There’s been a fair bit of discussion surrounding the whole Arrow-paying-the-police arrangement. (To make things less cumbersome, from now on I’ll refer to it as “APtheP”).
Responses to the original post have been many and varied. Most private responses have involved surprise and even outrage in some way. However, a few people I’ve listened to (or read) have taken pains to downplay the arrangement (“standard practice”, “quite normal”, “you wait ‘til it’s a real police state” etc) to such an extent that I wonder perhaps if my first post came across as a little hysterical.
Sorry. I meant only to voice some concerns and perhaps generate some more information.
So first, here’s some more information about the actual legals. Thanks to Ian Ratcliff and Sue Higginson of the Environmental Defenders Office in Lismore and Aidan Ricketts of Southern Cross University for pointers on where to find the information. (Although any errors of fact or interpretation are mine not theirs!) Again, here’s the legals.
