Exam question of the day: The police

Today’s question was prepared by the Tumeke blog and asks:

Do we really want a Police force that turns up on your doorstep at night and asks how you intend to plea in a case while threatening more charges if you plead innocent?

Do we?

  1. No, we wouldn't want that. Such behaviour could be dealt with under S116 of the Crimes Act (Conspiring to defeat justice) I would have thought, if there was proof and a will. Unless, are the police above the law now?

    The 'Return of the walking city' on the Auckland Transport blog reminds me of one of my favorite online videos of the good old days before big govvernment: http://www.snotr.com/video/4547/San_Francisco_in_1905

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
