brand watches wiki – rolex watches, omega watches, replica watches

I recently purchased a “replica” watch from a retailer in China. Today, I notice that my package is being inspected by customs and it got me thinking:

Are there any restrictions that would not allow me to import 1 replica watch into Canada for personal use?

Thanks!

It is certainly illegal in the USA:

Most countries have laws to control the import of illegal goods, drugs etc.

BRISTOW, Va. – Police are trying to reconstruct what happened the night a suspected drunk driver slammed into a car with three nuns in Prince William County (web | news) .
Along Bristow Road today, Prince William County Police piece together the precise elements of a drunk driving disaster. Accident investigators are mapping out Sunday morning’s head-on crash that killed Sister Denise Mosier, and seriously injured Sisters Connie Ruth Lupton and Charlotte Lange.

A round-the-clock prayer vigil continues for those nuns who continue to fight for their lives in the Intensive Care Unit at Inova Fairfax Hospital.

“We’re really worried about the two who are still critical,” said Sister Cecilia Dwyer of the Benedictine Sisters of Virginia. “We have a group of sisters going every four hours to the hospital to be with our two who are there.”

The Benedictine Sisters website posts updates on the nuns that were hurt and on funeral arrangements for Sister Denise, now set for Friday morning.

And forgiveness is the theme here for 23-year-old Carlos Montano, the convicted drunk driver who may face murder charges in this case.

His family has gone to the convent to say they’re sorry for a young man, a father of two, who they say has struggled for years with a drinking problem.

“There’s no excuse, no way to cover it up, but i just don’t want my kids’ father taken away,” said Nancy Avalos, the accused’s girlfriend.

But as police build their case here against a man who was set to be deported, didn’t have a driver’s license, and was reportedly drunk at the time of the crash, those in the community say this tragedy was no accident.

WOODBRIDGE, Va. (CBS/WUSA/AP) An illegal immigrant facing possible deportation killed one nun and critically injured two others in a drunken driving accident in a Virginia suburb of Washington, D.C., say police.

Twenty-three-year-old Carlos Martinelly Montano is charged with drunken driving, involuntary manslaughter and felony driving on a revoked license after his car crossed a median Sunday morning and struck a car carrying three nuns, police say.

Sister Denise Mosier, 66, was pronounced dead at the scene; Sister Charlotte Lange and Sister Connie Ruth Lupton remain hospitalized and on respirators.

Montano’s arrest in the case has provoked angry words over the government’s handling of illegal immigration.
The young man originally from Bolivia has been arrested twice before and charged with drunk driving, and has other arrests for other traffic-related offenses, say police.

As a result of at least one of these offenses, Montano was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and was expected to be deported; however, the Department of Homeland Security released Montano in 2008 pending a review of his case.

Shortly before 7:00 p.m. on September 12, police in Teaneck, New Jersey, pulled over a woman on Queen Anne Road, who was driving erratically. The woman, Sofia Bautista-Aparicio, 24, was taken into custody after failing several field sobriety tests.

Sitting in the police cruiser, the Mexican national urinated on the seat, vomited and passed out. Because of her condition, police transported her to Holy Name Medical Center.

According to police, Bautista-Aparicio spoke no English and required an interpreter throughout the booking process.

While in custody, Bautista-Aparicio, who had no valid driver’s license, admitted to police that she had entered the country illegally.

Police contacted Immigration and Customs Enforcement to report the illegal alien. However, ICE refused to respond, as they do not consider her to be a serious threat.

Bautista-Aparicio was charged with DUI and simply released on a summons.

How soon ICE forgets BRISTOW, Va. —
The Prince William Board of County Supervisors has made a Freedom of Information Act request to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security about illegal immigrant Carlos Martinelly Montano.

The county is seeking copies of any and all reports “of the U.S Department of Homeland Security and/or the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division regarding the results of an investigation as to why Carlos Martinelly Montano, an illegal immigrant with two drunk driving convictions, went almost two years without a deportation hearing.”

The request also asked that the response “be expedited, if deemed appropriate, as this local government has an important interest and concern in informing its citizens and the public regarding this matter and the activities of the federal government in the instant case.”

A Prince William grand jury indicted Martinelly Montano in October on charges of involuntary manslaughter and a third offense of DWI in the Aug. 1 crash that killed Sister Denise Mosier, 66.

Police said Martinelly Montano, 23, crashed his car head-on into a car carrying three Benedictine sisters on Aug. 1. Mosier died from her injuries and the two other women, Charlotte Lange, 75, and Connie Ruth Lupton, 70, were seriously injured.

Martinelly Montano is set to stand trial in Prince William Circuit Court on March 28.

Is drunk driving once again considred a harmless crime from ICE refused to detain illegal alien arrested for DUI in New Jersey ?

Answer by MarcThyme
They were FOLLOWING THE LAW…..if you don’t like that, then work to change the law! It SOUNDS as though you would prefer they just “make up their own rules” (ones that appeal to YOU) and follow those instead!

Coming into the US illegally is a serious offense, but just being here is a simple misdemeanor, are you suggesting that anyone who rolls through a STOP sign should be deported?

It’s your ABSOLUTE right to “not approve” of current laws and to work to get them changed if you so wish, you YOU do not get to do that unilaterally (in spite of any impression you may have gotten from the last Administration)…

LEARN your country’s laws and understand why they are the way they are…..it’s a great shame it takes an immigrant to explain this to you!

I am wondering if purchasing a Counterfeit watch, like a fake Rolex, is illegal in the United States. If so, what are the fines/penalties for doing so? Does it matter by state, and where can I find out about my state?

Answer by Mel
I don’t believe it is illegal to purchase one. It may be illegal to sell one because of Rolex’s Patent infringements.

Is it illegal for me to knowingly purchase a fake Coach bag, Rolex watch, etc.? If I buy this stuff, and I’m talking just one or two things, can they be seized by Customs as suspicious? Can I be detained?

Answer by tess_g
counterfiet purses, luggage, clothes – illegal to sell,not illegal to buy. Software, music, etc.. – illegal to buy & sell. Of course these are the rules in the US. In other countries the laws are different and if customs decides to hassle you then there’s not much you can do.

buy rolex Question&Answer:

I am thinking of buying a Rolex datejust.Is it illegal?

Answer by demos_jones
Don’t know about the UK, but it’s not illegal in the US. Countefeit products are often sold in stores because the store didn’t know they were counterfeit. Of course, when it’s found out, the store usually loses the merchandise through confiscation, but that’s so they can’t sell any more of them. It’s still legal for people who’ve bought them to keep them. (They can’t re-sell them, though, knowing that they’re counterfeit.)

Question by LibertySoundRange: Are the Japanese following IWC’s rules? If so, why do people argue that whaling is illegal?
I know all the other arguments for and against whaling, so you don’t need to go on and on about them. I would just like an answer to my questions.

1. Are the Japanese following IWC’s rules?
2. If so, why do some people argue that whaling is illegal?

Thanks. Just those two questions. Yes.
(As a Japanese I’ve never eaten whales and I don’t plan to.)
