Lets get this straight – if a man breaches a protection order by phoning or arriving at his child’s home he is locked up forthwith – without exception – and deemed to have committed a criminal act.
If I swear at a Police man – or park too long somewhere – I will suffer the consequences and be towed away.
If a boy racer intimidates anybody anywhere anytime – he is ticketed and warned several times prior to any legal action being taken at all. Then he can accumulate $1000s of fines and not pay them back
If a P or alcohol fueled teenager or adult can terrorize his or her family- he is not necessarily locked up – that would be anti-democratic.
If I am a cop in NZ – I can have my lips bitten off.
If a terrorist decides to blow up the Auckland Harbour Bridge and the only equipment he has so far managed to get together is a pair of pliers but apparently that is evidence enough- he can be locked up immediately. Or at least have a SWOT team mobilised.
If I want to wear a patch on my back in certain towns in NZ – I am not allowed.
If I want to have input into my Local Board next year with the Super City amalgamation – I may not be allowed.
The list goes on.
Are you confused? I am.
