I like how they include when they're wrong too! Because they like to show you when they catch everyone and how the cops always have to "look good" and "be right" but they're wrong too sometimes. It helps humanize them and hopefully teaches them too that NOT EVERYONE IS A SUSPECT sometimes they're just traveling and confused - not smugglers!
i know most people watch this bc of smugglers and drugs, but the part about the african monoliths was so interesting, i hope we get more scenes like that in the next episodes
Me too
I agree. That was the best catch of all!
💯 they should have segments or full episodes dedicated to that! One thing I don't like about this shoe though, j really want to see the investigation from beginning to end when they catch the person it's being mailed to 😂 i wish I could be the fly on the wall for that part!
Just because you said this, I hope we get less African monolith-esque things
How much of this stuff do you think is being smuggled? I don’t think it’s enough for a whole show lol
That's a lot of meth when you need a shovel to move it
Walt and Jesse would disagree. 😆
yeah, and then imagine how many cops when sniffing around on the floor to see what was missed in the bags lol
$680 for 34 grams of weed? That made me laugh 😂
If it's sold in 20 and 50s lol I would argue it's personal and bulk
ikr who tf is paying $20/g now days? what a joke lmao
Me, bruh@@systemspecchecker
@@joyfulk9serviceslol they’re in Michigan that 28g would’ve been $50
Surprised by what they always take bulk drugs and value them at the greatest street price possible to make it sound enormous 2 kilos $500,000 dollars
“Guy in his underwear that’s cool” 😂😂😂
just another day on the job 😂😂
.......seemed legit......🤷♀
Congratulations to drugs for winning the war on drugs 😂
The undercover cops were very conspicuous
I thought the same. The NYC HSI look super conspicuous
They aren't too bright. Just there body build and attire scream 5-0
Cops look like cops... Period
They did a terrible job
Not even tinted windows...either they truly don't care or its all staged 😂
if u paying 680 for 34 grams u crazy
Facts
100 dollar a gram for ketamine? 😂
Yup, 80-100 in my area lol
@@jessecastro895 wow that’s crazy! It’s around 15/30 here in the Netherlands and sometimes even cheaper depending on your source
@@Faargkjidmipyeah I went to ADE last year, blown away by all the party supply prices lol we even got 3 grams for free. 😂
@@jessecastro895 whaaat? gawd dayum we are blessed in the eu lol
@@senpai2014 everything else is cheap and strong though. Lol the expensive stuff is K and MDMA.
“He’s the only one in the vehicle, the firearm is his today.” Lol
What a wonderful and insightful documentary! Bravo! This series should continue with other types of drugs! I haven’t enjoyed a National Geographic documentary in a while. Most of them are boring or irrelevant but this one has a real impact and informative! Good job! Keep it going!💯
I love this show, keep it coming.
Meanwhile the guy who bought the monoliths watching this video bec. he likes documentaries : 👁️👄👁️
.......🤣😂
Hallelujah
It's so sad and it's all across America😢
Even the good guy's gotta bag up dope once and a while 😅😂
twas farrr too much for the end of year crack up......🤣😂
I love this show. Everyone should also watch Mariana Van Zeller . Very educational. 💯
27:42 that there is crystal meth vaporizing on the hot tip of the drill folks. You know they knew they hit pay dirt, meth has a very unique chemical odor.
how do you know?
lmao them female workers checking that guy form costa rica , made me mad that they were asking so many questions he aint even know himself even if he was in wrong lmao
baiter tester.....🤣😂
At 25:45 those guys looks like cops from a mile away. We see you !!
Good job!!
I stayed at that General Motors marriot hotel by the Windsor tunnel. Beautiful place by the river, there is a platform you can wave at and observe travelers coming in and leaving. That area of Detroit downtown and its environs is generally beautiful, gave me a different view from the bad rap I hear or see about Detroit. We walked around and it was great.
God forbid someone buys a new suitcase to travel to a destination and brings samples for the friends
Thank u
This dramatic episode is too good to believe in lol
Right? 😂
Where? I must find this place its raining meth! 😳😂😂
NEVER SIGN FOR A PACKAGE. IV BEEN ALIVE FOR 30 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO SIGN FOR MAIL. IF YOUR DOING DIRT AND THEY ASK FOR A SIG YOU BETTER VAPORIZE INTO THIN AIR CAUSE YOUR COOKED, DONT PLAY WITH THE MAIL AND IF YOU ARE MAILING THINGS MAKE SURE THEY ARE POST CARDS TO YOUR GRANNY
This went from breaking bad to pawn stars really quick
And then back to breaking bad
Okay I don't understand something how is it that weed is legal in Michigan and in Canada but yet They confiscated if you get anywhere near the border? Do they have signs before you get to the border that says that you will have it confiscated? I don't know. I've never tried to cross border. I had no idea that it was illegal to try to get near a border with weed where it's legal
Yeah I’m very surprised as well, the only thing I guess they could use as a reason is since weed isn’t federally legal in the states they could be taking it somewhere illegal to sell but with the amount they had it wouldn’t be worth it lol
When you are in the zone that is border patrol you are not in Canada or united state. You are on federal land, government
Even though weed may be legal in many states overall it is still federally illegal which is the reason behind it getting confiscated coming into the country
...it made absolutely No sense at all.All Logic is out the door.
It's illegal. Only some states stopped criminalizing it. But federal law is above state and that's why it's illegal. Like with illegal immigrants in California.
Is it just me or do the uc officers stick out like a sore thumb during the attempted controlled delivery?
They took bros bird nest but yets theres millions of pounds of drugs passing right by them every year😂
They have X-rays 🙄🙄🙄
There are rules for a reason. You can't just let things go.
Profiling. I hate the airport
"You cannot have this at the border" when talking about a driver who has made a wrong turn at the border while being legally in Detroit.
love the vids
If yall ever need help taking inventory of stuff in the evidence lockers I'm your guy 😂
29:04....Logan Paul🤣🤣🤣 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Anyone else notice them searching the black suv with tan interior and then they found a gun in that car but now it has black leather interior 😂 29:50
And they towed a different vehicle 🤣😂 30:58 my boy innocent
12:30 what is that?
Hallelujah :)
seems like alot of wasted money
I can take inventory in the evidence locker
If they legalized it. It wouldn't change a thing on the streets.
It very much will. It would dramatically cut the black market and take the money out of it for the dealers and smugglers
@@shyone8386 It wouldn't change anything. weed is becoming legal all over but the black market is still booming because its always going to remain cheaper
@@shyone8386 Nope, not a shot. In fact, it would make the issue worse. California where I am legalized Marijuana, and guess what? Illegal grows actually went up, because the taxes on weed are so high that people would rather just go to a dealer than go to a dispensary. The only people in CA who visit a dispensary are tourists, everyone else has a dealer lol. The advantage of drug decriminalization is that it allows addicts to seek help, and stops prosecution of people who are possessing. But it does not in any way stop the black market one bit. I still believe that drugs should be decriminalized, but people act like that's going to immediately dry up all the crime, when in fact it wouldn't even dent drug dealers' profits. And as long as there is profit to be made, there will be violence to control it. The issue was that we made it illegal in the first place!
Juan Gabriel is alive and working as a Miami Customs Officer for the Miami Airport
Thank you for your service. It makes a difference.
no it absolutely does not
The amount of money wasted on enforcing drug laws is atrocious. And all of that so they can maybe catch 1/100th of all the drugs coming through. It's a war that you'll never ever win and the taxpayers are the ones paying for it.
It's a horse tranquiliser loved at the nightclubs. Bro seen a few ugly cows but never a horse at a nightclub!
ya aint been to many niteclubs have ya......🤣😂....giddyup.....🤠🎠
I feel so bad for a lot of these drug smugglers as a lot of them do it out of desperation. I also feel bad for those who consume these drugs as I believe they too, are doing it out of a sense of desperation. A hope to feel better in a bitter and unpredictable world. Perhaps disappointed or bruised, drugs may bring a temporary happiness or peace. I know a peace that passes all understanding. And it is not in the world of drugs.
500 like was mine.
🎉
Who brings lean to a festival?!
Street value == Priceless .,. NYC street value = a chunk of concrete
I wonder what happens when they destroy someone's property and don't find anything.
Give them raise for trying to
I have a friend who imported a vehicle dash pad from England into Australia. It was a pretty rare item. Australian Customs cut it to pieces looking for drugs. They just gave him what was left of it (it was totally destroyed). He complained but was told there was no compensation or anything he could do about it!
@@stephenvelden295That's messed up
who are behind these dreadful thing?
Dea is watching all comments beware! 😮
Congrats HSI. You guys did a fantastic job. Well done
so sad birds nests bird spit valued higher than the lives of wild birds
Huh?
@@datFUNKYb .....🤷♀
Yes there's still robust international trade for the illegal nest made from Swifts that are collected along Cliffs it is made from the spit of birds The Nest are considered Delicacies because of course they are considered good for virility among other medicinal uses and just like the Rhinos horns animals are maimed and/or killed and devastated because people think they need fertility from these special Foods
dogs are amazingly effective... wonder why nobody has invented an electronic 'sniffer' that detects signature scents at crazy low levels? seems possible. the Gemini is quite an amazing device.
509k for 66kg thats a good deal
hallelujah 😅😅
What???
Imagine how much of this is getting through. My thought is the only way to win the war on drugs is to legalize, tax and regulate.
U must think about the consequence.
Why would they do that when their regulated pharmacies are already loaded with every substance in this video ready for legal insurance money
Ask Oregon how legalizing drug use worked for them.
start a drug habit, cant live a norma life for more than 3 months, cant get a job anywhere so they resort to stealing to fund their legal drug habit.
The police torpedoed it, the state sat on over 250mil earmarked for the program and never hired a director. They wanted it to fail and did their best to facilitate it.@@use-ThatIsWhatIamTalkingAbout
It irates me when they make a big deal of someone carrying a bit of weed 🙄 and then they seize it cuz they made a wrong turn... Like really?!!! 🙄
WTG on finding so much Meth, that's a lot of runt lives, that drug is straight from the devil
You know they are letting that stuff through. Corrupt
In USA they just bring it across the border, its so easy to just walk right by anyone.
Birds’ nests? That’s completely disgusting, and digging out ancient artifacts is a criminal act. Don’t people care about anyone other than themselves anymore? Maybe they never did…I’m losing my perspective as I age. And while I’m on a roll, I can’t get over how tatted up so many law enforcement officers are these days…they do realize that their skin is going to shrivel like mine has, right? And wow, has marijuana ever decreased in value!
34 grams not not even close to worth 680$ y’all taxin it
coffee
U sieze and and give the kartel
Oof that first part. “Asian names in Spanish countries.” Dude, there are Asians EVERYWHERE, that’s not suspicious. You never seen an Asian person who was born in South America? Doesn’t Brazil have a massive Asian population? 🙃
Peru has a huge Japanese population.
12:18. See they were buried in dirt they must be legit artifacts! 😂 Don't take much to fool some people i suppose! Got dirt on em they must be the real deal!!! 😂😂😆 Inspector gadget super troopers
Learn archeology
Bird’s Nest….🤮
intresting noodels :3
“It’s raining men” was a popular song in the 80’s that’s the joke lol
I hate hate hate drugs and the people who distribute it God help the United States
everyone has their own choice to take or NOT take drugs...just like liquor....no difference...
We aint seen nothing yet. Worse is coming
1st please pin 📌
Attention beggar 💀
3 woman to do 1 mans job
My Hope Is This item stay in the United States
It's my hope to never see it at all, nor be accused of being a consumer of it by those in higher status and in law enforcement.
Nooo not the k
It’s every were in Louisiana 40 for a gram
Love the fact there in queens to im thinking Elmhurst or Rego Park area tho
