New Zealand: Pot campaigner lights up at police station Kate Newton Dominion Post Thursday 21 Jan 2010 Al Mansell said he did several spots of cannabis oil on the steps of the station on Tuesday, using a bunsen burner he set up on a small folding table. After a member of the public alerted police inside the station, Mansell was arrested and charged with possession of cannabis and possesion of utensils Mansell said he rebuked the officers who arrested him, demanding to know the whereabouts of his "neenish tart and flat white". Senior Sergeant Brett Callander said Mansell was out of luck. "We don't serve neenish tarts in the cells if that's what he was wanting." He had clearly intended to be arrested, Mr Callander said. "If you do something on the steps of the police station it's obviously a publicity stunt." After he was granted bail, Mansell posted footage of the stunt and his arrest, filmed by a friend, on YouTube. Mr Callander said police "may well" use the one-minute clip as evidence. Mansell will appear in Wellington District Court on January 27, when he intends to plead not guilty. "I'll just drag it through the court and take as long as possible." http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/local/3251510/Pot-campaigner-lights-up-at-police-station
