I am confused. Nicki said they took her bags without consent. I have never heard of border security needing consent to open your bags at their airport.
Laws:
Transporting soft drugs - fine and prison 2 years max
Exporting soft drugs - fine and prison 4 years max
Prison time depends on if judge thinks it is drugs for own use or to sell.
Nicki should have hired Julius instead, that security guard really got her in trouble..when you travel to a country don't assume it's legal, without any restrictions.
