He bought it in the streets, typical Aussie end of year footy trip kinda idiot, thought it was cocaine probably, only to find cops 10 steps later waiting to arrest him. Drunk kid, mum and dad won't be too pleased, but his mates got a laugh. Turns out his cocaine was paracetamol. He's glad he got ripped off now. Mummy and Daddy should take him home and ground him. |

I've heard of intent to supply , but intent to buy? I think in certain countries if you buy a suspious white powder from a man on the street corner thinking its nose candy, and it turns out to be corn starch, when the rozzers bust you, they can still charge you as i understand it, under English law the maxim, "the act is criminal, if the intent is criminal" would apply ie you intended to buy an illegal substance, irrespective if powder concerned turned out to be not what you thought On a related note - Scottish police got cute with the guys selling contraband cigarettes on the markets. No matter how many times they bust them, they always came back. So they allocated a spotter and started stopping their customers as they left the market. They moved the risk to the customer, and it worked. It killed the contraband business. |
