What would you do if you found a stowaway in your motorhome after a Chanel crossing?
One couple, found a stowaway, reported him to the police, but then subsequently were fined £1500 for negligence in checking their vehicle before undertaking the crossing home.
We might conclude that Border Force UK is trying to disincentives such reports; if the couple had let the stowaway abscond nothing would have happened.
its what's called a 'perverse incentive'!
@ChrisMayLA6 I read the story and thought, wow this is so arse about face. If I were ever in the position I’d probably offer them a hot meal and let them go on their way.
Indeed, as would many; it was the perverse incentive aspect I found intriguing.... its almost like Border Force wanted to encourage people to keep it quiet - which I might applaud but seems to be counter to their expressed policy
