So there's been a modern travel myth spouting up lately. The idea being, you go to a foreign nation, the police see that you're American and have you open your trunk. They then load a bunch of cocaine or some other illegal drug into your trunk, take pictures, arrest you for it, judge obviously sides with the police, and then you get sentenced.

It this true? Y/N

uh, why would they do that? i mean, what's to gain for it? unless they demand a bribe to get you off or something, it seems pointless.

Y, but more or less limited to Russia and South East Asia, and doesn't happen only to Americans.

>unless they demand a bribe to get you off or something, it seems pointless.

Mainly they do it for police quota reasons so they don't have to arrest real traffickers, who will always pay much better bribes than tourists.

Yeah it happens, I've seen it, but they want a bribe, not to put you in jail. I saw it happen in Rio, a kid dropped some dope on a window ledge right next to a guy then the cops came and arrested him. It probably won't happen if you're aware, and avoid certain very dodgy border crossings.

They're not going to target anyone just because they're American though, Jesus, relax.

You watch too much Midnight Expr- wait, that didn't happen even in there. Relax, just try not to cross the police where you go and you'll be fine.

and even the stuff in midnight express was admitted to be exaggerated

nothing will happen to you when traveling if you aren't trafficking drugs

unless you go to UAE, that is - even if you have trace amount of drugs somehow left over your clothes, you're raepd.

So, you people are saying something like this can't happen?

Of course it *can*, but the risk is about the same as dying from a flower pot falling on your head while walking down the street.

American police occasionally do that to their own citizens. Never mind travel.
