An alleged drug farm which used an elaborate irrigation system to grow cannabis has been raided by NSW police. More than 1500 marijuana plants — with an estimated street value of $1.5 million — were seized from the property in Mudgee in the state's central west. Four men were arrested at the scene and are being questioned. The cannabis plants were ripped from the ground and will be destroyed in a large burn-off, police say. I BET NO ONE CALLS IN SICK WHEN THEY DO THE BURN-OFF!!!! WANKERS!!!

FFS, this is getting more and more like Nazi Germany everyday. What are 'computer crimes'? Does growing a single weed plant equate to 'manufacturing drugs'? "Police get covert search power * March 4, 2009 - 12:17PM NSW Police are to be given covert search warrants, allowing them to search a property without informing the owners for up to three years.

http://www.police.nsw.gov.au/news/latest_r...CZhbGw9MQ%3D%3D Did anyone else see this on the News last night? Australia started as a penal colony - although without the history books I'd have guessed as a mental asylum - and now we've come full circle. Just imagine how good it will be when a police officer can arrest you if you refuse to give your fingerprints! I'm feeling safer already!

Some months ago i was raided, by four officers whom thought themselves above the law in relation to warrants. they gained access to my house by a female officer reaching for her gun. Mad, yep, i am furious and have decided i will never plead to the charges laid by these perverse officers that think themselves above the law. I have no problems with the drug dealers being persecuted , i have no problem with massive plantations going under, yet i do have a problem with a disability pensioner getting raided for one plant because he chose to grow his own pain management when denied medical treatment by an inept government. Back to our friendly pigs for a moment , when asked …
