Cornish Cops confirmed this week that they’ve spent Ł8,000 on a portable police toilet, in an attempt to catch more people concealing drugs inside their bodies.

The ‘Frost Machine’ device is a mobile police cell with special toilet, in which suspects will be locked for up to eight days, until ‘nature takes its course’, the Metro newspaper reported this week, at which point cops can examine people’s waste at leisure.

The device is being trialled in the West Country region and could be adopted elsewhere which could prove troublesome for those with black marks on their record (deserved or otherwise). Hard house DJ Lisa Lashes told Skrufff recently that she’s now virtually continually harassed by airport officials, after an over-zealous fan slipped 2 ecstasy pills into her record bag two years ago, which were subsequently found by New Zealand customs.

“I’m going to China, Australia and New Zealand next week and I know that
I’ll be strip searched, I always am,” she told Skrufff last October, “Not so much in Australia but in New Zealand I definitely will. They’ll get the vacuum out on me,”

“Yeah, I said ‘vacuum’,” Lisa confirmed, “Whenever I get to passport control these days I just say ‘hi’ and start taking my clothes off, obviously when I go through passport control a little bell goes off,” she chuckled.

In more intimate news, 59 now ex US judge Donald Thompson went on trial this week charged with four counts of indecent exposure and could face up to 41 years in jail in convicted. Mr Thompson is accused of using a penis pump under his black rob during two murder trials in 2003, according to complaints made by two court stenographers. The North Country Gazette said jurors at the trial told cops they heard ‘whooshing noises’ from the judge’s bench during the trial. The case continues.
