DRUG raids across Queensland's Sunshine Coast have ended in the arrest of 45 people for 130 offences, police say. Officers executed 50 search warrants across the region, stretching from coastal areas to the hinterland in a massive week-long operation last week. A police spokeswoman said among those arrested were two people charged with trafficking. The other 43 people were charged with mostly drug-related offences, she said. Two hydroponic set-ups and one amphetamine laboratory were found, as well as weapons. A large amount of cash and a number of laptops, alleged to be proceeds of crime, were also seized. Those charged will appear in the Maroochydore, Calound…

IT was hardly glamorous but it did the job. A Sydney police officer commandeered a bicycle to chase a teenager who fled while he was being questioned yesterday in suburban Redfern. Officers began chasing the youth when he ran off at 9.45pm yesterday but lost him. But when he was spotted again a few minutes later, a detective sergeant was not going to lose his man again. He stopped a passing cyclist and commandeered his bike to chase the youth. Shortly afterwards, with a disclocated shoulder the result of an arrest struggle, the police officer had his suspect. The youth has been charged with stealing, assaulting and resisting police and trespassing. He will…

QUEENSLAND police may finally get the helicopter they've been dreaming of – except it's in miniature. The Sunday Mail has learned that police have approached Queensland University of Technology researchers about the use of remote-controlled choppers and planes to fight crime. Systems for both the plane and helicopters are being developed at QUT, while CSIRO is working on test flights for the mini-choppers at Pullenvale in Brisbane. "They are pretty impressive when you see them in flight," said CSIRO researcher Stefan Hrabar. QUT aviation expert Associate Professor Rod Walker has confirmed talks with police took place last year. The university has also extended inv…

A man caught bringing a cannabis plant into a Brisbane court says he will fight drug charges as part of his long-running campaign to have marijuana legalised. Peter Till, 39, of Nimbin in northern NSW, appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court charged with possessing a dangerous drug. Security officers said they seized the 50cm-tall cannabis plant at a screening machine in the Brisbane Magistrates Court's entry foyer on Monday. Mr Till said the plant was "evidence" for a court appearance. After the plant was seized, he still faced court on drug charges stemming from his arrest in October last year for smoking a cannabis cigarette in the city's Queen Street Mall. Desp…

A new report titled "Where there's smoke - cannabis and mental health" has been released. It was featured (splashed) in our local rag yesterday for some lovely boxing day anticannabis diatribe, no doubt! The link to it is here - http://www.mhca.org.au/documents/MHCACannabisfinalLR.pdf Heads up to Niall, Jess and our other cruisaders. I haven't had chance to swallow it all yet. Found section one summary to negate the value of the whole study. Funny enough, another government funded study into a phony issue. Likely better entitled "Where there's smoke and mirrors - governent misappropiation of funds and propaganda." Onto some quotes from the document.. "Recent p…

Looks like some little snot in the Federal Government has decided its time make an example of harmless potsmokers again. I realise the Government singles out minority groups to walk all over but this is going to hurt them in the next election. Over half of the population have smoked Cannabis at some point in their lives or still do and we all know the draconian prohibitionist laws originally made to destroy the hemp industry are a croc. What is the point in going after water pipes? For crying out loud I can make one out of an orchy bottle and a few inches of garden hose. Trying to prevent the sale of bongs will only leave us with more money in our pockets to buy pot. Th…

Tough drug laws hidden away DESPITE Premier Mike Rann's tough talk to stamp out "evil" drug lords who use children as traffickers, his Government has failed to commence new laws targeting drug dealing activities. The laws were passed exactly one-year ago, creating more severe penalties for drug dealers but the Government has stopped them from becoming operational. Drug dealers who sell, supply or administer drugs to children should be facing maximum penalties of life imprisonment and, or, a $1 million fine. But the State Government, which promised to commence the law this year, has stalled its introduction while bureaucratic red-tape holds up other tough new drug la…

Was anyone able to pick up the latest Independent Weekly - it featured a large, healthy shade leaf and a headline to the effect that Adelaide is the marijuana capital of Australia or some such. I suspect it's a stupid sensationist article designed to pull in the weekend readership (ooh, vice!) but maybe I'm being too hard on the paper - it used to be a fairly bright paper. If anyone could post a scan I'd appreciate it or I'll look for it at the library and post it myself here. If Adelaide is the marijuana capital of Australia why do I never bump into other smokers - it's crazy!
