Video has been removed, wtf happened?


I've gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs,
Blown up for Raquel Welch.
But when I wind up in the hay it's only hay, Hey Hey

macarone Not sure why it was taken down now - a few minutes after I posted the link. The other episodes in the series are still there.

Title is: Border Security America's Front Line 2x07 Episode 7

 

[GingerBubba]

And what happened (in a nutshell)?

 

[R2L]

Summary: Couple tried to bring in several Rolexes, AP's, hidden in fake LV and Prada handbags. Customs and Border Patrol confiscated all of them but allowed them to keep one watch and one bag. (one for him; one for her.) Guy asked to call his lawyer but was denied on the grounds he was not under arrest.

 

[R2L]

Let's try this again.

Here is the same contents of the previous video but spread out over 3 sections:

"Border Security America's Front Line 2x10 Episode 10"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sum7is0W43g

2:53 - 5:15
11:52 - 13:52
19:34 - 21:31

Regarding the comment about rights to legal counsel - this comment is made at the very end:

"US citizens have the right to a lawyer for all CBP questioning. Non-US citizens have the right to counsel only after they've been detained."

(I'm curious if this one will be taken down a few minutes after I post this!"

They got off easy. My Uncle Ned was tazed and jailed. He spent 5 years in Leavenworth for smuggling a shipment of replicas into the United States. He had 10-20 watches.

 

[R2L]

ahh, yes, Tucker Your Uncle Ned is world famous. I understand he was later deported to Australia where he made quite the name for himself. His full name was Ned Kelly, IIRC

 

[macarone]

Wow! Thanks for the video. Makes you wonder if it’s really worth it to go on a replica smorgasbord or just hang out here?

Ok, that's pretty dumb on the couple's side. The quantity and way they were transporting them, along with the number of fake bags. SMH.

 

[Time_Keeper]

I think the problems come when they have reason to suspect you’re bringing them in to resell rather than personal use. If you’ve got one on your wrist and a one in a pouch I’m sure you’ll be fine.

Other than Pams in Italy, I’ve heard that’s a whole different ball game.

That and they had no faces and they sounded like they were from outer space!
