Another victory in the war on P. May there be many more victories like this!

Bit like saying if anyones going to get a completely skewed view of motorcycling its Triumph riders (and of course Harley riders) blah blah blah Jesus H,maybe your right.

Nope, its nothing like saying that. Triumph riders don't have a different experience then anyone else, unlike cops who experience the worst of society on a daily basis, and it affects them all.

Course it affects them but you presume its in a bad way.Why without knowing would you presume to know how it affects them as individuals let alone use the "all" word?

What on earth has the War on P got to do with what cops and prison officers see on a day to day basis? Or do the Slacktivists amongst us think that society's problems are caused by elected politicians and paid lawkeepers?

What? apart from the fact you contradict yourself and by doing so agree with my point, I have no idea what else your saying...

Interesting that no one picked up on the fact that if it weren't for 2 blokes acting a bit dodgey then 8 others would have walked straight on through

Only thing this article makes me think about is just how much is walking straight on in without being detected.

On the telly the customs people said the occupations of the smugglers were part of what gave them away. They didn't see how people in the declared occupations could afford the package holiday to NZ. I think it was after this that they started to act dodgey.

Yeah its a fucked up world and we all have our own perspective.
Take everything you read about illegal drugs, and replace it with the words "illegal speeding".
And before you say "Its not the same" - your right - speeding kills far more people per year than drug overdose.
I am anti-drugs. But thankfully many to take drugs too far, meet Darwin. So making it illegal simply extends their worthless lives. Whats the point?

We should all be allowed to make our own uneducated decisions. And be punished only if our decisions affect other aspects of the law which are already written. E.g. theft, assault etc. Also giving the police the right to shoot/tazer people whom are on drugs or drunk could assist things a bit.

They should be educated decisions, uneducated would have us still believing an eclipse is the gods anger
You should have the right to do what you like as long as it doesn't affect someone else right to do what they like, you can get drunk but once you start annoying others then you have crossed the line.

"The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this."

Unfortunately laws are not made for the educated. Hence my comment about being allowed to do things using uneducated decisions. There would probably be no laws if everyone made educated decisions - only principals.

And should be tazered. clear, simple and effective.

The old supply and demand principle, eh? This haul will no doubt push up the price further.

The question is "will it"? This stuff is ready to use, but our gangs control the production & distribution in NZ.
I wonder if a tip-off from a gang alerted customs to this lot.

Guess from a coppers point of view a fair reason to have easy access to a gun.

American evidence goes toward a standard service sidearm being "less than adequate" when dealing with a vilolent person high on methamphetamine. Reports of having to shoot an offender with up to 19 rounds are out there.

Depends on where you shoot the fucker I guess. High or not...I reckon one right between the eyes would stop him/her dead. 'Cuse the pun.
