The man who filmed the video checked into Calais on his Facebook account on Wednesday and Channel 4 reports claim the buildings in the background are confirmed to be inside the port of Calais . Hiding in the backs of trucks has long been one of the most common ways for illegal immigrants to sneak into the UK via Calais ferry port - while thousands live in camps built around the town . Drivers can be fined up to £2,000 for every stowaway found on their vehicle and the responsibility falls on them to prove they did everything possible to prevent such an incident . In January , a Human Rights Watch report said immigrants living there experienced regular harassment and abuse at the hands of French police . Illegal immigrants living a make-shift existence on the outskirts of town reported being beaten and attacked with pepper spray as they tried to hide in trucks to escape to the UK . Several thousand , most from Sudan , Eritrea , and Ethiopia , are living either in the camps or sleeping rough on the streets of Calais .

Punished : Truck drivers can be fined up to £2,000 for every illegal immigrant caught hiding in their trucks and the responsibility falls on the them to prove they tried to prevent carrying stowaways . Record numbers of illegal immigrants are being stopped at UK borders , it was revealed in February . Senior officials said 36,000 unlawful stowaways had been discovered since last April . Sir Charles Montgomery , the director general of the Border Force , said 30,000 were found by British officers at Calais , while 6,000 were detained on UK soil . In 2013-14 , the number caught was half that , at 18,000 , he said , but campaigners said the number who actually reached Britain was likely to be far higher , possibly in the hundreds of thousands .
