I know, I know....
I know a few 19-21 y/o's who get into moving pills, speed etc.
I guess I just didn't expect people who were fully underage to.
Naive of me, I guess.
fuck me dead.
16 & 17 y/o's getting arrested now??!?
jesus christ almighty.
like you'd know the first thing about being inconspicuous at that age!! i am deeply troubled by this... though the issue remains: wtf are people that age doing with 400 PILLS.
their parents are gonna kick their arses. only slight hopeful is that they won't go to lockup being underage & all...
If he's from QLD then he's going to get time I know that much for sure, I saw a 17yr get 8 weeks because he was smashing street lights with a sling shot so do you reckon the 17yr with 400 pills is going to get away scott free??? Personally I don't think he will, the only luck I think he's going to get is a shortened or suspended sentence and they won't send him to the maximum security they'll probably just send him to Wacol or something common because he's so young...

Man 'caught with drugs' fights charge

A Russell Vale resident has denied allegations he is a drug dealer despite police finding a large amount of methylamphetamine and drug-related items in his home.
Mirko Radosavac pleaded not guilty in Wollongong District Court yesterday to supplying prohibited drugs.
Police had been conducting surveillance near Radosavac's Keerong Ave home after receiving intelligence that he was a street-level supplier of methylamphetamine, facts tendered said.
Police stopped Radosavac after allegedly seeing him receive money from a woman in a Bellambi Lane car park on October 14, 2008.
They allegedly found $1580 cash in his wallet and jacket pocket and asked to search his home.
When police entered Radosavac's home, he allegedly rushed to the kitchen and put his jumper over a plastic bag containing methylamphetamine.
Radosavac had told police a man had left the drugs at his house earlier that day, the facts said.
Police claim two mobile phones used by Radosavac but registered in a different name was evidence he was involved in drug supply.
Radosavac will next appear in court on August 17.
Backyard' drug dealer behind bars
26.5.09
A Hobart man who trafficked ecstasy and cannabis has been jailed for nine months.
Police found drugs worth up to $30,000 at Richard John Courtney's Lutana home last July.
The Criminal Court in Hobart heard 40-year-old Richard Courtney used ecstasy and cannabis and also sold the drugs to friends.
He has pleaded guilty to trafficking both drugs.
Courtney's partner, Rose-Anne Dunbabin received a one-month suspended jail term for her role in trafficking cannabis.
The court heard police found 657 ecstasy tablets in a cooler bag and cannabis hidden in a roll of carpet in the couple's home last July.
The couple's lawyer said the drug venture was in no way a large commercial operation, rather a backyard operation.
She told the court both defendants had no relevant prior convictions.

THE police anti-gangland taskforce have conducted major drug raids across Melbourne this morning, including one in Melbourne's CBD.
Purana detectives, whose main role is to investigate organized crime, led the raids from the inner-north to the western suburbs.
Authorities are still searching several properties in connection with the raids, with a significant haul of drugs being taken away late this morning.
Seven people are being questioned by police following the operation.
Is Detective Sphincter gonna raid them?
A VETERAN police officer was charged today as Purana taskforce detectives dismantled a high-level drug syndicate.
The middle-aged acting senior sergeant from a Melbourne metropolitan station has been charged by the Ethical Standards Department with three serious offences.
The counts are perverting the course of justice, misconduct and disclosing confidential information.
The senior sergeant is alleged to have had connections with some of the people embroiled in the drug investigation by Purana.
Earlier today, the police anti-gangland taskforce conducted drug raids across Melbourne and arrested seven people on charges of drug trafficking.
Task force detectives arrested seven people after raids on homes and businesses in the CBD, Brunswick, Newport and Sunshine.
The Purana taskforce's main role is to investigate organised crime.
Police today described the series of arrests as a “blow to organised crime”, amid an operation targeting drug trafficking in the northern suburbs.
As well as taskforce members, officers from the criminal proceeds squad, drug taskforce and dog squad, were involved in the raids, which netted “a large quantity” of drugs and cash.
Police said the arrests followed an eight-month investigation into an alleged criminal network.
Those arrested, other than the officer, include six men and a woman.
These include three Brunswick men aged 19, 44 and 67; a 44-year-old Rowville man, two Yarraville men, aged 36; and a Newport woman, aged 47.
The group are all expected to face charges of trafficking a drug of dependence.
Purana taskforce acting Inspector Mick Hughes said anyone involved in organised crime could expect to face serious charges.
“We will continue to target those who are part of organised crime networks and those involved in the sale and manufacture of illicit drugs,” Insp Hughes said.
He said the aim would be to destroy criminal networks.
