Lloyd Dupont Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 ... The investigators were suddenly arrested for a most heinous crime! They had smuggled Kinder Surprise Chocolate egg in the country! This shall not be tolerated! How to shock and horror your players, hahaha.... Sorry, just watched a video on how kinder surprise are illegal in America and thought such antic would be a fun and infuriating way for a corrupt cop to imprison investigators! 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A family friend of ours (travelling by train) was detained at the border of <unnamed nation> for "pornography" (it was a normal newsstand fashion mag, such as Vogue or Elle, that they used to pass the time as they travelled). 1 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qizilbashwoman Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) chewing gum was illegal to import, sell or chew in Singapore from 1992-2003 with Statute Chapter 57, the Control of Manufacture Act (you can now import therapeutic gums), and I had some and was chewing it when I entered customs, having come from Aceh Province, Indonesia by plane and been smoking and thus had foul breath. for some reason Singapore's notoriously ferocious bureaucrats were having a good day and simply warned me to dispose of my gum instead of detaining me and refusing me entry. my luck was really good. I think they figured any white person coming from Aceh wasn't a jackass, because there are no white people in Aceh.
