4 US Tourists arrested in Turks and Caicos for Inadvertently bringing in ammo
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/turks-a...facetime-kids/
Now there's 4 of them arrested, the oldest, apparently, is a 72 year old guy. They all face 12 years in prison for that mistake. Quote:

Stupid asses need to pay more attention to detail. You do not go to any country and test the waters. Leave them there for a few months and maybe they'll get the drift
No sympathy from me |

While I agree a traveler to another country, any country, should pay attention to details (like their laws) he wasn't trying to "test the waters," which implies he knew about the ammo. Stupid comment is stupid.

There was a movie made probably in the '80s about a guy who tried smuggling some drug into Turkey and was caught. I watched it in 1990.
All I remember of it was the scene where the captors had an electric drill and drilled a hole into the side of his knee. I was at this hot 33 year-old girl's house (her two kids were there ) and couldn't concentrate too well on the movie. I didn't get in her pants that night, but did a week or two later.

We cross the border a lot, 3-4 times a month and we always check the car.
If you spend a decent amount of time at the range, after 4-5 trips, you will almost always have loose ammo in the trunk or wherever you transport. I also would never use the same bag for 2 different things like that. |

This guy was a cruise ship passenger getting back on the ship, when Royal Caribbean found 2 rounds of 9mm in his backpack, that he had obviously boarded the ship with, then R.C. took him and the two rounds TO Turks and Caicos, he exited the ship, then got back ON the ship, and THAT'S when they found the two rounds and turned him in to the local police.
Douchebag move on R.C.'s part. isn't the screening done right at the dock? How hard would it have been to have an "oops" moment? "Dude, just casually drop those two rounds in the water on your way into the boat. Tell anyone who says anything you tossed a couple quarters in the water for good luck." https://www.nbcboston.com/investigat...rests/3363353/ Quote:
Yes, the safe play would be to have a designated range bag that isn't used for any other purpose, but think about it.....men are practical. We don't typically buy more than we need. It's not like we're buying different purses for different outfits. Dude has a backpack, dude is taking a cruise, he's probably not going to buy another backpack to take when he has a perfectly good one already. The Turks and Caicos is a British colony, and they can enforce whatever draconian laws they want. The getting caught having ammo thing used to be, "pay a big fine and GTFO." OK, reasonable. They changed the law to add hefty jail time. The US government could be doing more to help these people. Tourism is probably a big part of their economy. Threatening to blackball their islands from US tourists might get their attention. So they get their pound of flesh out of this guy. How's it going to feel when the US departing ships simply no longer stop there? Their own businesses will be clamoring for the law's punishment to be changed back to fine only. |

The guy is 100% at fault. Now he’s started a crowdfunding site asking people he doesn’t know to pay for his ****up. It’s a weird world we live in.

Guy will pay a $ 6,700 fine, gets a one year suspended sentence, so as soon as he pays the fine, he gets to go home. Judge finds the mandatory sentence guidelines to be inappropriate for this guy. I'm glad his nightmare is over. |

So today, it looks like one of them is coming home from a suspended sentence. Maybe that Judge is concerned this will put a damper on tourism.

I am not a one-sided party line slurpee. I said let him spend a few months and they will get the drift. I wouldn't even screw with Canada let alone most anywhere else.
I used to go into Canada pre 9/11. Entering was a "hi and a wave." returning back into the US from Canada was an hour long emptying of my car, luggage wallets, the whole enchilada. These 4-5 people have done their time. You're a guest in a foreign country whether it is regular travel spots like Turks, Cancun or SE Asia areas. They don't fk around. Seems that Judge realizes if these people spend years in prison, tourism is all but dead. The point has been made by Turks. |
