Glad it wasn't you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arrested-in-another-country#post-813689 Tue, 28 May 2013 15:19:37 +0000 mrs. 64 813689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't worry about it. DH used to watch that show "Locked Up Abroad" and the basic jist of it was don't carry anything for anyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arrested-in-another-country#post-813126 Tue, 28 May 2013 12:24:25 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 813126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: hmm, I think I may like the tv show too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arrested-in-another-country#post-812587 Tue, 28 May 2013 09:49:05 +0000 cascademom 812587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I just have to say that Brokedown Palace is one of my favorite movies. </p> <p>There's a tv show "Locked Up Abroad" about US citizens who get arrested and jailed in foreign countries. It's pretty fascinating and scary at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arrested-in-another-country#post-812559 Tue, 28 May 2013 09:41:12 +0000 mamimami 812559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in Mexico and would not want to be arrested! BUT I don't really worry about it. If you obey the laws and stay smart I think odds are in your favor. But it does happen. I think things like this happen a lot in the U.S. too, to foreign visitors, but it's not such a great story so it doesn't make headlines.</p> <p>It's funny, I worry more about getting in trouble in the States. If I accidentally don't let a pedestrian have the right of way, or start to drive across the crosswalk before the person has both feet on the far curb... these are things I'm not used to doing anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arrested-in-another-country#post-812207 Tue, 28 May 2013 07:44:20 +0000 tequiero21 812207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm worried about random people planting drugs to smuggle home w. I think I watch too many movies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arrested-in-another-country#post-812188 Tue, 28 May 2013 07:31:46 +0000 MrsSCB 812188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't worried that much in the past because I feel like I'm very safe and sensible when I'm in other countries. The hikers arrested in Iran, for example, were not acting very safely IMO, given the area they were traveling in. However, this story you posted is pretty scary! It just seems so random, like she wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary and then this happens. I can't imagine how terrifying this is for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arrested-in-another-country#post-812181 Tue, 28 May 2013 07:25:46 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 812181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: oh my! Speeding :/ That's scary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arrested-in-another-country#post-812120 Tue, 28 May 2013 06:45:49 +0000 Mrs D 812120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My grandparents were arrested in Mexico a few years ago (at probably 60-65 years old) they were held in a terrifying cell for more than a day for "speeding". It was totally bogus I am assuming because my grandpa was the most deligent and by the book driver I have ever known.</p> <p>Creepy. I worry about this when I travel for personal trips... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arrested-in-another-country#post-812103 Tue, 28 May 2013 06:31:31 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 812103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/28/justice/mexico-american-arrest/index.html?c=homepage-t" rel="nofollow">http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/28/justice/mexico-american-arrest/index.html?c=homepage-t</a></p> <p>When you hear stories about people vacationing in other countries and then getting arrested or jailed does it worry you? </p> <p>I would say jail is a fear especially one in a different country. Remembrr the hikers in Iran or the Claire Danes Spring Break movie? </p>
