499467SirAnthony, I think 3.5 tons might be too much for one police parking lot, I would recommend destruction by burning in individually rolled cigarettes.
Well KH, the cops often have mass ganja-burning sessions in the cop shop car parks, which are attended by the media and which are similar to the steamrollers running over the booze (which must make an awful mess - I wonder which poor bastards have to clean up all the broken glass). Anyway, I'd suggest finding out when this is going to happen and standing downwind of the proceedings.
I wonder how much of the evidence will still be in the police lock up when this goes to trial?
Tulang Bawang has obviouly added another commodity... Certainly the most profitable and my guess is that its one truck out of 50 that gets caught... While tourists sit for years for a few gramms we never hear how these stories turn out... Seems to me the profits pay for establishing a sharia enclave there.... Sounds more and more like afghanistan/taliban tactics...
We're jamming.
Lampung Police found themselves knee-deep in grass on Monday after searching a truck that turned out to contain 3,500 bricks of dried marijuana.
The 3.5-ton drug haul was discovered as the truck waited to board a ferry to cross the Sunda Strait at Bakauheni Port in South Lampung.
Police arrested two men who they said admitted to being offered Rp 15 million ($1,700) to drive the truck to Jakarta from Lampung’s Tulang Bawang district.
Tulang Bawang’s main industry is rubber, coconut, oil palm and sugarcane plantations.
