Cruise ship passengers can be exposed to legal systems that don't provide the same protections they would find in the US.

When a cruise ship docks at a port, its passengers are subject to the laws of the country in which the port is located. This can lead to warrantless searches from local police, the most common of which involve marijuana possession, lawyer Jim Walker told Business Insider. If the local officials find even a small amount of marijuana, the passenger may face an ultimatum: pay a fine or spend time in jail. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
