With the implementation of Food Bill 160-2, massive new powers, including powers of arrest, will be given to "food safety officers", who can be members of the private sector. That means employees of Monsanto could be authorized to conduct raids. Worse, they will be given immunity from criminal and civil prosecution for any acts during those raids. Even marae, communal and sacred places, will be subject to their actions. Warrants will not be required so there will be no need for evidence of a crime, meaning anyone could be raided at any time...and there will be no recourse, no matter how egregious their acts.
