Dakta Green in Court
Veteran cannabis campaigner Dakta
Green is back in court on June 23, representing himself to
defend what he calls false and malicious charges.
He is accusing police of manufacturing evidence and pursuing a vendetta against him in an effort to derail his cannabis law reform activities. His latest cannabis charges stem from the April 22 raid on the motel unit where he was staying during his trial on charges arising from the June 2012 police raid on the Daktory. At the conclusion of this trial he was convicted and received a 28 month prison sentence.
Dakta Green accuses police of wrongfully using Section 18 of the Misuse of Drugs Act to search his motel unit, and of improperly using an alleged informant to entrap him.
The defended hearing begins at 10 am in Auckland District Court on Tuesday June 23.
