Why no blur?
Does anyone know how these border control / customs shows work at all?
As far as I can tell you could be a passenger on the flight from hell via London arriving in convict land, Sydney. As you get off the plane trying to clear the sleep and dribble from your face you are forced to go through customs with a camera team recording your every word and move. If you cut a loud fart the whole world will here about it.
This camera team then make decisions to concentrate on the following. If you are cleared through customs quickly and without fuss you don’t make the show. If you are questioned and thought to be carrying illegal substances you are a big chance of making the show. If you are carrying illegal substances and are caught you will 100% make the show.
Now here is the bit I don’t understand. Why does anyone who is carrying drugs agree to actually be identified or let their image be shown on TV? Assuming that they are already nervous enough that they may get caught why would they want to identify themselves?
Or is it that when charged with the crime of carrying illegal substances, having previously agreed to be identified, that they now then have no right to stop the images being shown on TV?
I guess I am just trying to figure out how I would react if the good people at customs started questioning me and suddenly I had a TV camera shoved in my face.
Flying international is hard enough….. should the general public be faced with this?
I’m no expert in TV show production but I have made an ad or 2. I do believe they have a sign in customs that advises people of the filming.
Given most of the offenders can’t speak English then they don’t protest.
This show is the greatest show ever.
It reinforces every type of racial sterotype you can imagine. It rates it’s pants off because your average bevan can sit there and yell at the nasty people invading our country, yelling ‘send em back to their own country.”
I don’t watch these shows. Although I am glad to see the laws are being enforced I tend to agree with the camera in your face thoughts. Seems a tad unfair to me.
You deal in drugs….you LOSE!!
Isn’t that how you got all your money, IASM…….chicken shop is just a front isn’t it?
The Loosers deserve any punnishment they get. if its extra for being on telle then its fine by me
The risk it for bringing it so i don’t se why they should be able to block them showing it
I believe that the people that appear on the show have to sign a release giving permission for them to be recorded. These people choose to be on this show. As to blurring, it is their personal choice – a lot of people like to have this type of attention. Also, shows aren’t aired until after court dates (if applicable). By the way when you are asked if you have any food to declare & you say no – ‘FOOD’ is something you eat!
Take a look at yourself SJ – why wouldn’t they stop you!
Tigger, can you come up with anything else? I think we’re all sick & tired of your pitiful jealous attempts to defame me.
Skunk, I don’t see you at the players functions. So you’re not a real supporter.
Dipstick – You don’t see me but I see you drooling over the players and ogling at them like they are your lovers. Just because you claim to be at player functions does not mean you are a “real supporter”. It just proves you are the self professing imbecile that everyone knew you were
Ok Skunk, how many games did you go to last year? Does the forklift drivers miniscule wage facilitate the weekend trips to Sydney? “No!” I didn’t think so. What do you do to support my team? NOTHING you low life loser!!
Unlike you I don’t drool at players, I offer them constructive advice on how to improve their performance & they are grateful.
No comeback hey Skunk??Loser!
Hello Skunk Hello?? Can’t think of anything hey LOSER!!
Concede defeat & you shall salvage some small pride LOSER.
Know when you are beaten LOSER!
I think the postings have proved to all the readers who the real loser is!
That concession is a sensible one REAL LOSER!
Now that I have dealt with Tigger & Skunk, anyone else care to bring their dancing shoes out of the cupboard?
I didn’t think so.
Maybe some of you will get on-line during smoko & have a go??
We have all been very patient with you, but now is the time to leave this site.
Anyone know how to link IP address to a physical location??
It’s time for IASM to stop hiding behind his PC……..
Tigger, I’m happy to fight you or any other bevan anytime.
No takers? What a surprise, NOT!
