@airportstrategy: After 2 million views on the luggage tag switching scheme the legal rights question kept coming up and nobody has answered it โ๏ธ๐ What to say and never say if customs detains you ๐ โโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐จ 1. SAY NOTHING UNTIL YOU REQUEST REPRESENTATION โธ Silence is your legal right and strongest opening move โธ Anything you say can establish your knowledge of what was inside โธ I did not pack that sounds innocent but opens a conversation you cannot have alone โโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ 2. FIRST WORDS OUT OF YOUR MOUTH โธ I am requesting consular assistance from my embassy โธ I am requesting legal representation before answering questions โธ I have documentation proving this bag was switched โโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ 3. SHOW DOCUMENTATION WITHOUT EXPLAINING IT โธ Hand over baggage stub, check in photo, and AirTag screenshot without narrating โธ The tag number mismatch between your receipt and the drug bag is self explanatory โธ Let documents speak and let legal counsel do the explaining โโโโโโโโโโโโ โ๏ธ 4. REQUEST CCTV FROM YOUR DEPARTURE AIRPORT โธ Baggage handling CCTV is the most powerful exonerating evidence that exists โธ Request through counsel immediately because footage deletes on rolling cycles โธ Most innocent travelers never make this request and it is the most likely to prove the switch โโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐๏ธ 5. WHAT YOUR EMBASSY CAN ACTUALLY DO โธ They attend your detention and ensure international standards are followed โธ They provide local lawyers and contact your family โธ Their presence changes how authorities handle your case โโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ซ 6. WHAT NEVER TO SAY โธ Never say I packed that bag myself as it establishes sole ownership of everything inside โธ Never say I do not know how that got in there as it implies the drugs are yours โธ Never sign anything without a lawyer regardless of how routine they say it is โโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ฑ 7. CLOUD STORAGE SAVES YOU WHEN YOUR PHONE IS SEIZED โธ Upload check in video, AirTag screenshot, and receipt to Google Drive before every flight โธ When your phone is seized your lawyer accesses evidence from any device โธ This turns seized files into legal evidence when you need it most โโโโโโโโโโโโ Post 7 of the luggage tag switching series. Start at part 1 ๐งณ๐. #airporttips #traveltok #travelsafety #travel #contentcreator
I would say yes I packed my bag but Iโm not responsible after I checked it in

They say to take a picture with your bag at the check-in counter as you load your bag on the conveyor. That way you have proof of what your bag looks like

Has anyone actually looked up what their legal rights are at customs before this series because I feel like most travelers have no idea that silence is legally protected in that room and it might be the most important thing on this entire list

Request can be denied. Your legal rights shouldn't beโdemand for them.

Stop this panic! There were 17 incidents with all flights originating in Canada. Just take a photo of your bag as soon as they put a tag on it. The tag should be clearly readable. Check-in counter agents are familiar with this problem.

Except there is no โmismatchโ between your stub and the baggage tag. Thatโs the point. Your tag, not your bag.

Good to know for EU citizens:
If you are in a country where your country does not have an embassy/consulate you can contact any other EU countries Embassy/Conulate for help and they do have to help you like their own citizens

Consular officers cannot provide legal assistance; they can only supply a list of local lawyers who have agreed to be on the list. They can and will demand access to you to check you are being treated no differently than anyone else in your situation. They can and will contact your family. Their presence can make a difference though, so please request the embassy or consulate be contacted.

that's not my bag, I have photos of my bag and a tag that's time-stamped when I dropped it off at the baggage check.

This depends entirely on the country. There are places where you get consular assistance but only after they get to processing your requests 3 months into detention in a horrible prison.
