the law is looney.
Why is it a problem to drive with my alcohol.
I’m not drinking it.

Its a bit like drug-smugglers at airports. For every one caught, there are ten who get through.

BTW, its a great way to settle personal vendettas: Inform on someone, and you have one less competitor...

Just because. Enough said. Get in line else face your fine and possible jail time!

Pretty much exactly like that... One caught, 10 blue light vehicles with boxes of illicit smokes travel through :d

EWC, I wonder, if I go buy illegal bottle of alcohol, and the SANDF confiscate it from me, and then the police takes it from the army. Would I be able to buy exactly the same bottle the next day, or the cop would've drank it

I have long since given up in trying to work out a rational explanation for a lot of these lock down regs...

To be honest, i've heard that the police in certain areas are actually selling cigarettes... So pretty much sure that this situation would be a possibility somewhere in SA.

How long before they decide it's ok to go into your house and "confiscate" all alcohol and cigarettes that you bought before the lock down started?

If cigarette sales spread coronavirus, prove it – tobacco association | Fin24

The public comments on the "ills of smoking" have not been "adequately linked" to the fight against Covid-19, says the Fair Trade Independent Tobacco Association.

So daft, being arrested for less than a 6 pack, obviously possession with intent to distribute
