POLICE will have the power to carry out random drug searches on public transport passengers from this weekend, NSW Attorney-General Bob Debus said.
The new regulations will allow police with sniffer dogs to carry out random drug searches on suspects using trains, light rail or buses and prescribed public transport routes.
The search powers will also extend to train stations, platforms and any other stopping places, Mr Debus said.
Mr Debus said the powers were part of sweeping changes allowing police using sniffer dogs to randomly search patrons at pubs, clubs and other entertainment venues including sporting events, concerts, dance parties and parades.
"The laws first came into effect on February 22, 2002," he said.
"Until now, police have been able to search areas not covered in the legislation by obtaining warrants in the usual way under section eight of the acts."
Well, watch out your people in NSW on public transport..
