Things were able to get done with the lockdown.
Drug and gun supply chains were able to be interrupted.
We had a problem with organised crime. Guns and drugs coming in through the harbor.
But the ports were more closed. Things were being checked and monitored.
Who was on the roads? Why are you on the roads? Where are you going? What stuff do you have?
Our civil liberties were restricted...
But the police got a lot done in NZ. Seemed to me. People were complaining a bit about our police being seen about with guns.
But there were a number of drug raids on gang pads and things like that.
Apparently there is a shortage of methamphetamine now. They are warning people to try and cut back their usage because they can expect it might be contamminated product (and people put fillers in it)...
We can expect to see an increase in domestic violence and so on related things as people go through withdrawal.
Things like that.
It's all what the governments (or anybody really) does with the power they have got.
Trade-offs.
Hearing from the different interest groups.
Keeping things in check. It is next to impossible not to get carried away when you are on a roll. I do understand that's human nature. I suppose I might not be immune to that myself sniff. Checks and balances...
