  We all know its a crime to sell replicias or so call fake LV Bags, Gucci Bags etc.
  
  How about the buyer?
  
  If we buy fake LV Bags etc and we got caught by the police, will we be chaged by the police?
  
  Let say 1 day you are walking on the streets carrying a fake LV Bag and you happen to walk past a few police officers who are conducting random spot checks.
  
  1 of the police officer could be a expert and see that the LV Bag is fake.
  
  Can he arrest and charge you in court for buying pirated goods?

  buying means supporting them to carry on the business (providing demand)
  
  and the other is knowing those are not authentic but no report

  Heard, if go to European Union countries, customs will confiscate fake products as soon as they spot it. Don't know if there is penalty for possession.
