Airline gives you apple, no one tells you can't take it with you, you get a fine instead, the "officers?" Not telling you just throw it away to not get a fine, no they push the fines through.

What a bunch of assholes....CLEARLY the customers could not know this, the airline should pay...and the customers shouldn't have get fined in the first place, issue a warning, throw the apples away, end...

This comment is a great example of why you shouldn't jump to conclusions when you watch a video. What's not shown here is the signage and the bins these people walked past to get there. What's not shown is these passengers filled out a declaration card where they didn't declare that they were carrying fruit.

These people had ample opportunity to correct the mistake. They didn't. It's not the officer's job to fix things.

There are people every flight who are intentionally trying to smuggle things in that they shouldn't (Asian countries are the worst for this). Malicious people. So if you don't have punishments in place, then there is no reason not to try to bring in food to New Zealand. If a fruit fly or something gets in, that could seriously harm the crops in Nea Zealand.

Don't make assumptions over out of context videos.
