Thread: How's this for a deterrent ?

My reference to the "cunstabulory" is directed to the office, the leadership (that sets the standards) & union rep rather the cop on the beat.
I agree @phil H the average cop is doing his/her best often in very difficult and stressful situations.
However there have been too many serious failings by the police - just take a read of the other couple of threads on here at present.

The elected representative of NZPA lies continually.... always with an ulterior motive or agenda to feed.
The incident last week when a senior Auckland D decided the law did not apply to him and drove thru the Auckland L3 border with several others in his car.
And least we forget - the issue of a FAL to a terrorist.

Ignore this behaviour & the disregard/contempt for the rule of law? .... at our peril.

Worried about home invasions = drug dealer worried about standovers.

"pleaded guilty to intentional damage with a firearm, unlawful possession of a firearm, and unlawful possession of explosives." And gets home D.....

This story almost made me puke. These scum should have been jailed for many years. FFS, this is attempted murder of a family. These kids will be psychologically damaged for life and these pieces of snot get no more punishment than a hungry shoplifter. The judge should lose his job immediately as surely the justice system could have no confidence in his ability to uphold the law. Much sympathy to the family.

We don't hear much from the Sensible Sentencing Trust these days but here is the perfect ammunition.

Up is down. Down is up.

Good is bad. Bad is good.

This is where we're at now.

Very true, its like anything and everyone, there are bad teachers, doctors, pick any profession or Government department. But getting back to the main point, the Judicial system in this country is a complete joke and a slap in the face for victims of crime.

Gotta agree, I am surprised the driver of the family car didnt loose control and crash. We need some Singapore justice here, Home D plus 2 x 5 strokes of the lash a month apart.

Does anyone know if there exists a legal mechanism for the public to sue to remove unfit Judges?

Between this case and the one in Taranaki which was attempt murder at least (+ intent to injure and multiple assault charges on Police, including canines) some of the judiciary are patently unfit for the office.

Must be a way to cut some of the chaff surely?

A fair amount of public outrage expressed at this site.................. https://tinyurl.com/ydubqgzw

"Justice Ian GAULT has been a High Court Judge for less than three years. I only hope is that he will never attain four years in Office.



Justice Gault graduated with an LLB (Hons) from Victoria University in 1987 while employed as a Judges’ Clerk for judges of the High Court and Court of Appeal. In 1988 he travelled to the UK to study, graduating with an LLM from the University of Cambridge in 1989 and joining the London office of international law firm Clifford Chance in the same year.


In 1993 he returned to New Zealand and commenced practice at the Auckland office of Bell Gully, joining the partnership in 1997. He specialises in commercial dispute resolution and regulatory proceedings, with particular experience in trade practices, intellectual property, international trade, insurance, cyber security, public law and trusts.


Justice Gault was also admitted as a solicitor in New South Wales in 2001 and is a Commissioned Officer (Major) in the New Zealand Defence Force Reserves. He is a co-author of Gault on Commercial Law. He is also a regular faculty member on the New Zealand Law Society’s Litigation Skills Course and was Director in 2016.

They still actively publish a decent number of press releases, unfortunately the media chooses to give them little to no coverage.

We are being overwhelmed by "Educated Idiots" they will be the death of civil society.

That's a bloody good question.
