. Congratulations to our security team for making our country safe.

[@kevinfuller2310]

Unreal they don’t have a no harm no foul policy. This would not fly in America

[@Whatsthegeek]

The US has the same law and the fine is $500. It's unfortunately a common scam by airport security as they get to keep the money from the fines.

[@jecj2024]

These places ALWAYS want money

[@stuartb3609]

The only way to get the message across unfortunately.

[@jacobblack1528]

​@@KoalaPlus If a crime is punished by a fine, then it is only a law for poor and middle-class people. There are many rich, carefree human beings out there, especially those who have gotten rich due to their heritage and not hard work. 400 NZ$ is nothing for them. Also, some airlines give fruit to their passengers; you can see it in one of their (Caught in Action) videos. So when they arrive in New Zealand, they instantly get fined, not for their own mistakes.

[@beccalieurance3216]

⁠​⁠fruit flies also breed on mops/ cleaning rags and any type of trash holding containers, the only necessary component is any type of moist or fermenting material which is found in places far beyond fruits. While Auckland may be strict and outlandish, a passenger bringing a piece of fruit is not indicative or a testimony to any behavior in pursuit of what would be called “careless” by you. Do you still blame passengers when airlines provide this “contraband”? If you think it’s reasonable to charge people a $400 fine for a fruit, a fruit that more than likely could have been provide by an airline company, I just pray for you. You deserve love 🫶 Ephesians 6:10-18 Stay strong bro

Then follow rules , it's simple. There's a reason why Biosecurity exists and is to protect flora and fauna from foreing pests and diseases.
