Mike H @RT98682006 Aug 19 Its hilarious how they think people wont notice how they NEVER seem to destroy any drugs while cutting into cars or air tanks. Especially one episode where the officer cuts the exact size of a cocaine brick to the exact millimeter...Cant help but to laugh a lot during these intense moments See more Richard M @RT52143027 04/08/2024 So I'm watching this show for the first time, I live in texas, I've been across the border several times. I have seen no less than three fake bus on this show and two setups. Ask yourself to common Sense question, what cartel is going to write a dollar amount on money bags that they are smuggling in to the US or across the border? Why is it that every single time they stop a truck driver it's always and I quote a driver well-known to agents? Why is it never just some random person driving a diesel but they've never seen which is the ones they should be stopping and searching? All in all I write this a 1 because it seems to fake.
