Queens speech: Drug tests for minor offenders

What the fuck does this mean?

Get stopped for speeding and then get busted for smoking a joint three months ago?

Thats ridiculous, i would even say its almost a breach of human rights.
How about testin the whole of the royal family for drugs? Get a few culprits in that clan i would think.

I'm no expert, but I was under the impression that the law on drugs relates to posession?

Congay · Nov 23, 2004

The Fake War On Terror has enabled the Gov to bring in many draconian laws that would never have been allowed otherwise.

Rossy · Nov 23, 2004

Arresting people for a non violent, victimless "crime". Nice one.

Congay · Nov 23, 2004

i doubt very much she had any input at all into the things brought up in "her speech"

Blunkett gets tougher on drugs

Legislation will allow police to test suspects on arrest and make it an offence to have drugs in bloodstream

Alan Travis, home affairs editor
Monday November 22, 2004
The Guardian

New police powers to prosecute offenders for possession if they test positive for drugs when they are arrested, even if the only drugs they have are in their bloodstream, are to be announced this week.

The measure is part of legislation to be unveiled tomorrow in the Queen's speech alongside plans to introduce identity cards and set up a national agency to tackle serious and organised crime in Britain.

The home secretary, David Blunkett, confirmed yesterday that he was still looking at new anti-terror powers. He believed there was a "strong case" for judges in some terrorist trials to sit without a jury.

The proposals will be set out in a draft bill, but Mr Blunkett made it clear that they will not be introduced to parliament immediately. "It is not my intention to try and push a bill through this side of the general election, whenever the prime minister calls it," he said yesterday.

Instead, the government intends to make the drug bill one of five measures given priority in the next session of parliament.

It will contain a new power to perform drug tests on all those arrested whom the police suspect are problem drug users and a range of other measures to take advantage of the rapid expansion of drug-treatment programmes.

Tony Blair, who has insisted that the drug measures be introduced in a separate high-profile bill, hopes that, in the run-up to the election, he can make a massive expansion of drug-treatment programmes a key element in the government's drive to cut crime.

Ministers have become frustrated that the reclassification of cannabis has eclipsed major investment in ensuring that at least 150,000 problem drug users are going through treatment every year. "We are doing a lot more to break the link between drugs and crime, particularly with intervention programmes, but you would not think so from the way the issue has been debated over the last 18 months," said a Home Office source.

At present, the police only have the power to insist that a person takes a drug test when they have been formally charged. The Home Office says that allowing the police to test those who have been arrested is likely to double the number who are tested in police stations to 240,000 a year.

The legislation is expected to introduce a new definition of "possession" of an illegal drug, making it an offence to have a certain amount in the bloodstream. This is likely to prove controversial - not least because some drugs, such as cannabis, can remain in the bloodstream for weeks.

In a move which is likely to alarm human rights lawyers, ministers are examining ways in which somebody who is the subject of an anti-social behaviour order can be compelled to go through a drug-treatment course even though they have not been convicted of a criminal offence.

Mr Blunkett told ITV1's Jonathan Dimbleby programme yesterday that decisions on new anti-terror laws could not be taken until the House of Lords had ruled on the legality of the detention of foreign nationals at Belmarsh.

Some do, some don't but I think I'll make my own decisions on what I put into my body. You can't exactly prosecute people for that.

Long term problems can be easily avoided and there is still no evidence to show that mdma causes brain damage to users.

There is currently no reason for me to stop doing drugs, so I'll continue untill there is, and would rather that the police/government kept out of my personal life the little snivelling fucks.

Likewise inhaling other peoples smoke when at a party.

DMT is a class A substance (probably the most powerfull drug in the world) and occurs naturally in the human brain. Does this mean that technically speaking everyone in Britain could be tried with posession of a class A drug?
