BMW GS motorbike.What's a GS?
After the damage done by french dounes last year id made up my mind this time if any customs wanted to search my vehicle they would be taking me to a proper facility with an English speaking translator and i would be in the van with them.No it isn't.The requirement is you cannot export more than 10,000€ without a declaration.They can ask how much you have .Once. Once you have told them if they don't believe it ,it then becomes harassment.
they have no right to search wallets or bags without arresting you.
o some folk want those who are being paid good money to do the ****ing job properly & learn what the laws are.
Once they've asked & you have answered if they don't believe you ,then arrest you.
It is simple,put up or shut up.
No if it kicked off there'd be bodies about , before mine
i just hate jumped up ****ing jobsworth ****s. Especially foreign ones.
& another thing if I've got to put on paper overshoes no one is entering my vehicles without them,mask ,gloves , sanitiser, etc.
If someone actually asked me how much money I was carrying my first answer would always be" wtf has it got to do with you"? As they have no right to ask & nor is there any need for them to know.
If they ask "are you carrying in excess of the 10k" then that is an acceptable question.
German Shepard, just noticed lots of other people have already replied. I was busy cooking dinner. Apologies.What's a GS?

Oi, you can't come on here and state the bleedin' obviousThe trouble is coming back to the UK even after tests don't anybody realize they can still bring back the virus and it could, another variant , I find this irresponsible to go abroad in this Pandemic , a lot on here would love to go back to European countries, but we are protecting ourselves and others , and ,don't tell me you are careful, because who knows where the virus is .

You need to read what I wrote correctly before jumping on your soap box, I never said you have to declare anything under the limit but you do if it's over it or risk it being taken if they decide to do a search and find it, this is what I wrote to save you going back to re-read it:No it isn't.The requirement is you cannot export more than 10,000€ without a declaration.
Wrong, it IS his business to find out how much cash you have ... declaring it isn't a problem even if it's over the limit so long as it isn't nefarious but not answering truthfully when asked isn't - if they do a search and undeclared cash is discovered, you could be fined and if they are really snotty they may seize it too so that you have to prove where it came from.
If they suspect you haven't answered honestly they can continue searching etc as much as they like they are the ones who control border access and if they have a suspicion that you're telling porkies etc will likely do so, the biggest issue, which you appear happy to approve of is that someone purposely lied to the official!They can ask how much you have .Once. Once you have told them if they don't believe it ,it then becomes harassment.
they have no right to search wallets or bags without arresting you.
Not an attitude I'd suggest trying otherwise you'll probably need to start your own crowdfunding page to get people to contribute to your fine!If someone actually asked me how much money I was carrying my first answer would always be" wtf has it got to do with you"?

You can't 'lie' to someone asking questions they cannot legally ask.the biggest issue, which you appear happy to approve of is that someone purposely lied to the official!
Why not? I have always been the same and with the same attitude .Please and thank you to start with and we are off on the right foot. Start to get intimidating, abusive and there will only be one winner, me.Not an attitude I'd suggest trying otherwise you'll probably need to start your own crowdfunding page to get people to contribute to your fine!
Prey tell why it isn't legal for them to ask ...You can't 'lie' to someone asking questions they cannot legally ask.
I'm sure the border guards love you ... they are doing a job so why make it difficult just to try to prove a point that doesn't need proving? Its okay to criticise if they are being rude for the sake of it and only doing an odd check every hour but when they are doing them one after another in quick succession if an arrival is being 'pedantic' it doesn't help the situation for either, nor for other arrivals who are waiting to be checked.Why not? I have always been the same and with the same attitude .Please and thank you to start with and we are off on the right foot. Start to get intimidating, abusive and there will only be one winner, me.
To them it is just a job to me it would become personal.
Fine? I'd Never pay one.
Same as the rubber glove question, I've plenty in the van,just remember you'll be going home tonight???

Small delay at uk customs. They were checking everything thoroughly. Also uk customs were the only snotty, negative people we encountered in the whole return process, snidley asking why we were travelling in the middle of a pandemic. Whereas all other border crossings, vets and pharmacies were friendly and polite. Glad we left a day early though as it was very quiet so can't imagine how long the que would be on a busier day.Never had a problem myself in the past
But it was a Friday i crossed last week and had a 2 hour delay at uk customs
Helen Ariel crossed yesterday and never mentioned a delay
But the french customs i was through in 5 minutes
Isn’t that a valid question? Or was it the attitude?Small delay at uk customs. They were checking everything thoroughly. Also uk customs were the only snotty, negative people we encountered in the whole return process, snidley asking why we were travelling in the middle of a pandemic.de?

Not the reported way it was said but asking why you were travelling in the middle of a pandemic was a very legitimate question.you clearly haven’t been through passport control going into the States in a non pandemic period!Small delay at uk customs.

... be careful what you wish for!I'd love to be a border guard when those pompous Brits arrive
When they arrive with marigolds,torch a big tub of lube and say bend over
That’s when the damage gets done
With you doing the above lubricated check I think they'd need more than a stiff upper lip!They have a legal and moral duty to check for illegal immigrants, and much more.
The stiff upper lip British attitude is pathetic in these circumstances.
As i said it was the way it's said snide vs the friendly and nice people we met at other border crossings and if we were leaving i could understand but returning in a motorhome just before the Brexit deadline it's not as though people have a choice at the moment to travel back.I genuinely don't understand why you feel that was that a 'snide' question by 'snotty' staff as presumably they were acting under instructions and you had a valid exemption for travelling during the restrictions.
