Quoting Darcy:

Remember, that the police officers will be supervised during this process, just as it is done in any police force.

And leitao will fly.

Quoting Rev:

Some one should now be named,The number of bails should be counted daily to avoid official pilfering. and publicly be made responsible, and accountable, for the safe keeping of this haul until it has been seen to be destroyed. The number of bales should be counted and reported daily to prevent pilfering.

Seems like both of you are overcome with envy as the police "and rightfully so" have to legally dispose of these drugs.

Damned annoying to the 'Police' that some early morning dog walker reports the boat (with social media piccies?) so inconveniencing a tidy earner for some of the lucky lads. Now a non-Portuguese speaking low life must swing for something they know nothing about. Their signature on a backpacker residencial booking form, when copied over to a statement admitting their full involvement, enough to 'solve the crime'.
