Below is set out a fact scenario. You are instructed to consider what drugs, firearm, and road traffic offence the main characters, Shaun, Gus and Lassie (and only those characters), have (or may have) committed with the usual focus on the most arguable most serious offence. You should also consider timing issues where relevant, providing an analysis when the elements of an identified offence were met (or perhaps, depending on your view, when the strongest argument for those elements being met can be made). Consider only 1 firearm and 1 traffic offence. Not all characters will necessarily have committed all types of offences. Consider the excuse of duress. Do not consider other offences, excuses or defences. Only consider Western Australian offences.

SCENARIO 'COAST TO COAST PSYCHICS' Shaun was a fun-loving type. His best friend Gus was a bit more serious. Shaun was forever chasing the girl of his dreams. It was just that who that girl was changed from week to week. Gus was Shaun's perpetual wingman. One evening, at a bar in Northbridge, Shaun saw Jules. Shaun was instantly in love. This girl was for sure the one. Unfortunately Jules was flirting with a man named Lassiter, although everyone called him Lassy for short, mostly because he hated it. Although Jules was flirting with Lassy, Shaun was not deterred. He went up to them and struck up a conversation. "Hey baby" said Shaun, "Is your Dad a thief?" Jules was offended. "No!" "Oh," replied Shaun, "Then who stole the stars and put them in your eyes?" Shaun thought he was a very smooth talker. Gus knew Shaun wasn't at all a smooth talker, and yet somehow Shaun's cheesy lines worked. In Gus' view that was mostly because Shaun selected women who had clearly had too much to drink. Jules seemed quite sober, however, so Gus waited for Jules to throw her drink over Shaun. To Gus' surprise, she didn't. Instead Jules replied "Oh you're so sweet! Here, carry my drink for me, let's go sit over there". Jules pointed to a cosy table. Shaun thought his pick-up lines were great. He also knew he was unbearably handsome, and women found him irresistible. Shaun was therefore not surprised. Lassy and Gus, both disgruntled, followed Shaun and Jules to the table. "Hey, look" said Jules, "I work for a new car rental company called 'Coast to Coast Psychics'. No idea what the psychic part of the title is about. I think the boss went to see a Tarot reader once. Anyhoo, we are all about car hire. We specialise in one way travel, so there's lots of driving the cars to country towns and picking the cars up and that sort of thing. But I'm really stuck right now..." Jules twirled her hair and rolled her shoulder coquettishly. Shaun was star struck. Gus mimed vomiting into his pint glass. Jules continued, really leaning into her newfound cute mode "You couldn't dwive poor little Julesy's car to the countwy for me could you? Do poor Julesy a big favour and she would owe you, big time?" Gus really did need to vomit now, so he ran to the toilets to be sick. Lassy sat in stony-faced silence. By the time Gus returned, all the details had beenthrashed out. Shaun would drive from Perth to Albany (which meant Gus would drive, because Shaun had lost his licence). They would not stop except for brief toilet breaks on the side of the road. Jules and Lassy would follow them so they could pick them up in Albany and drive them back to Perth. Jules explained that she had lost her licence and she was trying to keep that fact hidden from her boss. So Lassy would drive her. Shaun thought that was a sign that Jules was absolutely the one. They both had lost their licence! So amazing. The following day the four of them set out for Albany. Gus drove with Shaun as his passenger, followed by Lassy driving with Jules as his passenger. Gus and Shaun were oblivious to what was really happening. In the boot of the car, stashed in the spare tyre, were drugs. A lot of drugs. So when they pulled into Williams Woolshed for Shaun to try one of their famously delicious pies, they were very surprised when Jules and Lassy got very angry. \"We are on a tight schedule you stupid pair of schmucks!\" Lassy yelled. Get in the car and go!\" \"OK ok sure sure no worries, | just need the loo!\" Shaun said, still oblivious, happily running off to the toilet before either Jules or Lassy could say anything. While he was gone, Lassy pulled out his gun before Jules could stop him. \"Listen here, you little shit.\" Lassy was speaking mere millimetres from Gus' nose. \"As soon as your friend gets in back, no more mucking around. You get in the car and drive. No more of this crap or I'll shoot you so hard this bullet will go right through you!\" Gus thought about saying that bullets have a tendency to go through people, and in any event you couldn't really shoot someone hard, you just sort of shot them and that was it. But Gus decided now was not the time for semantics. Or physics. Now was the time to do what he was told. Something was seriously wrong. You didn't get a gun pulled on you for a slightly slow car delivery. What was really going on was something Gus really really didn't want to know. And he knew Shaun wouldn't cope. So when Shaun got back Gus said nothing, he just quietly bundled Shaun into the car and they drove off. Jules was furious with Lassy and refused to get in the car with him. She told him to continue and pick her up on the way back, if she was still there. Lassy continued on his own, although Shaun and Gus, in the car already, didn't notice. Shaun thought Gus was unusually edgy, so he got out his phone and streamed some music. Shaun had subscriptions to all the music streaming services. Shaun rolled up a 'spliff' (a sort of marijuana cigarette) and started to smoke, merrily singing Taylor Swift out of tune. Gus was very tense. \"Shut up Shaun!\" he said. Shaun merely grinned and sang (badly) \"Haters gonna hate hate hate\". Shaun kept smoking. He put his feet on the dashboard and took his seatbelt off so he could unbutton his shirt. Shaun liked to smoke with his shirt unbuttoned. It was one of the many things that made him super-cool. Unfortunately, it also made him quite noticeable to the Police, who spotted them and waved for Gus to pull over. Gus panicked. He sped off as fast as he could. At one point he reached 160km / hr. The speed limit was 110. The Police gave chase, helicopter overhead. Gus lost control of the vehicle. It was a very safe car however, with lots of air bags. Gus and Shaun only needed a brief stay in hospital. However, the Police came to visit them and informed them that their stay in hospital might be short, but their stay in prison was going to be considerably longer. The Police had found the drugs in the spare tyre of the boot. They found: 500 grams of ALPHA-METHYLFENTANYL 1.25 kilograms of METAMFETAMINE e 200 grams of PARAQUAT e 10 grams of COCAINE The Police also tested the 'spliff' that was still in Shaun's mouth at the time of accident and it was found to contain about .5 grams of cannabis. Shaun and Gus explain everything to the Police. The Police find Lassy but they find no trace of Jules. Lassy has no drugs on him, but he does have a gun. Itis a Smith and Wesson Model 350. The trigger doesn't work and Lassy has no bullets. And before you ask, whilst there will possibly be some minor mistake in grammar or the flow of the story, the spelling of all the substances is deliberate and is not a mistake
