Aimee Cottle made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police
The request was successful.
From: Aimee Cottle
Dear New Zealand Police,
If someone successfully claims a medical defence for medicinal cannabis after failing a roadside drug test, what impact will it have on people applying for Duty Manager certificates or when it comes to renewing them? Will the police oppose their application or renewal?
Yours faithfully,
Aimee Cottle
