The lady ripped that clothes in front of him and then made the dude clean up the mess 😂😂😂

[toes]

Tearing his clothes is lame af. “Happy with my inspection” 😂😂 you mean happy with destroying your way to make a living

[TTML]

5:41 “there’s no eye contact at all” Instantly camera zooms in on guy making eye contact with her 😂 totally lied

[PrestonBoespflug_]

" i get that he's a small business owner and everyone has to start somewhere, but not today'' that was pathetic to watch

[konflict]

I love how homegirl in the begining absolutly wrecks his clothes and then makes him clean up the mess. Real class act there

[Ria-sdex]

I just want to know when Nat Geo transitioned from teaching us about animals, to the war on drugs😂

[ktzlk]

while theyre cutting up a mans retail inventory, people are sneaking in paraphernalia lololol

[Deepee_wh]

10:29 they way that the officer was cutting the clothes was so unnecessary. She could’ve cut the side or something so the guy still have a chance to get some orders from his meeting.

10:50 the lady cutting up the sample clothing, went overboard. She damaged them to the point where it is un-viewable, can't be tried on, for potential buyers. She wasn't supposed to do it like that. Its supposed to be done in a way where the item's shape, size, patterns etc are fully discernable. Socks, gloves, shirts: one clean slice. That DOESN'T warp the shape. She obliterated most of those items.

Some customs officers only cut a slice in the inside tags.

Getting away from undercover cops with an Elentra is stupidly funny 😂😂

[wam.g]

i cannot imagine being a undecover and letting them guys in the black sedan get away out there in san diego 😂😂😂😂

[eric]

As someone who lives in SD I can honestly say that the police are more afraid of the Weather then the criminals LOL😂😂😂

[stblocsteppn]

At this point they just pick whoever they want to search and hope they have contraband lmao

[miguelito]

13:14 guy was so happy they didnt find the load 😂

[uniqueone]

“The dog picked up the wind” 🌬️ 🌬️ 😅😅😅

[DePalma.]

How the heck did the San Diego police lose the Elantra?
Are you kidding me?
They saw it had a whole suitcase & were right behind it😂

[Ghosthunter]

The woman ripping the clothes went too far

[patwagner]

What am I missing. I can see counterfeit items or undeclared items. But the guy whose clothes she cut up and destroyed. Why not just rip off the tags so he can't sell as new? Or tell him to go back and declare them? I don't understand. If nothing else they could take the clothes from him and donate to homeless shelters. I don't understand the point of destroying perfectly good clothing. It makes no sense.

[rosellacovington]

That lady carrying 15 bags just to bring family and friends stuff. Um no… I wouldn’t dare bring all that mess through the airport like that.

[stillhere]

The guy with clothes being demolished, welcome to USA 😂
