OZschwitz slave pen: 'Life ruined' by Customs porn confiscation

A Melbourne man says his life has been ruined after Customs officers took his hard drive from him because it contained pornography.

Customs has recently started asking incoming travellers if they are carrying pornography in a bid to block illegal pornographic material entering the country.

Ross Mansfield had his hard drive confiscated a fortnight ago when he was coming home from a holiday in the Philippines.

"They said I had some suspicious material on there.

"I said 'I forgot to remove any porn because my friends in the Philippines, they download it, they're mutual friends'."

Mr Mansfield says despite the suspicious film was nothing more than standard porn.

"They (Customs) are violating my rights," he told AAP.

Despite defending the contents of the hard drive, Mr Mansfield admitted to not having seen the film and said "I don't know what it is".

Other movies included Adult Pretty Woman, Real Female Orgasm, Asian Babe Moans, My Friend's Hot Mum and Sexy Blond.

"They're all over 18.

"It's nothing underage."

The hard drive also contains about 5000 holiday photos and 30,000 songs.

Mr Mansfield threatened to sue Customs if any of the material was deleted.

"I've got my livelihood on there.

"I'm more worried about the fact that they try and wipe out what's on my hard drive.

"If they touch my stuff I would find a lawyer ... I would be after suing them."

Comment was sought from Customs.
