De leider van de politie verzoekt drugslegalisatie

Vrijdag, 12 Oktober, 2007

icWales

De controversiële politie belangrijkste Richard Brunstrom heeft de legalisatie en de verordening van alle drugs in een vandaag gepubliceerd rapport verzocht.

M. Brunstrom, belangrijkste constable van Noord-Wales, beschreef het Misbruik van het Akte 1971 van Drugs „niet geschikt voor doel“ en „immoreel“ en spoorde zijn herroeping aan.

M. Brunstrom, in een rapport aan politiegezag de Noord- van Wales, beschreef de huidige Britse drugsstrategie „unwinnable“.

Hij zei: Het „misbruik van Drugs handelt 1971 zou moeten door een nieuw Akte worden herroepen en worden vervangen van het Misbruik van de Substantie dat op de legalisatie en de zorgvuldige verordening van alle substanties van misbruik op één verenigbare manier wordt gebaseerd.“

M. Brunstrom spoorde zijn gezag aan om de houding in zijn reactie op de Drugs van de Overheid te steunen: Onze Gemeenschap, Uw Say overlegdocument.

In een 30 paginadocument - het Beleid van Drugs, Radicale Look Ahead - M. Brunstrom zei: het „Britse drugsbeleid voor de laatste verscheidene decennia is op verbod met een lijst van verboden substanties gebaseerd die in drie klassen - het systeem ABC worden geplaatst - en draconische misdadige sancties voor het bezit of de levering van gecontroleerde drugs.

„Dit systeem heeft niet goed gewerkt. De onwettige drugs zijn nu in overvloedige levering, en constant in reële waarden goedkoper in de loop van de jaren geworden.

Het „aantal gebruikers is dramatisch gestegen. De misdaad van de drug is even dramatisch als direct gevolg van de onwettigheid van sommige drugs gestegen en de reusachtige winsten van onwettige handel hebben een massieve stijging van georganiseerde misdadigheid gesteund.

„Het belangrijkst, sluit het huidige systeem zowel onlogisch alcohol als tabak uit.

Een „nieuw classificatiesysteem, een' hiërarchie van kwaad dat' alle substanties van misbruik omringt en gebaseerd op geïdentificeerdei sociale kwaad, zou naar mijn mening, op het centrum van een nieuw regime van het substantiemisbruik moeten zijn - één gebaseerd op bewijsmateriaal, niet moralistic dogma.“

Belangrijkste constable, die in 2001 werd benoemd, heeft vaak kritiek voor zijn steun van snelheidscamera's en zijn taaie houding tegen verzendende automobilisten aangetrokken.

Vroeger op het jaar machtigde hij een campagne voor verkeersveiligheid die een beeld van een stervende vader van drie, Teken Gibney omvatte.

Het kwam later te voorschijn dat M. Brunstrom geen toestemming uit de verwanten van M. Gibney's had verkregen om de beelden te gebruiken.

Het onderzoek van de Onafhankelijke van de Politie Commissie van de Klachten van het gebruik van de beelden moet deze maand besluiten.

A Downing Street website petition urging the Prime Minister to sack Mr Brunstrom has gained more than 3,500 signatures.

Mr Brunstrom also urged the North Wales Authority to adopt an “affiliation” status with the charity Transform Drug Policy Foundation.

Danny Kushlick, a director of the organisation, said: “We are absolutely delighted at Mr Brunstrom’s paper.

“The Chief Constable has shown great leadership and imagination in very publicly calling for a drug policy that replaces the evident failings of prohibition with a legal system of regulation and control for potentially dangerous drugs.

“Mr Brunstrom’s call is less surprising when you consider that prohibition, and the illegal markets it creates, is the single largest cause of crime in the UK, generating £100 billion in crime costs alone over the last ten years.

“As a senior policeman he has witnessed first hand the counter productive effects of abdicating responsibility for this dangerous trade to unregulated and often violent criminals.

“His call for drug markets to be brought back within the sphere of Government control stands in enlightened contrast to the populist law and order posturing of our Prime Minister, who recently announced that ’drugs are never going to be decriminalised’.

Mr Kushlick added: “The current Government consultation on the drug strategy has inexplicably ruled out any discussion of alternatives to prohibition, despite the policy’s systematic failure over a number of decades.

“Mr Brunstrom’s paper puts these pragmatic alternatives firmly back on the table, where they should be, if a meaningful debate about ’what works’ is to be entertained.

“It is to be hoped that the Police Authority support the Chief Constable’s recommendations and that other Police Authorities seriously examine the impact of enforcing prohibition.”

Mr Kushlick set up Transform 10 years ago after working with recovering drug addicts.

He said by becoming affiliated with Transform, the Police Authority would be signing up to the goals of the organisation – “to progressively move forward to end the war on drugs”.

He said: “We are not a pro-drugs charity and we do not condone or promote the use of drugs in any way.

“We do know from experience with chaotic drug users that criminalising them and sending them to jail is expensive and does not work.”

Tory MP for Clywd West and shadow Deputy Secretary of State for Wales, David Jones said: “Mr Brunstrom has been touting these ideas for some time but I hope the Police Authority will see sense and robustly reject his proposals.

“I have read the report and what he says is drug takers and suppliers are subject to ’immoral’ policy.

“It is not a question of morality, it is a question of the pernicious effect which drug taking has on society.

“He says the way to control the situation is not to prohibit but to regulate. But in the same document he calls for cigarettes and alcohol to be brought into the classification system.

“Regulation of cigarettes and alcohol has failed to control the problems they cause, so why should regulation control the problems associated with cannabis, heroin and cocaine?

“What Mr Brunstrom should be doing is enforcing the law, aggressively and vigilantly.

“And the Government should be ensuring the resources are there to win the war on drugs.”

Councillor Ian Roberts, Liberal Democrat chairman of the Police Authority, said: “The matter will be considered in detail by the Police Authority on Monday and it would be unfair to pre-empt the debate.”
