[@ericwong4213]

one of my business partners in charge of smuggling herbs and edible product with no license to China, it's due to China has quota, so legal way by obtaining permit would have to wait at least 5-10 years. Long story short, this person became rich as her smuggling our products through Vietnam, Hongkong and Myanmar always successful. One time, the products got caught, she was also arrested and sentenced to death penalty due to her years of smuggling, tons of cargos and the value exceeded her lifetime. But after her husband paid lots of money, her sentenced reduced to life sentence. In Australia, you complained about law not strong enough? If you got threaten by knife point from your neighbor or random homeless, the police will come and check if there's anyone dead. If not, they will leave again. No one die = no case. Even you raise in court, the judge will be like "has he killed you or any of your member? no? don't waste my time, get out!"

Seizing anything that isn't restricted is wasteful. Not eco-friendly. Seize what's not allowed and fine the traveler. Similarly, I think it's silly to seize excess tobacco. Just demand duty and fine. If they don't pay maybe then seize it. Yes, tobacco is harmful but I don't think the seizure will stop people from smoking. I guess test the contraband for drugs because sometimes people hide drugs in food.

Officer: Why all these cigarettes? Her: Heavy smoker...

[@OkieTeacher918]

Aw Rusty LOVES his job! Look at that tail wag!

[@simonez9197]

The cigarettes woman doesn't sound Singaporean at all, worse still a teacher? Maybe, she's a SG PR originally from China. If so the PR status should be revoked. It's doubtful that she's even a teacher. Singaporean teachers are held in high esteem.

[@AuntieShineDaily]

Maybe new citizen? Lots of mainland Chinese are now of other nationalities. In the Philippines, lots of fake Filipinos mostly from China.

[@SimplyK888]

She holds a Singapore passport, so she is a naturalized citizen of Singapore from China. Singapore should revoke her citizenship cause I won't be surprised if she lied her way into getting her Singapore citizenship.

[@flowzero]

PR can't have a Singapore passport.

[@SimplyK888]

@@flowzero That's right. She's a naturalized citizen from China.

[@ngjo3y]

Yeah she doesn't really sound singaporean, agree. maybe an occasional inflection.

[@samuelschick8813]

Well considering the cheapest 25 count pack of cigarettes costs $52 AUD because of taxes, no wonder people try to smuggle them in.

[@walterfredrickson3887]

This always happens when you over tax, or try to outlaw something. Cigs are not good for you obviously. But they have to waste so much time. How many hard drugs get through because of this?

[@kitrivers979]

In order for Australians to have free healthcare, the tax has to come from somewhere and smokers do contribute to the medicare bill.

[@samuelschick8813]

@kitrivers979 , Then it's not free is it?

[@Rune__]

I feel bad when i forget to take out my water bottle from my bag before going through security. And this lady just casually smuggles 40.000 cigarettes 🤯

[@jennie50jmj]

People who try to smuggle in food or other illegal items should be given a large fine and banned from entering the country for at least 2 years.

[@chrismaynard4117]

2years,should be 20 years or life,we dont need crims like that here!

[@tmalfieri1]

Obviously there are no grocery stores anywhere in Australia, so people are forced to bring their own food when they go there. 🙄🙄🙄🤣🤣🤣

It's not uncommon to forget to declare two suitcases packed with cigarettes. Agents also found it suspicious that she's married but doesn't wear a ring. As the great Judy says, " Liar Liar Pants on Fire."

She was wearing a ring though

I am worried when I have forgotten a bigger package or shampoo, and this lady is trying to bring food for 3 months in

Rusty singled out the package his handler tapped. Good boy. 😄

[@ryokolynn6948]

Well done , great work from the Australia Custom !!!

[@carolparker7714]

Great job, but 360$ fine is a joke

[@grantc61]

I laughed when I heard the "punishment". And the govt has the gall to charge a departure tax for citizens.

[@beadnut]

3:41 Rusty singles out the grey package? Dude singled it out for him. 😂

[@drifter_jake]

Just like the drug dogs in the U.S. when they walk around you're car.

[@marilyncote-miller8010]

The fines are far too light.

[@Krenisphia]

Meanwhile I travel internationally with only a backpack. Got rid of my suitcase years ago. Much faster. No need to collect anything. Don't run the risk of losing luggage. Some people aren't willing to travel light, but I love it.

[@StephanAhonen]

How long are these trips? I'm good at traveling light but I don't think I could make a backpack work for a trip much longer than a week... I can do up to two weeks out of a carry-on suitcase plus a backpack, but just a backpack would be a challenge.

[@Krenisphia]

@@StephanAhonen Usually about 2-3 weeks. It's easier if you're travelling somewhere that is currently in summer or has a generally warmer climate. Might be tough to do for winters.

[@StephanAhonen]

@@Krenisphia You're doing laundry right? Because otherwise I have no idea how one could fit 21 changes of clothes into a backpack.

Lady only got 360 dollar fine for bringing dangerous food in her luggage . no deterrent there

Woman’s luggage appears to have no clothes-- just massive amounts of food. Should have gotten massive amounts of jail time

[@pinkys_pinkies]

The working dogs always make my day

[@molliem8192]

The fines for bringing agricultural, meat products into the country are nowhere near high enough. I think if you started finds that between one and $3000 it might stop or at least curb the passengers illegal food in.

[@WhatIThoughtChannel]

0:03 That is the strangest way I have ever heard ‘Singaporean’ be pronounced. The emphasis is usually on the ‘por’, not the ‘ean’.

[@Joe__Smith]

Maybe the narrator was thinking of 'Korean'.

@@omnipresent1215 You, enough, clearly. If you didn’t, you’d have just ignored the comment.

[@rollingdownfalling]

Tbh, it’s not really her accent, it’s her proficiency in English is a bit too low for a native Singapore. She can’t really string up a sentence properly.

[@Sammalam6538]

The dog stepping all over the packages was stressing me out. What if something breaks? 😂

[@davidwild66]

It amazes me that the fines are so low....why wouldn't someone try and smuggle stuff in if the fine is only $360? The fines should start a $100000 and go up from there.

[@edwardwood6532]

Older asian female with a large suitcase and nothing to declare. What will they find?

That lady with the food should have been arrested. It's not a mistake - that was a major concealment, a ton of food. And then she decides to book it out of the airport? Nah. Need way tougher laws, Australia.
