My trip to TJ

[GettingLean]

I'm suprised they didnt take you to jail?? I thought they throw you in the can until your seen by a judge?? Will you get supervised probation? GEEZ.....where i come from, if i got caught with that much gear, i'd end up w/ $5000 in fines, community service and supervised probation..i.e.-- seeing a probation officer once a month for 2-3 years. The $12,000 DOES suck honey, but things COULD BE WORSE remember.

- jk bro.. that really sucks, but you were dumb to walk the border with that much shit on you!!! did you really expect to get through with 2500$ of gear and thats fucking TJ prices which are dirt cheap.... well that really screws all of your own cycle money over... that sucks and thats why i will stick to domestic, who cares if i pay5$ more a amp of test, at least i dont have 12,000$ fines.... - well thats my .02$

think harder next time before you pull stupid shit off like that, now your screwed.................................

Your sense of humor really sucks padycake.

Bigpimp, did you happen to set off the metal detectors with all that juice (I have never heard of that happening), or were you just randomly patted down? I feel for you man, as I have crossed there many times but still I have never seen anyone get searched.

i walked back, i had all the gear taped to my body, alot of shit
i spent about 2,500 dollars worth

Well, look at the bright side - at least you didn't fall down with all that stuff taped to your body. You would have made the National Enquirer as "Man gets 3,000 stitches from glass cuts, then dies from steroid overdose."

On a serious note, I'm really sorry to hear that. That is a BIG chunck of money for something as harmless as steroids. At the same moment you got busted, there was probably a Ryder truck with 1000 pounds of coke getting passed through from a payoff to the fuckin' border monkeys.

I live in USA but also have a home in Peru, South America. My buddies think I'm crazy that I don't bring the stuff back with me, but it just isn't worth it. I either do a whole cycle there (if I'm there for a couple months), or mail the stuff back. And I am so paranoid that I don't even send it to my address, only to my ex-girlfriend's house or my buddy who also needs gear. Same for when I was working in Mexico. When I calculate the risk of getting caught red-handed, it just isn't worth it. Federal crime ain't my bag. If you mail it, maybe one out of 20 packages will get seized, but they can never really pin you to it. DON"T SMUGGLE ACROSS BORDERS, GUYS. IT ISN'T WORTH IT! Leave that to the big-timers paying off the border monkeys. The drug trade is HUGE, and don't think for a minute that the big guys aren't protected by some high U.S. government circle. They feed that shit to the public that they have a war on drugs, but it is a huge business for everyone including the hypocrites that claim to be against it. Just think of the business generated for arms and aircraft that we give to South American countries to fight the "drug war". The past agreement with Colombia was for $5 FUCKING BILLION DOLLARS! That's a lot of guns, boys. What a fucking joke. I live there - I know! I wish the hypocrites in the U.S. government involved in this would fall down like a deck of cards, and we could have a massive clean-up. People are finally smelling their stink. It's just a shame the little guys, like this guy who just wants personal athletic gains, to get the shaft. Makes me fucking sick.

no....i didnt set anything off, they just told me that they could tell that i used steroids or some bullshit line like that......
the funny thing was......mike perez, the agent who busted me told me that he used steroids in college and we started talking about the mentzer bros and arnold and how steroids affected their lives.....he even said that steroids were good for ya if taken within reason.....but i still got busted....WTF

Because of the AMOUNT Bro.

Look, if you had broughht several vials - personal use, then I doubt you would have gotten anywher near the hassle.

But oif you bring THAT much gear, its obvious that its not all just for you. This gets into trafficking, etc ...... not good.

That's also why they probably grabbed the cash. If you have THAT much gear, then the cash is a part of the whole "trafficking" situtaion ......

Its like if they bust a cocaine dealer and he is driving a nice car and has like 10k in cash on him, the car and the cash get confiscated.

Your best bet will probably be to plead down to a fine or whatever would be appopriate for you if you were caught wuth a "personal use" amount.



The tips that one guy mentioned about camoflauge (sp?) are good. The Pharm should NEVER see your car (if driving) and should never see you in the the same clothes that you will walk across with.

 

[Swoleyoley]

im no expert but wouldnt you have a better chance driving? I don't know how things werk aound border towns like SD but I would imagine gear would be easy to get around there.

Man, those people make pennies for a living. They will do anything to get a little more, because, in their eyes, you are a rich punk from the U.S. that has plenty of cash, if you can blow that much on roids - "Robin Hood" mentality.
