having said that we all know the abuse section 44 gets and section 60 gets, so will wait and see who is the first to try it on.
I rekon someone will get it and we will see some coppers, trying it on, I rekon as the ap article says, if there is no proof of intent then as a citizen we are well within out rights to act our right of citizens arrest and arrest the offending officer for assault, false imprisonment, kidnap and battery, and abh if they are rough.
so lets see then
