The New Fine For Tourists Introduced In New Zealand

The authorities of New Zealand have obliged travelers who
refuse to provide their phone for inspection to customs officers, to pay a fine
of $ 5,000 local dollars (about $ 3,200). According to the rules from begin of
October 2018, officials received the right to require visitors to unlock the
phone for inspection. In case of refusal, the gadget can be removed and even
confiscated, according to CNN. According to the authorities of New Zealand,
such an innovation is caused by necessity, since currently the prohibited
information is stored and transmitted, as a rule, in electronic form.
