F**ken dog haters.

The dogs are doing their best FFS.

I'm not suggesting that strip searching is fair. I'm asking you whether there is a way enforce the law that is fair. From your response I assume you are advocating for unfettered access to drugs but with testing to make sure they can do it 'safely'.

Fair enough. Thats been a roaring success with alcohol.

Not entirely true. Some have approached the drug problem from outside the box.

In 2001, it became the first country to decriminalize the consumption of all drugs.

From what I have read and heard reported on Triple J

I think they have a vested interest in reducing drug detection

Requires a long-term commitment and perseverance but, yes it can work.

The sniffer dogs just want to see some doodle.

Man your a complete dickarse at times

 

[hindy111]

My kids tell me that these searches are usually based on the drug sniffer dog sitting down and indicating a positive sniff. They reckon that the sniff dogs are only right 40% of the time.

When I was younger and would go to festivals we would just squirt bong water on everyone's pants. The sniffer dogs didn't know what the he'll was going on.

 

[hindy111]

I don't know about 40% but the dogs can get it wrong a lot. It's still wrong tho, some of those girls are pretty young to be getting searched like that, especially if they were just sitting in the same room or car where their mates were smoking weed.

Yes cause so many people squirt bong water.
Plus most drug dealers I knew would bury their supply 2 weeks before the festival inside the grounds and dig them up on the day.

 

[hindy111]

Since when are your kids experts on sniffer dogs? Unless, they are massive drug merchants.

Either you've been lied to or you have drug peddling children.

Regardless, I wish you well.

Gronks an expert on everything. He may also be a dickarse

 

[hindy111]

How else do we do it in a way thats fair? Or do we just turn a blind eye and let people get completely f**k eyed?

Test the drugs and make sure they are safe to use.
Who cares if they smoke a bit of weed . Should be legal. Yet it's fine for gallahs to get intoxicated on grog at horse races and punch on.
Stoner's don't fight they sit peacefully

This is true.

Urban Dictionary: dick-arse

adj; 1) describes an object or situation that is extremely difficult to get around in or to find your way through; a person that is very difficult to deal with; 2) something or someone that is lame or stupid

On the matter of pill testing, it should be mandatory at all concerts imo.

We've heard ScoMo say it will never be legislated as he does not support drugs, which is typical of his spin doctoring, no one was suggesting that.

If a kid makes a bad decision at a young age, they should not have to pay with their life.

ScoMo is a a dinosaur. Needs to be shown the door and he can go back to happy clapping.

…and shitting his pants at Maccas.

 

[84 Baby]

what would that be ?

The fact that everyone that works or listens to Triple J is a self-righteous bonghead?

I think that's called being judgemental and/or generalizing unless you know them all personally

 

[hineyrulz]

I thought the J in triple J stood for Joint???

 

[strider]

Yes cause so many people squirt bong water.

"most drug dealers I knew"

No no it’s definitely a proven fact

There are plenty of less invasive ways of drug testing without strip searching teenagers

Drug Testing NZ & AU | Workplace Drug Detection Solutions | TDDA

The Drug Detection Agency offers 24/7 mobile drug testing and alcohol testing, training and education, substance use policy design in the workplace in NZ and Australia.

From what I have read and heard reported on Triple J, they all produce false positives much like teh sniffer dogs but obviously less invasive.

I'd say false positives are preferable to letting merkins get away with smuggling drugs. The exception is if your dogs are so trigger happy that your manual search resources are overloaded with looking up an endless procession of clackers for no reward.

And spare us the teenage-girls-as-victims narrative. If they're going to music festivals with deadshit drug users they're not innocent. And it is surely female cops doing the searching.

We all know a representative sample of Triple J listeners.
