The Police Union says judges let too many high-level drug offenders off easy.
A meth bust in Hawke's Bay and Gisborne in 2021 ended with the arrests of 15 - but only five went to jail.
Police Association president Chris Cahill says the problem is sentence discounts.
He says one person who imported 4 kilos of meth got five different discounts.
