What happens if you get caught with Fake Louis Vuitton in Frace?

Question

okay I read somewhere that in Frace if you are caught with fake Louis Vuitton they confiscate it, and possibly I dont remember if this part was true. They also throw you in jail ... Any thruth in this ???

Answer 1

LOL no they won't! Seriously, no. Only in some occassions at the airport if you brought in some fake items in a large number in your suitcase and they happened to random check you. They're only afraid that you're going to sell them.

A friend of mine bought lots of clothing in Turkey on vacation and they were fake, when he got back to France, they took the goods away but they didn't press charges because my friend "doesn't know" they're fake.

Answer 2

They probably would confiscate them if they were being imported for sale, but I don't think they have LOUIS VUITTON police checking every bag on the street... Although, if you just arrived via Asia, and had a few bags, customs might confiscate them....
if you need to buy fake you have other problems, like trying to portray yourself as wealthy when you are not!!

Answer 3

Not really sure where Frace is, but Im sure what you are saying is true.

Answer 4

i know where FRANCE is, not FRACE. and that, quite frankly, is really sad. come on .. you bought it with your own money, and so what if it`s fake ? at least it`s SOMETHiNG you use to carry your belongings right ? well .. i sure hope it`s not true. all that, over a brand name purse ? please ..

Answer 5

if you are talking about FRANCE, then, it is soo true, not only do you get thrown in jail but they make you eat croissants for the rest of you're life

Answer 6

They can't do that. It's your money and you bought it. Chances are you probably didn't know it was fake.

Truth is.... you'd probably get stoned to death :|
