You are more likely to get searched for "illegal Apples" than for drugs or have your laptop searched. (NZ doesn't have as much of a problem with imported drugs as the US)

The ministry of primary industries (MPI) will ask you and if necessary search you for fruit and meat products that could bring in foreign diseases. (Yes really - I'm telling the truth) They have fruit sniffing dogs.


I have no-fruit to hide Smiley. That is true in most economic areas, but particularly in "islands" such as New Zealand and Australia. There are quite a few limitations on fresh meat, fish...


Not to mention a ridiculous amount of it´s total population in prison. Roughly 1%, that is more than 2 million people. Not to mention another staggering 4 million in probation.
