    Just to put some perspective on this. You have the right, in New Zealand, to say "I am maintaining my right to silence" when question by the Police. This applies to you, me, your mate, your mother and everyone. This is the reason we have appropriate judicial law in NZ, rather than the ad-loc random legal process in Russia, Malaysia, Thailand, USA and many other countries. Want to live in a country where the answer to a Police question comes from the end of a baton ?

    Just because you may disagree with the particular circumstances doesn't dilute the process you have the option to exercise.

    The posts for death, evisceration, and avoidance of a legal process we all all entitled to, is today in NZ, somewhat sickening. Simply because of an opinion people have, publicly.

    Discussion is one thing, rampant mob behaviour because of the belief and obsession one is right, is quite sad.

    Well, hopefully she will have a fair trial, and if she is not doing just home detention and community service, she will be able to write about the life conditions in mt Eden prison.

    Thats fine, but don't cry foul when the police then exercise a search warrant to ensure they have the necessary evidence to back up a potential prosecution.
    The whinging from HDPA and Soper is not justified if they refused to speak to the police, the police are entitled to search under warrant on the basis of reasonable grounds for specified items, if a crime has been committed. Its pretty clear that that is the case.

    Whether the police choose to prosecute or not is a matter of discretion on their part, but they always do that with the consideration of the strength of their case in the first instance and then other considerations. It is quite pathetic to refuse to speak to the police and then claim that a search shouldn't have occurred as they would have provided the information required.... they had already refused...!!

    The fact is, in spite of the media dribble about this - there was no loophole, and there was no actual problem. Despite that this circus broke the law, and as Aunty Ursula points out, there is no defence of public interest for criminal activity.

    Oh I absolutely agree 100%.

    I was merely pointing out the right to silence that everyone enjoys in NZ, and exercising that right appeared to be frowned upon.

    No not at all. But to complain publicly (as a Journalist) when the Police exercise their duty and then undertake a legal search? Priceless.

    Mob Justice??? Maybe but legit firearms owners are becoming pretty sick an tired of being demonized by the Media. Mob Frustration at injustice is more like it.

    And the media world are acting as a mob as well trying to dispense their own 'bush justice' trial by media of anyone else they have a gripe against. As has been pointed out that there are cars that can go faster than our open road speed limit, drugs can be sent via the mail system, you can rob a dairy with a knife, obtain and possess a firearm illegally, drive with no WOF/Rego, .... These are not loopholes they are criminal acts and if you get caught doing any of them you should not complain. Oh the hypocrisy.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    The comments made around hanging, drawing and quartering (and public flogging in another thread) were mine and no one else's so no rampant mob behaviour at all, just a single individual whose view on such things sits somewhere to the right of Genghis Khan. I am entitled to my view and absolutely defend your right to the view you have that supports a more refined, cultured politically corrected and somewhat less barbaric New Zealand society than I would have.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I should've explained, the rampant mob behaviour that has been displayed online in multiple forums, as well as FB and blogs. Yours isn't the only one Rushy

    TV3's illegal antics

    It is not just the silly bag at TV3 who is in deep doggy poo, it is her partner in crime Garner, the TV3 exec who authorised the scam to proceed AND a certain Police Assn president who had only a week or so previously been bleating about " not knowing how crims got illegal guns"????? And, then this schemozzle occurred. I don't believe in coincidences!!! I firmly believe that this whole thing was dreamed up to try to expose a NON-EXISTENT loophole in the mail order procedure for us law abiding persons to legally obtain firearms by remote control.

    As others have stated " THERE WAS NO LOOPHOLE".

    MESSRS "SILLY BAG",GARNER ETC ETC ARE ALL GUILTY OF SEVERAL SERIOUS CRIMES & IF THE COPS DON'T PROSECUTE ALL OF THEM??? THEN I AM QUITE CONFIDENT THAT SOMEONE IN THE VICINITY OF CHRISTCHURCH WILL!!!!!

    EVERYONE: WATCH THIS SPACE. JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED EVENTUALLY.

    Beers to all law abiding firearm owners.

    Nope definitely not. Wouldn't dream of provoking anyone (except people who try to denigrate us law abiding firearm owners)
    I have been watching this subject since day one & have been in communication with some of the people involved and I know that one + one = two which makes them all guilty of fraudulently forging a police officer's name etc & the illegal use of the Arms Office stamp.

    I'm in the trade ( 20 years ) & I know that there were/are NO loopholes in the mail order system to close.!!

    I think everyone on this forum wants to see the perpetrators get their collective beans!!! If the police don't do their legal duty then the Tipple lawyer probably will ( I hope??) & from past incidents that is the most likely scenario.
    Keep watching this space!!!!

    Note: yesterdays NZ Herald had a pretty fair write up of the current state of affairs on this subject.( 3rd Dec page A15 )

    Did the fraudulent document have the Arms Office stamp on it?
