[i_]

🤣 The first 2 got the Meth Head Starter kit going on

[TraviesoLoco]

That girl who was giving a hard time to be searched was the bait lol. She made the cover for the actual mule to get by since she had a lot of officers busy with her. Smart move lol

[looneybinjim]

"Her behaviour was horrible"

Looks like the poor girl was petrified to me...

[catqb]

The girl that cried & was clean* I think she just didnt want to be touched/looked at. Some people just can't help feeling anxious of strangers, in power or no, touch them/see them un clothed.

[sterlingdickey]

If a cop is getting upset because someone doesn't have drugs then they do not need to be a cop anymore. They are way too emotionally involved and is a huge conflict of interest.

[Scorpio-tnvy]

I love it when these cocky unqualified agents are wrong after being so cocky. They should act like they do.

[jackikordich]

I absolutely love it when you guys catch drug smugglers, but NOT EVERYONE IS A DRUG SMUGGLER

[islandsurveyor]

How the customs agents probe the food (honey & sugar) for consumption with no regard for sanitation or contamination is just disgusting 🥶

[frightenedchaos]

Her behaviour wasn't horrible, she was scared. Of course she's wearing a jacket, she's self conscious about her body. The officer is either new to the job or has zero skills when it comes to reading a person.

[w_kwok]

They said "her behavior was horrible" like she came in and screamed, trashed, and flipped tables instead of silently crying

[rmw]

The techniques for searching the storage containers was extremely remedial

[nickv]

They act like people should be happy to be searched.. a innocent person could also not want to be searched and not want to be harrassed. Mind boggling yhe things they come up with as reasons to search people.

[hotdme]

Are you kidding me?? They stuck a foreign metal object into a barrel of honey, they just contaminated a company's product? They should go to jail or get a fine like the rest of us!

[Azsunes]

Saying no to a pat down is suspicious... Being nervous is suspicious.... Pretty sure those are normal reactions for people who are experiencing something for the first few times. Then when they find nothing they seem upset that they have to let them go because they were innocent.

[michaelnieves]

These policemen get very mad if they didn't find anything on you and they think they are detectives but they have a lot to learn about human behavior.

[sebastianclemens]

The way the border patrol dude said “thats how we save America”😂😂 I guess he really thinks that😂 what a guy

[Squeeeez]

So at around 6:10 is that guy really using the same knife he used to open thousands of packages, with tape sticking on the blade, to take a sample?

[Jammsbro]

8:15 this guy is dangerous. Listen to what he is saying. They have nothing and he only lets them go because there is nothing more he can do.

[thepottmi]

This video is so disturbing for a few reasons:
1. they get a search warrant for a house simply from an address on an envelope (who would use their own address?)
2. They drip honey all over attracting insects.
3. They probe food with sticks.
4. One officer looks at the open honey container like he had no means to actually seal it back up.
5. They use a knife to sample the powder (presumably could be contaminated from previous test)
6. They find out people are not carrying anything and still act like they are guilty ("That's all we can do", and shrugs).

[drfeelgood]

Acts like it’s unfortunate when they let someone go who doesn’t have drugs. “We’ve done all we can do to violate these people”
