And the cocaine just magics itself to your nose does it, there is no problems in its production, transport and selling?
I dont think so, certainly some products have a nasty supply chain, but to compare them to what cocaine does to the people and enviroment of South America is over the top.
There are hundreds of thousands of Colombians who would disagree.
In my experience the police do go for those people, within reason. You need proof, and good dealers won't allow them to get it. There is also the desire to get the big guns, and of course there is some corruption.
I don't think they do, not to the extent of prosecution.
The cynic says they confiscate stuff because they can, and because they want to. It's amazing how many drugs goe walkies from police stations.
Paddick had the right idea to drugs policing.
He is also still a very senior police officer. He was making some very interesting comments about policing at the end of last week.
"Victor Meldrew Syndrome" stigamtises young people.
He's completely right too. They should promote him to the top job IMHO, and jail Blair for conspiracy to murder.
one who deserves the publics support and ...the governments ...fat chance though.
And that's exactly it.
He says he goes after the proper crims, the robbers and muggers, not someone smoking the botanical equaivalent of a JD and coke. That's how it should be.
And someone who gets the old fogeys to shut up is a good copper. Always moaning about fat kids, and then slap ASBOs and curfews on any teen who dares to have some fun. They need to be told to shut up.
padick is a legend, simple as - all coppers imo should aspire to his standards
Did you see the Panorama about ASBO's, truely frightening, interim ASBO's given without any warning or chance to defend yourself. ASBO's given to kids with IQ's of 64, and virtually half of them being broken.
It imposes criminal liabilities on a civil order, and ASBOs are very sneaky. There isn't the same opportunity to defend yourself because all the police need to show is that people don't like you- they don't even need to show a propensity for criminal behaviour.
Lots of things stink these days. Get convicted of affray twice and you can get sent to prison for life- and people wonder why the prisons are overflowing.
On the Panorama they showed sections of the Estate where the kids were living, its no bloody wonder they are angry and like getting drunk, it seems the only reasonable response to their enviroment.
