Wellington v Hawkes (RS)

it's very easy to not find stuff if you decide not to look in the first place

@Stargazer said in Wellington v Hawkes (RS):
@KiwiMurph If there had been illicit substances on the Shield, it would have been detected. Those tests are very sensitive and can pick up even small traces.
That's a total assumption made by you without knowing how their testing works or when they tested.
Look at the very particular wording they have used.
there was insufficient evidence from both testing and the investigation to determine what the white substance shown on the shield was -

If you test for illicit drugs (which is what they did), it will only be capable of finding illicit drugs (if traces are present).
In that case, it won't find what they aren't testing for. Maybe they didn't test for Plaster of Paris or talcum powder or whatever else. And that also doesn't really matter, as long as the substance wasn't illicit drugs.

Fuck man, snorting talcum powder is a bit desperate, even for bogans from Hawkes Bay

The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.

If OJ Simpson was a ferner he’d raise an eyebrow at this post

This is getting stupid, unless James O'Reilly supplied the players before they got on the bus back to the Bay there was no way it was coke. You can't find coke in the Bay.
100% agree with this.
I always assumed it was Speed. -

Great flick.
For some reason (or two ) I distinctly recall Jamie Lee Curtis in this in amongst some outstanding 80s comedy.
I’d have to get Stargazer to confirm but if they’re testing for Heroin and didn’t find any there’s a good chance it could have been PCP or Angel Dust on the Shield.
For shame Bay, FOR SHAME.
