Agitated Man Steals Back His Contraband From Customs Officers! 😰 S10 E5 | Border Security Australia 

Have you ever witnessed something like this?

The nervous Chinese man said on the phone when he was asked no phone call please, “I’ve been examined. They caught me.”

I've watched a lot of these. It seems to be they'd have figured out by now that with the number of Chinese travelers, it'd be convenient to have a Chinese language speaker on hand at all times.

getting caught with that much prohibited items as well as willfully concealing it and totally ignoring the officer then stealing back stuff should be ground for denial of entry into the country and deported asap

The level of disrespect they have for the hosting country, makes me sick.

im always so shocked how they just dont have the police on standby while they search their bags and just let people ignore their instructions and even take back thier contraband ITS CRAZY!

If someone hides seeds in alternative packaging in order to break the law, they should NOT be allowed to enter ANY country !! That would be the only way for people to learn !!

Failure to declare, and concealing items, especially high risk items should be an automatic visa cancellation. They should be held in detention till the next available flight back to country of origin. Print this on the declaration form and in the arrivals terminal.

Huh? He tried to smuggle stuff into Australia and all he get is a fine?! And he can continue to enter the country??? Wow!

When I travelled to Australia at the age of 20 for the very 1st time, a woman asked me, if I could take her luggage as she has an excess one.. A concerned Australian guy advised me not to.. I'm glad I listened! That was my very 1st time travelling internationally! Always look out for yourself! Even your own nationality will put you at risk for their own bad agendas!🥵

I do not understand why we do not remove people's visas after they try to import illegal stuff.

I am sure that if the tables were turned, and travelers were found to have broken laws in a Chinese airport, punishment would be immediate, and very severe.

I knew the student came back because he didn’t want his parents to know that he failed his course.

Just take the phone away from him. If you say jail, he’ll learn English rather quickly

The arrogance of these people is mind blowing.

That security agent who stopped Mr Nicotea-n, is totally inept. The man REPEATEDLY goes fishing around in his luggage, takes a phone call, reaches back in & all he has to do is ignore her passive pleading. She might be pleasant, she might be intelligent, well-informed & a joy to be around - but she seems to lack the deliberate nature you need when dealing with people like Mr Nicotea-n. The moment he picked up his phone & answered it is when she should have called for security - and not that wiry translator, but someone who isn't afraid to restrain someone. Of COURSE, he won't take you seriously, he's been picking away at his luggage while you search it & all he got was a "sir, please don't". If you're not going to prosecute the tobacco smuggler, why even waste the time? A $360 fine is a joke.

After the guy ignored her directive to put down the phone, I would have had an officer come stand next to him to restrict his movements. I also would have gotten an interpreter immediately. I don't understand why they don't have more immediate access to interpreters all the time. So many of these episodes seem to bear out the need.

A woman was fined $3000 because she forgot she had a sandwich in her bag yet dodgey seed guy gets $350 fine??? What a joke!!! What’s going on at the Australian border?!!

19:44 Why didn't they prosecute this clown? He knew what he was doing was against Australian immigration laws because he literally stole back confiscated cigarettes.

That man with the water bottle made me so MAD! So disrespectful and arrogant!

I am confused why the guy from China was not refused entry to Australia.

It is VERY concerning and definitely underrated, how dangerous foreign seeds and plants, not even to mention pests can be for a country...as involved as I am with agriculture, this makes me VERY angry 💢😡

I'm infuriated every time I watch the NZ and Aus versions of these border control shows. They're waaaaay too lenient with 98% of these deceptive selfish scumbags.

I find it very hard to sympathise with someone who has been in Australia for 3 years on a Student Visa, who can barely communicate in English. What type of IELTS did they pass!!!!! I think the denial for re-entry made sense.

So he was enrolled in an Australian study program for 3 years but needs a translator to communicate with border control? Which university in Australia has a business school taught in Korean?

There will never an end to these infractions of Australian laws. The fine is joke!!!!

4:25 “Sir no phone no phone no phone sir no phone” Keeps talking on phone. God just grab it from him already.

People must be laughing at our biosecurity laws. $340 is not deterrent. They will continue and get away with it.

That Chinese guy with the tobacco & seeds was so flustered, he didn't even take the little sticker off his glasses. 😂

Maybe Australian officers are nicer but here in Canada/US when officers inspect your luggage you don't go near/ or touch anything. I personally witnessed someone almost getting arrested for impeding the search, that lady very quickly backed off when told next time she reaches she'd be in cuffs and then stayed quiet the whole time. How many times did the first lady officer tell the chinese dude who stay away or don't touch? damn that's quite a bit of patience

*That sweat bead zoom-in at **0:52** deserves an Emmy!*

Glad the fines have been increased. Most everyone always seemed to have it and like no big deal. The seizures that bother me most are the trafficked wildlife 😭. Those are the abusers who should not be fined but walked to the gallows.

That guy had me falling out of my chair ..when he takes out his phone and starts chatting.

They let the seed guy enter after all of that? Crazy!

She can’t seem to get this Chinese man under control,I would think she would keep certain items out of reach from him. She’s not very strict with him like she should be.

The student visa racket is a scam. Universities and governments should be made accountable.

The patience of the border security people are legendary.

Officer Andrea in dealing with the Chinese male passenger was unable to control the situation and he even managed to steal back some cigarettes. She really needs to be more assertive and have more training.

The cigarette man should be fined! He clearly knows he can’t take in so much without paying duties, but he didn’t declare them and was trying to disguise them…

The weird thing with the Korean ‘student’, is that a certificate 4 in Australia does not take 4 years. A cert 4 is below any university course; it is more like a bridging certificate, and can (easily) be completed in under 18 months even at part time engagement.

I flew from Canada to Australia in 2006. My advice for everyone: Be Prepared. Once you have your baggage and you're "free to go", no, you might not be. Depending on your situation (I went there as a single guy, no one with me), you might get approached by airport security asking for details on where you're going and for how long. Have your passport ready. Have your itinerary ready (if you don't know what that is, Google it, and then make one). Don't just show up at Sydney Airport and think you're going on a random adventure. Australian officials don't like random. lol 3:51 He looks C O N C E R N E D. 9:37 When your hair REALLY wants to party. 19:30 I'm sorry but we're way past the point where a second person should have been present for this. The guy refused to comply from the start and was acting difficult.

I hope Canadian Border Services watch this program. Young or old, it is hard to believe the lying and bad behavior. Deport them immediately.

That Chinses guy should get the full fine for each crime he did then sent back and banned!

How come a forgotten chicken sandwich from an elderly NZ woman got her a $3000 fine and all this is only $300

I cannot understand, the student spent 3 yrs in Australia, he cannot speak English.

The south korean 'student' wanting to return to Australia for a FORTH year and needing a translator, 🤣

That last young man brought it on himself. Had too much fun partying, watching kangaroos, and didn't go to class Hopefully, that lad learned his lesson.

A $360 fine is just simply not enough. Should be per item, every single seed, etc. should have a fine, minimum.

4 years for a Diploma! Nope. He was working here and sending money home.

I WOULDN'T LET ANY OF THESE PEOPLE IN.

How can you be a student in a country without speaking the language?

The man on his cell phone who says he diesnt understand and just flat out ignores her... Shes got legendary patience!

I love this show. Ours was cancelled in Canada, because of a filmed interrogation.

a Diploma doesnt take 3-4 years .. so the last guy was probably just wasting his time

If they tell you not to grab your phone while they are searching your bags in the US and you grab your phone anyways....they will rip you a new one

"he's not paying attention to me" !! Of course he's not with you just repeating yourself and doing absolutely nothing. That phone call should have been reason enough to put him on the next plane back. You sound like a parent who continually threatens their child with discipline, but never follows through.

There's a cure for fidgety hands. They're called handcuffs.

Except that having a return flight ticket doesn’t tell you anything about someone’s travel plans. Tickets can be cancelled, dates adjusted, the ticket going unused, etc.

refuse to declare should mean NO ENTRY & put on next flight back!

A mere 360 Dollars for a possible trillion Dollar consequence while the student gets a possible 3 year ban. Baffling.

Because he worked in a restaurant instead of studying.

HIGH RISK SEEDS!!! spills them all over the table

I am far away from Australia, but it made me angry that people(some of them) do not respect the laws which actually is for the benefit and security of Traveler and Australian people. In the meantime I had to laugh when I have seen the maggots(worms) how negligent are them to bring in suitcase and the another to steal back the illegal drugs. Horrible! It something to shout at sky!!!

Anyone clearly being caught hiding/snuggling items in should have to return to their country plus pay for return flight

Im sure if you you smuggle any hazards into China… You would be jailed for Long time🤷🏼‍♂️ Insaine that people Take that risk, on the behalf of any nation🫣 Drugs and Tobacco… IGAF!

The young Korean kid didn't think that they would check to see if he was enrolled in courses. You thought WRONG!! And just saying that you're "thinking of enrolling in a diploma course" doesn't mean you actually will - and you have no funds to pay for school!! Guess who's going home!!!

I worked in an international airport for many years. It's unreal what people leave in the bathrooms closest to the TSA inspection area. I’m really grateful for these inspectors considering what I’ve found just going into the restroom 🤯

How did that guy really think he was going to get in with all those seeds and cigarettes? $360 plus what he paid for the stuff they confiscated!

Man got a bad poker face, the instant they looked at the bottle he flipped

A bit counter logic that a man knowingly attempting to smuggle in prohibited substances AND stealing them back when confiscated is allowed entry after a minor ticket.

If we behaved like this at China border security, I dread to think what would happen

What I don't like about the videos of border force is they jump from one person to the other. Finish interviewing one person, then go to the next, it is so annoying to jump from one scene to another.

Good morning Australia 🇦🇺

Why wasn’t the guy caught for smuggling, seeds, tobacco etc not refused entry

started watching it today, this has become my favourite show!

12:20 it's funny how a couple centuries ago all it took to enter Australia was being a convict but now it's nearly impossible

The borde forse is wayy too lenient on people hiding illegal stuff in their bags and lying about everything. Fines should be at least double more actions taken to stop the people from doing this.

360 dollars fine is peanut for peoples who deliberately conceal banned products to Australia , they do it with a clear purpose so they need to face more heavy fine and jail . Only with heavy fine may stop them smuggle banned goods to Australia.

They really are cheeky baskets

It's cool when you land in Australia and they have signs up letting you know they're filming. Happened to me arriving in Sydney 2017 😅 I was secretly hoping I would get on, but I always declare!

Wow no empathy from those border officers when cancelling the South Korean man’s visa.

That female customs officer,is the loudest and most disorganized person I've ever seen on this show.

I am hooked on these shows. Now, I even dream in sequences that ping pong from one to another and back again. It's frustrating but I must stay thru the whole dream show.

How is that Korean student studying in Australia and he needs an interpreter? As.and ESL teacher, it makes me weep because colleges enrol too many students without the requisite language skills causing a whole world of pain for the school, the professors and everyone else.

DEPORT the smugglers

Poor girl. I'm glad she was let go .

Watched a load of this during covid love the series ❤😂

The fines are too low!!!

The Chinese gentleman seemed to understand what he wanted to understand

I'm surprised they hand out visas before verifying language ability.

The border control lady is too nice, get the security please 🤬

Oh yes, the student will enrol in a new course once he’s allowed into the country… Red flags!

The Chinese Seed Smuggler may be the most 'Nervous Nelly (Ne Li) to ever attempt it. He may as well had a neon sign on his head saying, in several languages, "I'm a bad boy with naughty items in my bags!."

The fine should increase to at least over thousand dollars, a few hundred dollars for nothing.

Amazing search at security border 👍

19:18 man that guy really did his best to salvage at least 1 pack of cigarettes, now thats commitment hahah

the fines are a joke should be 1000 plus and i bet they dont pay them

Anyone trying to conceal anything illegal should be sent back, visa cancelled and blocked from re-entry for 20 years.

Lol any sort of travelling: driving rules still apply: triple O’s

Good work 👍
