There's a big difference in how ppl assume the Law to work and
how the Law actually works.
Like some ppl still believe that no matter what just because got
serial numbers in ballot papers, the Govt can trace how you voted
and punish you for it, be it rejecting your requests later on in
life.
This drug trafficking or for that any criminal matter, doesn't
mean you will be jailed or hanged once your caught. There has to a
proper investigation, a proper recodring of statements, witness
accounts if any. This is not China or North korea where you get
arrested this week and hanged next after being found guilty.
Of course you find drugs it's a serious matter, but it's still
the CNB or police job and then later in court, the prosecution's
job to prove it.
Whether 1 kilo or 1 gram is immaterial if it's not yours and you
came upon by chance, so long as did your due diligence. You never
check after pax leave doesn't mean you're answerable to a charge.
But if notice and picked it up and found it, then you have to do
some due diligence and report it to your company firstly or the
police. A 999 call will suffice, you no need to go, the Police will
come to you or the operator will ask you if the suspect is still in
the area, can you recognise who left it etc, if not, she will ask
you to hand over to the police. Once you call 999 it is recorded,
cannot run away from it. The call will be saved if it's subject to
a criminal matter, if not I think after 6 months or a year the tape
is re-run etc.
So don't jump the gun and start imagining wild things andlisten
to rumour.
But say, you really bo chap, find it, you never call just relax
maybe later want to handover and then suay suay kena road block and
found with it. Of course you're liekly to be arrested but the
matter will be investigated and your statement recorded, the police
will have to verify your story and check your movements. You got no
drug record, your urine negative, lie detector pass, you still
think you will be charged?
So think before imagining.
There have been cases where CNb tail a suspect and he enters a
cab, later they stop the cab arrest the suspect, of course the
driver is detained (not arrested) while the CNB check to see
whether involved or not with the suspect. You don't have the
suspect's number on your phone, your trip details show you all over
singapore ferrying passengers, you will released as was the case in
3 cases I know of.
