So the police in Northern Ireland seized a load of illegal tobacco and cigarettes, and posted their findings on Facebook. One of their police officers was in the picture holding the seized goods. However, the comments below, to the police service of Northern Ireland, are priceless. I love the Northern Irish humour. Edit. You have to click the picture to see the replies. Here are some of the comments...  |

Wow, never thought smuggling cigarettes would be global crime. Bring in Interpol. I get nervous just buying on the internet and avoiding tax. He does look proud, though.

They will be divided up between them and enjoyed. Do you really think they’ll be destroyed......NOT. Might even be auctioned off. Much like in the States......lol.

OK, I guess they'll burn the contraband? They could sell it and make a positive ROI. Scary scenario either way.

How do you know you're buying contraband cigarettes, anyway? Do they have a label that says 'contraband', or 'smuggled in from France'?

My dad's baby brother wound up on the wrong end of the Kentucky cornbread mafia, guarding fields of a particular green, tall, smelly weed. (He was dead at 28). The sheriff's dpt made a huge bust, and drove away with all of the trunks of the squad cars full of marijuana. He was set up for "resisting arest", but barely excaped and was on the run until his death. You may trust me when I say the contraband was NOT destroyed, and charges were not brought. Against anyone. Funny how all that works.

Can’t fit much 💩 in a sneaker, what makes you think you can sell out of a boot....lmao!! I know, throughout Europe it’s called a car boot. Guess that’s proper English set by the Queen 👸 |

 My dearest friend in life was a State Trooper, number 2 in the Dept, then Chief of Police in our small town. Went to a party at his house and on the coffee table was confiscated drugs. His guests were partaking, waved to wife and we made a quick exit . Found out where the drugs went after the busts. No judgement on my part just saying.

Dramatwist funny you should say that. My dad and uncle said the same about Miami. Then again, I'm sure it was harder to find bad coke in Miami in the 80s! Some of those comments are hilarious. Just like the image in my head when I imagined buying cigarettes out of a "boot"

Yeah, Miami was/is notorious for the city cops selling the confiscated coke...I remember a couple of years that coke was so prevalent that if you got caught with 2 kilos you got a slap on the head and told..."Don't do it again". They had problems with pallets of coke...as in tons...2 kilos was a dinner date.

Funny how all that works. Kentuckians have contributed millions to Ohio, Indiana and Illinois gambling riverboats to support their state coffers. Mary Jane is our best cash crop. Maybe someday we'll wake up and smell the coffee here but I'm not making any plans. |

Not only do they call a trunk the boot, the hood is called the bonnet and the windshield is called a windscreen. Conversely, our American terms sound as odd to them, I suppose.

A windscreen? What the? Screens have holes for crying out loud!
