Schapelle Corby ...... (152)

i dunno why they treated you like that, but for what its worth i think the barrister stabbed you in the back, because as i copied to you in the first instance the Act said you could do all of what you did, my reading of the Act said you could do whatever other than kill someone.
Beside removing the keys from their car you acted lawfully in every respect.
What's behind it all i don't know, however if you check the parts of the Act's i posted in your thread in the first instance you should able to figure out you were stabbed in the back from that quarter is my opinion.

I am very sure that the display I saw between the barrister and a police officer 9 dec last after I had pled guilty was anything but professional . Early days yet Robo .

yeah but you probably only had 21 days to lodge an appeal against your conviction and that's long gone.
I urge you again not to spend money on lawyers, protect your assets mate or you could loose the lot. They can't be trusted and will play anything out as long as they perceive there is a buck to be made

I can read an Act, spent most the last 30 years doing just that in both countries. Without lawyers anywhere near m I won in the NZ high court, though i would acknowledge others having knowledge of the matters may have assisted the outcome, i didn't have nor need legal representation nor wanted them anywhere near me either

The only other court I had ever been near was the family court then in an informal setting . Was all new stuff . My post here were read intensely over a week . Unlike two others I don't have to sweat inspite of the bluster stress is working on one .

late here Robo

In any disturbance the police rely on the blue shirt behind them, i cannot perceive anyone within or associated with the NZ Police Force would take on the conduct of a Police Sergeant. Might be more realistic to complain in writing according to Rules siting the Bill of Rights Act
