Oh dear.The dope growing season appears to be in full swing-Quotes from the Nelson Mail...

"Police were asking the public to report people repeatedly going to rural locations,people seen at odd times in rural locations and to report anybody seen taking shovels,spades and other such items into bush areas."

"Vehicles in rural areas with difficult access and lights at night in the bush should also be reported."

How are we going to explain ourselves without getting in the s%$t?

All sounds a bit too much like Big Brother for my liking...

Big Brother? - you wait - you aint seen nothing yet - when Big Brothers Big Brother takes over then it will get worse - it is a bit of an engima though - get a DOC permit to hunt and go take your shovel, rifle and in your pack your lunch, pan and other gold fossicking gear and as sure as eggs are eggs you will be as guilty as sin until your expensive lawyer proves you innocent - and you wont get no compensation - thats the paradox of the justice system.

I can just see it - half baked mongrel picnicker who just wants a bit of publicity and limelight at anyone elses expense texts 111, reports an evil looking cretinous person with a shovel and rifle heading into the bush and what do the police do - they call armed offenders in Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin, get them all together so that they have the overkill factor on their side and when you are outnumbered 100 to 1 they will silently stalk the bush and then when they find you create the most melodramatic scene you have ever seen, all dressed like Darth Vader, poking guns in your ear, up your arse, in your mouth and anywhere else they can think of, arrest you - heres the good part - they carry you out of the bush by chopper - free ride at least! Grill you down at CIB tell you that your an evil scumbag, tell you that you are cultivating dope, tell you that you have hidden it somewhere, tell you how guilty you are and finally let you go after a great deal of humiliation and being made to feel small by Gestapo like bullies who love picking on others.

I dont think you have a chance - give up fossicking and take up tiddly winks!

There are of course other options - grow dope and give backhanders to select people in authority or become a member of the Gestapo!

wouldnt worry to much how about that. How many times do the cops care when someone rings them id be more worried about the coppa on the way to your forssicking spot with his speeding ticket book out ready to get you!!! they dont make money off drug busts.

they make huge money off the drug war. its one of their largest incomes
they get the millions from the government to fight the war ,do busts ect. the government gets the money from the tax payer (you and me)

the cops are a government department so the government benifit from multi millions set aside to undertake the drug war
