Damn, I can't believe my country would be involved in that sort of stuff. And that lawyer is such a dick. The prisoner said "I would not betray Indonesia" when he's asked to spy and put a stop to the crime. As if he thinks Indonesia approves the smuggling business. It's bloody troubling, that is. It's highly political and intelligence-related. When there's no law about a crime. You'd think those assholes in the parliament would stop sleeping during assembly and actually work to making those laws

@yellowman88 FROM WIKIPEDIA: PEOPLE SMUGGLING: A form of human trafficking, people smuggling is characterized by the consent between customer and smuggler - a contractual agreement that typically terminates upon arrival in the destination location. SAYS ITS HUMAN TRAFFICKING. STOP BEING AN ARROGANT TROLL.

@yellowman88 go fuck yourself

[yellowman88]

@Tripo1iSamson Also, human trafficking usually assumes the victims are woman or children. Smuggling is thought to be men. Stop being an arrogant troll.

[yellowman88]

@Tripo1iSamson your an idiot... People smuggling and Human trafficking are different. Human trafficking is the broadest term for these type of crimes. google it and learn something new. The main difference is people smuggling is consensual between customer and smuggler. Human trafficking is not. Human traffickers continually exploit there victim. Smugglers do not. Smugglers profit off of the scam while human traffickers basically enslave the victim.

[Tripo1iSamson]

"People smuggler," Journeyman? Human trafficker is the more accurate and less politically-correct term, so let's use human trafficker.

[Tripo1iSamson]

@yellowman88 It's called human trafficking, and despite the one instance in this video, there are no nice human traffickers. Be real, please.
