Kids to sue over Vic SOGy drug raid A six-year-old girl and her teenage brother are suing a corrupt former detective over a police raid where machineguns were allegedly pointed in their faces. The children and partner of Victorian Bandidos motorcycle club member Robert Kim Sloan have lodged County Court writs accusing police of assault, battery and inducing fear. The March 2000 raid on Mr Sloan's Geelong house led to him being sentenced to more than four years' jail on drugs charges. Mr Sloan had argued during his trial that the drugs, which were found during the third search of his house, were planted by police. After spending five months behind bars, Mr Sloan wa…

hops Off Testicle in Dispute with Wife Mon Dec 22, 9:59 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo! NAIROBI (Reuters) - A Kenyan man chopped off one of his testicles in a row with his wife and then walked naked to a police station to report the incident, police said on Monday. Police rushed 26-year-old Stephen Ongala to hospital after he stumbled into their police station in the border town of Busia in western Kenya on Friday bleeding heavily. "He said he did it because he had had a disagreement with his wife," said deputy police chief Shadrack Maithya. "If we get evidence that he tried to take his life, then we may charge him because it is a c…

Well EMI and some other CD producers have introduced copy-protected CD's. (That's if your lucky not to own a Mac, as it would mean a trip to the PC store for repairs) Protected means the Windows Media Player can't play (or copy or even see the files) the CD, supposably meant to autoplay but I haven't got it going. Frustration as myself like millions of other have since incorporated my stereo into my PC and thus without the Media Player the CD is blank and useless.... I can still play the CD on the PS or my walkman, but as I never do this I doubt it, prefering compilation CD's I have burnt (in the second case, six channel sound in the first). I don't buy CD's to individual…

Mixed views on cops' email power New email, voicemail and SMS monitoring powers for Federal police and security agencies have caused a mixed reaction among civil liberties groups. The Telecommunications (Interception) Amendment Bill 2004, tabled last week, includes text-based communications and stored voice messages in the definition of voice communications. For police and law-enforcement agencies to access messages still on a telco's or ISP's servers and not yet delivered to the intended recipient, a telecommunications interception warrant will be required under the new laws, as opposed to the more easily obtainable search warrant. "The interception warrant requires …

MONTREAL, 8 December 2004 -- A first-of-its-kind study of safety issues surrounding the medical use of cannabis has just been launched. Known as the COMPASS study (Cannabis for the management of pain: assessment of safety study), the research initiative will follow 1400 chronic pain patients, 350 of whom use cannabis as part of their pain management strategy, for a one-year period. Seven participating pain clinics across Canada are now enrolling patients for this study. "Patients in COMPASS will typically have pain resulting from spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, arthritis or other kinds of hard-to-treat neuropathic or muscle pain," explains Dr. Mark Ware, princ…

Northern Territory police have issued a warning to drug users and sellers after a new unit of the force was put into operation on New Year's Eve. Police dogs Scent and Monty were on the beat and despite torrential downpours in Darwin, were able to find five nightclubbers in possession of amphetamines and cannabis. Superintendent Mark Christopher says the labradors' success will mean their continued use. "Certainly where there are people there tend to be illicit drugs, if there are illicit drugs we'll run these type of operations," he said. "The key to this is they'll be random and people won't know where to expect them." http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200501…
