So you are saying that something someone posted is law? So all the posts on KB are factual?

So we are back to you assuming something, and yes Police estimating speed and you guessing about what someone did are similar.

Not really - the charges have just been thrown out.

The idiot State Policeman is lucky he's not dead, getting out an unmarked vehicle without lights or siren, failing to immediately identify himself and drawing a gun on a citizen.

Pffftt....

You've only told half the story here (What a surprise).

The problem was with people photographing sensitive buildings and sites, and the possible use of those photos by terrorist organisations, and the power to stop the photographs been taken was under an anti-terrorist enactment.

In NZ, anyone can photograph anyone or anything in a public place, as long as it doesn't breach any indecency laws.

Talking with a film crew at work yesterday and they suggested that they cant in fact do that either and that there are restrictions on filming anyone in public without consent. Will be interesting to clarify this point.

Going by all the 'scandal' pics in womens magazines I doubt there's any control on taking pics..

I kicked the neighbours dog because it's a possible terrorist.

The law regarding model releases is complex and there are plenty of exceptions.

For example, journalists can lawfully film any person in public without their consent.

Are you not assuming they're not required to identify themselves as Police, when in plain clothes, emerging from an unmarked car without lights or sirens and drawing a weapon? That'd have to be the dumbest assumption I've heard in a long time!

It seems a very popular opinion that plain clothes Police must identify themselves immediately among those who live there. Do you think you know better than them about their own laws?

So all the posts on KB are factual?

Are none of them?

No, they're not. Not even close. There's no guessing what the cop did - just watch the video!

Is that it? No argument? I guess you can't argue against it.
