#ChrisFowlie goes all through a list of false positives that can occur with the government's proposed roadside drug testing tech;

"Speaking of going to the dentist, if you have some lidocaine you'll test positive for cocaine. If you're on a painkiller of some sort, you'll test positive for heroin. If you're on Ritalin you'll test positive for meth."

Chris also mentioned that the #NZGreens are fighting tooth and nail against the amendment to the Land Transport Act that would bring in this highly dodgy testing. On the basis that it violates a bunch of basic civil liberties.

Another good sign for their return to a focus on universal human rights and freedoms. On top of Kahurangi Taylor's bill on protecting satire from copyright SLAPPs, and Marama Davidson's Right to Repair bill, this makes the trifecta.

Keep fighting the good fight!
