[Halcyon Daze]

"THE man who once was one of NSW's top crime fighters is to serve a minimum 16 years in jail for attempting to import more than $100 million worth of illegal drugs."

This must be why they love to crack down on our back yard herbs and medicines... -to reduce competition!

they make me fucking sick, it is fucking disgusting, any cop who enforces drug laws and either uses illegal drugs or sells or traffics or what ever should be severely humiliated and get huge jail time, depending on the circumstances, this guy should get life.

perhaps i'm over-reacting, perhaps i'm not angry enough, but fuck these piece of shit cunts that bully innocent people and fuck their lives up with criminal records and getting beaten, raped or abused in another manner in jail, who the fuck are the criminals?

"who the fuck are the criminals" - good question Its not 'just' the odd dodgey cop or the crime commisioner playing this game.

Drugs are one of the biggest economic industries, which are controlled by huge economic entities, like cartels, corporations, banks and governments. The same governments who prohibit these drugs and prosecute us. ( well at least thats an opinion formulated inside my conspiracy orientated mind ) Also certain synthetic drugs are great ways to control and manipulate societies ( and i dont solely mean illicit drugs when i say that )

Without pushing it too far with what i say, i think the levels of corruption go far beyond what most people realise.

Its a big ol' spider web, dont get stuck !

(edit) here is a video that supports this theory

i completely agree with you tipz

It was pseudoephedrine, not ice. Lets not use the same sensationalist reporting that the majority of the media does?

The sad thing about this is that your every day idiot that supports the war on drugs cant possible see that this reveals the inherent problems with the whole conecpet of the war on drugs. Instead they are pleased that a handful of kids got busted with a couple of pills at whatever music festival.

What shits me is the fact that he won't be doing real hard time like anyone else.

When a cop goes down they put them in segregation. From a cops perspective the risk is lower, the sentence is more lenient because of the fact that they're protected. The sentence can have the same length but it is "soft" time compared to anyone else.

They know the risks and when they break the laws they are meant to be enforcing they should go to gaol like anyone else. I say if they break the law they should get no special treatment and go into general population like anyone else, they are no better than any other common criminal, personally I think they are much worse.
