Have you had a chain letter from William Young?

This strange message was sent to me by one William Young, he sends me lots of junk mail mainly about how bad Muslim’s are and how wonderful Israel is, to him Israel can and has never done anything wrong. Whereas Muslims do everything wrong. 

Here is what he said in his email to me, and I quote:

“You didn’t think Obama was a Muslim you will after reading this !

What would happen to the funding of the scheme if everyone became Muslims?

The word "Dhimmitude" is found in the new health care bill; so what does it mean? Thought this was interesting and worth passing on. Obama used it in the health care bill. Now isn't this interesting? It is also included in the health care law. Dhimmitude -- I had never heard the word until now. I typed it into Google and started reading. Pretty interesting. It's on page 107 of the healthcare bill. I looked this up on Google and yep, it exists. It is a REAL word. Dhimmitude is the Muslim system of controlling non-Muslim populations conquered through jihad (Holy War). Specifically, it is the TAXING of non-Muslims in exchange for tolerating their presence AND as a coercive means of converting conquered remnants to Islam. ObamaCare allows the establishment of Dhimmitude and Sharia Muslim diktat in the United States . Muslims are specifically exempted from the government mandate to purchase insurance, and also from the penalty tax for being uninsured. Islam considers insurance to be "gambling", "risk-taking", and "usury" and is thus banned. Muslims are specifically granted exemption based on this. How convenient. So I, as a Christian, will have crippling IRS liens placed against all of my assets, including real estate, cattle, and even accounts receivable, and will face hard prison time because I refuse to buy insurance or pay the penalty tax. Meanwhile, Louis Farrakhan (the Muslim) will have no such penalty and will have 100% of his health insurance needs paid for by the de facto government insurance.Non-Muslims will be paying a tax to subsidize Muslims. This is Dhimmitude. I recommend sending this on to your contacts.  All American citizens need to know about it !! Keep this going. Every non-Muslim in the United States of America needs to know about it 2. I checked out William Young’s email by going to: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2013/may/30/chain-email/dhimmitude-page-107-health-care-law-exempts-muslim/  Here is what it said… It proves how wrong Williams Chain letter was…it’s almost as if there are whole teams of people paid to misinform, lie, bullshit on behalf of religious nutcases and supporters of Zionist Israel

Says the word "Dhimmitude" is on page 107 of the health care law and means "Muslims are specifically exempted from the government mandate to purchase insurance."

'Dhimmitude' on page 107 of the health care law exempts Muslims, claims chain email

By Angie Drobnic Holan on Thursday, May 30th, 2013 at 5:40 p.m.

Have you ever heard of "Dhimmitude"? A chain email claims "dhimmitude" is on page 107 of the health care law, and it means Muslims will be exempt from the health care law.

We don’t want to keep you in suspense, so we’ll tell it to you straight: The word "dhimmitude" is not in the health care law.

We know this because of our previous reporting on the law, and also because we did a full-text search on both the main law (the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) and a companion law (the Health Care and Reconciliation Act). It’s not in either one.

What is "Dhimmitude"? Well, here’s what the email claims:

Dhimmitude -- I had never heard the word until now. I typed it into Google and started reading. Pretty interesting. It's on page 107 of the health care bill. I looked this up on Google and yep, it exists. It is a REAL word.

Dhimmitude is the Muslim system of controlling non-Muslim populations conquered through jihad (Holy War). Specifically, it is the TAXING of non-Muslims in exchange for tolerating their presence AND as a coercive means of converting conquered remnants to Islam.

ObamaCare allows the establishment of Dhimmitude and Sharia Muslim diktat in the United States. Muslims are specifically exempted from the government mandate to purchase insurance, and also from the penalty tax for being uninsured. Islam considers insurance to be ‘gambling,’ ‘risk-taking,’ and ‘usury’ and is thus banned. Muslims are specifically granted exemption based on this.

How convenient. So I, as a Christian, will have crippling IRS liens placed against all of my assets, including real estate, cattle, and even accounts receivable, and will face hard prison time because I refuse to buy insurance or pay the penalty tax. Meanwhile, Louis Farrakhan will have no such penalty and will have 100% of his health insurance needs paid for by the de facto government insurance. Non-Muslims will be paying a tax to subsidize Muslims. This is Dhimmitude.

I recommend sending this on to your contacts. American citizens need to know about it.

We turned to a reputable reference book, The Oxford Dictionary of Islam. It does not contain the word "Dhimmitude," but it does include the word "dhimmi."

The dictionary says that dhimmi is a historical term used to describe a "non-Muslim under protection of Muslim law," which could include Jews, Christians or Hindus. Adult male dhimmis were required to pay taxes and follow regulations on dress, occupation and residence. In return, dhimmis received "security of life and property, defense against enemies, communal self-government, and freedom of religion practice." The dictionary notes that dhimmi status has lost relevance in the present day because of the rise of nation-states and modern legal codes.

Some call "‘dhimmitude" the condition of non-Muslims being subject to Muslim rule, but the word seems to be a recent coinage of academics and commentators.

We won’t dwell at length on the concept of dhimmis or of dhimmitude, since neither word is part of the health care law.

The email goes on to claim that the health law specifically exempts Muslims. But that’s not the case either.

The health care law has a general exception for religious conscience (see page 128). But it does not mention any particular religion, denomination or sect. During the debate over the law’s creation, the people most often mentioned as wanting an exemption were adherents of Christian Science, a faith that prefers prayer to conventional medical treatment.

Our fellow fact-checkers over at Factcheck.org dug even deeper into the question of religious exemptions. They looked at religious groups that have filed for religious conscience objections over Social Security’s payroll taxes; the health care law defines the criteria for religious conscience exemptions in a similar way. Using a Freedom of Information Act request, Factcheck.org found in 2010 that no Muslim groups have requested religious conscience exemptions for payroll taxes.

Moreover, Ibrahim Hooper of the Council on American-Islamic Relations told Factcheck.org that he had never heard of Muslims having religious objections to health insurance. "I have health insurance. We give health insurance to our employees. Every Muslim group I know of does the same thing," he said.

Finally, we’ll note that the email claims Christians who don’t want insurance will face "crippling IRS liens" or "face hard prison time." This is also plain wrong. Members of Congress did not want the penalties for going without insurance to be too strict, so the law specifically states that people who fail to pay the penalty "shall not not be subject to any criminal prosecution or penalty" nor may government officials "file notice of lien with respect to any property" (page 131).

In fact, this email is wrong on just about everything: The word "dhimmitude" is not in the law. Muslims are not specifically exempted. And if anyone is exempted, it’s a small number of Christian groups.

For promoting absurd notions and wild fabrication, we have three words: Pants on Fire!

If you have recieved any emails from William Young I'd be most interested to hear your views...

Teina Pora...a miscarriage of justice...a police stuff up.

The Pora Case…a miscarriage of justice…or an indicator of police stupidity…you decide.

Is this but yet another example of a police operational stuff up and evidence of the police’s inability to ever admit to its obvious blunders and official cover-ups? Is because our police and the many legal people, lawyers etc., which are employed by them, are simply incompetent, poorly trained, poorly supervised and organised?

For the habit of jailing innocent people, falsifying evidence and creating false confessions appears to now be what could only be called an epidemic sized national problem.

This from a reader;

“Over the years I have been astounded at the ham-fisted approach of the police. Arthur Allen Thomas was most likely the best example. What a come down for them when they had to admit to planting the evidence!

David Bain was another. Permission for the family to raze the house was a neat way out of destroying any evidence.

Scott Watson: where the police flatly denied, the Launch-master’s evidence about a two masted boat with a blue stripe in the court.  My view is that guy would know just what he was talking about. Two masts are two masts. Scott’s boat which also had a blue stripe was single mast. Was this another example of how easily they can get out of their depth?

John Barlow: Two trials, two hung Juries. “Keep on trying him boys until we get the verdict we want?” You will note his wife stuck by him through thick and thin. If he was guilty would that have been the case? There was the case where they trumped up charge of rape against David Dougherty only to find three years later the DNA matched someone else Maybe that was an extenuating circumstance. How long had DNA evidence been available?

The ‘Tahoe’ Raid: That went off half-cocked, when they found the Terrorism Legislation was faulty, perhaps not a Police fault but still a bad look”.

My reader was kind enough to leave out a few other cases:

The Kim Dotcom over kill and illegal operation has been well documented and now the absolute shambles of the Teina Pora and Malcolm Rewa relating to the Susan Burnett rape and murder cases…

There was the shocking police behaviour when they closed the ‘Roast Busters’ case because the son of a police officer was involved in the illegal sexual behaviour with under-aged females in Auckland, go to the reference below for more shocking details.

Louise Nicholas:

Then there was the famous or infamous events surrounding the multiple mass rape [s] of Louise Nicholas by top police officers:

Returning to the latest revelations regard police behaviour and low quality investigation skills that revolve around the questioning and confession of Teina Pora gained by police investigative officers. Let’s take a closer look at the Time line relating to this case:

Teina Pora timeline

1992, March 23: Susan Burdett raped and murdered in her home in south Auckland.

1993, March 23: Teina Pora charged with burglary, sexual violation and murder.

1994, June: Pora convicted as a party to the rape and murder on the basis of confessions he made…Sentenced to life in prison.

1996, May: Rewa arrested after attacking a young woman in the inner Auckland suburb of Remuera, DNA from Rewa's father found to match semen from Burdett crime scene.

1998: Rewa eventually convicted of the rape of 27 women, including Ms Burdett but two juries fail to reach a verdict on murder.

1998, May 30: In 1998 Rewa was convicted on multiple sex charges dating back to 1987 and sentenced to preventive detention with a minimum non-parole period of 22 years. He was convicted of the rape of Ms Burdett the following year.

1999: Court of Appeal quashed Pora's convictions as a result of the DNA evidence implicating Rewa and evidence that Rewa acted alone.

2000, June: Pora was again convicted at his retrial, based on his confessions and witnesses, some of whom it later emerged were paid. His appeal to the Court of Appeal was dismissed.

2009, September: Private investigator and former police detective Tim McKinnel visits Pora in prison and is given permission to make inquiries on Pora's behalf.

2011, September: Pora team file notice of application for the Royal Prerogative of Mercy but two years later are granted an appeal to the Privy Council.

2012, May: Police's criminal profiling expert goes public in Herald with view Pora not involved; Pora's team sue police claiming it is unlawfully withholding evidence, Ms Burdett's brother says Pora is innocent.

2013, February: It is revealed police paid some prosecution witnesses.

2013, August: The Police Association call for an independent inquiry into Pora's convictions.

2014, April: Pora granted parole at his 13th appearance before the board and after spending 21 years in jail.

2014, November: Five-member Privy Council panel hears appeal.

2015, March 3: Privy Council quash convictions.

Serial rapist Malcolm Rewa:

Legal experts say Rewa could stand trial for the murder of Susan Burdett for a "very rare" third time, After 22 years in custody, the Privy Council yesterday upheld Teina Pora's appeal and quashed his convictions for the 1992 rape and murder of Ms Burdett.

The move has opened the possibilities for a retrial of Rewa. In 1996, DNA from semen at the scene linked the attack to Rewa, a serial rapist with a modus operandi of offending alone.

Here are some other references where you can learn more about the case:

• Justice after 21 years in jail: Teina Pora 'set up for new life'
• How the Herald broke the story of Pora's innocence in 2012
• Expert says Pora confessions can't be relied on
• Police failed to check rapist Malcolm Rewa's alibi

Dean of the University of Canterbury's School of Law, Associate Professor Chris Gallavin, said there was "a good chance" that the Attorney-General, on advice of the Solicitor-General, could push for a fresh Rewa murder trial.

"They will be taking a very serious and hard look at the question of the culpability of murder for Rewa. I'd like to think they would've examined this already in some detail," he said.

"What is clear from the Privy Council's opinion is that they have recognised some striking similarities, including the DNA that places him at the scene, and the signature, or trademark, of Rewa offences and the death of Ms Burdett."

Given that the two previous juries were hung on the murder charges, it meant that new evidence would not have to be brought by the Crown.

"Hung juries are different to an acquittal, and you can just start again," he said.

But he suspected Rewa's defence counsel might challenge the move for a third trial, given the length of time that has lapsed.

Dr Gallavin said it was "very rare" to be tried three times on the one charge.

A spokeswoman for the Crown Law Office today said it was "far too early" to say whether Rewa would face a third trial.

"We are reviewing the decision in consultation with the police and family members of the victim as to the issue of a retrial. That's all we can say at this time."

Private investigator Tim McKinnel told Radio New Zealand that he believed a retrial for Rewa was a possible outcome from the Privy Council's decision.

He hinted that there was more to be told about Mr Pora's case that would come out in due time.

"There are a lot of things we want to say in time about this case ... but we really need to be careful at the moment as we take the next step."

Pora in line for $2m compo

Mr Pora could be in line for compensation of around $2 million after his convictions for the rape and murder of Susan Burdett were quashed.

Mr Pora, 39, is today a free man after serving 21 years in prison for a crime the Privy Council found he was wrongly convicted of.

Lord Kerr said while delivering the decision that evidence from two medical experts that Mr Pora suffered from a form of foetal alcohol spectrum disorder - and in their opinion that could explain why he made what is now believed to be false confessions - was a big factor in the outcome.

The board will receive submissions on whether a retrial should be held over the

next four weeks.

Stuart Grieve QC - who was commissioned by the Government to assess David Dougherty's eligibility for compensation after his acquittal in 1997 - said today that Mr Pora could be in line for around $2 million in compensation.

If a retrial is not ordered, or if Mr Pora was acquitted at a retrial, he would be eligible to apply for compensation.

Cabinet guidelines specify around $100,000 for every year spent in custody.

"He's had what a lot of people would say is the best part of his life taken from him," Mr Grieve said.

"He was only 17 when all this happened... he's missed out on an awful lot."

Mr Grieve said other factors such as loss of earnings while in prison could push the figure higher while a person's actions before imprisonment could reduce the final compensation figure.

However, compensation would only be granted if Mr Pora's case made it through "significant hurdles", Mr Grieve said.

"Assume for a moment there is no order for retrial, then Mr Pora crosses that hurdle.

"The next hurdle then is the Queen's Counsel... has to be satisfied that the claimant is innocent on the balance of probabilities."

Mr Grieve said he couldn't predict how long the process could take, but said David Bain's five-year bid for compo was a bad example.

"Certainly compensation on its own after acquittal has taken some time [in Mr Bain's case], that's for sure.

"If there was no order for retrial [of Mr Pora] then I imagine the process could begin relatively quickly."

Mr Bain is seeking compensation for more than a decade he spent in jail after being convicted of the murders of his family in 1994. Advocate Joe Karam told NZME. News Service the process people were forced to go through in a bid for compensation was "absurdly unjust". He said Mr Pora's successful appeal showed New Zealand's criminal justice system needed an overhaul.

"I think we need a public royal commission of inquiry into the criminal justice system in New Zealand so that we don't have these cases happening."

He said a retrial of Mr Pora would be "ridiculous from so many points of view".

Mr Bain was found not guilty at a retrial in 2009. If he is successful in his compensation bid, it is estimated that he could receive a multi-million dollar pay-out.

In 2001, the Government awarded David Dougherty $868,728 in compensation for the three-and-a-half years he spent in jail after being wrongly convicted of abducting and raping an 11-year-old girl.

Mr Grieve said since the compensation was made to Mr Dougherty the Cabinet guidelines had specified $100,000 per annum.

To wind up this blog, it would be safe to say that when the police stuff up many people are forced to pay a price for that stuff up. Many people simply can’t replace the lost years, but what we can do is to put in place processes and procedures that will reduce the chances of massive mistakes being made. In the case of Mr Pora it was only the relentless pursuit of a police officer now an ordinary citizen who was convinced that Pora was innocent and was being railroaded into a confession. He and others stood by Pora, and we should thank God they did. We of course don’t know how many innocent people have been railroaded into doubtful confessions, refused genuine legal presentations, told lies to or misled in various ways. We would like to think that we can trust our police men and women to do the right thing. And the right thing is not to cover-up police shady behaviour, not to pretend that all is well went it isn’t, the police need to firstly ‘know the law’ secondly obey the law, and speak out when they know the law is being broken of ignored. If they had of done that then many, yes many individuals would have moved down a different path.

If I was a policeman and played some part in steam-rolling the Teina Pora case I would seriously consider departing the policing scene. Having a backbone and some ‘guts’ to speak up could have seen a different outcome in both the Tahoe Raid episode and the Kim Dotcom attack by the boys in blue dressed up like soldiers pretending they were in Iraq or Afghanistan or New York or even Israel and in all the other cases in this blog.

Let’s hope for better days, better behaviour and a little bit of community heart and a little less unenlightened and shameful behaviour for one that leads to clear and lasting hope for those who want to have faith in our very politically controlled justice system.  

Salary increase not needed says PM... Yeah Right

Members of Parliament have been given a $7,000 salary rise by the independent body that sets their pay.

The Remuneration Authority gave MPs an increase of 1.5 percent, as well as a $5,000 payment to compensate for the international travel allowance which was scrapped in January.

The changes will see the next Prime Minister's salary rise from $400,500 to $411,510, while his deputy will get $291,800, up from $282,500.

The Leader of the Opposition and the Speaker will both get $257,200, up from $249,100.

Backbenchers will receive $141,800, up from $134,800.

Authority chairman John Errington said increases in recent years have not kept up with the rising cost of living and general wage increases.

Of course all of them get heaps of other perks, housing and accommodation, transport, air travel, health care etc. etc.

Prime Minister John Key said we was also disappointed with part of the decision to increase MP's pay. He said he was happy with the 1.5 per cent increase because that was roughly in line with what the rest of the country got, but he said there was little need for the $5,000 to compensate for the scrapping of the travel allowance.

Talk about jelly-beans and bullshit and media manipulation; we’ve just had the finest example of Hollywood style crap presentation and a thick brained idiotic acceptance of medias first rate clap-trap. Which was fed to readers and viewers in the name of democracy and freedom?  It’s the kind of PR driven crap which the NZ public consumes on a daily basis… The PM fed the media a line of bull so obvious that a ten year old would recognised it as such from a hundred yards. But our media stayed blind, deaf and dumb as well as being one eyed.

The PM didn’t want MP’s to get a salary increase…yeah right.

He waits until the commissioner is about to announce what the increase will be…the very day…and he goes to the media and says that he asked, no begged; the commissioner not to give MP’s a lift in salary…as the law requires him to do. He doesn’t have a choice.

The PM knows this but still goes through the completely bogus motion of pretending he is against the possible increase, and wants MP’s treated the way public servants are treated. And he pleas for the commissioner to do the decent thing…he says this as he wipes the self-induced tears from his eyes. He is the finest B/S artist in NZ maybe even the world…

The media simply love and adore his Hollywood style drama style ‘Queen’ presentation. National Party clones like…Paul Henry, Mike Hoskins and the NZ Herald absolutely perspire with delight at this display of frustration by an emotional PM as they offer him a tissue or two to wipe the invisible tears from his pink cheeks, this proves they say, that he is just one of the crowd…a good Kiwi bloke…yeah right…if you believe that then you’ve got rocks for brains. He could have simply turned up at work on Thursday morning and retrospectively changed the law…but alas he didn’t do that, instead he bluffed and huffed like a miniature Snow-white.

The PM knows full well that the increase will be granted…because under the law the commissioner has no choice. He does his crying leader act on a Thursday, a day on which he won’t be in the house to answer any questions on the issue [He almost never goes to Parliament on a Thursday, he needs the rest after two days in the house [Tuesday and Wednesday].

This last Tuesday and Wednesday have been like days from hell for the PM…he has ramped and raved, swore and stamped his feet, has bull-shitted his way around sending troops to Iraq without the support of Parliament, tried to explain his various falsehoods about the Sky City give away and the resignation of ex-Northland National MP and chair of the Law and Order Committee and super anti-family-violence campaigner Mike Sabin, who’s name cannot be mentioned in Parliament…and if you do that great protector of the PM the Speaker will leap to his feet and shut you up, yet the PM can call others, cowards, gutless, spineless, and the speaker always finds a reason to allow that to happen. I sometimes feel that the Speaker and the PM are in some sort of relationship…father and son, husband and wife…or some other variation on that theme, but it’s not hard to recognise which one is the boss…

A new way of recruiting CEO’s, senior management, and other positions paying more than the living wage is discussed in the following blog: 

https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=918672081160600879#editor/target=post;postID=5802655592119857641;onPublishedMenu=posts;onClosedMenu=posts;postNum=320;src=postname  

Another method that would be fair is never to pay increases other than in money terms rather than percentage terms…5% of half a million is a hell of a lot more than 5% of the minimum wage. What you do is always increase salaries or wages from the bottom up…for example if the bottom level got an increase of say 5% which equals say $500 per year…then everyone above the bottom point receives $500…this maintains the gap between positions. This would of course hold the gap that now exists between people.While new ways of reducing top salaries...as per the link above for example.

The gap between the bottom and the top has been growing at a massive rate and a 50 cent increase in the legal minimum hourly rate for those over eighteen years of age, workers under that age could be paid as low as eleven dollars.

If we fail to take action then we should expect a violent reaction sometime in the not too distant future…    

Palmerston North Police use 'weird' interrogation practice,

“A very dear friend sat on his sun porch and pondered his adventurist past, looking back he realised that many long years had passed by, in fact many of them had been very exciting, especially since he had been at the forefront of the very meek and virtually non-violent [by today’s standards] Terrorist movement in Scotland…who were seeking justice from their English long term slave masters.

He was of course young back then, but he had a love for Scotland, his much loved highland home. And he shared willingly in a little nationalistic mischief behaviour… and was in the end forced to depart the local scene.

He headed to Europe, Germany in particular and started an adventure which included working for the American military and that in itself was just a little ironic he thought…from there he ended up in the United States and after being educated at university he commenced working amongst the world of books, a librarian no less.

This saw him slowly but progressively edge his way south until he crossed the massive Pacific Ocean and end up in Palmerston North.

He had left a country where the police were a mixed bag, in fact it was often thought and portrayed in movies that they were more corrupt than the local bad guys. He had arrived in a country that he thought held police behaviour to be non-corrupt and he preferred this belief. But was or is his belief correct?

This man was also one of rare breed of people who understood what the word politics meant to people in their everyday activities…in fact besides being employed in various roles ranging from Massey University to editor of one of our local papers his participation in community collective activism continued to grow. He believed in justice, real justice not pretend justice.

But by now he he was paying dearly for a childhood living in the shocking and disgusting damp slum housing of Scotland. His life up to this point had been both exciting and sometimes emotionally rewarding but alas, his past health problems were catching up with him.

But when in December 2014 a couple of police persons paid him a call…and asked him to give a hand writing sample, for It would appear that someone had sent threatening messages to staff, or someone at the PNCC, and it would seem they must have brought the matter to the attention of the local police, who in turn had somehow or other linked the hand written letter/note/ to him. I don’t think he was ever told the actual connection..

Our gentle and unsuspecting suspect, which is what he must have been for the police to have even connected him to the ‘threatening’ message…somebody must have brought up his name, and this appears to have turned this very gentle and unwell person into a suspect of the highest order. We all know today how easy it is to brush others with the broad and misused term ‘terrorist’ or some such other equally stupid title. While the police behaviour may not be actually stupid in this case it must come close...

But the strangest part in this police exercise in 'weird' interrogation practice, was what they asked him to actually do…which was to write a ‘confession’ confessing to the writing of the letter to the council’, now I know that is hard to comprehend, but according to him that is exactly what took place. [It's looking more like stupid as we learn more.]

Naturally he was taken aback by this most unusual request from the boys [and girls] in blue, in fact he was so shocked by this outrageous behaviour that he wrote to the Independent Police Conduct Authority to lay a complaint about what he considered the shocking and illogical approach and practice of the local police.

He saw this strange behaviour as simply a process of possible entrapment by collecting so-called dummy confessions’ under the guise of collecting specimens of peoples handwriting for investigative purposes. And I must admit I was inclined to agree with his point of view.

His letter of complaint to the IPCA brought a response and the local Police in the shape of a Detective Senior Sergeant was dispatched to talk about the complaint to see if he would be happy to accept the Police Departments explanations of its behaviour. He asked me to join him in this discussion and I willingly agreed. That took place on the 23^rd of December 2014.

Around the middle of February my friend received a reply from the local area commander for the PN region. It was a very interesting letter firstly it states that the process of obtaining hand writing samples that the police take is not entrapment…in their view, they give no legal opinion. But the letter writer agrees that senior-management [police] will look at the process, to ensure that entrapment cannot occur…lastly the local commander gave an assurance the the process used was properly followed. He based that on what a police person wrote in his/her case notebook.[One assumes that what was recorded was correct and balanced, how does one check?]

Nowhere in the police reply did they concede that the language used was in the form of a confession…this of course was the main basis of my friend’s complaint. In fact they avoid reprinting exactly what was said during the interview by the two visiting police officers on the 8^th of December 2014 other than to talk about the notebook entry.

The purpose of this blog is to seek feedback from those in the legal profession about the process used by the police…and to answer the more serious question about the police behaviour and that is “how can you seek a handwriting sample without somehow informing the person involved of why and on what grounds you selected him for this style of weird questioning used by the police and lastly could this evidence be used in a court of law.

So if you have an opinion please get in touch via my blog site or email me at wheeler@inspire.net.nz
