Our worst driving offenders

• By Edith Bevin and all red italicised comments by Tetractys Merkaba, Editor-in-Chief. From: The Daily Telegraph and The Mikiverse March 25, 2010 12:00AM

THEY are the worst of the worst YES, This is the sort of outright lies, a tabloid is prepared to tell in order to sell a story to you, NOW. - thousands of drivers who repeatedly get behind the wheel despite having their licences disqualified. The worst of the worse means that these people are worse than

1. The Nazi's efforts at extinguishing the Jews.

2. The 9/11 terrorists.

3. The Crusades, Spanish Inquisition and other Christian Crime

4. Saddam Hussein

5. Soviet Russia & the Eastern Bloc countries

6. Mao Zedong

We could go on day; paedophiles, rapists, murderers, despots etc are all considered to be not as bad as an unlicensed driver according to Edith Bevan and the foreign-owned Daily Telegraph.

Many -not all, but lets lump them all in together, the precedent for histrionics and outright lies has already been established-have been disqualified for seriously injuring or even killing -note the use of strong, emotional language and the usage of the most extreme results- other drivers through negligence ??, drink-driving overwhelmingly perpretrated by licensed drivers, hooning A news ltd special phrase, what precisely is hooning, beyond a suitably vague word that affords an opportunity for tabloid journo's to sit in judgement of another spiritual being? or excessive speeding excessive words? wouldn't it be enough to simply say speeding? . Some are disqualified for longer than they're likely to live. But, I'm guessing that this is a very small minority? Maybe the issue is overly harsh sentencing?

But still they take to the roads in a flagrant disregard ooh, flagrant is so much worse than a mere disregard, but, How does Edith know the mindset of these individual people? Has she asked them? Is she one of them? of the law Does Edith even know what a law actually is? Does she even care? Would it be fair to propose that Edith is prepared to write anything at all to establish an emotional and accusatory piece that will get published and allow her to get paid? and the safety of other motorists That would be because apparently, licensed drivers do not have a flagrant disregard for the safety of other motorists. We'll remember this, the next time a News Ltd paper runs a story that demonises licensed drivers, which should be some time this week..

There are now 23,000 drivers declared "habitual offenders" by the RTA Who cares what a private corporation such as the Roads Traffic Authority thinks? Do they make law? No. and the justice system. Is this because they couldn't afford a skilful enough lawyer to play the court game? Because the court system can be a little corrupt at times? Because they could not represent themselves adequately? Are there other reasons?

To earn this dubious distinction, drivers have to accumulate three convictions for serious offences The phrase 'serious offence' has been left undefined. What is a serious offence? Is it a crime as defined in the 1958 Crimes Act? If so, that would mean that somebody has suffered a serious injury or loss? within five years.

The third conviction means they will be disqualified from driving for five years unless a court rules otherwise. This is in addition to any disqualification the third major offence itself attracts.

There have been 138 habitual offenders disqualified for life under what is known as the Habitual Offender Scheme. Another 18 have been disqualified for 50 years.

The scheme was introduced in 1998 for drivers who repeatedly committed serious offences and since then about 30,000 drivers have been declared habitual offenders.

Yet despite the tough sentences handed down by the courts under the scheme, the state's top traffic cop Assistant Commissioner John Hartley admitted it seemed to be doing little to deter drivers determined to take to the roads without a licence.

"Anecdotally, the trend is pretty even," Mr Hartley said.

"We're still catching about 40,000 unauthorised drivers each year - that's unlicensed, disqualified, or licence cancellations. This reminds me that certain people who exercise their common law right to travel, have been subjected to Police stationing themselves close by a freeman's home, who then pounce as soon as private travel is commenced. Another tactic used by Victoria Police is there is a particular car that is called on the radio to come out and take your home made license plates. They can unscrew any screw and if your plates are welded on, they will simply use a grinder to cut them, and a portion of your front & back panels/bumper bars off your automobile. There is remedy. Use stickers. Make about 10, so if a copper rips one off your automobile, put a replacement back on. Then, write a notice of understanding, and pursue them for damages, remembering that a Police Officer is not a judge, the side of a road is not a court room, and you are entitled to face your accusers in a court of law, with a jury, that presumes you innocent of the matter you are accused of. If a murderer, a rapist, or a paedophile is not punished before a trial, why should you be for a trivial matter such as a breach of contract claim?

"Certainly there are people out there of the mindset that they will drive in disregard of the law no matter what." Maybe, but this reads like an opinion, rather than a statement of fact. People who exercise their common law right to travel respect the law. The relevant issue is what is a law? Not addressed in this article, unfortunately.

Mr Hartley said such drivers were a menace on the roads. Again, we have an opinion presented as fact. This could be an argumentative essay!

"It's a danger, particularly when you know that a number of fatal crashes are caused by unauthorised drivers. There's a reason they're disqualified in the first place." Notice the enjoinder that is established here between an unauthorised and disqualified driver. Also, take note of the ambiguous phrase, "a number" how many? how many in relation to crashes caused by licensed drivers?

Police have suggested that declaring a driver an habitual offender after racking up their third offence in five years is leaving it too late. Now that the article has got us all nice and emotional, we reach the point of the article, the Police want greater powers to punish members of the community.

"It's very similar to the drink driver who is an alcoholic - intervention needs to be very early in their driving history rather than later," Mr Hartley said.

"The earlier that intervention comes, the greater chance of success. Obviously some are past the point now where intervention will help."

POLICE BLITZ DRUGS, STREET CRIME ARREST 96 IN RICHMOND, COLLINGWOOD, FITZROY

Report by Tetractys Merkaba, Mikiverse, Editor-in-Chief.

My thoughts are in red so you can easily differentiate between my words and Elissa Doherty's. Pay attention to the use of words such as 'notices', 'vehicles' and 'person'. These are legal references used to reinforce belief that, for example, an automobile is a vehicle, as well as, serving as a reinforcement of contractual enjoinders. This means that you only drive a vehicle because you agree that you are driving a vehicle. If, you travel privately, in your automobile, you are NOT driving a vehicle, and, not subject to any legislation that deals with motor vehicles.

Elissa Doherty From: Herald Sun March 26, 2010 9:27AM
A POLICE blitz on illicit drug activity and street crime has netted nearly 100 arrests in the inner city over the past fortnight.

Police arrested 96 people for mostly drug offences as part of a two-week operation on the streets of Richmond, Collingwood and Fitzroy.

A 30-year-old Laverton man was charged with trafficking offences after being caught with 12 deals of heroin in Richmond during the crackdown.

A 21-year-old man from West Melbourne was also charged with trafficking after being caught with three grams of heroin, and a 45-year-old Preston man with five warrants for apprehension was arrested and remanded at Richmond police station.

Operation Elizabeth involved local uniform and plain clothes police, backed by specialist units including the Dog Squad, Mounted Branch, Traffic Management Units and Regional Response Units, the Sheriff's Office, and Metro Trains and Yarra Trams inspectors.
When did the Sherriff's Office and Metro Train/Yarra Tram Inspectors become specialist police units? They are not, yet, this foreign owned tabloid has grouped them together as if they were. Why? They are not quoting a police spokesperson, so, it is clearly, a Herald Sun opinion. Do they want you to think that the aforementioned groups are part of the police force, or, have an authority over you? And, did you notice that the inspectors belong to the respective private corporation and not to the government corporation?

During the special operation police checked 1723 people on the streets, -what does this word mean, "checked"? Is that like when the NAZI's checked your papers in the 1930's to determine if you were Jewish or not? And, how does this 'checking' presume your innocence? And, why hasn't this article mentioned the fact that people are innocent until proven guilty?- 366 vehicles, processed 111 people by arrest processed? why not simply write; arrested 111 people. As respected Canadian expert on the law and universal rights, Rob: Menard explains in his acclaimed seminar "Bursting bubbles of government deception", excessive words are used to hide, or obscure their real intent. This sentence is definitely a case of excessive language. Why? What is the real intent? , summons, warrant, caution or crime penalty notice, breath tested 145 motorists and detected 171 traffic offences.

Senior Sergeant Colin McKinney from Richmond police said that by targeting drug offenders street crime reduced across the area. If he was a NAZI officer from the 1930's, that phrase would've been: targetting Jewish offenders! If you couple this statement with the previous paragraph, then you realise that the police checked 1723 people on the street b/c they thought that they were drug offenders!! Unless, of course, the aforementioned statement was a piece of propaganda to try to validate their activity.

“We know that the use and trafficking of illicit drugs in the Yarra area is connected to criminal offences such as burglary and thefts,'' Sen Sgt McKinney said.
This so-called fact has nothing to back it up. How does he know this to be true?
“It also impacts on the resources of community services such as health and welfare groups. How?

“During this two week operation Yarra had a significant reduction in theft from motor vehicles. Is it cnnected to this two week blitz? or, is it connected to the next statement that suggests that crime is lower in a five month period than it was in the same period last year?

“Also, crimes against the person are down by 13 per cent and crimes against property are down 25 per cent for the corresponding five month period last year.''

Sen Sgt McKinney said that almost 30 people were referred to community health services throughout the operation.

“As part of a similar operation in November last year, police referred 20 people to community health services for support and advice,'' he said.

“Of those 20 people, 15 are still participating in services. Police are committed to reducing harm caused by illicit drugs in our community by reducing supply, reducing demand and the harm caused by their use.''

Yarra police will continue to crack down on drug and street offences throughout the year.

Operation Elizabeth statistics
* 1723 people and 366 vehicles checked
* 96 arrested , mostly for drug offences
* 171 traffic penalty and 15 crime penalty notices -this means that you are in breach of contract, NOT GUILTY OF A CRIME. Would a police officer issue a crime penalty notice if you committed a crime as per the definition of a crime in the Crimes Act? For example, if you caused an injury to someone else by committing an assault, a robbery, property damage, or a rape? Of course not. You would be arrested, taken to the police station for questioning and charged. issued
* 145 breath tests conducted
When you consume corporate media "news", or opinion, it is important to be aware that a lot of presumptions and opinions are blurred in with factual information. If you think critically, you will be able to spot these occurrances, and, be better able to protect yourself against the consequences of these actions, as well as, being more equipped to understand what is really happening. In this instance, the point of the article is to convince you that it is ok, and normal to be checked by the police, that we need this to happen. This way, YOU will cooperate when a random police officer decides to check you. Why should innocent people be subjected to a presumption of guilt? This is what happens when the police search you WITHOUT PROBABLE CAUSE. Our rights are being taken piece by piece because we are not paying attention. Do not rely on the media to inform you. Inform yourself.

Police target Unregistered Cars with new Revenue Making Machine in South Auastralia

By: Peter-Ross: Valentine on: Jan 08 2010 03:14 GMT (329 Reads)

NEW mobile police surveillance cameras which automatically read number plates have become operational, SA Police have announced.

NEW mobile police surveillance cameras which automatically read number plates have become operational, SA Police have announced.

Police have been trialling the cameras - which can photograph a car's numberplate from a distance of up to 3m -on four patrol cars since earlier this month.

Stolen, unregistered or cars belonging to known criminals, hoon drivers or known arsonists are put into a data base linked to the cameras.

Chief Superintendent Paul Schramm said if the cameras detected any of these details, the patrol was alerted by a `flag', prompting further action. .

"We have already had some hoon drivers charged as a result of the technology," Chief-Supt Schramm said.

"We think this technology will make our roads safer."

The cars have two forward-facing cameras and one side- mounted camera, which are able to scan both moving and parked cars.

The results are monitored inside the patrol car by an officer, with the information immediately displayed.

If the number plates reveal the car is unregistered or if its registered owner has outstanding warrants or any other issues of interest to police, then the patrols can take action.

Police Minister Michael Wright said the technology already was in use in the UK.

"This is really at the cutting edge, it will bring us up to date with what is happening in other states around Australia and also overseas," he said.

"It will provide the ability for police to get instant information from number plates whether the driver is known to be involved in drugs or other types of criminal activity."

A decision will be made after the trial ends at Christmas whether to start fitting the cameras to all police cars - incluidng unmarked vehicles - at a cost of $40,000 per police car.

Victoria Police yesterday began trialling a new vehicle-mounted camera capable of scanning up to 700 passing vehicles in an hour, with the trial so far leading to the identification of three banned drivers per hour.

The camera system automatically scans and identifies vehicles registered to disqualified or suspended drivers quickly enough for police officers stationed further along the road to detain the driver.

Trialled in the south-east Melbourne suburb of Moorabbin, the camera – mounted to a nondescript blue Volkswagen Transporter – has demonstrated the significant potential for the system’s automated number plate recognition technology.

Police representatives said that disqualified drivers were involved in 10 percent of all fatal road incidents, with research showing that such drivers are up to nine times more likely to be involved in road incidents than other motorists.

Called Mobile Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras, the new systems will be trialled in four South Australia Police patrol cars until the end of the year, before a decision is made on whether to expand the programme.


Each patrol car is fitted with three ANPR cameras: two forward-facing and a third with with the ability to scan the registration plates of parked vehicles as the patrol car passes.

“It increases the potential for offenders to be identified, stopped and appropriate policing responses undertaken,” a SA Police release reads.

“Intelligence, particularly relating to vehicle location, can link criminals to these vehicles as well as linking vehicles to crime scenes. ANPR will also identify unroadworthy (vehicles).”

Assistant Commissioner Killmier pointed to the technology’s successful use interstate and overseas as evidence of the trial’s worth. He said the cameras will be used in crime reduction and road safety strategies this year.

“As a vehicle licence plate is read by the camera, the image is displayed on an LCD screen visible to police officers and an audible tone alerts police if a registration number plate matches a vehicle of interest,” Assistant Commissioner Killmier said.

“ANPR cameras record the location of a vehicle at an exact time, have a capacity to scan a high volume of vehicle plates, and work in all weather and lighting conditions.

“We hope they will help police intercept dangerous drivers and therefore assist in reducing deaths and serious injury.”

BREAKING NEWS: CANADIAN POLICE ASSAULT OUR FREEDOMS!

Special Report by Tetractys Merkaba

CANADIAN 'Freeman on the Land', who is identified on Facebook as 'Mika otf Rasila', has had his van and his tools stolen by St.Catherine/Niagara Police.

Like many tradesman, Mika otf Rasila, requires his tools to make a living.

The police officer in the video below, refused to enter into conversation with Mika otf Rasila, demanding that he get out of his private conveyance.

He refused to presume Mika otf Rasila innocent, and, despite the fact that no crime had, or was being committed, arrested him for driving with a suspended licence.

No-one was injured, and nobody suffered a loss.

When informed, that his fee schedule was $1,000 per hour with the handcuffs on, the police removed them, but, not before incarcerating him for an hour.

The police presented Mika otf Rasila with a raft of fines, even though he affirms that "these fines that were washed off my record" when "I was just in court".

So why the bullyboy tactics from the police?

Are they trying to force Mika otf Rasila to sign a contract to observe a statute?
