Responsible Choice

^This Sometimes ya just gotta do it yourself aye? It's coming bruz

Stoked that peeps close to this have chimed in. Yeah, there's always two sides to the story. Hoping the time will come when it will just be considered dickheadery when you get lost tripping in the bush, not a criminal infraction comparable to assault or theft. Same goes for picking them.

Really good insights @Cubism. Still one guy causes trouble tripping balls, and peeps leave shit everywhere (defo a no no). Fucking happens everyday everywhere. Those young fellas probs have to front up to court and that with their families, who knows what will happen. Put some signs up about private property and litter and get the landcare mob out there every now and then. Don't send the fucking cops in on patrol through the pine forests. I know it's a small town but fuck, this shit should be their lowest law enforcement priority, i.e. trespass on private land (a forest) and littering. I get it causes a blow up when someone does something dumb, but that's what the cops are for, and they can surely use their discretion a bit better than this. "Yeah, fuckn 4 days of looking for that fuckwit from outta town... fuck that, I'm gunna bust the shit out of anyone and everyone who comes... fuck all the DUI's and domestics, they don't run for 4 days usually... A run through court will fuckn teach these kids. I should get the ABC here to film it too!". Not helpful in the slightest, and now everyone knows old mates patch at Nannup is da spot. And yet... just pick up your shit and keep it low key I guess? I dunno what the solution is, but education for the cops and everyone else has got to be a part of it, surely?

Please dislike this on YouTube dear friends. Note the cops info, the narrative's tone, and whatsherface's comments and questions. Fucking disgraceful: This cop is out there policing someone's private property... of pine forests. I wish cops would come at my beck and call to patrol my property for intruders. Especially dangerous foragers of NON TOXIC mushrooms. This piece does nothing to reduce harm whatsoever, and serves to highlight the fucking ridiculous nature of our drug laws and how they play out in real terms in a cop's day to day duties. Saved some lives that day, not to mention solved some violent crimes too. I think they admit that this sort of policing takes them away from their core duties... Hazardous effects on the body - cops words. This man is not a scientist, nor is he morally superior to anyone else. I appreciate he has seen someone fucked up on mushrooms; not that pretty, particularly if they have no idea what they are doing (because of chronic lack of information) and if they are mentally ill, but shut the fuck up. You do not know what you are talking about. Do law enforcement, and leave the botanical science and research to those whose job it is to do so. I couldn't care less if you would prefer to go to DVs instead of picking someone up to look after them while they are tripping balls. Get a different job bruz. And ABC.. fark mate. Just don't. Gets my heart racing too much.

Non-active. Not sure of the sp though.

Might be sad but true mate, but hopefully it is an indication that he is not the only one feeling like his job is generating injustice and punishing law abiding citizens.

Cracks in the dam: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-18/drug-driving-laws-cannabis-nsw-unfair-magistrate-david-heilpern/12361312 "I just thought the laws were so grossly unfair that I didn't feel that I could continue to apply them," Mr Heilpern says. "You've got to live with yourself in in these jobs and if the application of a law is so grossly unfair then you've got to ask yourself: 'Well can I keep doing the job?'"

I have to say I agree with the sentiments about corporate government fuckery. Our government is owned by private interests, and is allowed to willfully ignore the will of the people time and time again to do whatever the fuck they can get away with. This COVID recovery commission bullshit is the latest example: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-03/coronavirus-commission-concerns-former-judge-royal-commissioner/12284458?section=politics

Yeah, it was a bullshit response, but the QLD gov only just recently said they would not be changing any drug policy, or even consider it, so it's just a reflection of the fuckwit rhetoric that gets tossed around in politics atm. QLD government is fucking ridiculous mate...
