While things appeared normal at one of the Sunshine Coast’s busiest entertainment precincts on Friday night, 50 police officers marching down the Mooloolaba esplanade and a black, drug sniffing dog soon made revellers look twice.

Just after 10pm a wall of Coast police officers in dark blue overalls, led by a young, enthusiastic black labrador, joined uniformed officers and several in plain clothes for their stroll along the strip.

People on their way home from dinner, night walkers and those hopping between clubs appeared shocked.

“Police drug dog,” an officer said in monotone.

“Don’t touch the dog. If you touch the dog you will be arrested.”

Most people were happy to comply. They laughed as the dog sniffed around their shoes and pockets.

The officer told the dog how good it was being, someone thanked the person who had just been subjected to the pooch’s scrutinising snout, and the offers moved to the next person.

“Police drug dog,” the lead officer repeats.

“Don’t touch the dog. If you touch the dog you will be arrested.”

They moved along the Mooloolaba esplanade, cut into O’Malley’s to check the line up at the door, then moved to The Wharf.

A glassy eyed young girl, who should probably have been asleep in a bedroom shrouded with posters of Beyonce, was escorted away.

Up the road, another young girl was asked to tip out her drink.

She swung the bottle in a huff and slammed the bottle on the ground in a show of defiance.

She was questioned at length and the contents of her handbag were checked.

All this happened as two men were questioned and searched after the dog indicated they may be carrying drugs.

Another couple of pumpkins mouthed off to a young couple nearby about the cops, and used language that would make Tony Soprano blush.

It was a bad move.

The young couple the men chose to mouth off to were plain clothes officers who called in their uniformed buddies.

By the time we reached The Esplanade again, a young man was in handcuffs sitting cross legged at the base of a tree.

I did not hear what the officer said but the detained man screamed:

“Because my pants fell down.” At O’Malley’s again, two bouncers were searched.

A man sporting a mullet hairstyle decided it was a good idea to tell the cops they were “pigs” and he received a ride in the paddywagon for his trouble.

[Jakeperson]

Sounds like an invasion of our rights.






This really disgusts me. And they think that the drug users are low lifes.

What a waste of time and money they put into that... Can't our tax dollars go to better use like using 50 police officers to track down murders and thieves!

I shake my head when I hear about things like this happening come on guys surely you don't think you are going to make a difference pulling small stunts like these...

 

[mushi mushi 88]

OK I just watched the video and the presenter said, "Police describe the results as encouraging."

Ummm encouraging for what guys...? To take drugs seeing as you caught fuck all people in the 3 hour time frame; 20 people that's embarrassing I don't think I would want to put that on the web if I was the givernment... Now I'm laughing even harder at there efforts.

 

[SupDUDES]

who cares...

Its worse then 20. Regarding drug related arrests all they got were:
1 man and woman for drug supply
9 people for drug possession
2 people for having drug utensil's

 

[mushi mushi 88]

Hmmm so let me work this out:


50 police officers right.

On an average hourly wage of what around 20/hr.

Plus they worked for 3 hours so that's $60 for three hours for just 1 police officer.

So $60/hr x 50 police officer = $3000 just for that lame little amount of people.

Oh wait I forgot what about the paper work they will have to fill out when they get back to the station and the amount of time they took to get their and the time for briefing and so fourth.... I reckon that little operation would of cost probably double the amount now!

Now they have to take them to court which will cost more for judges and lawyers and the prosecutor... Oh wait they got to people for supply, so that will cost us apx $45 000 per person per year to keep them in jail.

Four words, "I HATE THE GOVERNMENT!" But shhhh don't tell them that because it will just go through one ear and straight out the other because they think that they are making a difference.... 8)

So let me ask you this government. Are you making money out of these so called criminals or are you just costing the tax payers more and more money which would be making our economy even worse in these troublesome times...?

Also on the same night ...

A FIVE-hour traffic blitz on Queensland's Bruce Highway at Beerburrum has netted eight alleged drink drivers and one alleged drug driver.
Police pulled over more than 1000 drivers in the north and southbound lanes of the highway at Beerburrum, as part of Operation Lasso 10.

The Brisbane Dog Squad and the Drug Driving Test Unit were involved in the blitz, which saw 18 people arrested on 27 charges.

They included eight alleged drink drivers with the highest reading being 0.138.

Ten drug offences were detected, and there was one positive roadside drug test recorded.

Police also charged one person with possession of tainted property

Do cops only get $20ph? Fucken hell, even though they are the enemy I think they should be on at least $30ph. Why would anyone want to be a cop for that sort of money? lol the "bad" guys get paid far better then the good guys .

Id like to see the last the time the cops did something and said "well that was a waste of time and money". It doesnt happen. "Everything was worth it. Don't ask questions or face arrest. Eat all your drugs and die, we don't care. Every death is worth it...."

 

[Romie1092]

^ I got a friend training to be a cop and from memory he said once he finishes his training and becomes police officer or what ever you call it (Cuntsable maybe?). They pay is between 45-50k a year (for some reason I think he said 48k but cant remember exactly) and they do I think 4 x 12 or 14 hour shifts a week. Doesnt seam that good pay for the job IMO but thats just for a newb who is just starting off. NFI how much more the higher rank guys get payed.

Got pretty bad short term memory loss from mdma abuse.

 

[static_mind]

Yeah I think my short term memory is perm fucked from MDMA abuse as well. I don't eat it anymore and the short term memory doesnt seem to get any better after months.

Did you notice by anychance when you go out it takes far less booze or drugs before you forget everything?

That was my wake up call, even going easy my memory go's blank. But shit happens i did this to myself and im over it, prob shit i dont want to remember anyway

 

[filenet]

wha? in one post you guys rant on about how safe MDXX is and then the next post you're claiming short term memory loss that doesn't subside after months of going clean.........come on! think about it.........this is the exact shit that is fodder to those who are willing to exploit!

 

[SupDUDES]

Maybe you should see a Psychiatrist and get an Rx for Dexies? I'm fuckin wit you. Hah...

Did you notice by anychance when you go out it takes far less booze or drugs before you forget everything?

you dnt have to go out and take drugs/lika.

And isn't forgetting everythin by takin drugs a form of addiction mind-frame?

and isnt it somethin that it takes less drugs for u to git fuked, as yor use increases?

That was my wake up call, even going easy my memory go's blank. But shit happens i did this to myself and im over it, prob shit i dont want to remember anyway

The thing is its fairly safe in moderation but if abused, mdma is pretty nasty IMO. Im talking 300+ pills in a year and one month. Dont think im dick sizing too, im actually disgusted, ashamed, embarrased and feel fucking dirty as with the amount of pills ive consumed.

"Don’t touch the dog. If you touch the dog you will be arrested"


LOL what are they? a gold crown thats a treasure? lol

I dont understand these cops either. There are alot of murderers and burglars out there and they are wasting time and money on these sort of little incidents? They could atleast be productive if some of our tax goes to them.

 

[static_mind]

I dont care if im giving out fodder. You think its better to pretend that long term effects don't happen and we should all just ignore them. Fucken hell you can pretend MDMA has no flaws just so the other guys don't get any fodder all you want. Me however will openly talk about it.

It seems like your trying to be ignorant.

Couldnt agree more with you, I dont mind openly talking about it to aslong as its the truth and not bs.

Regarding my booze/drugs and loosing memory I cant really say tbh, I think thats saying something lol

Ive become pretty retarded like forget how to spell simple words and sometimes even how to pronounce something, I need to think about it for afew seconds : /

Yup too much drugs

You mean you've actually counted the number of pills you ingested within 1 year and 1 month?

300+ pills is equivelant to a pill everyday for a year and then some. It doesn't matter if you douple/triple or quad-drop on weekends as well.

You really are terrible with your ST Memory. I was explaining to you that MDMA use causes long-term brain damage, it's a neurotoxin, it fucks you up for a long-term.
