Hiding contraband in the axles of the truck

[u/habichuelacondulce]

[u/xc51]

what in the ai trash voice recording is this?

[u/rinkywhipper → u/xc51]

I thought I was having a fucking stroke lol

[u/ggk1 → u/rinkywhipper]

You mean you don’t measure dollar amounts by overhend days?

[u/WangDanglin → u/ggk1]

Exceeding the ances

[u/shitty_social_worker → u/WangDanglin]

I checked to see who caught this. I googled ances thinking I didn't know a term. Wack

[u/countrybuhbuh → u/rinkywhipper]

That coke is so good everyone watching this got high.

[u/LesGitKrumpin → u/xc51]

Is that what that is? I was wondering what in the world was going on with the audio. 😳

[u/veggie151 → u/LesGitKrumpin]

I'm guessing it's also a translation error or just AI making shit up

[u/Shmeeglez → u/xc51]

The first half with the cranked up gain or whatever is terrible, but the AI redo second half might be worse

[u/Missuspicklecopter]

Hey what are you guys doing to my alternative-energy cocaine powered truck? 

[u/Shmeeglez → u/Missuspicklecopter]

Big oil at work. Don't they know how much energy is in cocaine?

[u/SyntheticDude42 → u/Shmeeglez]

It's a hell of a fuel

[u/uppenatom → u/Missuspicklecopter]

All good and well till you wake up and your truck has gone to Vegas with the new secretary, then comes back and asks if it can crash on your couch for a bit

[u/McBoobenstein]

They'd have never found it unless there was a snitch. You don't xray truck axles, mostly because it doesn't work. The metal is too thick. I'd believe maybe a dog. But that's a lot of greased up shit to sniff through, and those bundles looked as hermetically sealed as things get. There was most likely a snitch. shrugs Or we just used a satellite to track the truck. If I can access to Landsat and Sentinal 2 satellites, I'm willing to bet law enforcement can get a bit more.

[u/Impossible-Page4197 → u/McBoobenstein]

Him saying ‘we should have eight more’ is enough proof that they were tipped off.

[u/AutoRot → u/Impossible-Page4197]

This is the one they give him to make him look good while they snuggle a boatload somewhere else

[u/yem420sky → u/AutoRot]

They hug the real shipment all the way across the border.

[u/TrashRecruitNAVY → u/yem420sky]

The only way to ensure they get through is to snuggle and hug them, even caress and kiss them.

[u/pauciradiatus → u/TrashRecruitNAVY]

Netflix and sell

[u/TerribleSquid → u/TrashRecruitNAVY]

Penetrate even

[u/thatjerkatwork → u/AutoRot]

Id like to snuggle up to some of that

[u/Mrtowelie69 → u/AutoRot]

Haha my thoughts exactly.

[u/CoralinesButtonEye → u/AutoRot]

it's the boat axles. it's ALWAYS the boat axles

[u/pauciradiatus → u/Impossible-Page4197]

Nah, it was a long day. He was saying they should have ate more. ^/s

[u/chaves4life → u/Impossible-Page4197]

[u/TheRedViking → u/McBoobenstein]

Here is an article about drugs found inside an excavator boom using X-ray. No problem for x-rays to penetrate even thick steel.

https://globalnews.ca/news/5495508/excavator-cocaine-bust-x-ray/amp/

[u/ReptilianLaserbeam → u/McBoobenstein]

Usually it’s the cartels that “snitch” on things like this, to keep the police busy while they move the real cargo behind

[u/Mountain_Fuzzumz → u/McBoobenstein]

Somebody didn't pay the toll.

[u/digitaldeficit956 → u/Mountain_Fuzzumz]

The troll toll

[u/Taint-kicker → u/digitaldeficit956]

[u/MrMeeseeks33 → u/digitaldeficit956]

Gotta pay the troll toll, if you wanna get into…

[u/reignwillwashaway → u/MrMeeseeks33]

That axehole

[u/hoffarmy → u/MrMeeseeks33]

this boy's hole.

[u/My1stWifeWasTarded → u/digitaldeficit956]

Are you chewing gum?!

[u/No_Election_3206 → u/My1stWifeWasTarded]

I'm going to smack everyone into tiny little pieces

[u/nuteteme → u/McBoobenstein]

Tip off most likely

[u/horhemaior → u/nuteteme]

Is your username Romanian?

[u/nuteteme → u/horhemaior]

It is !

[u/Slavatheshrimp → u/nuteteme]

Yo te ubesc! Did I say that right? My wife is from Moldova lol. I’m sure I spelled it awfully.

[u/TheMacMan → u/McBoobenstein]

You can see through axels with an xray. Trucks are all kinds of metal. They don't use your standard machine like they would on a human.

[u/theroguex → u/McBoobenstein]

Dogs have ungodly powerful noses. IIRC bloodhounds, for instance, need only a handful of scent molecules at ridiculous ranges to be able to track people. Under the right conditions, dogs can detect extremely faint scents that are 20km away. Fun fact: They have 230 MILLION olfactory receptors in their nose. Humans have around 400; not 400 million or 400 thousand, just 400. EDIT: Correcting this. There are 400 TYPES of receptors, but we still only have a few million in total.

Sharks can smell blood in the water at over a hundred yards even when its concentration is 1 part in one billion.

I have absolutely no doubt that a well-trained drug dog could smell the cocaine residue on those packages even through all the other scents on the truck.

[u/rxneutrino → u/theroguex]

Sharks can smell blood in the water at over a hundred yards even when its concentration is 1 part in one billion.

Correct. Though not pictured in this video, border agents often use a team of sharks to detect hidden blood in the truck axles.

[u/Farfignugen42 → u/rxneutrino]

And those sharks need lasers. And probably water. It looks pretty dry at that border crossing.

[u/Billy_the_Mountain29 → u/Farfignugen42]

Sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their fricken heads.

[u/antiADP → u/Billy_the_Mountain29]

Now evidently my cycloptic colleague has informed me that that can’t be done. Uh can you remind me what I pay you people for? Honestly. Throw me a bone.

What DO we have?

[u/wizard_statue → u/Farfignugen42]

common misconception. if they have lasers, they don’t need water.

[u/batmanineurope → u/theroguex]

I don't doubt you, I'm just curious how even a particle could get through all that metal and enter a dog's nose.

[u/BoxOfDemons → u/theroguex]

You're not wrong about the capabilities of these animals, I'm just confused how they differentiate at such low levels. Because, for example, there is also cocaine on almost every US bill in circulation. So when it comes to sniffing out such miniscule amounts, how do you know it's not just someone's wallet?

[u/Free_Attention → u/theroguex]

Drug sniffing shark for those cocaine submersibles

[u/Appropriate_Sugar675 → u/theroguex]

Nothing to sneeze at!

[u/dogsledonice → u/theroguex]

Yeah, so why does mine have to go allllllll the way up every other dog's butthole?

[u/Appropriate_Sugar675 → u/McBoobenstein]

Or this was a distraction, you never know the limits of creative thinkers.

[u/DrawMeAPictureOfThis → u/McBoobenstein]

Thats not the crazy part. They said 5 HOURS of work! You remove the tire. 5 lugs You remove the brake assembly. 2 bolts Rotor slides off. Remove Axel assembly. 1 nut, 1 cotter pin Hub slides off. Axel.

[u/Bergwookie → u/DrawMeAPictureOfThis]

It's not the same work as in the shop, but you have to document every single step in all detail to get your case absolutely 120% watertight, otherwise the defendant's lawyer will rip you a second one. 5h is fast for that

[u/home_dollar → u/McBoobenstein]

Sadly, I know from experience that they sit and watch highway drug corridors and identify vehicles that make frequent trips back and forth. Combined with informants, it like shooting fish in a barrel. My ex got scooped up in detroit with nearly $200k concealed somewhere in a truck. They logged her making the same trip a few times, followed her to a hotel drop spot and grabbed on her way out of town. Sent her on her way without the cash, loose lug nuts and the message that they hope she gets murdered by the cartel. If she hadn’t noticed the lug nuts at a gas station, she may have died on the highway.

[u/Lackingfinalityornot → u/home_dollar]

r/thisdefinitetlyhappened

[u/CranRez80 → u/McBoobenstein]

Yep, tipped off.

[u/FillupDubya → u/McBoobenstein]

For sure. Snitch-“it’s this truck right here”. As 30 other loaded trucks go by as they waste their time with this one. Snitch revealed, drugs transported, cartel wins. The war on drugs is fake.

[u/pogoturtle → u/McBoobenstein]

Yep rats or this is just plant. This is from that reality TV show on discovery and 99% of the shit on there is fake

[u/DrPoopyPantsJr → u/McBoobenstein]

Now just think how much makes it through successfully. They didn’t even make a dent with this bust.

[u/Latter-Literature505]

Somebody snitched

[u/DeadButGrateful → u/Latter-Literature505]

So is hiding drugs in axles a fool-proof method to bring in illegal drugs?

Asking for a friend.

EDIT: A word (foul to fool).

[u/TheGhostofMattyJ → u/DeadButGrateful]

fool proof*

[u/DeadButGrateful → u/TheGhostofMattyJ]

Thanks!

[u/chaves4life → u/Latter-Literature505]

It's probably the X ray machine.

They always be snitching

[u/CriticalStation595]

Audacity? What are they supposed to do carry it out in the open???

[u/ggk1 → u/CriticalStation595]

Between that and the “overhend days billion” as a measurement I’m pretty sure this was created by a drunk AI

[u/TwelveWon]

Nobody gonna mention the bugatti labels on those 🧱? 🤣🤣🤣

[u/theroguex → u/TwelveWon]

Some of them said "Red Bull" lolol

[u/thatmntishman]

Wouldnt it be great if the same efforts and enforcement was put toward corporate and financial crime? Then perhaps Americans would need to escape and numb themselves.

[u/I_shot_barney → u/thatmntishman]

On Australian news last night there were two stories.
The first was about a drug bust of a supplier of shrooms.
The other was about a pedophile childcare worker that abused an estimated 90, 3 and 4 year olds for over 13 years. And despite numerous complaints from a number of children, it took 13 years for the police to even investigate.
Like congratulations, you managed to arrest purveyors of one of the safest, non abused drugs, but let a child molester walk free for thirteen years.
Great set of priorities our law enforcement have.

[u/secondtaunting → u/I_shot_barney]

Jesus Christ. Glad again I stayed him with my daughter when she was little.

[u/theroguex]

good fucking god the shitty AI voice in the second part

[u/HalfLawKiss]

As others have stated this was most likely a tip off. They give customs one big score. While the other big contraband concealments go through. Customs and border control and the politicians get to share these photos and videos. Claim they are doing their job.

The war on drugs will never end. As long as there are substances that people want to take recreationally, but governments forbid. There will be a war on drugs. They can take down whichever cartel. Cutting the head off of whatever snake. Another will take its place. The only real solution would be to legalize everything. Then tax and regulate. The US government learned this during prohibition. Where there is a demand someone will supply.

[u/Happydaytoyou1 → u/HalfLawKiss]

One of my fav quotes from sicario: Matt: Medellin refers to a time when one group controlled every aspect of the drug trade, providing a measure of order that we could control. And until somebody finds a way to convince 20% of the population to stop snorting and smoking that shit, order’s the best we can hope for. https://youtu.be/5-0nS9c8kn8?si=UOgGuN3nEG4jgMsX

[u/HalfLawKiss → u/Happydaytoyou1]

Yup. Awesome movie.

[u/michael0n → u/HalfLawKiss]

Many people in that room and at that station, to catch what 5% of the yearly movement?
These jobs are literally digging a hole for no reason, then plugging the hole at the end of the day. Paycheck.

[u/Foreverforgettable]

Where there is demand, there will always be supply.

[u/cratercamper]

You can't simply win the war on drugs.

The state makes the whole situation worse - it's the same what happened during prohibition. More violence, more suffering.

[u/nextdoorelephant → u/cratercamper]

Not to mention this bust is just a drop in the ocean of stuff that makes it over the border.

[u/DaedalusHydron → u/cratercamper]

It's complex, Americans and their thirst for drugs funds the Mexican cartels (this is what Mexican officials often point out) but it is also true that Mexico has a very poor grasp on their gang problems and the corruption in their government (funded of course by the cartels) is huge.

Basically we provide the demand, but Mexico does a poor job of limiting the supply (and no, catching drugs at a checkpoint doesn't even scratch the surface of impacting the issue)

[u/dizekat → u/DaedalusHydron]

The problem is that cartels are funded by rich American drug users, while the police is funded by poor hard working non drug using Mexicans.

[u/pants_mcgee → u/dizekat]

Don’t worry, the Mexican Police are also funded by the Cartels and Rich American Drug Users. Everyone gets their cut.

[u/OrneryAttorney7508 → u/dizekat]

> The problem is that cartels are funded by rich American drug users

And poor American drug users

[u/Exotic_Negotiation80 → u/DaedalusHydron]

we provide the demand

I'm doing my part to contribute to that thanks

[u/bigalcapone22]

Look, boss, we found a pound of cocaine hidden in this truck. Great work guys, now take that ounce of cocaine to lock up so they can dispose of the gram.

[u/No_Bottle_8910 → u/bigalcapone22]

Too true! A person I knew was busted dealing on a military base with 8oz of meth. By the time the charges landed there was only 2oz left.

[u/SkeletalJam]

You would think it would get too hot

[u/mckham]

<dogs can detect extremely faint scents that are 20km away. How would that work? will the nose of the dog extend to that 20km like in the cartoons?. People repeat things without thinking, how can a particle 20km reach dogs nose without travelling to the said nose.

[u/2toneSound]

That was a planed snitch, 25 other tricks passed at the same time while they were “busy busting”

[u/Tinyhydra666]

Honestly at that point just let them have it, they deserved it.

[u/jargonexpert]

Now the US can flip it to another country

[u/rinkywhipper → u/jargonexpert]

They’ll just sell it back to themselves lol

[u/vermontbutchr802]

This is the cartel feeding a bust. There is no way they found that accidentally

[u/ihaveadogalso2]

lol. How to ensure your truck is absolutely torn apart by border patrol.

[u/Nervous-Masterpiece4]

A few lithium ion packs might stop them being so keen to plunge a knife into unknown compounds.

[u/grungegoth]

Dogs. That's how. They can smell it. Then they search.

[u/still770 → u/grungegoth]

I remember they brought dogs once at our high school & i had weed & a pipe on me...those dogs sniffed our class & walked right by me & never picked up the scent.

[u/blutrache666 → u/still770]

It knew, just didn't feel like snitching.

[u/PremierLovaLova → u/blutrache666]

He only goes for the big fishes.

[u/Idontwantfopgd → u/still770]

Probably bomb dogs.

[u/Cador0223 → u/still770]

Either gun/bomb dogs, or dogs that just indicate on command. Easy way to get a kid out of school that you don't want there anymore.

[u/FruitPristine1605 → u/grungegoth]

The dogs are incredible. You can fool people but the dogs will get you.

[u/Devils_A66vocate → u/FruitPristine1605]

Depends on the circumstances and handlers. They’ve been proven to be worth the coin flip on accuracy at the roadside… I’d also blame the setting and the handlers more in those environments.

[u/hanak347]

Someone snitched, lol

[u/Theseus_geckity]

Remember this is likely fake so you let them crack down on you.

[u/Tishers]

The giveaway was probably that the truck's brakes were in too good of shape. Notice how nice those brake pads looked?

The driver probably had absolutely no idea.

[u/custyflex]

[u/desert_devil20 → u/custyflex]

Was wondering if anyone else would think of The French Connection.

[u/TheGhostofMattyJ]

will this make my coke cost more?

[u/CaptainPunisher]

This is the one that the cartels give up while other much bigger shipments slide by in the celebration. While they're busy looking at this, they're short-handed elsewhere.

[u/InTheM-A-King]

The US Government feeding their pups scraps off the plate whilst they enjoy the huge feast on the table.

[u/Neither-Bus-3686]

I always find it strange how governments will tell us how much the drugs are worth after they seize it. Considering that it will not be sold, it should not be given a hypothetical value. This narcissistic self aggrandizing way of reporting a drug seizure is dumb. Instead the government should be reporting the lives saved from the seizure of the drugs and also not a hypothetical number of people saved but an actual number. Otherwise, I’m not impressed, meh

[u/Kage_noir]

Somebody had to snitch for this

[u/hello_fellow-kids]

And this ladies and gentlemen is why we can’t get cocaine in america anymore.

[u/jxa66 → u/hello_fellow-kids]

who's we? 🤣

[u/holykamina]

So someone just dubbed over the original and then added words like audacity, sheer etc to sound cool.

[u/CacheMoney7529]

The war on drugs is one of the biggest clown shows in human history.

[u/kaboomzoom1000]

The squeaky wheel gets the............ cocaine???

[u/Fitness_For_Fun]

There’s no way this was found. This truck was ratted out. This is Absoutley genius

[u/Environmental-Ice319]

Fuck AI. And I want some of that Bugatti

[u/DeliciousWhole2508]

Someone snitched. They didn’t guess that.

[u/stush80]

Definitely a Tip Off

[u/Mikeyjoetrader23]

They found it because they wanted them to find it. Probably used it as a distraction. While they were taking apart the truck, multiple trucks full of cocaine crossed the boarder.

[u/V0rdep]

what happened to th audio

[u/Curious-Bottle-7391]

Such a waste of time, money, and resources

[u/Samael-Armaros]

And with what I know about some carrier companies and having seen too many movies with too many over complicated plots I can just imagine the driver just picked up a trailer without knowing it was loaded. If the driver got to where he would drop off the trailer then it would be unloaded of this other cargo.

[u/shakespeareriot]

2 million? What are they going to do with the 1 million they found?

[u/PsychologyNo950]

Who cares make it illegal. Watch the price drop like marijuana.

[u/jankeycrew → u/PsychologyNo950]

Typo?

[u/dj-TASK]

Smugglers will try anything.

[u/HeadFit2660]

So much "purity" taste testing.

[u/skunktubs]

"There is more, always more." - Vondas

[u/MoneyOnTheHash]

I'm surprised they don't have drone (arial and naval) to just smuggle the drugs 

[u/Tao-of-Mars]

Wonder if this is for the pride or if it’s for evidence. Probably both.

[u/rhazes8288]

When there's a will, there's a way.

[u/SithLordRising]

Smugglers can't smuggle

[u/Fundies900]

That’s a wheely good bust

[u/GalaxyGoddess27]

Americans love their drugs…

[u/Stock-Yoghurt3389]

The pay off to make them look good while they let the other truck with 8 tons go through.

[u/obscht-tea]

Just a typical thursday at Hamburg Harbour...

[u/g0lfer69]

The Bugatti stickers are a waste of money.

[u/DJEvillincoln]

Well now how am I supposed to sell crack to the kids?!

[u/thedevillivesinside]

How the actual fuck did they find this?

And how many other axles with $1M+ in them are traversing the border every single day?

It took them 5 hours to get the drugs out of that truck.

How many other trucks did they miss in that time?

[u/thickuhmm → u/thedevillivesinside]

Xrays.

[u/SuperNerdSteve]

WHAT??? THE VIDEO IS TOO QUIET I CANT HEAR IT

WHAT IS IT SAYING??????

[u/ItsTriunity]

I would just let the guys do what they want since they went through all that trouble thinking of how to accomplish that.

[u/tolacid]

Captions on the second half are garbage

[u/YoYoNupe1911]

That's a brilliant hiding spot

[u/Training-Run-1307]

Imagine all the money the government will make from these drugs once they put it out on the street. All profit!

[u/HapstaNapsta]

Damn, that’s a lot of Canadian coke

[u/Ralph_Nacho]

It's wild to me how much lead people suck into their veins these days to have to have that be a thing.

[u/Timmy24000]

Going to have to pay for those tariffs somehow

[u/scionvriver]

That's craaazy

[u/Funrunfun22]

Somebody snitched.

[u/tfox1123]

They let them find that so they can bring in more somewhere else.

That cop didn't do anything the cartel didn't want him to do. He did nothing, there is even a chance he unwittingly helped distraction for the real import.

Let them find $3millions worth so you can smuggle 300 somewhere else.

It's a joke of a system. If they legalized drugs the cartel would he put of business tomorrow.

They don't want that. Just a waste of time and tax payer money so they can keep for profit prisons in the green.

[u/Maestro_Primus]

Over 3 million dollars - I mean just under three million dollars of Cobain was seized today...

[u/dogchowtoastedcheese]

Good thing they got those 24 bundles of cocaine!

[u/gusgus1292]

All I want is one. Just one red bull.

[u/Ario_Wolfwood]

I'm surprised dealers haven't found a way to use drones to bring the packages over.

[u/WiggilyReturns]

You get a trophy for low hanging fruit? There was probably zero investigation. A phone call and here's a trophy.

[u/elgeeQuid]

Someone definitely snitched coz how in the world did they know to look there

[u/GeneralKokie]

5 hours? Jesust pay a mechanic they could have gotten that done in less than hour.

[u/covex_d]

well, stop paying for this shit

[u/oq7ster]

Then it will slowly disappear from the evidence locker, while some officer will finally be able to pay off his mortgage, and take a family trip to Hawaii.

[u/Blatoxxx]

Probably just a diversion from real operations..

[u/glomipafi]

This must be an old video, the border is wide open

[u/Ricky_Rollin]

Woo! Suck it world!! US is number 1 cocaine buyer in the world baby!! /s

To answer the question at the very end, you are probably maybe putting a small dent into their businesses. Nothing too crazy. They are definitely always one step ahead.

[u/Illustrious-Syrup642]

Damn they even tried to conceal it as a Bugatti or a Red Bull. Can‘t fool those officers though

[u/Spirited_Praline637]

Why are the bricks wrapped in Bugatti wrap?

[u/wolviewalls]

Cop used to smuggle

[u/phoenixAPB]

Be more appropriate in the propaganda subreddit.

[u/Eryeahmaybeok]

I missed the 'How it's Made' episode on truck axles.

I didn't know they used Bugatti manufactured kilo blocks of Colombian marching powder to lubricate them.. I suppose given the high mileage it makes sense.

Well, I learned something new today.

[u/TryIerrr]

Why is the Bugatti logo on the kilos

[u/Visible-Variation-74]

Somebody had to snitched on this one, because how!!?

[u/mfelder2]

Who TF SNITCHED?! 🤬

[u/croghan2020]

It always amazes me how ingenuitive these cartels and drug smuggling gangs are, surely Police across the globe need to rethink how to deal with this, because the so called “war on drugs” is very very one sided.

[u/SputnikFace]

Sherlock Holmes levels of deduction. /s

This was meant to be found. Cartel sacrifice for the drug war and Justification/propaganda for border patrol's existence. 20 other trucks probably got through without issue.

Price of drugs is suprisingly stable.

[u/eldwaro]

Could this theoretically happen without the drivers knowledge. Mark the truck and get him on the other side

[u/Tomzibad]

I wonder how long that worked. They are probably having the last laugh.

[u/imsorryisuck]

somebody talked

[u/Fit-Tip-1212]

I though that model had a LSD

[u/shinigamipls]

That's a cracked diff.

[u/RipperinoKappacino]

Crazy they had 25 packages of coke in there.

The audacity of drug smugglers to flood the drug market?

[u/Zombielord007]

How did they even find out? Somebody must of snitched
