The Radical Drug Court Experiment that Could Change Everything (EP 4/4) | Ice Wars | Aus Crime

Australian Authorities are in a constant fight to stop the spread of fun. Senator Jacqui Lambie makes public her struggle to save her son, Dylan, from addiction. the Middle Easter Organised Crime Squad raid four drug houses to try break a crime syndicate. And we hear how the use of Ice is rampant in the hospitality and construction industries, as well as the military. For users trapped in the cycle of addiction and crime, drug court offers a rehabilitation program that gives non-violent offenders one last chance to stay out of jail and get clean.
This provocative series takes us to the frontline of Australia’s drug war on the drug known as Ice. Through unprecedented access, we follow the stories of Meth lab busts, front line importation arrests at the docks with Task Force Polaris, decontamination of suburbs by the cleanup crews, forensic teams tracing precursors and toxicologists investigating human impact from passive Meth cooking.

Every person who is offered a chance to change the course of their lives and does so benefits themselves...their families and their communities... 🇿🇦

Hello from Canada 🇨🇦 . This has been an incredible series. There is so much Australia has to be commended for in the fight against this insipid drug. As a Mom, I MORE than understand the burning need to help & protect our children. Yes, we will ALWAYS love them but we don't always LIKE them. I wish you every success moving forward. Every life has a purpose!!

Wastewater testing isn’t something I’ve ever heard of, intriguing!

[@htos1av]

The problem will be when it's a 5g unit ON YOUR HOME, testing in real time, like the "smart" electrical meter. The Vypper network is proprietary as well. 4th Amendment violation in the US.

I'm not surprised Jackie became a senator. She is obviously an extremely strong, determined woman. A natural leader, which after seeing a little footage of her son, he seems 2 have inherited. I think that lady could do alot of good 4 that awesome country. I went there from the UK 4 a couple of months and loved it. The people are great which makes the insidious march of ice so sad.

At 36:53… Hats off to a most patient and wise judge! The guy brought his child to show off to the court, yes, but the judge specifically. He has respect for the judge, valued his opinion. Wanted that last "clap" from the judge. I hope he managed to stay clean.

[@hanifanabukeera375]

The drug court is an amazing program. Loved joe he encouraged the addicts. I believe anyone can turn their life around with the right support system

[@Elee90Jess]

That judge is so cute and nice

[@WestyUru]

Much love to all those going thru the dark struggle " I been battling this journey for a few years now ,I moved to the far north of rural new Zealand to isolate myself from it just cause I can't get it here no no one , but all I think about is getting on the bus and going back home to score , I'm staying strong atm and I'm 3 weeks clean ,eating heaps and feeling healthy but the urge hasn't gone away yet ,..anyone who hasn't tried it yet "don't,,,or youl end up a weak person and if you had any integrity it will slowly but surely go away ..stay safe out there guys and keep pushing toward the light not the lighter"

[@debra2476]

What your "thinking" if you get on the bus, is about a drug that is controlling your life & will destroy your life. I've seen a family member go through this destruction. Masking life's 'painful memories with drugs to not "feel" is the worse way. Seek out support with positive people. Stay away from anything negative & strength will come from you being in control not the substance.

[@WestyUru]

@@debra2476 thank you , appreciate it and il keep fighting x

[@IgmuTu1]

Came across your post after watching this,and just wanted to show some support for your actions, one step at a time keep walking away, Cheers Mate ,all the best Westy, Aussie in Canada

[@WestyUru]

@@IgmuTu1 thank u so much brother

[@tammywalls3455]

Good on you I am in tauranga where this stuff is everywhere. I and 13 months clean now

[@htos1av]

Kudos to all working to overcome this scourge. I can't imagine, coffee is about as strong as I can stand...and that's a natural, nutritive substance.

[@lukeduke3001]

Big up to the mother for being proactive

[@tupoupaulonikautupou3434]

You are amazing mum

[@michaelallen3395]

It's shocking that a Countries Military Defence would ever be Allowed to talk about this on a Four Part Documentary giving every other Country Secrets. Especially about Military Drug Users on Board Navy Vessels etc.. It's seriously troubling that you would ever release that information.

[@lukedowdall5172]

It's australia they ain't as uptight as the USA and care about there citizens so want a soft approach to the subject and bring it to the mainstream rather than ignoring the problem🤷‍♂️

[@johnjoyce9075]

You are right about that 💯👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 god bless you all

[@Ben-s8y]

God bless

[@zephheine9681]

Why is new zealand not following this..

[@davidbrown4271]

They are 5 years behind , just like America is 5 years ahead of Australia lol 😂 but oz wins the award of the coolest country on the planet 🌎, it’s shaped like it is from another planet , god i miss Australia but not the cost of living there as it is so expensive with food , rent , drugs , alcohol, even more expensive than Maui hi . Well I was there 90-94 when it was dirt cheap , no gst, my weekly rent was 50 bucks a week US dollar 💵.

[@fairysnuff-000]

New Zealand has been trialling/ using drug courts for a few years now. Is that what you were asking about or was it something else from the video? Sorry if I misunderstood

[@Andrew_kiwi_AF]

@@davidbrown4271isn’t this like over 5 years old

[@angelchaffin5477]

I live in the USA and we have drug court and veterans court for the veterans

[@user-jp9wd4dd8s]

Narcotics cops in canada say they have lost the war and are concentrating on saving lives. So i guess we are on our own!

[@michaelallen3395]

Why is it only about the Guy's and their Addiction? WHY does it seem that Women have been excluded from this Series because obviously there are alot of Mother's, Sister's, Aunts even Grandmother's that have and are using that seem to have been forgotten.

[@ZomiDAvinci]

I remember ice there's a song called ice ice baby

[@paulvickers7441]

Wow, being charged for swearing. Who would actually want to live in Australia anyway? There’s about as much freedom as Amerika. No thanks

[@robbyakes8736]

WAR IS EVIL
