WEBVTT - Bonus: Probe The PoPo - Meth Labs

0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Let it Gaga, Paparazzi. This is number one hundred. Good morning.

0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:09.320
<v Speaker 1>You are on the air with Jason and Lauren Clinty

0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:11.879
<v Speaker 1>from the newsroom as well, and one of our favorite

0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:14.120
<v Speaker 1>segments is back. We haven't done it for a while, guys,

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>but just play cool. The cops are here, Lawrence, tell

<v Speaker 2>Go oh my gosh, it's like the cast of Breaking

0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:38.880
<v Speaker 2>Bad has just rolled in.

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Walter White's in the house.

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:46.919
<v Speaker 2>No, we've got detective acting Senior Sergeant Michael Kugler and

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Detective Sergeant Paul Gilmore.

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Do get all right? Good morning, Good morning guys. Yes,

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 1>you might need to take your mask if we can't

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:54.520
<v Speaker 1>he can we hear you?

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Wait, yeah, we can hear. Okay, you can keep it on.

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 2>So you, guys are just for our radio audience that

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 2>can't see you but can only hear You're in a fool.

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 2>What is that suit that you're in?

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:05.920
<v Speaker 1>This is a it's.

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 3>Called a tick suit, a week a suit. It's basically

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:13.559
<v Speaker 3>a chemical resistant and some the one I'm wearing today

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.160
<v Speaker 3>is also got some sort of fire resistance built into it.

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 3>All we want to be on fire in this suit.

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 3>We use them when we're processing the clan labs.

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.279
<v Speaker 2>So what are you doing buy busting meth labs?

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Right? Okay, So that's world to why this is good morning,

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, we're good, thanks for joining us.

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Is a hectic out be wearing?

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 1>How does this room smell? We're all good?

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 4>A little bit dodge, but we're just going to run

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 4>some test shortly, we'll see.

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 2>So you got to talk us through what you would

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 2>do day to.

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 5>Day in your job essentially, Well, it's it's pretty varied,

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 5>but we investigate locally manufactured drugs.

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 2>With victor and is it like part of my ignorance?

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 2>A scene in the movies? Are people like making meth

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 2>in bathtubs in houses and stuff? Yeah like that?

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah they are.

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 5>They're making myth in houses, and making myth in beery

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:18.800
<v Speaker 5>chipping containers, and making myth in farm sheds, garages, pretty

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 5>much anywhere you can think of.

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I think it's safe to save people. I was just

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>going to save people. Could see how this stuff is made.

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>It's the last thing they'd put in their system, isn't it.

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely?

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's all synthetic, made synthetically made. It's all chemicals,

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 4>really dangerous.

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:36.519
<v Speaker 2>And so by the time you guys get the call

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 2>to go and I don't know what you call check

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 2>out all that, have someone already found it or they like,

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 2>we're suspected that there's suspicious activity happening in this house.

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 2>And then you guys go and kick the door down.

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, pretty much. We're a bit of a one stop

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:49.519
<v Speaker 6>shop at our office.

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 4>We get the intel, we investigate it, we do the raids,

0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 4>and then we prosecute the offenders. Our process the scene,

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 4>which can be long if it's a big lab, and

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:02.400
<v Speaker 4>then we process offend.

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 1>It's just what happens to the goods.

0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 4>Well, they get taken out to a hazardous management unit

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 4>at a location and destroyed.

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Yea, we don't go let twenty percent off for the

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Christmas party. And then.

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 7>So what's happening underground here in Melbourne? We have we

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.360
<v Speaker 7>got a scourge? Is there is there a problem or

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:28.280
<v Speaker 7>is it something that's happening right the way around Australia,

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:29.400
<v Speaker 7>right the way around the world.

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 4>I think there's no secret that there's a significant drug

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 4>problem in Australia in general. You know, look at our borders.

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 4>We're an Island, so it's easy to import in here,

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 4>and there's a lot of chemicals that come into this

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 4>country which are used to manufacture methamphetam.

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 5>Very high demand in Australian prices are high, which makes

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 5>it there's a lot of incentive for people out there

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 5>to joy and manufacture drugs or in pot drugs.

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 2>So what's the worst scene you've walked into most like

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 2>you would have seen it?

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 1>All right?

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 2>Is there one thing that comes to mind you've walked

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 2>in and gone, I cannot believe what I'm looking at?

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 6>Ah?

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, there's been so that you can get everything from

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.479
<v Speaker 5>what we call addiction based really small labs, and some

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.159
<v Speaker 5>people work really neat, really methodical. Some people are really

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:27.920
<v Speaker 5>well educated. I've got science backgrounds, and some are just mayhem.

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 5>It's just stuff everywhere, contaminants everywhere. They're contaminated. Like you

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 5>take their clothes off and they're still sitting off.

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Your hiding it. It's just full blown lab.

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they're definitely trying to conceal yeah, yeah, yeah, so

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.839
<v Speaker 5>and they'll go to great lengths to try and keep

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 5>it concealed. Just stick them in like sort of industrial areas,

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.680
<v Speaker 5>rural areas to try and hide it because they can

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.600
<v Speaker 5>be pretty smelly in pretty yeah.

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 2>And so I always admire the police because obviously, you

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:03.040
<v Speaker 2>guys put yourself in real dangerous situations. Is what is

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 2>the danger that you guys are in, excuse me going

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.240
<v Speaker 2>into these labs? Is it the chemicals or is it

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:09.720
<v Speaker 2>the people?

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.720
<v Speaker 6>We can say both, like, you're right, you've got a

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:14.239
<v Speaker 6>bad batch.

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 7>The chemicals are very.

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:23.479
<v Speaker 2>Sorry coffee in the middle of that.

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 4>Anyway, The chemicals are very volatile. You mix the the

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.480
<v Speaker 4>wrong chemicals together and it's effectively a bomb.

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:40.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, explosives, flammable, toxic, cascinogenic. And then that's just the

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.280
<v Speaker 5>chemical side of the house. And then you've got an

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 5>offender who have who isn't real thrill to arrive And

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 5>then isn't real thrill?

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I was about to say, when you when it gets

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 1>to the point of a raid and you guys, you know,

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 1>slam the door and cops were coming in, do most

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 1>of them just go I'm done and give up, or

0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>they put up a fight.

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 4>Most most really will generally realize what's happening, and you know,

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.279
<v Speaker 4>it's a big shot to them when it happens. And

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:14.160
<v Speaker 4>on the big organized crime labs you could almost guarantee

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.240
<v Speaker 4>this one sort of firearm there very expensive and it's

0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.919
<v Speaker 4>very profitable, so to protect their poew.

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 6>That's going on.

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:21.840
<v Speaker 7>You both watched Breaking Bad.

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:27.599
<v Speaker 5>I only watched the first episode. I'm sure nurses don't

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 5>watch news show. Yeah, yeah, I just can't.

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.279
<v Speaker 7>Have you adapted yourselves to some of the techniques you

0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:33.360
<v Speaker 7>see on that show.

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 4>Maybe it's definitely not far from the truth breakings. Yes,

0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:47.159
<v Speaker 4>that's from our side and from from the cook side.

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:48.920
<v Speaker 6>They wear very similar stuff.

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.799
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and I think some of the methodology and chemicals

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:53.840
<v Speaker 5>they used in the show and probably didn't do us

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:55.159
<v Speaker 5>any favors as well.

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Really, what do you mean by that taught people?

0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.599
<v Speaker 5>I think it was from what I've been told was accurate.

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 5>So in terms of the process.

0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Is interesting.

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 2>It's like a YouTube lesson.

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.480
<v Speaker 1>So common I e. But how rife is it in

0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 1>our community at the moment? And is it only myth

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.400
<v Speaker 1>being made here in Australia.

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 5>It's not just me probag that way, It's not just myth.

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.640
<v Speaker 5>There are other drugs. But you can really only manufacture

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 5>synthetic drugs in Australia. If you're trying to muscle into

0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:28.560
<v Speaker 5>the heroin industry, you need a lot of plant material.

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.960
<v Speaker 5>And if you're trying to muscle into the cocaine industry again,

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 5>you need that much coca plant.

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 1>It's not going to work out for you.

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:36.880
<v Speaker 5>You're better off just importing that and it becomes a

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 5>border control issue or AFP slash border force issue. But

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 5>thick drugs like meth lanphetamine, you can get sources the

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:48.600
<v Speaker 5>chemicals here and the equipment that you need here. So

0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 5>that's what it's a big probably the largest percentage.

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:51.800
<v Speaker 6>Of the work we do.

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 2>I've been watching The Gentleman recently. Not sure if you've

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 2>seen that, but that's all about marijuana plantations. Is that

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 2>something you guys do as well? Find people with the

0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:01.840
<v Speaker 2>blue lights?

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:05.320
<v Speaker 4>No, not really in our office, that's not you.

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.400
<v Speaker 6>It's more more of a genuine local region.

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>We'll deal with.

0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Fascinated by those ones with the props greenhouse in the backyard.

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I think we're using our manpower to go after more

0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.560
<v Speaker 1>hardcore stuff lease days, aren't we'd.

0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 4>Still our crops are soilicia and they're very profitable organized crime.

0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:24.320
<v Speaker 4>We're more specialized with the.

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 6>Lab sort of set up.

0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.200
<v Speaker 2>And so do you guys only do drugs or do

0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 2>you do likeation. Do you guys only raid like drug

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:39.720
<v Speaker 2>labs or are you going to places where people are

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 2>building bombs and things as well?

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 6>We could probably would be more specific.

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:50.439
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, generally we're just targeting drug labs. What I mean, Yeah,

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:53.320
<v Speaker 8>I'm not doing if we had any sort of information

0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 8>that it was got more of a bomb flavor than

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 8>a drug flavor, and we'll probably handed off to the

0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 8>US and explosions.

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for people listening right now that are like Jesus,

0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.600
<v Speaker 1>this could be happening in my street. Is there any

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.080
<v Speaker 1>sign or telltales? Is there any telltale signs that you

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 1>might see from someone's house that might give an indication

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 1>that they're cooking something up in there.

0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 6>Generally, the chemical.

0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.440
<v Speaker 4>Smell gives it away, and a lot of people just

0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 4>write it off.

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.560
<v Speaker 1>As cleaning products and stuff.

0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 4>Or yeah it's you know, they're just the suspicious behavior around.

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Because you've got a crazy cat lady next door, but

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:33.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't see any cats.

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 5>There's a good chance she's cooked, especially if she's put

0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:36.720
<v Speaker 5>up about fifteen security cameras.

0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's funny should say that.

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.560
<v Speaker 7>I had a friend who rented out her property in

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:45.080
<v Speaker 7>Hawthorn in Hawthorne of all places. And when they evicted

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:48.319
<v Speaker 7>finally victored the tenant, they discovered it had been used

0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:50.680
<v Speaker 7>as a meth lab and you had to had to

0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.320
<v Speaker 7>gut the place.

0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:54.239
<v Speaker 1>There was powerpoints.

0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.440
<v Speaker 2>Everyone, yeahs he rented, he moved in and then when

0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.760
<v Speaker 2>he started actually looking at it properly something, it's like

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.360
<v Speaker 2>sixty power points in this room and a whole bunch

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 2>in another.

0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.840
