I don't understand why they don't fine the cigarette smugglers. He even admitted he was going to sell them.

[@allisonjames2923]

I agree. They should be fined, although I suppose losing the money it cost them to buy the cigarettes counts as a type of fine sort of. He must have known he was just under the arrest limit though as he was very chill.

[@UrHusbandsBih]

Forfeiture of the items and their value IS a fine.

[@Umbzard]

The only reason it's illegal to bring a large amount of cigs to sell is that the government don't get their cut, no other reason to it. It's all to do with the system getting it's share.

I don't know about everyone else, but personally I change my clothes at least every day.

Can actually agree with you there showers fitted in some airports and I watch aviation KZbinrs and they attend to take a shower or change clothes if it’s a long haul especially when u asleep or started sweating etc I just don’t know how old is the video in question because for me someone changing clothes after a long haul flight it’s not that suspicious and for me got lucky with the drug bust

[@moonbased7796]

I actually did this once, usually most plane trips I usually have are 1-2 hour plane rides (this doesn't count the waiting before and after the plane rides) but about a year ago I visited some family in Portugal so it was like an longer plane ride (context I'm from the states) so before the plane landed I changed into another pair of clothing

At $180 a carton in Vancouver Canada they would have made a lot more profit than 2000£ I am surprised they weren't arrested with that load. I wonder how far off they were.

A bit of a cheek to suggest it's 'unusal' to change clothes after travelling. Maybe that was only his justification to search someone who is travelling on a US passport through Antigua (as seen when the passport is put down next to her computer). She may have travelled the golden drug triangle to UK from US via Antigua, having collected the drugs in Antigua?

[@carrieanncancino5118]

Just because she is a elderly lady she deserves the longest prison sentence to punish her. If the courts give her leniency she will be getting away with drugs smuggling and possibly do it again. I think to win the war on crime and drug the District attorney and judges need to stop dropping charges and lowering charges and hold the criminal to the fullest law.

[@EthanAndMadison]

@@MarySmith-bc7mf this is big business for the government. One would be absolutely crazy to think that they really destroy all of that tobacco and cigarettes that they seize. It goes right back on the shelf for resell. That's why the travelers never get in any real trouble or even a fine.
