Police having a Field Day: drug warnings fall on deaf ears

The Herald also witnessed a young man tackled by police when he seemingly ingested something from his pocket after a positive indicator from a drug detection dog.


“The possession or supply of prohibited drugs is a serious criminal offence. Those thinking of bringing substances into the event are reminded there will be uniformed and plain-clothed police patrolling the festival, which will include the use of drug-detection dogs. Not only are they illegal, prohibited drugs can be extremely harmful to your health, and are potentially life-threatening, particularly combined with alcohol,” police operation commander, Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Bell said in a statement on New Year’s Eve.


Despite the four deaths since September, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has reiterated her government will not consider pill testing.


“There is no such thing as a safe illegal drug and I urge everyone who is attending a festival to stay safe and think carefully about the decisions they make around drugs,” she said on Sunday.
