Waatea News Column – Fighting the Police when you can’t see the evidence
I’m in the news this week. I have an ongoing case against the NZ Police in front of the Human Rights Review Tribunal regarding the Police breaching my privacy and my civil rights when Police gained access to my banking records minus a warrant.
The case was part of the flawed Nicky Hager prosecution and it’s taken 5 years to finally get in front of the only Court who can actually hold the Police to account, so imagine my shock and surprise when I learned last week that the Police want to do something never done before at the Human Rights Review Tribunal and hold a secret trial using secret evidence that I can’t see or defend myself against.
The absurdity of fighting a case at the Human Rights Commission against an abuse of power by Police in a secret trial using evidence you can’t defend yourself from is the very definition of a Kafkaesque nightmare.
It is astounding that left wing journalists, bloggers, activists, Māori, Environmentalists, MANA Party, Greenpeace and Green Party all have to accept our erosion of civil rights, yet white supremacists manage to avoid any detection at all.
My case against the Police is set to be fought in July.
Lawyer up and stick it to them Martyn.
Good luck.
You can hardly recognise NZ as a place of justice anymore! When you see who the MP’s hang out with these days and toady up to, it says a lot about how they are operating and what they believe in which is money, money, money. (Wealth for a few people of course, the masses get just enough to survive on, hense the breaking down of the middle classes throughout the Western world)
Political interference, john key, ANZ and other Ozzie banks as a cartel and not initially police driven. NZDF links with US.
They are doing as the are told yet should disobey any unlawful direction or suggestion as to their function.
There is corruption here quite plainly across a number of individuals in politics and Police. They need to be weeded out publicly.
When a few at the top of Police are in the game where do we turn to sort that out.
Making it public is a good start.
Where are the whistle blowers.
There was definitely Political Involvement in this case, hopefully the truth will come out ? Maybe, maybe not ?
Our NZ Police are authoritative and they need to be pulled into line now. I hope you deal to them in court Martyn they need to be put in there place national who are also controlling gave them far too much power and are trying to give them more by allowing searching without warrants.
We also have old colonial views held by many of our ageing police force who need to retire mostly old pakeha men.
