Biscuit said:Just playing the devil's advocate for a moment. Is that not the sort of irresponsible behaviour that helps justify the police's ridiculous and heavy handed response to combating the "evils" of party drugs at music festivals?
[eK] said:yeah it was a mad night! the crowd seemed heaps more calmer and that there.. maybe because it was the first 18+ rave i have been to. maybe that no lad policy is working?? there didn't seem to be as many as usual.. and most of the ones that were there seemed like reasonable guys
a sniffer dog got a close whiff of me and 12 other friends when we jumped off our mini bus! - no cigar, although i was crapping myself because we had been smoking a bit of grass for a few hours beforehand 8)
phase_dancer said:It was certainly interesting what came up while talking to a bunch of young people a week or so ago.
In an effort to tie up police resources, this crew drop their pills before entering an event, but carry in a variety of vitamin and supplement tablets, going for the ones that look most like ecstasy tablets. One of this group was picked up by sniffer dogs, has been charged and is awaiting analytical results. Obstruction charges surely couldn't apply, as the person apprehended stated what the tablets truely were. After all, any health conscious person would want to ensure they weren't vit deficient after hours of dancing or drinking...
The groups' reasoning is, if enough people did this, it would only be a matter of time before police either gave up or had onsite testing equipment - a very expensive exercise. Remember, forensic resources in most states are stretched as it is.
skatkid said:yeh i was there. went in pretty late tho and by then there were no dogs. saw heaps of undercovers inside one mid 20s dude came up to me and was like do u know where i can buy an ecstasy pill. i lold.
js2k6 said:to the poster who said they don't think cops can do that?
i go to one of the larger hard trance / hardstyle clubs in melbourne regularly.
i've had undercover cops (absolutely certain they are... due to connections to security, who must be pre-warned before any undercover police may enter a venue)
they've come up to me asking for several things...
"know where i can buy some drugs?"
"got any red transformers" <--- asked in august... 6 months since i'd seen a red autobot!!
"know where i can buy some ecstasy pills?"
"you selling any amphetamines?"
these are some of the questions i've been asked.... now seriously. i'd say 99.9% of us on bluelight here use... sif any of us would say this shit asking for drugs.
ffs.
really... does it matter if the police are allowed to ask you such questions...
if you're dealing.. and stupid enough to bite, and sell to an undercover (they stand out like dogs balls) then you deserve to be caught.
it's darwinian... it's survival of the fittest
not survival of the shittest...
and really.... you fail
therefore you don't survive.
i sorta wanna appologise for saying that a little rudely. went to an event tonight and can't say i had a single problem with the police presence, and in fact a policeman I chatted with actually had the time to respond rather than blow you off, they seemed quite relaxed.Mr TIMO said:What ever happened to our rights?
It's one thing to use this sort of heavy policing at an airport to test for explosives etc, but when you've got people going to a music festival to enjoy themselves with what is mostly harmless fun, why can't the police just fuck off.
