5 Stupid Reasons Why Tourists Get Arrested

It is not just bad guys that get arrested, every day tourists and travelers run afoul of the law on a number of occasions. Here we give you a list of our five most common reasons why tourists have gotten arrested. This is not a scientific list, this is more from what we have seen throughout our travels to Europe, Asia and the Americas.

Copyright Mark Wolters 2017
1. Alcohol Related Arrests: whether it is drunk driving, public intoxication or getting into a fight while drunk, alcohol has played the part in a number of tourists and travelers run ins with the law.
2. Drug related arrests: just because you are on vacation doesn't mean the cops will look the other way and that holds true for drug use as well. Many travelers have ended up serving time in jail for drug offenses abroad.
3. Not knowing the laws of the land: ignorance is not an excuse not to know the law, at least that is what the cops will tell you abroad. Make sure you know of any laws that may affect you while you travel.
4. Trespassing: you may want to get the world's best selfie, but if you are doing onto private land or going off of the official path at national parks you may be trespassing and that can lead to a severe fine or worse.
5. Religious or Governmental misunderstandings: just because in your country you may have the right to protest against various things, that does not mean you may be able to protest in other countries the same way and speaking ill of the government or the official religion in some countries can get you in trouble with the law.

    I used to work in a tourist/resort town (U.S.), and your #1 reason here is SO RIGHT!!! Not only would people come down and get absolutely stinking drunk, but they would act like they had a right to act like fools, because they were on vacation! They would bring an attitude with them. What amazed me was how they seemed to want to see just how drunk (or stoned) they could get before passing out and/or puking. They would wake up sick, but then 6-8 hours later start the cycle again. Sorry, but I fail to see how that is fun.

    SO right! Same people, while drunk, were usually guilty of one or more of these offenses: vandalism, theft, fighting, disturbing the peace. Theft was often minor, like walking out on checks in restaurants or bars, but still.

Google maps was fined a huge amount of money because they filmed people in cars and their license plates without blocking it out.

    My scariest experience was being at a small airport in Brazil at the border of Colombia, Peru and Brazil. I was already extremely sick and hadn't slept the night before, and I had a lot of things in my bag, having recently had a surgery in the States. I always travel with WetOnes, so they were in my bag as well. Apparently, the police officer -- a federal police officer was doing security at the small airport -- did a chemical test on my antibacterial WetOnes and claimed they were testing positive for cocaine. Luckily, I was still able to make my flight, and he didn't even make me sign the document stating he was confiscating them to send to a laboratory in Manaus, but it was still horrifying. I had to take everything out of my bag and explain myself in Spanish, as I don't speak Portuguese. Nobody wants to be accused of cocaine anything in Brazil.

    Remember: If you are arrested in a foreign country you have the RIGHT to contact your embassy/consulate. If you are going to a foreign country, make sure to check with your Foreign Ministry (or State Department in the US) for various travel notices. Keep in mind if you are traveling to a country with no official diplomatic relations with your home country that other consulates and/or embassies may provide you services (such as representation when arrested) just like the embassy representing your home country might., this is called a protecting power A good example of this is Americans visiting North Korea, as the US has no official diplomatic relations with the DPRK, there is no US Embassy or consulate, however, the Swedish Embassy in Pyongyang is the US Protecting power. US citizens in the DPRK requiring consular assistance should contact the Swedish Embassy. Regardless of where you are going, and/or the diplomatic representation available, it is smart to register your trip with the closest embassy/consulate (and the embassy/consulate of the protecting power is applicable).

    One of the legal issues you completely missed for tourists is photography. Places like United Arab Emirates will not allow foreigners to photograph buildings or people as an example. Other countries that appear laid back have strict laws about photography inside museums, government installations or religious establishments. Using tripods/monopods in most places is a big no no. If in doubt about a museum or other place, ask before whipping out your camera or other gear. In some countries your camera will be confiscated and you may face fines or jail.

    One thing about religion is that a lot of tourists are disrespectful inside churches or temples. They often have a dress code, and shorts or skimpy clothing are not allowed. Many places do not permit photography during services, and many have sacred areas where tourists should not walk. Also, keep silent! That's respectful in any religion.

You also can't also express your sexual preferences in public, because it's a propaganda of sexual activity among kids. You will be jailed for that. That's they way of american propaganda machine is faking LGBT oppression in Russia. They simply puts themselves above the Russian law and insisting on priority.

    I go to Amsterdam regularly, and I've smoked in front of armed cops who did not care and all they asked was to step to the side to smoke and not be anti-social. I've had five heavy armed firearms walk past me, and regular armed cops as well who have smiled and even nodded to me that has included male and female officers. The reason is simple, I am not being a dickhead. I am smoking a harmless joint, then popping into KFC to have a meal and relax. Do not go to Amsterdam or Holland with the intention of over-drinking, over-smoking weed and simply being a prick in their country.. I don't drink when I visit, I go to Coffeeshops and relax, follow the rules and enjoy the city and what our only harmless vice of Cannabis is. Honestly these videos are great,, I would love to travel as much as you have to at least say I've seen a lot of this world. I think most of the problems arise for tourists if they go abroad ignorant, arrogant and over abuse alcohol or Cannabis in Holland. I've seen Friday and Saturday nights here in the UK, and there are some nasty people who want to drink until they are drunk and kick someone to death. It's everywhere really, just best to avoid it abroad and on holiday. Keep up the videos man, good to enjoy travelling.

    One thing you forgot to mention about alcohol: A lesser drinking age doesn't mean no drinking age at all. For example, 18 in Mexico as opposed to 21 in the USA. Let's say you're a group of 18-20 Americans going to Mexico to drink; you better not have a 17-year-old with you!

    Club Fed is a description given to US FEDERAL prison farms that non-violent low-risk convicted prisoners are sent to. There is no guarantee that if you are convicted of a drug offense in the US that you will be sent there. Many STATE prisons in the US would be far more draconian than many European prisons especially in terms of inmate safety.

    About drinking in Europe... never binge drink!! In here, you don't drink 4-5 beers in an hour just so you can feel the alcohol and go around being drunk. If you are going to drink, you drink slowly, over a long period of time. Downing 3 beers in a row is considered stupid (and a waste of time and money), while drinking 6 or more over the course of 4-5 hours is just fine. And yes, you go out from 8 or 9 PM to 3 or 4 AM. It's called a night out for a reason.

    Another warning to mention to travelers is photography. Many nations have laws forbidding photography near locations that are deemed a security risk. Such locations include border crossings, airports, train stations, subway stations, foreign embassies, government buildings, military bases. Some locations have signs clearly posted to inform the public that photography is forbidden, but many do not.

    At my sister's college, they used to have a flagship program in Russia, until a certain incident. The students went out for drinks, and one guy saw a girl he liked and started basically badmouthing Russian government like he was trying to show off how much he knew. Turns out the girl was secret police, and he almost got arrested. They don't go to Russia anymore! Kinda number 1 (alcohol) and number 5 (badmouthing) combined.
