I am not suggesting that your interpretation of the law is incorrect just that you are describing how things should happen. I am describing how things do happen in the real world.	CliveM (6007)

I am describing how things do happen in the real world. sorry, your simply wrong. plenty of cases in the media to prove it. the classic one was the maori occupation that the govt wanted moving on, but police told them no. big write up on powers of police. plus there is tons of cases where police publicly go against govt. your forgetting that police are setup independent so govt cannot tell them what to do. govt makes the laws, police interpret the laws and police them how they see fit. remember the on/off "focus on burglary", the incorrect interpretation of firearm laws (courts over ruled the police) and of course the infamous "there is no domestic violence in nz".	tweak'e (69)

I am not about to enter into another protracted argument with you tweak'e. At a guess you are still convinced Jacinda can keep Covid out of NZ.	CliveM (6007)

1486640	2022-06-06 06:42:00	Regarding the firearms laws Police are actively trying to force them to be changed or at least Police leaders are and yet that isn't their remit Too true Gary the police should just enforce laws not lobby to change or make them. NZ police have a terrible record with guns they are better off without them. I was caught in the traffic near Western Springs in my hydraulic hose truck a few years ago when the plods fired at someone missed, hit an innocent Sri Lankan courier driver stopped in the traffic killing him. The pig involved didnt even get prosecuted. One rule for them another rule for us if we fire and miss or mistake the target. Another one was Waitara where I go seagull racing every year the feld polizei shot and killed a mentally disturbed person guy with a golf club, he could have just backed off and at worst shot him in the leg but no he escaped prosecution as well and was promoted to Sgt .Its not a privilege in NZ to own guns and get a firearms license its civilian right just like getting a drivers license. The NZ police really dont want anyone to own guns except themselves and they stall out the licensing and relicensing as a result of this. This can solved at the ballot box next elections.	prefect (6291)

And please , stop all this shoot him in the leg nonsense . Shot to kill or dont shoot all at . Lets see how these 'shot him in the leg" people respond in the same circumstances . After years of being bashed about by crims , after years of seeing there mates badly beaten or killed by crims . Why should the Police risk getting themselves badly beaten up or killed with a screwdriver(that happened) . So shot to kill . If you are on a rampage , dont expect nice treatment . And the cop who accidentally shot the wrong person, he didnt get away with it. He made a mistake , trying to do his job . Dont persecute him not not being perfect under extreme pressure , trying to protect the public from an armed crim on the loose . There was alot going on when he shot the wrong person .	1101 (13337)

Cops should be under the same laws as citizens no get of jail with firearm mistakes.	prefect (6291)
