Road side drug testing infringements
Katy B made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police
Currently waiting for a response from New Zealand Police, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).
From: Katy B
Tēnā koe,
I am very interested in the roadside drug testing that has been rolled out in Wellington. I note a release today stating that seven infringement notices have been issued.
I request, under the Official Information Act 1982:
- A breakdown on whether the seven infringements announced on 20/2/26 were due to a positive drug result or refusal of a drug test
- If positive, a breakdown on which substances led to an infringement
- How many, if any, infringements had a medical defence
- Any comments on how rolling out standardised roadside drug testing may unfairly disadvantage medicinal cannabis users.
I really appreciate all of your important mahi and look forward to your response.
Ngā mihi nui,
Katy B
