Default Well known London DJ arrested for drugs and porn...

anyone interested in dance music at all will know DJ Grooverider, one of the main drum and bass DJs.

http://archive.gulfnews.com/nation/P.../10172226.html

I don't think he has quite the same friends in high places as Dallas Austin... that's pretty sad (and of course completely stupid for him to have grass and porn on him...)

The usual scentence seems to be 4 years... for some spliff and a naughty video....

I am interested to know the quantity of drugs. I bet you it's less than a gram. I also bet you that it was so small he didn't know it was there.

I may be wrong - but I believe that most drug arrests at Dubai airport are not intentional - i.e they had a few spliffs in a Amsterdam coffee shop or whatever and a tiny amount remained somewhere.

And for this you get 4 years. It too much, really it is. Idiot or not, porn or not - if that grass was an tiny amount then 4 years is barbaric.

And I'm not too fussed about Grooverrider exactly - there is loads and loads of examples like this...

There needs to be a sliding scale, a judgement on each case rather than 4 years... it's too much.

Ok 4 years for 20 exctasy or a gram of coke - but for a speak of grass... too much.

(PS I have no idea how much he had on him - I guess it was small)

yeah - sometimes things need to be repeasted to get through some peoples think heads...

I said.... too much, much too much...

You done too much much too young
You're married with a kid when you could be having fun with me
You done too much much too young
Now you're married with a son when you should be having fun with me

Don't wanna be rich, don't wanna be famous

Ain't he cute, no he ain't
He's just another burden on the welfare state

Call me immature, call me a poseur
I'll to spread manure in your bed of roses
Don't we wanna be rich Don't we wanna be famous
But I'd really hate to have the same name as you

You done too much much too young
Now you're chained to the kitchen making currant buns for tea

Ain't you heard of the starving millions
Ain't you heard of conraception
Do you really wanna go with the sterilization
Take control of the population boom
It's in your living room
Keep a generation gap
Try wearing a cap


and breathe....

Too much? I dont think so. How hard can it be to pack your bags and make sure there are no drugs in it? Come on its not exactly rocket science. I think anyone who "thinks" they can get away with it on lieniency "deserves" to get busted. If the UKs laws were not so lienient it would be a better place.

Hey lets leave the porn out of it!

But yes no drugs and tougher punishment in general would make the UK a better place.
