If things were changed to not rely on people breaking the law to to stop people from breaking the law, it'd be a lot more effective.
Kinda off-topic, but I wanted to rant.
It is very difficult to make people comply with the law
@Vice-God Emperor Cider well australian police also arrest you for going to pro life rallies
Especially with people who thinks a few google searches makes them lawyers

Like harsher sentences wouldn't do anything because people are who do crime are very desperate people and a year or 2 longer in prison isnt gonna do anything
Look man, speed limit is 100km per hour, with 5km tolerance. If you go outside of that tolerance, you're clearly speeding. Half your demerit points, big fine. Clearly defined laws with harsh punsihments.
I agree with that, but it would be a step in the right direction (I believe).
I believe harsh sentences on violent crime/aiding in it. That’s more legal system than it is law enforcement agencies though
Australia is very proficient at mental gymnastics.
Drug cases for sure are infective, not sure about robbery and murder
@Vice-God Emperor Cider that's two small of a tolerance. In my opinion I think that it would make it more dangerous because people are always going it be looking at the speedometer instead of the road.
I think drug sentences should be shorter, and out time and funds towards programs for drug addicts, that being said a lot of people will refuse help such as rehabilitation programs
I can imagine people saying that the cars malfunctioned
It doesn't have to be that exact law and penalty, but do you agree with the idea that it should be changed to not rely on people breaking the law to fund the force that stops people breaking the law?
Yea I think cartels should be punished more than anyone, users not so much, maybe a fine is good enough. Smugglers should be shorter
See above reply.
Yeah that ridiculous.
I think anyone distributing should be longer, regular users shorter
Supplying and creating a drug should have a harsher punishment than distribution. Refer to pirating of movies and music.
The people distributing and making the drugs are the source of the issue
With everything, really.
I do agree. Yea drug smugglers, harvesters. Are the ones who are taking advantage of mentally I'll people for drugs
Even lots of petty crime, a lot of people do petty theft and stuff for money for drugs
If someone made a rehabilitation center here, I doubt a lot of homeless people will use it since they are on welfare and stay on the streets
With regards to welfare, the biggest c*ck up NZ made wasn't letting in a bunch of islanders without any background checks. It was giving them welfare so that they didn't have to work.
Both smugglers and makers are the problem but I agree makers aren't doing it because they steal desperate but smugglers, a lot are desperate
Does a lot of new comers not have background checks?
That is very flawed
Smuggling is one of those ultra-high risks, moderate reward things. You only do it if you have literally nowhere else.
@SmokyCopCar marijuana is one of the most common drugs in the US. I believe it should be legal to grow FOR YOURSELF and NOT to distribute. Marijuana is not dangerous it's the chemicals that dealers put in it to get you addicted and to keep buying more.
It may not work it may work idk I ain't a expert
Very true, people who do it are either desperate or very compassionate with the drug smuggling group
That's what's happening in Canberra and the ACT, it looks good so far.
THC is natural in Marijuana and is what causes effects and addiction most of the time
Marijuana is legal here in canada. I dont think it has a whole lot of bad affects but my classmates definitely use it over cigarettes
Cant tell you which is worse but they all vape now so
It used to be this way. I don't remember exact stats but essentially, there are now over 300k people living in the country who don't have to work, and so they don't. It's part of the reason why NZ is so broken now.
And marijuana can still hurt you badly it causes brain and lung damage but other legal things do
Idk how many people live in NZ but I assume it's like 7 percent
