NSW cops get police-state powers to search your home.

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.

 

The warrants will be issued through the Supreme Court and limited to investigations of suspected serious offences punishable by at least seven years jail.

 

These offences include the manufacture of drugs, computer crimes, the sale of firearms, homicide and kidnapping.

 

Premier Nathan Rees said NSW would be the first jurisdiction in Australia to adopt the covert search warrants, and would be borrowing from commonwealth anti-terrorism legislation.

 

"If you are a serious criminal in NSW you should not sleep easy," Mr Rees told reporters.

 

"These laws will enable our police force to inspect your home without you knowing."

 

The new powers will allow for the owners of the covertly searched property to be kept in the dark for up to six months.

 

However, NSW Police may apply before the court to delay that notification for 18 months, and up to three years in some exceptional circumstances."

the ministerial release gives some more detail on the offenses that these warrants will be granted for :Supply, manufacture or cultivation of drugs! Possession ,manufacture or sale of firearms. Money laundering. Car or boat re birthing. Unauthorized access to or modification of computer data/electronic communications. Theft. Violence causing grievous bodily harm or wounding. possession manufacture of false instruments. corruption. destruction of property. Homicide. kidnapping.

 

note how cultivation of the plant is first and the killing of a fellow human is last !

Seriously we are just turning into America, right as they are getting ?better?

Another stupid thing to do. All the hectic crooks will just install security cameras all over their property. And probably some trip wires here and there
