They show the Canada border control show here too. I quite like it. They also show the Australian one, the UK one, the Ireland one, and the US one. I've watched a few of each to compare how the border control officers act. Very interesting.I am just really astonished that it's shown that widely! I wouldn't have been surprised if you had a version of your own, but it's somewhat mindblowing that our little procedures are so interesting.
And sometimes an episode shows you stuff that you hadn't even thought of: in the middle of COVID, when it seemed every port in the world was jammed up, they showed Customs agents checking shipping containers on a ship.
I figured this was matching the Customs documents against the actual cargo, a fairly quick process, all in all.
Turns out they open every container, walk around inside and look for other stuff as well: one had the right merchandise, all on pallet-boards. There appeared to be sawdust on the floor of the container. The Customs person explained that the 'sawdust' was actually 'frass', the droppings of insects, in this case little beetles that were living n the wood of the pallet boards. (This is how the invasive borer pine-beetle first got a foot-hold in BC.)
The whole shipment was re-sealed, and told to go back where it came from until it was decontaminated and cleared for cleanliness.
No more beetles for us! Instead, murder hornets crept in - but at least we keep trying.
They also show cop reality shows from all of the above countries (and New Zealand). The New Zealand one is the best. There's a bridge (can't remember which city it's in) where drivers keep running out of petrol halfway across, and the cops bring them some and them fine them for forgetting to fill their own tank Once a goat escaped on the motorway and outwitted a cop for a good half hour. I think these episodes are pretty old though.
