Another customer has had the police come by, up in Scotland: As quoted by a poster on another forum, '... wasnt eager to make this public, but it's left me absolutely disgusted with the Police, and reinforced my belief that most of them are misleading and conniving buggers.
Yesterday I receieved a call on my mobile from a Scottish Police force, in particular, from a Detective Constable. She got my details from a Mephedrone supplier, who's website I used frequently some time ago. She stressed that I wasnt in any trouble, but wanted to ask me a few questions regarding my purchases from the site. I immedietly tried to get some legal advice, firstly to make sure that I wasnt going to be incriminating myself, and secondly to make sure that I wouldnt be putting anyone in the shit. Even though im well aware that Mephedrone is still a legal compound, I have no idea what my standing would be.
They called round this morning, and were freindly enough at the start, though we had a small disagreement, when they tried to paint an ignorant picture of one man dying from Mephedrone use in Dundee. I asked them what other substances he had taken with Mephedrone and they admitted he had mixed a fair few, and I found myself spouting my usual Drugs debate, which pissed them off slightly. As soon as I started, they were forcibly ramming the point home that this wasnt about my opinion on Drugs, and it was about the specific point of asking me questions related to the investigation. Then they started taking a statement, which I was comfortable with up until she asked me personal questions about my Drug use. I asked her three times during the interview why these questions were necessary, and she told me it was standard practice to ask these questions whenever they take a statement. When she asked me how long i'd been taking Mephedrone for, I realised that she was asking questions from a sheet that was tailored for the investigation that they are carring out. I asked her this, and she got absolutely defensive, tried to lie to me, and hide the sheet. When I asked that the interview be stopped, and I asked to stop answering questions, she tried to swing it back round on me and tried to run the guilt trip of how kids were taking Mephedrone, and I was 'unwilling to help them put a stop to it'. Only a fucking woman would have the nerve eh!
I asked to end the interview and was unwilling to say anything further. Quite frankly, im absolutely disgusted that they totally mislead me. While this is part of a major investigation for the Police, it's clear that they want to canvass user's habits and get more information on Mephedrone. I highlighted this, and they agreed, but what really makes me angry is the bias that they seem to have installed in them, and I asked them why they dont bother to leave their ignorance at the door, and actually do some research themselves. I mean, jesus. As I was showing them out, I was threatened with the knowledge that if this goes to the fiscal, they could force me to give evidence and if I refused, would be commiting an offence.
Most of you will have no doubt used the same supplier as me, who is now shut down, so expect a call from the Police, if you havent already.
MY OPINION:
I think I did the right thing, though I fully accept that people who sell Mephedrone from websites and such, do so with no warning whatsoever, and this practice is extremely irresponsible. I absloutely do not agree with this, and it's something that I could not do personally. I also understand that a lot of people are classing Mephedrone and other legal high's, as safe substances, purely for the fact that they are legal. Surely though, as with all substances, controlled or not, education is the key? If only the Police and other agencies would realise this.
This also highlights the extremely rapid public knowledge of Mephedrone, and how it's coverage has absolutely exploded over the last 2 months or so. This can only be seen as a bad thing. I dont know of any other legal high that has gained so much coverage so fast, or is on everyone's lips when I go out. I honestly have serious concerns that this issue will be part of new legislation next year. Sad times.
Discuss if you please, EADD...'
Believe this customer is also based north of the border.... am under the impression that people in Scotland have more to worry about concern this case. Understand that the police are contacting customers whose packages were clearly labelled to be sent out at the time of the vendor two separate arrests. Packages lying around the vendor's residence about to be shipped out rather than from customer records found on his computer apparently. Though imagine further investigations could take place if the case esculates.
