RR77 – yes they can do the swab test, no I haven’t been swabbed(and I’ve been breath-tested 14 times in two years)

My record was getting tested 4 times in one night. Way back in the mist of time(what some people who wish to sound american refer to as ‘back in the day’) I was driving to various parties, picking up and dropping people off (designated driver) I was tested on both sides of Northbourne Ave (Going to woden then coming back), coming out of a carpark in Civic (across from Bailey’s Arcade) and the fourth time on William Hovell Dr. bnefore the fourth time when the Station Sgt asked me to blow in the bag (in the pre-count to 10 days) I said somewhat astonished “What again..” he asked what I meant and I told him this was 4 for the night. He asked me where the other 3 had been and when I told him he just told me to have a good night and sent me happily on my way…

On the Burns Club robbery, I’m only surprised the Club isn’t hit more often. The servo seems to be the venue of choice for young idiots looking for a quick robbery. After, all they’re pretty remote from any police station and you can take your pick of getaway routes on foot.

Sounds like the first article was a case of someone being lured somewhere for drugs but got something else instead. Seemingly an avoidable shame

That’s my standard way of heading home, Swaggie. The RBT station is usually right up the end of Drakeford near to Woodcock drive. Not that I drink and drive, it’s just a drag being RBT’d at least once a fortnight, sometimes once a week!

So the rule is if you are in Civic of a night time don’t get run into by the pissed idiots.

I’m not proud of it but in my younger years I did just that. Not just once either.

What puzzles me is why on Friday night the police set up an RBT on Drakeford Dr southbound at 9pm. It was visible from a good 400 metres away – blue flashing lights both sides of the carriage way so if you’ve had a few you’re trapped right? No….The police conveniently set up the operation 50 metres past the turn off into Noorooma Street so if you have had a few you just turn off into Noorooma before the RBT and do a loop through the back streets to rejoin Drakford Drive after the RBT. They didn’t have anyone stationed down Noorooma either watching for anyone doing a sudden left. Seemed like a pretty pointless exercise to me.

Do they do roadside drug tests in the ACT? Anyone R.A’ers been swabbed?

I don’t understand why there are sexual assault charges and not kidnapping as well. Presumably the girl did not want to go there with the man?
I understand that these things can be hard on victims, but who would willingly travel with a person that has sexually assaulted you? Extra details are obviously missing.
