An exposé of corruption and perversity in the New Zealand Police.

“All members of the New Zealand Police have key roles to play in building and maintaining safer communities together. Those of us who have the privilege of holding the office of constable – that is, being sworn police officers – carry special powers to help protect life and property, preserve the peace, uphold the law and prevent and detect criminal offences. These powers come with important responsibilities. Chief amongst them, New Zealanders have a right to expect the highest standards of ethics, integrity and conduct from their police officers.”

Rob Robinson, Police Commissioner.

NZ Police standards of conduct.

The following standards of conduct are expected of all police officers:

• Honesty and integrity
• Fairness and impartiality
• Respect for people
• Respect for confidentiality
• Obedience to the law and lawful orders
• Reasonable exercise of discretion
• Efficient performance of duties
• Not damaging the reputation or relationships of the Police

This is a very impressive piece of work. I’m concerned that the damning criticisms of the police on this site have gone unanswered and I suspect I know the reason – I think they must be valid.

 This website shows you what a (NZ) Dutchman with various greivances can do if he is pissed off! You can be assured of several hours of informative and entertaining reading. (Jack, the person concerned, has that blunt and obscene turn of phrase characteristic of his demographic) It will take you into the compromised world of the NZ Police.

Jack seems to be winning his longstanding battle of attrition with police and others. Although on occaision he has disparagingly referred to some of his adversaries as “druggies”, I still think his efforts are a real inspiration – bloodymindedness has some virtue!

As a person that joined the Police in my 40′s the biggest shock I encountered was the continual lying, bullying and deceit that is a deliberate systemic part of the NZ Police culture right from little lies by Constables to the bigger lies by Commissioned Officers at PNHQ. They seem incapable of understanding how much extra public respect and understanding they would get by simply telling the truth about all kinds of matters. New Zealanders seem to have some naïve belief that there is something special about our police in that the corruption that is evident in places like the Australia police does not happen here. After all the evidence that has been produced over the years, why would anyone still believe that we are any different?

 “Immediately after the 1999 election Labour initiated a Select Committee inquiry, designed to destroy Jenny Shipley’s credibility.

I learnt much from sitting on that enquiry. Once it was clear that Mrs Shipley was not implicated it became my first experience of Parliamentary bi-partisanship, as the committee grew increasingly appalled at the untrustworthiness of Police witnesses. No MP on that committee was unaffected. Most shattering was the simple stupidity at senior levels, in sticking to incredible denials in the face of overwhelming evidence, including video footage.

The committee had no desire to destroy public confidence in Police integrity. We noted our unhappiness with their evidence and focused the report on protocols for preserving constitutional propriety. It appears from reports of the Wang affair that Police agreement on those might have been as unreliable as their evidence to the committee.”

This letter started it all off.

ARMSTRONG BARTON 4 December1984

Riamaki Society Incorporated

RD 6

RAETIHI

ATTENTION: MR J CORNELIUS

Dear Sir

RIAMAKI INCORPORATED SOCIETY

We have been instructed to act on behalf of Mr J Van der Lubbe concerning his membership of the abovenamed Society.

We refer to various correspondences your Society has had with Mr Van der Lubbe and particularly letters dated the 8th of March 1983, 15th of March 1983 and the 8th of August 1983. In each of these letters you state that Mr Van der Lubbe is no longer a member of the above Society. It would appear that the Society’s conclusion is based on the amendment to Rule 7 of the Society’s Rules, that amendment having been registered in early March of 1983. Rule 7 now reads “subscriptions remaining unpaid on the 2nd day of May each year shall be deemed to be in arrears. If these arrears remain unpaid 3 months from the due date the member automatically ceases to be a member of the Society and his or her share moneys shall be paid out to them in the same manner as resigned members”.

We note that on the 7th of March 1983 you wrote to Mr Van der Lubbe advising him of the date of the 6th Annual General Meeting of the above named Society. However on the 8th of March he received another letter stating that he was no longer a member. It is now clear that Mr Van der Lubbe’s membership was withdrawn because his annual subscription for the years 1979 to 1980, 1980 to 1981, 1981 to 1982 and 1982 to 1983 remained unpaid. However the amendment to Rule 7 states that annual subscriptions remaining unpaid on the 2nd day of May each year shall be deemed to be in arrears. This amendment was not registered until early March 1983. Therefore, the subscriptions in issue relate to years prior to the amendment to Rule 7.

Your Society has therefore purported to retrospectively implement the amendment to Rule 7 without any authority to do so. There is no general right at law or any specific right in the amendment to Rule 7 to implement the somewhat draconian measures set out in that Rule on a retrospective basis.

Furthermore on the 15th of March 1983 Mr Van der Lubbe forwarded to the Secretary of the abovenamed Society the arrears requested and also an advance payment for the oncoming year. This cheque was not accepted. A further cheque was forwarded to the Secretary on the 1st of June 1983 and this cheque was also not accepted. However, your Secretary did state that the arrears still remained owing as a debt to the Society. If that is the case on what basis did you purport to advise Mr Van der Lubbe that he was no longer a member of your Society? The annual subscription fee for the oncoming year had not yet fallen due and therefore if arrears for the previous years remained an enforceable debt then clearly they were enforceable against a member. It is also to be noted that under the amendment to Rule 7 once the member ceased to be a member of the Society, his or her share moneys would be repaid to them in the same manner as resigned members. Mr Van der Lubbe has never received such a repayment. If in fact, in your view, Mr Van der Lubbe is not now a member of your Society, why has this money not been repaid?

Therefore, in our view your Society has acted quite improperly by purporting to prevent Mr Van der Lubbe from exercising his clear right of membership. Your Society’s actions are wrong both in general law and one not permitted by the Rules of the Society. We finally refer to your letter of the 8th of August 1983 when in writing to Mr Van der Lubbe you suggest that he obtain further clarification of this matter from a Solicitor. Mr Van der Lubbe has obviously now done this and views with considerable anger the actions that your Society has taken against him. We further understand that there are several other people who have suffered the same fate as Mr Van der Lubbe. No doubt now Mr Van der Lubbe is, aware of the legal position, these people will also learn of your Society’s improper actions and may also wish to take the appropriate measures. We look forward to your early reply to this letter and your recognition of Mr Van der Lubbe’s continuing membership of the abovenamed Society.

Yours faithfully

ARMSTRONG BARTON

Every man’s house is his castle. Legal Maxim.

“If one is willing to make allegations, one must also provide credible evidence to support them.” Gordon Waugh.

The Riamaki Society Incorporated was formed by a group of people to control what could be described as a private Ohu, at the end of Croatons Road, Ruatiti Valley, Raetihi. All went well with this arrangement until Jerry Cornelius arrived on the scene. From that time until the winding up of the Society there was factional fighting (divide and rule) and illegal actions such as that described in the lawyer’s letter. Cornelius and the other remaining members of the society secretly wound up the Society and sold the assets, which included a one thousand-acre bush farm to Jerry Cornelius while the matter of my membership was before the Court. Cornelius paid me out my full share money out of his own pocket after I placed a Caveat on the Title to the farm. I was proved right and my lawyer, who is now a Judge, took all the money. Lesson number one.

Less than two weeks after the lawyer’s letter was sent to Cornelius (4/12/84) the Wanganui Drug Squad, detective Colin Irvine, came a-knocking at my door. He told me that he had a warrant and that he wanted to search the property for illegal drugs.

“Principles are a mug’s game.” JVDL

After complaining about the legalised home invaders to that brick wall the Police Commissioner and his cronies, I was suffering from righteous indignation, I complained to the then last resort the Ombudsman. I have numbered his report and will comment on it where I thought it necessary.

Cornelius cooked his goose when he lied to Irvine about me being a druggie and Irvine cooked his goose when he uttered that ”large scale cannabis cultivation” crap to the Ombudsman.

1 No Police Reports or files were made available to me.

2 If it was true that Irvine ‘was told by the informant on a number of occasions over a week that [I] was involved in the distribution of hard drugs’ it would indicate that the informant had an ulteria motive for the Police to take action. A person acting without malice or an agenda would go to the Police, give the information and let them get on with it, not go back several times to hound them into action. And why would they need to be hounded into action? Because I was unknown to Irvine and unknown in drug circles.

3 Shows that the informant associates with at least three hard druggies and or chemist shop burglars. The informant’s knowledge of what was stolen in the burglary shows that he didn’t just pluck his information from the newspaper, those details were not reported in the papers. It could also be that Irvine simply added the unreported details in order to obtain the search warrant/s for his fishing trip.

4 For the first three months of that year (1984) I was living 783 kilometres from Wanganui at Hihi Beach, Northland so Irvine’s statement is demonstrably false. He made up the whole of that paragraph to vilify my name to mislead the Ombudsman. It’s quite clear that he was sucked in by Irvine’s lies. When Sandra, the wife, read what Irvine had told the Ombudsman she nearly spontaneously combusted. She shot straight into the Police Station and demanded that Irvine prove his malicious accusations but all she got for her efforts were some bruises on her arms when she was unceremoniously ejected from the premises by a couple of “goons”.

5 The Police had no ‘reasonable grounds’ to obtain a search warrant and that was the first thing I told Irvine after he said that he had one. A single, persistent informer with no supporting or corroborating evidence are not the ‘reasonable grounds’ that are required.

4 

More bogus search warrants

6 ‘The file suggests’ is a bit thin. Irvine’s visit to my traffic cop brother Eric was to test the reliability of the ‘recent’ information, nothing else. He hadn’t received any other information ever. Eric told Irvine his information was bollocks but still he went ahead.

7 I was aware from the beginning of who the informant was.

On the night of the home invasion I said to Irvine “I know who’s done this, Jerry Cornelius.” At that Irvine flinched and walked away without denying my allegation. Another Policeman piped up saying, “Well if you know him you must be guilty.” I then showed Irvine the lawyer’s letter but he refused to read it. If you try to explain matters they either ignore you or they say, “Look I’m not here to argue with you” and then they barge on with their nefarious business. To that time I had met Cornelius just once and on that one occasion he volunteered to me that he had done time for burglary. Why did he do that? He was fishing to see if I was a criminal like him. I guess that if I had told Cornelius that I was a burglar like him the burglary squad would have invaded my home. He chose drugs (I did have long hair) and his gullible and corrupt mate Irvine.

8 The Ombudsman has omitted the fact that two warrants were issued. Irvine got the address all wrong on the first one, an address nowhere near my place. He went to that address armed with his bogus warrant and found that he had cocked-up. So much for his ‘reliable intelligence.’ Without a second thought, an alarm bell should have rung, he went back to the previously ‘satisfied judicial officer’ who granted him a second warrant. If a cop asks for a warrant he will get it, simple as that. No probing questions asked. All lies believed.

From Comments on page 03,

I came upon this site quite by accident. I haven’t read all the site, but the names #Van Der LUBBE# and #BRITTON# appear to feature so far….let it be known for the record that I was a serving copper in Wanganui from 1980 until 1986. Let it also be known that I was part of a team on one occasion that executed a drugs warrant at the Van Der LUBBE address in Ballance Street Wanganui, in the early 80’s. Quite surprisingly, Det Colin IRVINE made the mistake of speaking with a Van Der LUBBE family member (brother of the warrant target) the day before (probably because the brother was a traffic cop), with the consequence that no drugs were found. However, we coppers were all shocked to see a loaded high calibre rifle under the master bed, shocked because the Van Der LUBBE’s had young children living in the house. What was even more surprising was Mr Van Der LUBBE knew the loaded rifle was under his bed, but was not at all concerned about the fact.

I can also say that the BRITTON family living up the para paras often came to notice of us boys in blue. I also seem to recall Matthew(?) BRITTON coming to national prominence by setting up camp in parliament grounds.

Be your own judge…

Mike Cannon | February 26th, 2007 at 3:07 pm (edit)

——————————————————————————–

I just love it when cops get their “facts” provably wrong.

1. The “drugs warrant” was executed at an address in Paterson Street. Irvine got it all wrong and he got the first warrant for my fathers place in Ballance Street. He had to tell his lies all over again to get a second one for the right address.

2. Believe it or not my brother did not warn me that a raid was in the offing. Irvine found nothing because there was nothing to be found. I am not and have never have been a druggie and Irvine approached my brother and asked him if I was involved in drugs because he had absolutly no information (other than the lies fed to him by the probable double killer and kid fucker Jerry Cornelius) that I was.

3. Saying that the rifle was loaded is an outright lie. The rifle was under the bed in the box it came in and a packet of bullets was in the box with it. That’s not loaded but it was a bit silly I must admit. Irvine said as much at the time but I told him my kids knew not to go near the gun. A bit nieve of me I know.

4. The Brittons` never lived up the “paraparas”. They lived in the Parihauhau Valley when their kids young (pre teen) and unknown to the police. And as for Mathew Britton setting up camp in parliament grounds don’t make me laugh. He might have been there for the big cannabis smoke up but that’s all.

You’re either a lier or a fool Mike.

Jack | February 26th, 2007 at 3:56 pm (edit)

——————————————————————————–

Thanks for the corrections Jack….I haven’t been back to Wanganui for many many years, so obviously I need to consult a street directory to know the difference between Ballance / Paterson Streets.

I don’t have a particular axe to grind, I did my 16 years as a copper, and left more than 10 years ago. I’m no longer in NZ now, but I can tell you that the rifle WAS loaded, and yes, it was in a box with spare ammo.

Yes, the Brittons did live in the Parihauhau valley, which runs parallel to the parapara road at the Upuk end. I think you’re ’splitting hairs’ by drawing the distinction – you know I was referring to that general area.

I’d like to think I’m no fool, and I am certainly not a liar (nor exaggerator).

In my experience, this web site indicates someone continuously crying foul, which is a form of mock outrage. This only gets people wondering if the person(s) crying foul are not hiding some home truths anyway.

If you had a beef against the cops, ok, but do what most of us do after a while – just move on.

Mike Cannon | February 26th, 2007 at 6:32 pm (edit)

——————————————————————————–

You’re wrong Mike, the rifle was not loaded and saying it was (only drug dealers have loaded guns under the bed) and also saying the only reason you didn’t find any drugs was because I was tipped off is nothing but another attempt to smear me. How do you know the rifle was was loaded Mike? Irvine didn’t pick it up and work the bolt. You are a liar Mike.

Were you the uniformed cop who accompanied Irvine to Ballance Street, Paterson Street or both addresses? Were you the “We’ll get you!” cop.

The NZ Police NEVER move on as you put it Mike so how the hell am I to?

I’ve been waiting for over three weeks for a cop (Sergeant Andrew McDonald) to come round and take a statement from me about a case of intimidation. A week ago I phoned him and he said he was sorry for being “tardy” and would come to my address the next day.

Same old shit from the boys in blue.

Superintendent Norm Stanhope, like most cops, is a liar.

“Another good trick, or so we thought, was executing search warrants. There were always tame JPs willing to sign our applications for search warrants and so you would get a handful of warrants and off you would go to fight crime. You would have an amazing strike rate because in those days crims would, with minimal coaxing, tell tales on other crims. All crims and folk who associated with crims, had a habit of collecting photos, of each other.” Rana Waitai,  Rana Reckons, Wanganui Community News June 11 2009.

I made comments but to no avail.

The last thing one of Irvine’s co-invaders, the “If you know him you must be guilty” cop said to me as they left my place empty handed was, “We’ll get you.” And man did they try!

I should have had my blood tested for illicit drugs, another thing I didn’t think of. That would have proved Irvine and his informant were/are full of crap.

The Police then entered into my Wanganui Computer file, ‘Has made a complaint against Police.’

Not long after that I went with a friend and a land agent to look at a farm that was for sale in the same valley as the Cornelius farm and as soon as Cornelius learned that we had been in ‘his’ valley he complained to his buddy Irvine that I had stolen some (unspecified) tools from his farm. Irvine, the shameless fool, believed him again and tried to interview me about it. I told him that there was now no doubt whatsoever as to who his ‘earlier informant’ was. I never heard any more about the stolen tools.

During the search I got angry and kicked up a bit of a stink and some cop, maybe Irvine said, “Only guilty people kick up a stink.” The Dog handler, Brechmanis said, If this was America you would have been shot by now.” That after he insulted the state of our unfinished house. Another cop piped up and said, “It looks alright to me.”

Next day after I told my lawyer what had happened he said, “I hope you kicked up a fuss?”

My chosen field continues to disgust me. (Lawyer) Judges/JPs are corrupt (some of them – especially the JPs – ALWAYS give police the warrants they ask for), police officers routinely lie in court (to the point where most of them -with a pitiful few exceptions – can’t even tell the difference between the truth and a lie after a few years), defence lawyers routinely reveal privileged information to the police/prosecutors, or deliberately do not push a strong line of defence, to help convict their own clients (there are countless innocent men in prison BECAUSE of their own corrupt defence lawyers), most prosecutors have entirely lost sight of their obligation to withdraw charges (or ask that they be dismissed in extreme cases) when they form a reasonable belief that the EVIDENCE does not support the charge (they seem to think trials are some form of “game” that they need to “win”).

The Police Commissioner

Office of the Commissioner

PO Box 3017

Wellington

Dear Sir,

Back in 1987 I complained to the then Ombudsman John Robertson about a

case of Police corruption concerning a Detective Colin Irvine of the

Wanganui Drug Squad and his rewarded criminal informer Jerry

Cornelius.

My complaint was that Colin Irvine used false information to obtain

two search warrants and later failed to prosecute Jerry Cornelius for

supplying information to the Police that he knew was false and

malicious.

The Ombudsman dismissed my complaint because Detective Irvine told him

a pack of lies about me, his alleged reliable informants and his relationship with Cornelius.

If you go to www.bentcops.org and click on 01 Home Invasion (drugs)

allegations about Detective Colin Irvine and his probable double

killer mate Cornelius were correct and that Colin Irvine lied to Mr

Robertson to protect himself and his criminal informant Jerry Cornelius from justice.

********************************************************************

“Jack I came across your site while searching for information

regarding the suppressed information in the Louise Nicholas case. I

didn’t find what I was looking for, but I found the name of Jerry

Cornelius.

When Jerry Cornelius first arrived at the Riamaki commune up in

Raetihi, he was already a valuable informer of some years standing for

the police. Jerry had done some valuable work for the police in

regards to the infamous Mr Asia drug conspiracy. Colin Irvine from

Wanganui was Jerry’s controller and protector. You had no chance. (My emphasis)

From the very beginning Jerry Cornelius intended to gain control of the

land, which was known as Riamaki, as you know the rest is history. It

was used to grow weed with the full knowledge of Irvine and co and

this weed was later sold to the underworld via jerry who then passed

on the information to Irvine and co who used it to arrest the

wrong doers and put them in prison. (They call it justice) To say

Jerry and Irvine were friends would be an understatement.

Evil bastard.

Are policemen who turn a blind eye to or actively avoid investigating or prosecuting a reported case of perverting the course of justice also guilty of that crime? I say YES!

Jerry changed his name to ***** ********* in the early nineties to give

himself a new persona but as they say, “the leopard cannot change its spots”.

Cornelius often hosted members of the Wellington and Wanganui drug

squads at Riamaki for “lost weekend” hunting trips. Another reason why

he did what he did to keep people out of “his” valley. He made people

frightened of him. He used his friendship with the police to hide his

nefarious activities. Which included growing large amounts of weed

that the police never officially knew about but helped him distribute

while he was on the job for them. I suggest the police had an idea

this might be the case but since Jerry was delivering the goods they

turned a blind eye. In his own way Cornelius was very clever.

Eventually the police woke up to the fact Jerry was a socio-path and as

such very dangerous to them as well as to others. Jerry’s usefulness

was coming to an end, and he was retired as a credible nark. But while

he plied his trade he did a great deal of damage to the innocent as

well as the guilty. I am lead to believe he is still on very friendly

terms with Irvine.

Around 1997-8 after receiving information from a very reliable source,

the Ohakune police under the direction of then sergeant Mike Hill

launched a very discreet double murder inquiry in the back blocks of

Raetihi with Cornelius as the prime suspect. It was a very

comprehensive investigation carried out of the public eye, but with

the alleged murders having been committed some 20 years previously and

no bodies, it didn’t get very far. But Cornelius remains the major

suspect. A very difficult situation for the police to deal with.

To get the police off his back and to cover his tracks Jerry

eventually sold the land to Gary Rawnsley and moved north with a

pocket full of cash. The last I heard (about 2000) he was living in

Auckland.

Those murdered were a nephew of Jerryand his friend. The nephew (Lionell Russell) was

the son of jerry’s sister. She lives-lived up Whangarei somewhere.

Because Jerry was the last person to see the boys alive he always

maintained they had decided to go to Australia, This is the story

Jerry told his sister. She lived in hope he was alive and would come

back.

I remember Mike Hill drove up to Whangarei from Ohakune to interview her.

They had gone bush with Jerry to put in a dope plantation back in the

late seventies. Sometime during that period the nephew and his friend

became disenchanted with the idea of growing dope and wanted out.

Because they were so far into the bush Jerry agreed to take them back

to civilisation. (A couple of days hike through the bush) That was the

last anybody ever saw of the nephew and his friend. The theory is that

Jerry would not have trusted them to keep quiet so he shot them both

with the shotgun he always carried and disposed of their bodies in the

wilderness.

The police started their investigation with a missing persons inquiry.

This is back about 97-98 and is a matter of public record. They made

extensive enquiries around the Raetihi district seeking information.

There was a story about the missing pair on the television show

Crimewatch and a newspaper article in the Auckland Herald if my memory

serves me well. But at no time did the police make any mention of

Jerry Cornelius. It was kept as a missing persons enquiry. But while

all of these enquiries drew a blank, I assure you the police

investigation under the control of Mike Hill is in no doubt foul play

took place and the finger is pointed at Jerry Cornelius. Because of

the way this all developed, concern was raised by vested interests

with Mike Hill about the connection between Jerry and the police and

who could be trusted (in this instance Mike Hill is the good guy) Mike

assured everybody concerned this matter was being treated with upmost

seriousness. When police first questioned Jerry about the missing pair

he denied everything of course. But what he did was run straight to

Colin Irvine to find out what was going on. Eyebrows were raised in

the police ranks by Irvine’s enquiries about the case and he was kept

out of the loop, strange as it may appear, It seems Irvine is not

trusted by some in his own ranks.

A lot of the people Jerry narked on were his friends or so they

thought and would never believe him capable of treachery towards them.

As far as I am aware the people he helped put in jail for his own

rewards never knew of his deceptions. Jerry has always been very good

at creating divide and rule. Promote confusion and doubt and offer

friendship. A very treacherous man.

I suggest to you Cornelius saw everyone as the enemy to be used in

whatever way he deemed appropriate to further his own aims and

objectives. (whatever they were)

I also suggest to you the chemist shop burglary you mentioned was

carried out by Jerry and he then fingered you to the cops for his own

ends but also to discredit your credibility. With the cops on his side

it wasn’t hard to do. Not that they knew Jerry did the burg. After the

accusation is made its very hard for you or anybody to disprove. It’s

a tactic Jerry used many many times to discredit those around him.

It was suggested to me that jerry would steal property from one person

and then secret it at the property of another, then tip of the cops.

He would then sit back and play both ends against the middle. Could he

have done this with you?

I remember a time when he was milling native timber at Riamaki. He was

having a running battle with his own son Max. Jerry hammered 4-inch

nails into several rimu logs and then accused Max of sabotaging his

operation. He would create the suspicion. Who after all would destroy

their own property? Jerry could spin a story so well and convince the

gullible as to its authenticity. Jerry would go to the pub, buy drinks

for people and them tell them stories about people, places and events

that were nothing but lies. I suggest to you generally speaking people

have no comprehension of how “EVIL” Jerry Cornelius is.”

LooseLips

********************************************************************

So there you have it, someone in the know but unknown to me has confirmed my allegations that Jerry Cornelius was Colin Irvine’s ‘nark’ and that Cornelius used the gullible Irvine in attempt to scare me off my civil legal action against the Riamaki Society Inc. Even though Irvine knew he had been duped by his “reliable” informant he did what all “good” cops do, he lied to all the people he needed to to protect himself and his man Cornelius. I believe it’s called noble-cause corruption. Colin Irvine therefore perverted/defeated the course of justice by lying about me and my history, the circumstances of the search warrants, his alleged informants and by not prosecuting Cornelius for supplying false, malicious information about me to the Police.

He is also guilty of lying to Judge Bill Unwin. (1987)

It is because of Irvine’s lies about me that my family and I have been denied our civil rights by the NZ Police since 1984. I for one am not at all surprised that certain people, a little less stable than myself, run amok when they tire of bashing their heads against the brick wall that has been erected by evil police officers to protect themselves and their equally evil criminal mates. Just think, if Cornelius had been prosecuted by Irvine for making false statements about me in 1984 his informer’s cover would have been “blown” and the killing of the two aforementioned would-be cannabis growers would not have happened.

What I want to know at this stage is this; did detective Colin Irvine of the Wanganui Police ever employ/use Jerry Cornelius as an informer and if so was Colin Irvine Jerry’s controller and protector and also did sergeant Mike Hill of the Ohakune Police ever launch a murder inquiry in the back blocks of Raetihi with Jerry Cornelius as the prime suspect?

This request is made pursuant to the Official Information Act 1982.

Yours faithfully

Jack Van Der Lubbe

Dear Sir

I have received the below information via email from a visitor to my web site bentcops.org

Please correct any inaccuraties.

There was a story about the missing pair on the television show Crimewatch and a newspaper article in the Auckland Herald if my memory serves me well. But at no time did the police make any mention of Jerry Cornelius. It was kept as a missing persons enquiry. But while all of these enquiries drew a blank, I assure you the police investigation under the control of Mike Hill is in no doubt foul play took place and the finger is pointed at Jerry Cornelius. Because of the way this all developed, concern was raised by vested interests with Mike Hill about the connection between Jerry and the police and who could be trusted (in this instance Mike Hill is the good guy) Mike assured everybody concerned this matter was being treated with upmost seriousness. When police first questioned Jerry about the missing pair he denied everything of course. But what he did was run straight to Colin Irvine to find out what was going on. Eyebrows were raised in the police ranks by Irvine’s enquiries about the case and he was kept out of the loop, strange as it may appear, It seems Irvine is not trusted by some in his own ranks”

This request is made pursuant to the Official Information Act 1982.

The offence of Perverting the course of justice is committed when an accused:-

does an act or series of acts;

which has or have a tendency to pervert; and

which is or are intended to pervert;

the course of public justice.

The offence is contrary to common law and triable only on indictment. It carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment and/or a fine.

The course of justice must be in existence at the time of the act(s). The course of justice starts when:-

an event has occurred, from which it can reasonably be expected that an investigation will follow; or

investigations which could/might bring proceedings have actually started; or

proceedings have started or are about to start.

In (R v Cotter and Others [2000] TLR) it was held that ‘the course of public justice included the process of criminal investigation following a false allegation against either an identifiable or unidentifiable individual.’

The offence of perverting the course of justice is sometimes referred to as “attempting to pervert the course of justice”. It does not matter whether or not the acts result in a perversion of the course of justice: the offence is committed when acts tending and intended to pervert a course of justice are done.

—————————

The following are examples of acts which may constitute the offence, although General Charging Principles, above in this chapter and Charging Practice for Public Justice Offences, above in this chapter should be carefully considered before preferring a charge of perverting the course of justice:-

persuading, or attempting to persuade, by intimidation, harm or otherwise, a witness not to give evidence, to alter his evidence or to give false evidence;

interference with jurors with a view to influencing their verdict;

false alibis and interference with evidence or exhibits, for example blood and DNA samples;

providing false details of identity to the police or courts with a view to avoiding the consequences of a police investigation or prosecution;

————————

giving false information, or agreeing to give false information, to the police with a view to frustrating a police inquiry; for example, lying as to who was driving when a road traffic accident occurred;

————————

lending a driving licence to another to produce to the police following a notice to produce, thereby avoiding an offence of driving whilst disqualified being discovered;

agreeing to give false evidence;

concealing or destroying evidence concerning a police investigation to avoid arrest;

assisting others to evade arrest for a significant period of time;

and

the acts wrongfully expose another person to risk of arrest or prosecution;

the obstruction of a police investigation is premeditated, prolonged or elaborate;

the acts hide from the police the commission of a serious crime;

a police investigation into serious crime has been significantly or wholly frustrated or misled;

I came upon this site quite by accident. I haven’t read all the site, but the names #Van Der LUBBE# and #BRITTON# appear to feature so far….let it be known for the record that I was a serving copper in Wanganui from 1980 until 1986. Let it also be known that I was part of a team on one occasion that executed a drugs warrant at the Van Der LUBBE address in Ballance Street Wanganui, in the early 80’s. Quite surprisingly, Det Colin IRVINE made the mistake of speaking with a Van Der LUBBE family member (brother of the warrant target) the day before (probably because the brother was a traffic cop), with the consequence that no drugs were found. However, we coppers were all shocked to see a loaded high calibre rifle under the master bed, shocked because the Van Der LUBBE’s had young children living in the house. What was even more surprising was Mr Van Der LUBBE knew the loaded rifle was under his bed, but was not at all concerned about the fact.

I can also say that the BRITTON family living up the para paras often came to notice of us boys in blue. I also seem to recall Matthew(?) BRITTON coming to national prominence by setting up camp in parliament grounds.

Be your own judge…

Mike Cannon

——————————————————————————–

I just love it when cops get their “facts” provably wrong.

1. The “drugs warrant” was executed at an address in Paterson Street. Irvine got it all wrong and he got the first warrant for my fathers place in Ballance Street. He had to tell his lies all over again to get a second one for the right address.

2. Believe it or not my brother did not warn me that a raid was in the offing. Irvine found nothing because there was nothing to be found. I am not and have never have been a druggie and Irvine approached my brother and asked him if I was involved in drugs because he had absolutly no information (other than the lies fed to him by the double killer Cornelius)that I was.

3. Saying that the rifle was loaded is an outright lie. The rifle was under the bed in the box it came in and a packet of bullets was in the box with it. That’s not loaded but it was a bit silly of me I must admit. Irvine said as much at the time but I told him my kids knew not to go near the gun. A bit nieve of me I know.

4. The Brittons` never lived up the “paraparas”. They lived in the Parihauhau Valley when their kids were young and unknown to the police. And as for Mathew Britton setting up camp in parliament grounds don’t make me laugh. He might have been there for the big cannabis smoke up but that’s all.

You’re either a lier or a fool Mike.

Jack

——————————————————————————–

Thanks for the corrections Jack….I haven’t been back to Wanganui for many many years, so obviously I need to consult a street directory to know the difference between Ballance / Paterson Streets.

I don’t have a particular axe to grind, I did my 16 years as a copper, and left more than 10 years ago. I’m no longer in NZ now, but I can tell you that the rifle WAS loaded, and yes, it was in a box with spare ammo.

Yes, the Brittons did live in the Parihauhau valley, which runs parallel to the parapara road at the Upuk end. I think you’re ’splitting hairs’ by drawing the distinction – you know I was referring to that general area.

I’d like to think I’m no fool, and I am certainly not a liar (nor exaggerator).

In my experience, this web site indicates someone continuously crying foul, which is a form of mock outrage. This only gets people wondering if the person(s) crying foul are not hiding some home truths anyway.

If you had a beef against the cops, ok, but do what most of us do after a while – just move on.

Mike Cannon

——————————————————————————–

You’re wrong Mike, the rifle was not loaded and saying it was (only drug dealers have loaded guns under the bed) and also saying the only reason you didn’t find any drugs was because I was tipped off is nothing but another attempt to smear me.

Were you the uniformed cop who accompanied Irvine to Ballance Street, Paterson Street or both addresses? Were you the “We’ll get you!” cop.

The NZ Police NEVER move on as you put it Mike so how the hell am I to?

Informant wins appeal.

August 21, 2008

A recidivist burglar has had his jail sentence quashed and case sent back to the district court because of his role as a police informant.

Conrad Gray, 24, smashed his way into the house of a Rotorua man last November and threatened him with an axe, said a Court of Appeal judgment released yesterday.

Gray was sentenced in Rotorua District Court to three years and three months on charges of assault with a weapon and burglary.

The Court of Appeal judgment said information about Gray’s assistance to police in a separate investigation was not brought to the sentencing judge’s attention.

His lawyer had argued that Gray’s sentence was excessive when his role as an informant was taken into account.

The Crown disagreed, saying his list of convictions and the seriousness of his recent offending – committed while on parole – made the original sentence adequate.

But the Court of Appeal quashed it and said rather than reconsider the sentence, it should be returned to the District Court.

We were quite pleasant, there was no nastiness, there was no yelling, no screaming, no raised voices, none of these things and they were surprisingly cooperative under the circumstances. If they were totally innocent I think you’d be creating a scene somehow, I think the average person would be, you know, what the hell am I doing here, I haven’t done anything wrong, we’re on holiday, this is stupid.

NZ Police

Applying for a Search Warrant:

Section 198 fo the Summary Proceedings Act 1957 allows any person to make an application for the issue of a search warrant to any District Court Judge or Justice of the Peace or Community Magistrate or Registrar (not being a Constable).

Although any person may make such an application in the past it was primarily Police or Government Agencies that applied. It is now more common, with the likes of ACC having private investigators, for other people to apply.

Note: Police are still required to execute the search warrants in those instances.

The majority of applications are made under the Summary Proceedings Act 1957 but search warrants can also be applied for and issued by the Registrar under various other Acts, eg:

Customs and Excise Act 1996, section 167

Fair Trading Act 1986, section 47

Fisheries Act 1996

Gambling Act 2003, section 340

Prostitution Reform Act 2003, section 27 and 30

Animal Welfare Act, section 131(1)

Film, Videos and Publication Classification Act 1993, section 109

Sale of Liquor Act 1989, section 177(1)

Note: Fisheries refers to Right of Entry but the process is the same.

Issuing a search warrant is one of the most important powers that a Registrar exercises because it allows the Police to breach an individuals human rights by searching their personal property. High priority is given to issuing search warrants, due to the need to balance civil liberties (an individuals freedom to use their property, and freedom from interference from the State) against the need to investigate crime.

A Registrar is not liable for anything in the warrant that is untrue, that is if an officer swears that it is, and it is not, the Registrar can not be to blame, although the Registrar must not sign and seal anything that does not seem right.

Although most applications are in writing and supported by an affidavit, if it seems proper to do so the Registrar may issue a search warrant on an application made on oath orally. But in that event he/she SHALL make a note in writing of the grounds of the application. Likewise if further information is required on a written application the applicant can be put on oath and questioned by the Registrar with a written record being kept.

If the application is in relation to a solicitor or doctors practice it should be referred to a Judge, usually in chambers. The issue in relation to these cases is that of confidentiality of information.

Another type of search warrant, but one which a Registrar doesn’t sign is a data search warrant. This is a warrant sought to search computer data bases of companies etc, where it becomes like spying sting on the ring involved. The Registrar will have the officer swear on the bible in front of a Judge in chambers, the Judge will sign to it, the Registrar will place on a seal on the envelope and this copy is locked away until the case is resolved (as the only other record of this undertaking)

The granting of a search warrant is a judicial act – not an administative one. The Registrar must be satisfied that there is reasonable grounds for belief. Suspicion is not enough.

27 April 2006

GREYMOUTH: West Coast police officer Peter James McCutcheon, 42, of Ross, has received a registrar’s remand to May 30, when he is expected to enter pleas to four charges related to alleged incidents in July and August last year.

Cutcheon is charged with two counts of dishonestly using phone records and two of making false statements under oath to obtain a search warrant.

Bent Greymouth cop to plead guilty

May 31, 2006

A West Coast police officer facing conviction on criminal charges is set to plead guilty, but he says he has no regrets.

Ross Constable Peter McCutcheon has been suspended on full pay since February. He was charged with two counts of dishonesty and three of making false statements following an audit of police paperwork.

McCutcheon has been in the police force for 15 years – four of those in Ross which has now been left with no local officer.

The community constable is accused of abusing his police powers. It is alleged he got warrants to check phone calls being made to his girlfriend, police Constable Lynda Hine.

The pair are still together and McCutcheon says he has no regrets despite the charges.

“What I did was wrong, but there were other ways they could have dealt with it, but this is the way they’ve chosen so that’s fine,” he told One News.

Hine was also suspended from her job in Greymouth in February and like McCutcheon has been on full pay.

Police say the ongoing internal disciplinary inquiry into Hine should be completed in a couple of weeks but she won’t face any criminal charges.

McCutcheon told One News that he will be pleading guilty and resigning from the police force in due course.

Police admit paying narks for drug-dealing info

30 May 2006

By MICHAEL CUMMINGS

Members of Palmerston North’s criminal underworld are being paid by police to nark on drug dealers.

The revelation came yesterday at the High Court trial in Palmerston North of a 40-year-old woman charged with possession of LSD for supply and possession of cannabis for sale.

Patricia May Walsh was found with 235 “trips” of LSD and almost a kilogram of cannabis in the boot of her car in Stillwater Place on December 2, 2004. The jury was told the drugs are worth as much as $14,000.

Walsh was also found with $1400 cash rolled up in a bundle in her pocket.

Palmerston North police Strategic Crime Unit head David Thompson, said the SCU received an anonymous phone call claiming Walsh was in possession of the drugs.

Under cross-examination from defence counsel Val Nisbet, Detective Thompson said some of the informants the SCU uses are from the criminal underworld and get paid for information “on occasions”.

How much was not disclosed.

Walsh told police she was giving a man she identified as Jason Whakarau a ride to a Freyberg Street address when he asked to stop at the Stillwater Place house to “score P”.

Det Thompson told the court Mr Whakarau was “in and out of the gang scene” and affiliated to the Mongrel Mob.

Acting on information from an anonymous tip-off, Detective Constable Matthew Akuhata and Constable Kimberley Hawkins of the SCU drove to Stillwater Place in an unmarked police car.

Walsh walked out of the address and was intercepted by the officers.

A search of her vehicle uncovered a bucket in the boot containing 935 grams of cannabis.

Walsh was arrested and yelled repeatedly “f–- you Jason, you nark” toward the house Mr Whakarau was in, Det Akuhata said.

Walsh told the officers she had been “framed”.

A search of Walsh at Palmerston North police station found a plastic pill bottle containing granules of LSD, a class A drug.

In an interview with Det Akuhata, Walsh said Mr Whakarau put the drugs in the boot of her car without her knowledge when she picked him up earlier that day. She said she picked the pill bottle up off the floor of the house in Stillwater Place, and didn’t know what was in it.

Det Akuhata said to Walsh: “I put it to you that the drugs do belong to you, that you’re making this up to avoid prosecution.”

“Knowing what sort of person Jason is and knowing what sort of backlash I’m going to receive for saying this, it’s Jason’s.

“I’ve gone down for him in the past and I’m not going down for him again. I’m scared of Jason, he threatens me all the time. He’s making me pay to live in Palmerston North. I know what the backlash will be. He’ll order a home invasion or burn my car or something.”

Walsh insisted the drugs did not belong to her.

“I’m not guilty, it’s not mine.”

There must be something you can do. I’m sure there’s a law that stops people from taking a case to court if they’ve done too many stupid ones in the past…so therefore surely there is one that’s applied to people who inform/complain to the police. Include that bee arch in your prayers.

…For a convicted drug dealer who was involved with the Mr Asia gang that …{{bribed many police officers,}}… imported so much heroin into Australia, New Zealand and Britain and murdered several people when they started talking? After being released from prison he then goes about getting himself charged with more drug offences and obtains a fake passport.

People who have a narcissistic personality style rather than narcissistic personality disorder are generally psychologically healthy, but may at times be arrogant, proud, shrewd, confident, self-centered and determined to be at the top. They do not, however, have an unrealistic image of their skills and worth and are not dependent on praise to sustain a healthy self-esteem.

Overreacts to criticism, becoming angry or humiliated

Uses others to reach goals

Exaggerates own importance

Entertains unrealistic fantasies about achievements, power, beauty, intelligence or romance

Has unreasonable expectations of favorable treatment

Seeks constant attention and positive reinforcement from others

Is easily jealous [4]

Has a sense of entitlement

Is interpersonally exploitative

Lacks empathy

Displays arrogant, haughty behaviours

[edit] Diagnostic criteria

At least five of the following are necessary for a diagnosis (as with many DSM diagnoses, they must form a pervasive pattern; for example, a person who shows these criteria only in one or two relationships or situations would not properly be diagnosed with NPD):

has a grandiose sense of self-importance

is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by other special people

requires excessive admiration

strong sense of entitlement

takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends

lacks empathy

is often envious or believes others are envious of him or her

A man convicted for disorderly behaviour for singing outside a police constable’s house has won an appeal in the Supreme Court.

The court allowed the appeal by Allistair Patrick Brooker, of Greymouth, and set aside his conviction.

Brooker was protesting against search warrants issued by police, outside Constable Fiona Croft’s home in March 2003 when he was arrested.

He was later charged with disorderly behaviour.

His protest — which lasted 15 minutes — involved him singing a song he had composed about police and holding a placard which read “Stop the Bogus Warrants”.

He did it in the morning knowing that the constable had been on duty the night before.

Brooker was convicted in Greymouth District Court and fined $300. He appealed the conviction all the way to the Supreme Court where he represented himself.

The Supreme Court decided by majority that his behaviour had not been disruptive of public order and therefore was not disorderly in the terms defined by the Summary Offences Act.

The New Zealand Bill of Rights gives everyone the right to freedom of expression.

Some people cannot imagine child sex abuse in church institutions yet it happens also.

I met Jack for all of 5 minutes recently. He said he had been in prison for 10 months on a charge of disorderly behaviour. He said he had been locked up because he blew the whistle on a murder cover-up by the Police. He exhorted me and a few others to see this site as we left the holding cell. He didn’t look too well but few in prison do. He was shaking with passion and umbrage – strained to the limit.

I asked the prisoner I was handcuffed to as we travelled to our court in a paddy wagon, “what do make of that guy’s story”? His reply was “Don’t take any notice. He’s crazy”. But that wasn’t my impression. My impression was of an intelligent, reasonable, well-intentioned, realistic man, but one at his wits’ end. I wonder if that would have been the case 10 years ago, or whether the events he has knowingly or inadvertently become involved in have broken him down.

Mr Van der Lubbe is clearly from southern Africa. It is good to see someone prepared to fight (lawfully) for justice as he sees it. We imagine things like Human Rights are respected throughout our country. But in my experience it is just window-dressing with regard to prisoners. I also know from experience that “rocking the boat” in NZ can rouse “the clobbering machine” which has a mind of its own and exists somewhere in the fabric of NZ society and is exhibited in various forms of violence and disingenuity.

I have no knowledge of these incidents and haven’t researched them. It is a disturbing picture nonetheless. What concerns me most of all is the status of Mr Van der Lubbe, who seems the most unlikely criminal or threat to society.

I am not playing any game! I’m still coming down from being in prison myself for the first time. I broke bail conditions by drinking alcohol at home when I was prohibited. So there is a way to instantly cure alcoholism!

I regret sending my comments before having read more of your site. The incidents in Northland are all rather disturbing, especially the use of firearms. I respect that you are determined to bring into the open the examples of disingenuity, collusion etc. as regards the Police.

On one hand, it is good you publish as many facts as possible, to back up your claims. On the other hand, insulting comments in brackets undermine the perception that you are level-headed and presenting info dispassionately.

I think the average kiwi would be disturbed by

a) your willingness to denounce your brother
b) that your young sons have been in danger
c) that a lot of Police time has been taken up with your disputes

It is can be impossible to achieve resolution of grievances and put all behind you if you are dogmatic and intransigent. I think you should act less hastily but with more consideration and strategic/tactical thinking. It should be possible to get through things like this and enjoy life, not have them drag you down. Be flexible like the bamboo not rigid like the tree which can snap in a strong wind!

The onus on you is to find a way to work effectively. I wish you would put your family’s peace and safety first. Anger is often counter-productive.

I believe you regarding gun cover-up in Wellington and the incidents in Raetihi. However, the Northland saga seems to be a case of disputes badly handled. I encourage you to think about how a mild-mannered person might have approached the same situation.

Good luck. I think you’ve done well to make this all available publicly. I think you’ll continue to find a bias against you in future complaints and actions involving the Police, because your reputation is already established as a persistent litigator – and because of the many statements by Police officers that you are difficult to deal with.

My advice is simply to look after yourself. Put your family before your cause.

ps I know there are currently serving Police officers of the highest integrity (earnestness, impartiality, honesty etc). I also know that there are officers of lower integrity. But the NZ Police can’t all be tarred with the same brush.

Goodbye, X

X

I’ve read some crap (lies) in my time X but that little lot certainly takes the biscuit. Why did you deem it necessary to write all those lies?

“a) your willingness to denounce your brother
b) that your young sons have been in danger
c) that a lot of Police time has been taken up with your disputes”

a) You of course, like the Police, would continue to cover-up a serious crime.
b) We were all in danger from the madman Britton but it’s the “Do nothing” Police who you should be pointing the finger at.
c) If the cops had acted without bias from the beginning countless police hours would have been saved.

“The onus on you is to find a way to work effectively.”

An approach to the local Labour MP seems to have done the trick X, wish I’d done it a lot sooner.

“I encourage you to think about how a mild-mannered person might have approached the same situation.”

I tried being “mild mannered” X, didn’t work, the opposition sees it as a sign of weakness and goes even harder.

“I think you’ll continue to find a bias against you in future complaints”

Hehe, you’re no wrong there X, they’ve been up to their old tricks again but I’ve got them by the short and curlies this time.

“ your reputation is already established as a persistent litigator – and because of the many statements by Police officers that you are difficult to deal with.”

I’ve taken out two private prosecutions in the past X that’s hardly “persistant” and it’s a police lie that I’m difficult to deal with. That assertion is nothing other than their untrue excuse for them being unable to bully me into submission.

Sir Allen Stanford, the Texan billionaire who ploughed millions of dollars into English cricket, may have been working as an informant for United States anti-drug agents in return for official protection which gave him free rein to run his banking empire, it emerged yesterday.

An investigation into the financier has found that just US$500 million ($819 million) of the claimed US$7.2 billion of deposits held by his Stanford International Bank, based in Antigua, has been traced by a British-based receiver who was called in by authorities when fraud allegations were laid against Stanford in February.

The resulting US$6.7 billion hole in the bank’s balance sheet, which leaves 28,000 depositors with near-worthless investment certificates, raises serious concerns about the extent to which officials in America and Britain were aware of Stanford’s personal finance issues and the activities of his banks long before the current economic crisis.

A BBC Panorama programme alleges that the 1.93m tall businessman may have been allowed to run his banking business unfettered for up to a decade because he was passing information on to America’s Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) about the money-laundering activities of drug baron clients from Colombia, Mexico and Venezuela.

His status as a confidential informant may explain why a US Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into his dealings in 2006 was quietly dropped following a request by another American government agency.

A source close to the DEA told Panorama: “We were convinced that Stanford’s bank attracted millions of narco-dollars but it was very difficult to get the evidence to nail him. The word is that Stanford has been a confidential informer for the DEA since at least 1999.”

Confidential documents show the British Foreign Office and the US authorities also knew as early as 1990 that Stanford, who was once listed as the 205th most wealthy man in the US with a personal fortune of US$2.2 billion, had been made personally bankrupt in 1984 after his first business, a chain of health clubs, went bust.

British authorities ceased their investigation into Stanford after he moved his operations from the volcanic island of Montserrat, a British overseas territory, to Antigua, which has been independent from Britain since 1981.

Stanford, 59, shot to prominence last year when he signed a multimillion-dollar deal to sponsor a Twenty/20 cricket tournament, culminating in a US$20 million match between England and an all-stars West Indian team. The billionaire was famously allowed to land his helicopter on the hallowed turf of Lords.

Perverting the course of justice #2

Just prior to the 1987 general election I happened to speak to Detective Colin Irvine at a Labour Party election meeting. I asked him if he was tooled up and he said, “discretely” and he then asked me a question about Eric ******. I don’t remember the question but I do remember replying, “Why what’s he done?” Irvine shook his head and refused to say what Eric had done. My asking about his tool/firearm must have twigged his memory.

Later Eric told me that a bloke had hassled him at a night club in Wellington/Porirua or thereabouts and Eric had pulled out his privately bought pistol (he thought he was James Bond) and had frightened the hassler off with it big time. He said, bloody good job that the bloke, in a panicked rush to get away, jumped over a wall, fell several meters and sustained fatal injuries on concrete below. He also said that Irvine was involved in the investigation (cover-up) and that Irvine was a real bastard. I remember seeing an item about the incident on TV (before Eric told me about it) and that the cops were appealing for witnesses.

Eric lost his firearms licence, got the sack from his flash (double-nought spy) job at the Security Intelligence Service and got away with manslaughter because the SIS and the cops, including Irvine, engaged in a conspiracy to cover up Eric’s crimes so as to save both organizations the embarrassment of having to admit that SIS had employed a pistol-packin plonker. Makes the pie and the Playboy in the briefcase scandal seem a bit lame. It’s easy to see why Irvine was so relaxed about vilifying my (nobody) name to the Ombudsman and posterity. Eric’s crimes, manslaughter, presenting a firearm, unlawful possession of a loaded and restricted firearm. Bound to be a few more charges that would have been thrown at a non protected joe blogs.

Accused officer takes stand in manslaughter case

Constable Clinton Lyall Hill, 34, who is still on the force but currently suspended, testified in the High Court at Auckland this morning as the sole witness in the defence’s case.

Hill is charged with the manslaughter of George Tipene Harris, 24, who died from injuries received after running in front of a truck in Auckland on October 3, 2004.

The Crown alleged Mr Harris was running away from Hill after being assaulted in the back of a police car – and that made Hill liable for manslaughter.

The Crown also alleged Hill later lied to cover up the assault.

The defence opened this morning with Hill on the stand.

When asked if he had assaulted Mr Harris, Hill replied: “No, I did not.”

He also said that when he found Mr Harris crushed by the street sweeper truck after chasing him, he was in “shock, disbelief.”

Hill was off duty when Mr Harris tried to take his cellphone, and he arrested him. He then hailed down a passing police car and got in the back, intending to take Mr Harris to a police station.

But the car stopped to check an abandoned car and Mr Harris ran off, said Hill.

Hill’s lawyer John Haigh said the alleged assault in the back of the patrol car never took place, therefore when George Harris ran off he was not fleeing because he feared violence.

“Accidents happen, tragic accidents like this which don’t have a criminal causation, a criminal culpability,” he said.

He said unless the Crown could prove Mr Harris was running away in fear of violence from Hill, the charge of manslaughter must fail.

Hill had always been consistent in what he had said about the incident and had not lied, Mr Haigh said.

In contrast, Mr Haigh said there were “inconsistencies of a serious nature in the Crown case.”

They were of “very real importance.”

Police assault, then death – new claim

March 29, 2008

A high-level police inquiry has started into claims a man was beaten in police custody shortly before being fatally injured when a street-sweeping truck hit him.

The man was being chased by an off-duty police officer when the vehicle struck him. Police have confirmed the case is being reviewed but won’t comment on the Weekend Herald’s understanding that new information includes the claim the man was assaulted in custody.

If this were established, it could result in a charge of manslaughter.

Fork-hoist driver George Tipene Harris was 24 when he died from injuries caused when the truck hit him early on October 3, 2004.

An inquest in 2005 heard conflicting evidence about what happened just before the accident, but nothing in evidence then available suggested Mr Harris had been assaulted.

The Independent Police Conduct Authority (formerly the Police Complaints Authority) made an inquiry in 2004.

Its report has not been made public.

Detective Superintendent Malcolm Burgess yesterday confirmed he was looking into the matter.

“I am reviewing new information and will make a decision about the direction of new inquiries.”

Mr Burgess said the matter was at an early and sensitive stage and he would make no further comment.

Police pair sentenced to jail over cover-up

August 30, 2008

Benson Murphy (left) and Reuben Harris, pictured yesterday, were allowed to go home because their jail sentence is under appeal.

Two policemen have been sentenced to 15 months in prison for covering up for a constable who beat a relative of theirs in the back of their patrol car.

The victim fled from the alleged assault into the path of an oncoming street-sweeping truck and was killed.

Constables Reuben James Harris and Benson Lyle Murphy had initially protected colleague Constable Clinton Hill, who allegedly assaulted George Tipene Harris while off-duty in the back of their police car. Hill now faces a manslaughter charge.

Reuben Harris and Murphy pleaded guilty this month to conspiring to defeat the course of justice. Another police officer, who allegedly spoke to Hill at the scene, is also charged with conspiring to pervert the course of justice.

Lawyers lodged an appeal immediately after the sentencing yesterday and the two men were granted bail until their next court appearance.

The court heard that following a night drinking on October 3, 2004, Hill arrested George Harris in Manukau after he attempted to grab a phone from his pocket to call a taxi.

Murphy and Reuben Harris stopped in their patrol car and agreed to take Hill and Mr Harris to the station.

Reuben Harris said Murphy got out of the car and Hill asked him to drive down an alleyway and then began assaulting the victim.

George Harris escaped and Hill gave chase. Murphy and Reuben Harris later found Hill kneeling over Mr Harris’s body on Great South Rd. The victim was believed to be a second cousin of Reuben Harris and a distant relative of Murphy.

Murphy said a sergeant who arrived at the scene told him and Harris what to say in their statements to investigators, which involved leaving out the alleged assault.

In March this year, a former officer told police that Murphy had told him before the 2005 inquest that his account to investigators was false.

Police reinterviewed Murphy, who had become a recruit with the Queensland police, and Reuben Harris, who had resigned from the force in December 2006, and the pair admitted making false statements.

About 15 family members were in court to support Murphy and Reuben Harris, who has six children. About three members of George Harris’s immediate family were also in court supporting the accused.

The men have agreed to testify against their former colleagues.

They have met the victim’s family, who have accepted their apology.

Murphy’s lawyer, Todd Simmonds, said the pair were the whistleblowers, not the main offenders.

In his sentencing, Judge Charles Blackie said he accepted that the officers were the “junior partners in this conspiracy” but were not whistleblowers as Murphy had spoken to a former police officer.

“There are two victims here. The victim’s family, and the New Zealand community as a whole who have put such trust in our police officers to uphold the law and do the duty that they swore they would do upon graduating out of police college.”

7.       SIS dont carry firearms and arent issued with them. I imagine you have a fairly ordinary boring life to even think this could happen.

A cop

8.       I know that SIS dont carry firearms A cop, he was off duty and it was his own pistol, bought privately with his own money.

Jack

9.       So your saying an SIS agent purchased a pistol off duty and used it to threaten a man who then fell over a wall and died.

Do believe in aliens? Did the abduct your brain?

11.   Wow, a cop is actually reading your story Jack. I think its a real cop too. I can tell by the poor spelling and bad syntax.

Too educated to be a cop

13.   Interesting story which up until a couple of years ago I would have had difficulty in believing.However the Police consider they are above the law and get involved in civil matters as if they are immune to the ramifications of the situation they cause or imflame even when the civil matter proves to be in favour of the party that the police have infringed upon.The law of Tort makes the police personally liable for any damages they cause,with of course the Commissioner of P.second defendant.My advice is to take a private criminal prosecution against any police officer or for that matter SIS whom infringe upon you.The Police Complaints Authority is a toothless wonder.It costs $30.00 to prosecute and any one can prosecute.Don’t whinge take action

14.   The older I get the less faith I have in the Police. I have had many dealings with them and from both sides of the fence and all I can say is they are a very deveit, dishonest self righteous lot. My son wanted to joined the force when he gets older but I will be discouraging this very much. Unforunately lying is a big part of this particular occupation. Reality is, its actually very sad just how corrupt our system, the law makers and inforcers in this beautiful country is.

15.   Surprizing as it may seem there are actually good cops in this country. I have every reason to hate cops because they have ruined my life and destroyed my family with their stupidity but I always ballance this by the fact that during my trials and tribulations I did meet good cops and lots of them. Judging by my own experience and the experience of those around me, the bad cops are in the minority and are being rapidly cleaned up. Hopefully before too long, every last croocked cop will be exposed and thrown out. Unfortunately that is not the end of the problem, most of those crooks end up being employed by security companies and then contracted for their skills by…you guessed it the police and the justice department where they continue to be crooks.

16.   The police have now brought a third case against me and guess what,again dismissed.We do indeed have a very few good police but they are soon tainted or sent to coventry by the system.It is time that we as a nation stand up and say no.We have a judiciary that is fundamentally flawed by the slowness of getting any redress through the court.we have a totally ineffective police complaints authority and a police force who considers itself to be above the law.1000 new police hardly makes up for those on suspension(full pay mind you)and facing criminal charges.We demand a total revamp of police complaints and an overhaul of the justice system.

James Gollan

17.   I agree with you James.
These pricks (NZ Police) charged me for assault on two females, arrested me (because i was the male and it was two females words against mine), refused to do a full investigation at the scene, locked me up, forced me into bail conditions (blackmail as far as I was concerned), refused me the right to return home (forced to remove all my belongings and children and relocate out of town at my own exspense), taken to court, refused the right to make my complaints at the police station at Auckland Central numerous times, lied to by the constable on the front counter and a senior officer as to the procedure for making a complaint against the police; and the list goes on. Bribed in court during proceedings by Police prosecutions on two separate occasions via what they call “plea bargains”, basically breaching my human right to a fair trial.
Once it was proven that I was not guilty by any degree, not even a single apology or any offer to make amends. All I have received is constant delays from their system, feeble excuses and a serious lack of professionalism.
So many of my humans rights have been broken that I have lost count.
Then when it gets to court one of the females “owns up” whilst on the stand declaring my innocence and confessing what I had said right from the beginning that it was me that was attacked and all I did was use minimum force to defend myself.
This is not the first time I have been taken advantage of from the police in New Zealand, but I will not be letting them get away with it this time.
I am currently in the process with the Human Rights Commission where a claim for damages is in progress where I intend the High Court to hear the evidence against the Police. I figure a good value of lets say $100,000.00 per breach for each of my human rights would be a fair starter.

PS I hope know one ever has to go through what they have put me through.

19.   i no from experience that if you lay a complaint with the police them selves they take a statment of you twist it the fuck up then and only then they send it of to the “police complaints authority”. i made a complaint with them about assualt on me by 3 ociffers. this was in janurary 2007. still havnt haerd anything from “PCA” which has me wondering if they have even passed it on. the palmerston north police are a currupt bunch of fuckwits who think its reasonable to leave a man paralysed with a broken neck in a cell whilst they stand outside his cell laughing at him….

20.   I have certainly had my share of corrupt police trying it on with me. Then they have the cheek to write on my police file that I am difficult to deal with, the only reason I am difficult to deal with is because I know the law better than they do. I have had my rights abused on a number of occasions and will not stand for it from police that are public servants and are supposed to treat the public with respect. I have had maybe 2 police in my whole life that I have been impressed with and I have thought if only all police were like that, the rest of the police I have dealt with have been ass holes on power trips. The police are a law unto themselves and are thick as the thieves and will protect each other until they are caught red-handed and then say “well we didnt know that was going on”
There a 4 police officers in the dock today in the Tauranga court all up for assault on a 20 year old with 2 batons and loads of pepper spray, I must add with *17 years* of experience between the 4 of them. And I must add all 4 of them have QC lawyers…( I bet they cost a bundle) and I bet the taxpayer will be footing the bill!!
http://www.infonews.co.nz/news.cfm?l=50&t=103&id=22364
So looking at this incident what it would say to the public is that if you refuse to do what your told we “the police” will beat you into submission until you do what we tell you and if you dare try and come up against us the taxpayer (the whole of NZ)will support (and pay) for us in court.
I certainly hope that these 4 policeman are publicly made an example of and are sent to prison. But no doubt watch this space they will get off by telling the jury that he was mentally unstable and the beating was reasonable force.
What I would like to see happen is those 4 cops put in a cell with a real nasty mongrel mob member thats twice their size, handcuffed and beaten the shit out of to see what its like.
Burn bad cops burn.
And last but not least
“If ignorance is bliss then take back the smile off my face”

21.   No others sought in death of man with wrists bound
16 Sep 2008

The death of a transient man whose body was found under an Auckland wharf last month has been referred to the coroner, with police saying no one else was involved in his death.

Selwyn Wallace, 52, was found floating under Wynyard Wharf in downtown Auckland on August 17.

His wrists and ankles were bound.

However, police said today they were not looking for anyone in relation to his death.

“It is a matter for the coroner now,” said police spokeswoman, Noreen Hegarty.

She said police believed no one else “as far as we know” was involved in his death.

Police earlier said he was alive when he entered the water and post-mortem results showed no injuries.

Mr Wallace had been discharged from an acute psychiatric unit shortly before he died.

22.   #1 Christ Almighty – I remember the one in Auckland – late 80s, early 90s…where guy stole cop car outside police station and parked it in police car park – when cops went to investigate – offender ripped off dope evidence in lockers using car as getaway vehicle – cops didnt lock the back door of police station – hahahaha – I know its sad but very funny.

23.   21 – Auckland cops have always been of no particlar help. Remember the young Poly girl who despite having massive bruising around her genital region, was found naked and dead. Cops said she drowned under no suspicious circumstances. She was a state of ward (under CYFs care)… farkin ridiculous bastards.

24.   Rawiri Falwasser

The CCTV footage, which captures eight hours of real time but has been condensed into just under three hours, starts at 12.41 on October 23 2006, and shows police trying to coax Mr Falwasser into the cell.

For the next hour, Mr Falwasser is pacing around the cell and uniformed police and other people are seen trying to talk to him through a Perspex wall on the cell.

About 2.30pm three police officers come into the room outside his cell and one of them pepper sprays him through the open sliding door of the cell. He holds up his arms in defence but continues being pepper sprayed.

There are now four police officers in the room. Another of officers lunges at Mr Falwasser with what appears to be a baton. By this time there are seven police in the room.

They then close the door to the cell.

Then three of them leave. Mr Falwasser is holding his hands over his eyes and this continues for several minutes with police coming back and forth into the room outside his cell.

At 2.37pm, an officer comes into the room outside his cell holding a baton, and between 2.38 and 2.53 police continue pepper spraying Mr Falwasser sporadically through vents in his cell wall.

Earlier, IT specialist Russell Orr, who installed the surveillance equipment, today told the court there was no attempt to make the cameras secret.

The four defendants have been on bail since their first appearance in December 2006 and been suspended from their jobs since the criminal charges were laid.

It was announced that the media have won the right to air the video footage
despite several attempts by police to have the footage confiscated and destroyed. “It is in the interest of full justice that the footage be made freely and uninterruptedly available to the media”…”the police have used unreasonable force… force that ensured the death of Mr Falwasser… I can only (strongly) suggest that the family of Rawiri Falwasser seek private prosecution….” Judges issuance.

I ascertain that justice was most certainly not served that day.

25.   What do you expect in this country that almost had a serial rapist as commissioner of police and a so called justice system that let two convicted rapists hide behind a police commissioners uniform.The police in this country get away with murder,rape, beatings, beating their wife’s and children,repeat drunken driving,lies,cover-ups,and perjury.One law for policeman,all blacks and millionaires.No justice for Louise Nicholas,no justice for anyone.

I didnt provoke them, or even talk to them. I think in total I said about 3 sentences to them. I just went about getting my stuff to leave and when I tried to give my daughter her toothbrush, they started pushing and shoving me around and then next min without warning I was grabbed by the neck from behind, head smashed, daughter screaming………

To beat a defensless women…….if they can do that…….no morals, ethics etc, then they will stop at nothing………. my family and I are scared.

36.   SIS reveals secret files

28 January 2009

release of Security Intelligence Service (SIS) files on individuals has revealed for the first time how far the shadowy service reached into the lives of activist and non-activist New Zealanders.

In response to the SIS relaxing its approach to redundant files, the word has got out.

A flood of files is reaching the people spied on, with most of the clandestine reporting referring to legitimate protest and political activity.

In November, Murray Horton, a former railway worker, applied for the file on the Campaign Against Foreign Control of Aotearoa (Cafca), an organisation he helped found.

He received 400 documents, including a cover letter from SIS head Dr Wayne Tucker. It said the spying had stopped.

The file presented a “fascinating and disturbing pattern of systematic covert state surveillance of many, many organisations and many hundreds, if not thousands, of people over decades”, Horton said.

He had seen other files. One showed the SIS had started monitoring an activist when she was 10.

An SIS spokesman said the service had adopted an archives policy in 2003 to aid “the proactive declassification of historical records”.

“A key element of the archives policy is that the SIS will deal impartially with information, regardless of whether it reflects unfavourably on the service or shows the service in a good light,” he said.

“Subsequent publicity has led to an increase in requests for access to personal information … The service has made every endeavour to be forthcoming.”

The greater openness had been well-received, with 26 people being sent their personal files last year.

“Recipients of declassified SIS reports have generally viewed them in their historical context and realised that the service’s methods and information-collection priorities have altered over the years as the nature and perceptions of threats to security have changed.”

The identity of agents and sources of information was deleted from the files, the spokesman said.

So much for democracy, Horton said.

“Our own little country has been proven to behave towards its dissidents in much the same way as the Communist police states that it used to rail against,” he said.

The worst of it was that the Cafca file and others released indiscreet and personally damaging material about named third parties who were not the subject of the surveillance but simply caught up in its net, he said.

“A lot of it is salacious gossip, with analyses of named people’s marriage problems, drinking habits, etc, etc,” Horton said.

“Some of it is laughable, like a report dedicated to the likely impact of feminism and different gender views on abortion on the marriages of named couples.”

One report contained this reference to Horton: “He likes the sound of his own voice and keeps interrupting the other speakers.”

Bill Rosenberg, 57, who is a member of Cafca, told the Press he had received his personal file, some of the file kept on his late father, Canterbury University economist Wolfgang Rosenberg, a refugee from Nazi Germany, and also the file on his mother.

The deputy director of the centre for teaching and learning at Canterbury University said he had never been a member of a political party but had been in several anti-war protest groups since his youth.

His father’s file showed he had been followed when he went around the country giving talks to groups. His mother was also monitored because of her membership of the New Zealand Communist Party in her youth and her involvement in organisations such as the Housewives Union.

His father’s application for a professorship at Victoria University was noted, and he wondered if the SIS had intervened to ensure it failed.

The files reflected the paranoia of the McCarthy era but also the particular views of SIS staff, Rosenberg said. “The release of the files marks a significant change in that degree of paranoia and that view of the world.”

His file contained mainly comments about him by Socialist Unity Party and Communist Party members at private meetings. Most disturbing was the car registration numbers taken when people visited his house after he had returned from overseas.

The picture emerging from the files was a “huge mixture of time-serving stuff” and reports about innocuous events, Rosenberg said.

The lack of sophistication was startling and little analysis was done on why activities were suspicious.

The vast majority of reporting was about “perfectly legitimate political activity by people who had a different view to the status quo”, Rosenberg said.

37.   Green MP: SIS has been spying on me

Feb 08, 2009

Green MP Keith Locke says the SIS has intruded upon his life, and the democratic process. Photo / Dean Purcell
The Security Intelligence Service has been spying on an MP’s private life and his communications with constituents, he says.

Green MP Keith Locke, a former peace activist, applied under the Privacy Act to have his top-secret security file released – revealing what he describes as distasteful intrusion into his personal life and unacceptable intrusion into the democratic process.

The declassified file showed that he had previously been covertly photographed, that the SIS had kept track of his private work with constituents and that he had been monitored in other ways as late as 2006.

He is demanding assurances that the monitoring will not continue, and calling for tighter Government control and public accountability for the so-called spooks. “Clearly the SIS has been operating without adequate government oversight,” he said.

Both Prime Minister John Key and his predecessor, Helen Clark, said they were never told that the SIS was spying on MPs.

John Key said he had not authorised any surveillance warrant or investigation into a sitting MP. “There would need to be demonstrable evidence any individual presented a security risk before I would issue a warrant,” he added.

Warrants to mount covert surveillance operations, like phone bugging, are overseen by Sir John Jeffries, the Commissioner of Security Warrants.

Last night, the SIS issued a statement saying it was “not actively” investigating any sitting MP. It acknowledged that some recorded information might have been very personal and sensitive – including convictions, adoptions, personal finances, physical and mental health – and said that would not be disclosed.

“The practices of the NZSIS that are reflected in some of the personal files are of a different era,” the statement said. “They were meticulous in detail and often contained material that would not be collected today.”

Locke is the son of prominent environmentalists and Communist Party members Jack and Elsie Locke – they were reportedly described by former Prime Minister Robert Muldoon as the most notorious Communist family in the country.

Some of the 400-plus documents in Locke’s security file date back to when he was 11 years old.

Keith Locke joined the Socialist Action League in 1970. He was too radical for Labour, which tried to expel him in 1974. He joined the Greens and in 1999 he entered Parliament. He campaigned strongly against New Zealand’s imprisonment of Algerian dissident Ahmed Zaoui, which was supported by the SIS.

Green Party co-leader Jeanette Fitzsimons said such surveillance of Locke would be a “huge discredit” to the SIS.

“MPs are elected by the people. To have the secret service spying on them is hugely anti-democratic,” she said.

Fitzsimons and Maori Party MP Hone Harawira will both be requesting their SIS files.

Harawira said he had been subjected to SIS surveillance as a member of the protest movement, before entering Parliament, and had once spotted his file while in police custody – alleging that he had been involved in an arms deal on a boat in Whangaparaoa Harbour.

Green MP Sue Bradford said she had been spied on by the police’s criminal intelligence branch and had her phone tapped while she was involved with the Unemployed Workers Rights Centre. She did not know whether the SIS had also spied on her.

“I remember coming back from the shops with my husband and children, unpacking the shopping and looking up and seeing two guys with a camera filming us. It was quite extraordinary; it led us to believe we were being spied on in our private lives.”

Veteran anti-apartheid and human rights campaigner John Minto claimed the SIS “wouldn’t hesitate” to spy on a serving MP. ” It’s very worrying. These people (SIS) are simply above the law and the democratic process. They see politicians as being meddlers.”

Former Labour leader Helen Clark, Prime Minister for almost all of Locke’s Parliamentary career, said she had no knowledge of the SIS spying on Locke or any other MP.

* Oops! Not so secret activities

In 1981, the SIS was criticised for drawing up a list of 20 “subversives” involved in protests against the Springbok Tour.

The same year an SIS operative mistakenly left a briefcase containing sandwiches, a Listener magazine and a diary on a journalist’s fence in Wellington.

In 1996, two agents broke into the home of anti-free trade activist Aziz Choudry. He was awarded an out-of-court settlement and a Crown apology.

In 2002, the SIS certified Algerian asylum-seeker Ahmed Zaoui a security risk. After a legal challenge to the certificate’s reliability, he was allowed to stay in New Zealand.

Hone Harawira, now a Maori Party MP, was once arrested and secured by plastic wrist ties to a scaffold with fellow protesters . But the protesters moved the scaffold to read their files while police were away. His contained allegations he had done an arms deal on a boat in Whangaparaoa Harbour.

38.   regarding the death of George Tipene Harris, there was no truck involved in his death. The cops involved murdered him. There is no accident report with the truck company regarding this accident. They can only acknowledge that the driver used to work for them. George’s leg was amputated, to this day no one in the police or involved that night has answered this question to his family, what part of the truck cut his leg off. Oh and get this, the truck involved and the driver were mysteriously sent away by mistake from the officers at the scene, even before the ambulance arrived 4 minutes after the 111 call. Can someone explain to me is it possible that a vehicle that cut off a mans leg, the vehicle and driver is sent away immedeiately from the scene, even before the ambulance arrives in 4 minutes to take away the dying man lying on the road with his leg cut off. The public are not aware of George’s injuries. Only months later did it come out that he suffered a beating at the hands of police officers. All the officers involved that night should be facing charges of murder, not the pathetic charges they are facing at the moment, they are a joke. This is a police and government cover up. Theres no way it could be exposed that 4 police officers were involved in the death George Harris, there would be anarchy. Superintendant Malcolm Burgess heading a so called new inquiry is also heavily involved in the cover up of Georges death and has even threatened a member of the victims family for trying to expose the truth. One day the truth will be exposed. George is not the only murder victim at the hands of these evil men and he surely will not be the last until they are exposed for their wickedness.

 “They are hell on earth once they want to get a man.” – J Mulgan.

In 1988 we moved to Whangarei and built a house on a few acres at Three Mile Bush. We only had one hiccup, neighbour wise, when one morning we started building at 7.45 am and our nearest neighbour Chris Black appeared at our boundary fence and demanded we stop our work or he would “Ram my hammer up my arse.”

I told him where to go and filed the matter away. Sandra (the wife) tried to reason with him but he stormed off spluttering about us having a nerve building our house in view of his and invading his privacy. He must have been smouldering about it since we started building.

I didn’t report the matter of Black’s threatening behaviour to the cops, the less I saw of them the better.

A few months later Black discovered, to his horror, that he didn’t have the legal right to use his septic tank that was on our side of the boundary fence on an easement. A lawyer cock-up apparently. I wonder why he went to see a lawyer? Anyway, instead of keeping it under his hat, (we had no idea) the dozy sod tries to put matters right by sending some bloke with a legal form round for me to sign. Black also apologised to Sandra for his earlier moronic behaviour. (he needed us now) I declined to sign the form. The ‘form’ bloke agreed with me saying that he wouldn’t have signed it either. We allowed Black to continue to use his illegal septic tank.

All went well over the next 18 months. We finished our house, the Blacks ignored us (apology forgotten) and we reciprocated by not even bothering to ignore them.

“Foul whispering abroad.” Shakespeare.

Then the Cullums’ moved in along another of our boundaries.

I had agreed to build a new boundary fence between the Cullums’ and us but because I took a bit long in doing it, I had a crook back at the time, Gary Cullum decided he would hurry me up by denouncing me to the Social Welfare. I had also earlier agreed with Cullum that he could top up his rainwater tank from our pump supply that was on our easement on his land. He was allowed to take water between the hours of midnight and 6am. He in turn agreed to pay for half the power and maintenance of the water pump.

Cullum got nowhere with his D.S.W. denunciation so he then started to abuse his water rights by taking water outside the times he had agreed to.

Because our house was higher up than Cullums’ our water supply would stop when they took water from our pipeline. We had no header tank and there was not enough pressure for two houses at once. I asked Cullum why he was taking water during the day and he replied, ‘Because your fence is no good.’ I had finished the fence at last. I told him to stick to the times agreed to. He promised that he would. The fence was ‘no good’ in Cullum’s eyes because I had used half round posts and not full round posts. ‘It’s not legal’ he whined. Of course he was wrong.

Then one afternoon while Sandra was having her after work shower our water stopped again. Cullum had turned it on at his place to water their garden. I shouted at him, ‘Turn the fucken water off.’ I had lost all patience with him. You tend to do that when you are maliciously denounced to government departments and agreements are repeatedly broken. Next day Sandra and I were both served, by a bailiff, with trespass notices from Cullum and his de-facto Jill Hayward. Some know-nothing down at the Whangarei courthouse had told them that they could stop us having access to our water supply on our easement on Cullum’s land.

And then they got real dirty!

Note: ‘I have advised Cullum/Gary of the result to date.’ And also notice how the dirty liars had already told the cops that I had been trespassing on their place.

Constable Rudsdale told me during his legalised home invasion that Telecom workers, who he said were working outside Black’s house, had complained to the Police. He lied to protect his informant just as Irvine had done but then failed to black out Cullum’s name on the Report Form. You will notice that the informant ‘Cullum/Gary’ was told of the result to date. I knew who had done the dirty deed but I didn’t kick up a stink, no mileage in that. That evening I was twiddling the dial on my multi band radio (sw1) when I heard a voice I recognised. I cranked up my tape recorder. I thought that a good idea considering what had happened earlier in the day.

The following is a transcript of the conversation between two of our other neighbours, both allegedly intelligent females, who would be regarded as reliable witnesses in the eyes of the Police and most Judges. I was pretty bloody shocked to hear that I was reputed to be, among many outrageous things, an abuser of my two boys. I was able to hear this broadcast because the Blacks used a cordless phone.

“It has been very truly said that the mob has many heads but no brains.” Rivarol.

6/12/1990 Evening. Mrs. Black to Mrs. Thompson.

B…’Now I’m going to fill you in on some amazing gossip.’

T…’Oh neat, goody.’

B…’Gary Cullum.’

T…’Who?’

B…’Gary Cullum, you know the guy who’s built that place you call shanty town.’ (Says a lot doesn’t it?)

T…’Oh yes, yes, yep.’

B…’Chris has spoken to him a couple of times before and he rang this morning at half past six and he rang to say that Van Der Lubbe has been causing a bit of trouble.’

T…’Yea I heard that, Cathy said he had.’

B…’When did you hear?’

T…’Oh a couple of days ago Cathy was saying that there was a lot of trouble about the water or something. Yea he cut the water pipes and pulled up the alkathene piping. He was saying filthy words to Mrs. Cullum when she went down to the water tank.’ (Like I’d cut up my own pipes.)

B…’Yea.’

T…’Anyhow go on.’

B…’Then he said you know it’s getting quite bad, um that’s just one of the things. Anyway he rang at half past six this morning and he and Chris were having a bit of a chat saying you know that things were bad and blah, blah, blah and also he rang to ask if we heard a rifle shot last night.’

T…’Really!’

B…’Which I did, I was in the computer room on the computer and I heard this gun go off about nine o’clock and I heard this big bang and it sounded fairly close. Well I didn’t investigate, when you live in the country if people want to let off guns that’s….’ (Not concerned in the slightest)

T…’Yea that’s right I often hear them at the back here.’

B…’Hmm. Anyway he rang this afternoon and he wanted to talk to Chris and Chris wasn’t home. He said to me “Have you seen any action at the Van Der Lubbes?” and I said, “Well I’ve really just gotten home.” And he said that they are getting the phone put in and Van Der Lubbe doesn’t ….Mr. Cullum wanted to put a um, um an underground cable in but because the ground’s too rocky he has to put power lines through. And Van Der Lubbe’s gone absolutely berserk and said that that’s just not on that he will have to look out and see these power lines. And Telecom men arrived today to install a portable phone just to do in the mean time till they get their other one and he fired two shots over their heads.’

T…’Oh really! Today?’

B…’Yes.’

T…’Oh man!’

B…’And Gary said last night when the gun went off he said, we didn’t know where it came from but he said it was awfully close and we were just so frightened.’ (Black who was “fairly close”, 30 meters or so, thought it no big deal and not worth investigating.)

T…’Oh they should have called the Police straight away.’

B…’Well I think they did, I think they did last night. Anyway he must have phoned the Police again this morning or today after he’d fired at them and cause he was lucky enough to have the Telecom guys there who saw it.’

T…’Shit I bet they were bloody scared some mad cunt firing at….’

B…’Right, he probably went off his rocker when he saw Telecom come in to install the phone.’

T…’Pardon, was that about nine o’clock?’

B…’I don’t know Robyn.’

T…’I went to work about ten to nine, I saw some men which I presume were, I thought they were post and telegraph vehicles outside Cullum’s driveway.’

B…’Right. So he phoned the Police and the Police checked up and he doesn’t have a firearms licence.’

T…’Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha.’

B…’Not up here he doesn’t.’

T…’Oh.’

B…’But they are going to check and see if he has one from wherever he came from, if not they’ll charge him, they’ll book him, they’ll actually arrest him.’

T…;Really!’

B…’And he said, ‘had we seen the Police out’ and Chris said ‘he had at four o’clock’ and I said that’s when Gary said they were due to arrive and so we don’t know if he’s been arrested or not.’

T…’Well I saw him, um I went to get Peter, I left about half past three.’

B…’Yea.’

T…’He must have an old man staying with him.’

B…’He has.’

T…’His father?’

B…’I think it’s probably hers.’

T…’And I could see him standing under the veranda there.’

B…’Yea.’

T…’Um I couldn’t see any sign of Police and then I came back up the road at quarter past four.’

B…’Right, but when I was talking to Gary Cullum he said, that guy has threatened us with so much.’ (Cullum later admitted to Police that I had never threatened them but he still maintained that they ‘ran in fear of what I might do to them.’)

T…’Really, I didn’t, I mean I’ve heard from Cathy (another neighbour also poisoned by Cullum) because she was quite friendly with them. (Us.) She used to go up there for visits, um they have often said to her that they can’t stand him (Cullum) and all that stuff but I didn’t think things were really that bad with them. And then Cathy just told me the other day that he had been using filthy language to Mrs. Cullum when she went down when their water got cut off.’ (I asked her if she was a bit nutty for trying to stop me using my easement and to watch out for the men in white coats.)

B…’Yea, and he said that he’s been doing that again today.’

T…’Really!’

B…’Yea. So I said to him, you must feel so frightened, he said yes we do.’ (They were so frightened it caused them to wave and smile at us every time they saw us.)

T… ‘Because a guy like that is unpredictable.’

B…’Yea.’

T…’He could go off and completely go loopy.’

B…’Yea.’

T…’I mean we could have another bloody Aramoana with that guy around.’  (Hysteria setting in.)

B…’Yea.’

T…’Hey but why didn’t the Police come up straight away because that’s pretty serious?’

B…’I don’t know Robyn.’

T…’Have the Telecom guys reported the matter?’

B…’Yea, Yea.’

T…’Oh they have good.’

B…’Yea they said that they would be prepared to be witnesses.’

T…’Oh good.’

B…’I said to him, you were very fortunate that they were there.’

T…’But did he actually fire at them or at Mr. Cullum?’

B…’No over their heads.’

T…’Well even so over the Telecom guys….’

B…’Yea well I suppose Mr. Cullum was out there as well. But Robyn he lives about twenty yards from our bedroom window.’

T…’I know, I know and I tell you what I wouldn’t like to live with that guy around…’ (Two years of peace, not counting Black’s outburst, and suddenly I’m another David Grey.)

B…’I know Robyn.’

T…’What are you going to do? I think you should ring the Police and tell them you’re frightened.’ (Start telling hysterical lies.)

B…’Ummm.’

T…’Because it’s the unpredictability of someone like that.’

B…’Yea Yea I know, and Gary Cullum dobbed him into the Social Welfare.’

T…’Good job, what for?’

B…’And he thinks it’s us.’ (Why would we think that? Because Chris Black had done it a year earlier in retaliation for us having woken him up at 7.45am. Threatening me with violence wasn’t enough he had to denounce me to the Social Welfare as well.)

T…’Ha, Ha Trevor says ‘are them neighbours fuedin,’ he says he’d offer his protection services for…..per hour per night ha, ha.’

(A few months later “Trevor” got caught out with explosives he had perked/stolen from the Papakura Military Base. He was in the Territorials but because he was a “friend” of the corrupt system, a bailiff, he was allowed to get away with theft and possession/use of stolen explosives.)

B…’Oh Robyn!’

T…’But I wonder if his parents are up because he’s sort of going off the deep end.’

B…Oh I don’t know. They have been up before.’

T…’So do you not know if the Police have actually come up or not?’

B…’I know they’ve been up but I don’t know if he’s there or not.’

T…’If who’s where?’

B…’If Van Der Lubbe is in the house or whether he’s been arrested. See if they arrested him he’d be down at the Police Station.’

T…’But for something like that…..’

B…’Well Gary Cullum said he thought that the Police gave him the impression they would hold him for four days.’

T…’Really!’

B…”Yea.”

T…’As I say I definitely saw him when I went to get Peter and that was about…’

B…’Yes that was before the Police came out.’

T…’Right, it’s not going to be safe with someone like that living…..we don’t want people like that living here.’

B…’No.’

T…’This is what happens, people are complacent, they think oh well you know and then.’

B…’But we can’t do anything about it Robyn.’

T…’If enough of us rang up the Police and said we are not satisfied with what’s going on, we are not satisfied with what they’re doing about it and we want to know what the story is we’ve all got children you know, well what’s going on.’

B…’Yea.’

T…’If enough of us do it it’s gonna make them think twice.’

B…’Ummm.’ (Witch-hunt.)

T…’You know when Cathy’s cat was killed, cause you know their cat was perfectly healthy.’

B…’Pardon?’

T…’When Cathy’s cat was….a perfectly healthy cat and it disappeared and it was missing for days and Greg finally found it behind…oh some bushes somewhere and they still think he poisoned it.’ (If a cat went missing I must have murdered it.)

B…’Is that right?’

T…’He hates animals.’

B…’Yea well we were, you know when our cat went missing?’

T…’Yea.’

B…’It had been over there and I suppose we’re just lucky that it’s still alive.’

T…’Cathy said he’s cruel because she seen him be cruel to Flyn.’

B…’Yea.’

T…’Not just like getting annoyed with the dog for being somewhere he, it shouldn’t be but really cruel.’

B…’Yea.’

T…’Put the boot into the dogs stomach, in front of her too.’  (A knee in the chest when it jumped up at me.)

B…’Ummm.’

T…’She was just shocked, she is the sort of person who loves animals.’

B…’Ummm.’

T…’He’s just cruel.’

B…’Yea.’

T…’I don’t actually know the Cullums but I’ve waved out to them when I’ve….but that’s about all I’ve had to do with them.’

B…”Ummm yea.’ (But I believe every bit of malicious gossip they say about third parties.)

T…’And what does Chris think about the whole thing, does he think the Police should do anything?’

B…’Oh he thinks it’s a bit of a joke.’

T…’t’s a bit of a joke if it’s not you that’s…or it’s something you read about in the newspaper and see on TV.’

B…’Yea.’

T…’Time and time again things like that have happened and things have escalated.’

B…’Yea.’

T…’Small beginnings.’

B…’Ummm.’

T…’Especially with someone like him who is to put it mildly eccentric isn’t he?’

B…’Yes, Yea definitely. So anyway I thought I’d fill you in, I thought you’d like to hear that bit of news.’

T…’Yea we’ll have to wait and see what the outcome is.’

B…’Yea.’

T…’I know that Cathy was saying that he told the Cullums that he was taking them to Court about the water.’

B…’Yea.’

T…’Or something like that.’

B…’Yea, Yea.’

T…’It’s a pity the sale on his place fell through isn’t it?’

B…’Yea. Oh I nearly came down tonight. If you’d have been home I would have but I kept ringing and getting no reply, in fact I started to get a bit worried with all this hanky panky going on, I though he might have you hold up as hostages.’

T…’I tell you what, I wouldn’t bloody put it past him.’ (Well fuck me, now I’m a potential hostage taker)

B…’No, I know Robyn. You know Robyn I feel sorry for the kids.’

T…’For your kids?’

B…’No for his kids, because to me they are always, they look so timid.’

(Welfare eyes? The only abuse my boys suffered at this or any other time was at the hands of school bullies related to or known by my malicious accusers.)

T…’They do. Yesterday I went, you know how the kids get off the school bus then it drives up to the high school?’

B…’Yea.’

T…’All the kids get off the bus and go and play and perhaps walk up to the shop and buy something or whatever.’

B…’Yea.’

T…’And you know I pulled up to the bus and every single one of those kids got off to play or be stupid and the only one that didn’t get off and play was Luke.’

B…’Yea.’

T… ‘It’s awful isn’t it?’

B…’Yea it is.’

T…’That kids a good runner you know.’

B…’I know.’

T…’Peter quite likes Luke.’

B…’Yea.’

T…’I feel a bit sorry for her, actually Cathy said she’s not actually too bad.’

B…’Ummm.’

T…’A person like that will probably get worse as he gets older.’

B…’Yes.’

T…’He’s the sort of guy, he’s sort of teetering on the brink and he just needs something to push him off it.’

B…’Yea.’

T…’It’s as though he sort of sets out to um, it’s as though it gives a bit of excitement to his life to get out and upset people.’

B…’Ummm.’

T…’Oh well I’ll be very interested to hear the outcome of all this.’

B…’So will I.’

T…’We’ll have to get the heavies to go up and rough him up a little bit. Get Trevor to dress up in his commando gear.’

B…’Yea.’

T…’Go up there and do a rekky on the place. I’ll get Trevor to take his Browning up. He’s got one of those rifles that you’re not suppose to have.’

B…’But he’s probably got it registered?’

T…’Oh yes it’s all legal and everything. I shouldn’t say you’re not supposed to have them, the ones you are not allowed to buy anymore.’

B…’Ummm.’

T…’That would make a big hole in the back of his chest, ha ha.’  (And I’m supposed to be the violent one.)

“Rumour flies round the world twice before the truth gets its boots on.” Anon.

Chris Black to John? 6/12/1990.

B…”Shit we’ve got fun and games next door John.”

J…”Have ya?”

B…”Ho, fucken hell!”

J…”Hasn’t fired a shot yet?” (Strange question?)

B…”Oh yea, yea he, the guy um um Cullum.”

J…”Yea.”

B…”Um he had the P and T down there, ah, putting a telephone in.”

J…”Yea.”

B…”And the old buggerlug fired a couple of shots over their heads.”

J…”Is that right?”

B…”Yea. They called the Police.”

J…”The man’s got to be crazy.”

B…”Oh he is, he’s apparently, what he’s really pissed off now is see, Cullums got to put in poles for his telephone.”

J…”Yea.”

B…”And Van Der Lubbe doesn’t like the idea of his view being distorted by poles, well fuck my days mate, he put poles about thirty feet away from our house and I laughed.”

J…”You could go him.”

B…”Awe god I laughed…he, he’s a nutcase, he really is.”

J…”Yea.”

B…”You know poor old Cullum, he’s scarred shitless.”

J…”Yea he would be.”

B…”He didn’t have a phone and they couldn’t put one in so they’ve given him a mobile.”

J…”Awe yea.”

B…”Cause they recognise the fact that um you know mouhhhh.”

J…”Yea a dangerous man.”

B…”Yea he is yea.”

J…”You wouldn’t want your kids playing around outside would you?”

B…”Oh no I know John, and it’s not a twenty two he’s using it’s a Three-0 or I don’t know. I thought it was a shotgun to start with but Douglas said, Douglas was away from school for a couple of days and he said he heard them firing this thing. Apparently the range you know must have been about fifty yards or so, well a shotgun can’t shoot a target at fifty yards.”

J…”Oh.”

B…”Too soon after Aramoana ha ha ha.”

J…”I hope he doesn’t cut loose on Saturday night.” (Party at Blacks)

B…”Ooh shit he he he, oh I hope they lock him up before then, I hope they do that. Ha ha ha ha shit that would be fun wouldn’t it?”

J…”Yea it would be.”

B…”OK John.”

J…”I’ll get back to you in the morning.”

B…”Right you ho, bye for now.”

J…”Bye.”

Next day I wrote a letter informing Black that he should make other arrangements regarding the discharge of his sewerage.

“Cutting honest throats by whispers.” Scott.

And eight days later Cullum rings Black.

B…”G’day Gary.”

C…”Yea G’day Chris.”

B…”What’s happening?”

C…”Um, we’re having big problems with your neighbour.”

B…”What do you mean my neighbour?”

C and B …”Ha ha ha he he he.”

B…”I’ve got just a bigga problems with em.”

C…”Have you?”

B…”He’s given me a registered letter stating that he’s going to cut my septic tank off.”

C…”Oh yes well that’s good because we received one yesterday too.”

B…”What’s he gonna do to you?”

C…”About the water and um he’s charging us for all his time doing repairs and maintenance on the pump for the last twelve months which is $650 labour.”

B…”Ha ha ha ha.”

C…”Still that’s beside the point and that’s as far as we’ve had, he’s been firing shots at us and god knows what last week.”

B…”Again?”

C…”Yea, he had the one shot that night.” (The one Mrs. Black thought nothing of.)

B…”Yea didn’t he hit the Telecom van or something or other?”

C…”He went right over the top of the Telecom van, the bullet ricochet right over the top and that, so any rate they’ve witnessed and the Police has been out and god knows what.”

B…”Yea.” (The cops told Cullum what the true story was but he kept up the lying like a true shit-stirring coward.)

C…”Um now we’ve just been in to the solicitors again and now cause we’ve filed Court action and that through the small claims court, so we had to go in just a few minutes ago to see the guy that’s in charge of it all to see if he can, cause they told us it may not be able to go through till February and we said well we have to have water.”

B…”Yea.”

C…”He’s been disconnecting our water you see.”

B…”Umm.” (I disconnected him only once, much later, when he refused to pay his half of the power bill and it never went back on.)

C…”So um one thing leads to another and the matter’s getting very complicated. We’ve just been in to the guy from the Court and he’s informed us what we are to do and everything. We are just to carry on and use the water whenever we like, how long we like and if he puts one foot on our property at all he’s going to be arrested no beating about the bush. He’s not allowed on our property at all.”

B…”Yea he can’t even get to the pump then can he?”

C…”No he’s not allowed down to the pump at all so if he goes down there to disconnect our water he’s a goner.” (1)

B…”Yea.”

C…”So in any rate that’s beside the point, um regarding this firearms business and that, his wife has the current licence for the firearm not him.”

B…”Is that right?”

C…”Yes. And I always understood that um with a firearms licence as long as there is one in the house anybody can use the firearm.”

B…”Shit no, no way!”

C…”Um, when I was talking to your wife last week.”

B…”To Dia?”

C…”Yea, and she said that your son had seen him having target practice out the back when he was home one day from school.”

B…”That’s right yes, that’s right, he and his father, yep.”

C…”Well um the guy down at the Court of the solicitors and he wants to know if he can please interview your son and that about this.”

B…”Yea.”

C. “And if he’s prepared to say yes he has seen him using it, um the firearms will be confiscated and he is going for a skate.” (2)

B…”Oh well I’ll talk to Douglas.”

C…”And I said that I didn’t know if you’d want your son to get involved as far as that goes or not, and he said, well he said it’s the only thing we’ve got on him. He said we know he’s used it but nobody can prove that they’ve seen him with that gun in his hands.”

B…”Yea, well I’m pretty sure Douglas was ill that day and he watched them outside the window.” (My father was in Wanganui at that time and had they gone ahead with their dirty little scheme they would have come a gutser.”)

C…”Yea, yea. Well if your son can sort of say, yes he has seen him using it, well he’s a goner” (3)

B…”Yea, is that right? OK I’ll talk to Douglas and I’m pretty sure he’ll do it, well I’d advise him to cause you know it’s um, but it’s not gonna be, he’s at school now so.”

C…”Well look what he wants you to do is if you would ring um.”

B…”Who do I speak to?”

C…”Shit now I’ve left my card in the bloody car now, um it’s a Noel Cockerello.”

B…”Noel Cockerello?”

C…”Yea and he’s with Web Ross and Co.” (Another bright bunch of lawyers.)

B…”Oh yea.”

C…”So if you just ring them, their number is 483099, just ask to speak to Noel Cockerello.”

B…”Yep.”

C…”Or if you can’t get him, um please ask to speak to Nicola please.”

B…”Nicola.”

C…”Nicola.”

B…”Yep, Gary have you got the phone on?”

C…”Got it on yesterday.”

B…”What’s the number?”

C…”Um, 4352547.”

B…”Yea.”

C…”Good.”

B…”Has Van Der Lubbe got the phone on?”

C…”Yes.”

B… “I was in the Police yesterday morning.”

C… “Were you?”

B…”Um because we’ve been getting calls for the last three weeks where um nobody answers, nobody, and it’s you know quarter past six in the morning, ten o’clock at night all over the place. You know one and one don’t make three but, um I put it on the line cause I said to the cop down their at Whangarei Police, I said you know this guys been reported um.”

C…”Well do you know the guy Thompson the bailiff that lives over behind Greg (Cathy’s husband) and….”

B…”Oh hell yes, I know them very well, yes he’s had problems. He (wasn’t Trev) had to serve a thing on him apparently about a month or so ago.” (I won that case, in the Disputes Tribunal, over faulty building materials.)

C… “Yea.”

B…”And he’s having problems with him.”

C…”Yes he’s having problems because he’s now after his wife now.”

B… “Yea well Robyn’s been harassed by him.” (Asking a cop, Baker, to tell her to stop her slanders is harassment in their eyes. You will see later.)

C…”Yea.”

B…”She, she’s talked to the Police.”

C…”Yea.”

B…”I think you ought to have a good talk to, um, um what’s a names next door, um oh Greg and what’s a name.”

C…”Cathy?”

B… “Yea because I think that since that trespass notice has been put on, I think Cathy’s seen him on your place.” (On our water easement.)

C…”Yea she told me last night I rang her up.”

B…”Oh good.”

C…”Yea she told me she’d seen him. So we’ve told the Police about this and that so.” (And did the cops do me for trespass? No they did not, the cops told Cullum I had a legal right to go onto our easement.)

B…”Yea.”

C…”So it’s fun and games, so he just won’t listen to anybody, take no for an answer or nothing.”

B… “Yea.”

C…”He’s got a law of his own.”

B…”Yea. I don’t know what he’s going to do to my septic tank.

I’ve got my lawyers working on it and um I’ve got to contact them this afternoon and just see what, shit he could put an axe through it, he could actually legally do it.” (Black had to fork out for a new sewage system?)

C… “Yea.”

B…”Which really shits me off but.”

C…”Yea, did you know he’s been telling everybody round the place that um you, us, Cathy and them have been spreading slander round the neighbourhood about him?”

B…”No, who’s he been telling that to?”

C…”He told oh everybody that comes down to our place, all the Telecom guys, he’s been up there and told them all.”

B…”Is that right (What are they doing right now?)

C…”Yea, he even told the Constable at Kamo, (Baker) we had to go in there last week about the water.”

B… “Yea.”

C…”Work something out for a week and now it’s expired, now he, the Constable rung him up today to see if he would extend it till we can get this Court case business and he said bluntly no. Now he doesn’t, won’t even allow us to have water for our cattle except for between ten o’clock at night and six in the morning.” (You’ll see what a lie that was later.)

B…”Oh god.”

C…”Yea.”

B…”So he can’t even come down to the pump now, no?”

C…”No, no. So if he puts a foot on the place he’s had it.” (4)

B… Yea, does he know that?”

C…”No he doesn’t know that at all and they are not going to tell him either and that, he’s had a warrant sort of, he’s had a trespass thing issued to him.” (Bright boy is Gary.)

B…”Yea.”

C…”And that which says keep off the property and that but because he doesn’t actually own the pump, we own it, he won’t believe that.” (That’s not what he said in Baker’s office.)

B…”Is that right.”

C…”He’s actually trespassing.”

B…”Who pays the power bill for the pump?”

C…”Ha ha ha ha nobody. At this stage he’s been skiting for two years that the meter has never been read.”

B…”Is that right?”

C…”Yea, so Northpower have been notified about it haven’t they.”

B…”Ha ha ha ha.”

B…”Oh shit a beauty.”

C…”He will try to thump it off onto us.”

B…”Yea.”

C…”I contacted Northpower last week about it.” (A serial dobber inner.)

B…”Yea.”

C…”Because Cathy said to me that he had been raving on to her and Greg for a long time about it”.

B…”Ha ha ha ha.”

C…”Well we were wondering in that because if the deal goes through on his property and that we will be lumbered with this bill.”

B…”Has he still got the deal going on his property?”

C…”Yes, yep, middle of January.”

B…”Is it?”

C…”Yep,yep.”

B…”Oh my God.”

C…”But Graham hasn’t had any joy with his place yet, I was talking to him yesterday.” (Was there anyone he didn’t talk to?)

B…”Yea, so his place is still on the market. Ohhh God please, please get him to sell his house.”

C…”Yea I know that’s what I’ve been saying to Graham ho ho ho.” (Cullum scared ‘Graham’ off with his whining. Who would want a moaning wanker like him for a neighbour?)

B…”Oh Jesus.”

C…”Yea is she ever.”

B…”Yea.”

B… “Is that right?

B…”Yea I’ll contact him right now. I’ll ring him right now.”

C…”And could you give us a tingle tonight and let us know what?”

B…”Oh Gary I can’t, see Douglas has got school and he’s got swimming and I might be able to take him down tomorrow, oh no, it’s got to be to who the Police or the solicitors?”

C…”No to the solicitors, the guy Cockerello wants to interview him.”

B…”Yea, yea.”

C…”And that, but I said to him, I said well he’s most likely to be at school today anyway.”

B…”Yea, yea. So well I don’t think he, well I suppose he’d like him there today?”

C…”I suppose but if he can’t, well he will have to wait till Monday.”

B…”Yea, yea. I’ll have to check with Douglas for the exact, he said to me that he saw them both doing target practice.”

C…”Yea, yea.”

B…”So you know.”

C…”Well see the thing is in that, um if he will tell him, stand up and say yea he’s seen him with the gun in his arms and fire it and that, um they can go in there and confiscate all the guns.”

B…”Oh that’s what I’d like, that’s what I said to the cop last night, I said this is just ridiculous.” (8 days earlier Black thought it was all a “big joke.”)

C…”Yea, yea, no they said the minute he says yes and the guns are gone but until then they can’t be confiscated.”

B…”They can actually confiscate guns from the house although there is somebody holding a licence in the house.”

C… “Yep.”

B…”You see she could say that they are her guns.”

C…”Yea it doesn’t matter as long as um somebody can prove that they’ve seen him holding and fire one of those guns.”

B…”Yea.”

C…”They are all gone.”

B…”Ho Kay shit what a…”

C…”Yea I know.”

B…”Ummmm.”

C…”We feel terrible having to involve anybody else in it and that, but oh struth.” (So he involves anyone red-necked or simple enough to listen to his ravings.)

B…”Oh no look I’m involved I could be having to shit, I might have to go to a night cart or something for my shit, he he he he.”

C…”Oh I’ll let you come and use ours, ha ha ha ha. I’ll even give you a key to come in and go, ha ha ha ha.”

B…”Ha ha ha ha. You mightn’t have any water to flush it, he he he he.”

Mass hysteria manufactured monkeyman

NEW DELHI: It was a myth, after all. The monkeyman never did exist concludes a report filed by a special team of forensic experts and psychiatrists. It was mass hysteria which caused the entire monkeyman episode, states the report filed by a special team of forensic experts and psychiatrists. The team filed the report with the Delhi Police on Saturday.

Though the police have not yet made public the contents, sources said the report concludes the monkeyman was a mere figment of the imagination of `emotionally-weak’ people. It reportedly states there was little or no evidence to suggest that any organised gang or individual had been behind the panic, which gripped large parts of east and northeast Delhi during May.

“The special team had gone to several places where there had been reported sightings or attacks. The forensic experts had examined the spot and carried out tests to check for any physical evidence, like hair strands or footprints. None was found,’’ a police source said.

Forensic doctors, who were part of the team, examined victims who had claimed to have been attacked by the monkeyman. “The nature of injuries were scrutinised to see whether any animal could have caused them. In most cases these injuries were found to be too superficial to arrive at any conclusion,’’ the source added. Most of the wounds could have been self-inflicted, it states.

Psychiatrists later questioned a number of victims at length to establish their state of mind. It was reportedly found that many victims changed their statements on several occasions. Psychiatrists concluded that most of them were hysterical and could not be relied on.

Media coverage has reportedly also come in for criticism in the report. Sources said that the media helped propagate the hysteria by sensationalising the alleged sightings and attacks. This helped spread the rumour and the accompanying panic.

The report is to form part of a larger and more detailed report being compiled by the Delhi Police. Sources said that the report was being scrutinised by senior officials.

The final report in the matter is expected to be filed by next week.

1.       It appears to me that you have failed to get on with anyone of your neighbours. Your site stinks of the saying “everybody’s mad but me”. Only the criminally insane would support these paranoid ramblings. The information on this site fails to impress. Clearly one-sided and without substance.

6.       “That evening I was twiddling the dial on my multi band radio (sw1) when I heard a voice I recognised.” And then you go on to publicise confidential telephone conversations for days afterwards. Doesn’t sound like twiddling to me, it sounds like premeditated spying. Funny how everywhere you go the police are called – drugs, firearms, burglaries. Remember the shooting complaint involved an impartial third party (Telecom workers) but I suppose they are also wrong? I think your neighbours have every reason to think you present a danger to the community based upon if they have seen this sort of thing happen. Your kids look like great kids so their comments (if reported truthfully by you, and we have no way of knowing that) are quite insulting and none of their business. But I would suggest you perhaps look to see whether some of the blame may rest also with you. If it was just one neighbour against you it could be anything, but when there are several neighbours all complaining about you, then it may be time to examine your own actions as well, rather than just stating that everyone else is to blame.

15.   I came upon this site quite by accident. I haven’t read all the site, but the names #Van Der LUBBE# and #BRITTON# appear to feature so far….let it be known for the record that I was a serving copper in Wanganui from 1980 until 1986. Let it also be known that I was part of a team on one occasion that executed a drugs warrant at the Van Der LUBBE address in Ballance Street Wanganui, in the early 80’s. Quite surprisingly, Det Colin IRVINE made the mistake of speaking with a Van Der LUBBE family member (brother of the warrant target) the day before (probably because the brother was a traffic cop), with the consequence that no drugs were found. However, we coppers were all shocked to see a loaded high calibre rifle under the master bed, shocked because the Van Der LUBBE’s had young children living in the house. What was even more surprising was Mr Van Der LUBBE knew the loaded rifle was under his bed, but was not at all concerned about the fact.

I can also say that the BRITTON family living up the para paras often came to notice of us boys in blue. I also seem to recall Matthew(?) BRITTON coming to national prominence by setting up camp in parliament grounds.

Be your own judge…

Mike Cannon

16.   I just love it when cops get their “facts” provably wrong.

1. The “drugs warrant” was executed at an address in Paterson Street. Irvine got it all wrong and he got the first warrant for my fathers place in Ballance Street. He had to tell his lies all over again to get a second one for the right address.

2. Believe it or not my brother did not warn me that a raid was in the offing. Irvine found nothing because there was nothing to be found. I am not and have never have been a druggie and Irvine approached my brother and asked him if I was involved in drugs because he had absolutly no information (other than the lies fed to him by the probable double killer and kid fucker Jerry Cornelius) that I was.

3. Saying that the rifle was loaded is an outright lie. The rifle was under the bed in the box it came in and a packet of bullets was in the box with it. That’s not loaded but it was a bit silly I must admit. Irvine said as much at the time but I told him my kids knew not to go near the gun. A bit nieve of me I know.

4. The Brittons` never lived up the “paraparas”. They lived in the Parihauhau Valley when their kids young (pre teen) and unknown to the police. And as for Mathew Britton setting up camp in parliament grounds don’t make me laugh. He might have been there for the big cannabis smoke up but that’s all.

You’re either a lier or a fool Mike.

Jack

17.   Thanks for the corrections Jack….I haven’t been back to Wanganui for many many years, so obviously I need to consult a street directory to know the difference between Ballance / Paterson Streets.

I don’t have a particular axe to grind, I did my 16 years as a copper, and left more than 10 years ago. I’m no longer in NZ now, but I can tell you that the rifle WAS loaded, and yes, it was in a box with spare ammo.

Yes, the Brittons did live in the Parihauhau valley, which runs parallel to the parapara road at the Upuk end. I think you’re ’splitting hairs’ by drawing the distinction – you know I was referring to that general area.

I’d like to think I’m no fool, and I am certainly not a liar (nor exaggerator).

In my experience, this web site indicates someone continuously crying foul, which is a form of mock outrage. This only gets people wondering if the person(s) crying foul are not hiding some home truths anyway.

If you had a beef against the cops, ok, but do what most of us do after a while – just move on.

Mike Cannon

18.   You’re wrong Mike, the rifle was not loaded and saying it was (only drug dealers have loaded guns under the bed) and also saying the only reason you didn’t find any drugs was because I was tipped off is nothing but another attempt to smear me. How do you know the rifle was was loaded Mike? Irvine didn’t pick it up and work the bolt. You are a liar Mike.

Were you the uniformed cop who accompanied Irvine to Ballance Street, Paterson Street or both addresses? Were you the “We’ll get you!” cop.

The NZ Police NEVER move on as you put it Mike so how the hell am I to?

I’ve been waiting for over three weeks for a cop (Sergeant Andrew McDonald) to come round and take a statement from me about a case of intimidation. A week ago I phoned him and he said he was sorry for being “tardy” and would come to my address the next day.

Same old shit from the boys in blue.

Jack

19.   I rang McDonald again this morning Mike and he said he’d come to my home to take a statement today but he never showed. Surprise, surprise. Looks like I’ll have to do another private prosecution and show the bent bastards up again.

Jack

20.   You absolutely right. That is precisely how people end up being imprisoned for crimes they did not commit. I have had experiences similar to yours when I lived in Whangarei. There is actually something wrong with all of them. I do not believe it is a case of every one else is mad paranoia. many of the people that live around three mile bush road and especially during the late eighties, really are that ill.

I think they must have developed there sickness over generational bullying of the Tikipunga Maori.

steven

21.   Mike has confirmed what I said about Irvine getting the address wrong on his bogus warrant and that he approached my traffic cop brother to find out if I was involved in drugs. And you have to work the bolt to see if a gun is loaded and Irvine did not pick it up he merely lifted the lid on the box it was in.

Jack

22.   As soon as anyone states they are not a liar – you know they are – cops especially. Wanganui is riddled with bad cops – nearly as much as Papakura. But then look at the idiots they (Wanganui folk) elect to chair local council. That lycra wearing, eyeliner mad, neo-nazi attention seeking Michael dumbass Laws.

“I have never seen a situation so dismal that a policeman couldn’t make it worse.” Bredan Behan.

As mentioned in the Rudsdale Report Form of 6/12/90 Baker did arrange and preside over a meeting between the parties at his office to sort out the water pump business. At the meeting Cullum reluctantly, and to Jill Hayward’s horror, conceded that the pump and pipeline were ours but he wanted an extension to the hours he could draw water from the supply. He wanted to be able to take water between 10pm and 6am instead of 12 mid-night and 6am and for an hour between 9am and 10am. Even though Cullum had been plotting and conducting a campaign of fear and loathing against us, I, for the sake of peace and not wanting to get offside with Baker, agreed to give Cullum the extension he sought for the requested period of one week. Cullum said he needed the extension so that he could water his chooks and gardens. That’s what he said but it was another lie.

When the extension ran out a week later Baker phoned me to see if I would grant another extension until the end of January 1991 when the lawyers got back from their holidays. Baker said they needed the extension to water their gardens and stock.

Remember, they were trying to use lawyers to usurp the ownership of our pump and pipeline to deny us our sole water supply even though Cullum had already conceded that we owned it.

During the week of the temporary extension I kept a note of when and for what purpose Cullum took water from our pump between 9am and 10am.

I told Baker that every morning of that week between 9am and 10am they ran the water into their 5000-gallon tank. Only once did they water their gardens and chooks and that was for a total of 15 minutes. And every night at exactly 10pm the supply to our house would stop only to come on again at about 11pm. I doubt that they were watering their gardens or chooks in the dark. We could tell what was going on by the noisy bubbles that occurred when our water came back on. In other words they wanted the extension solely to deny us water as they already had six hours each night to fill their tank. They couldn’t add water to their tank anymore than the two hours daily because it was already 90% full; Luke checked it.

I told Baker all that and that Cullum had broken the spirit of the agreement and that I wasn’t going to give them any more extensions. This was Bakers reply. (All on tape.)

‘Either you do it like that (give the extra extension) or they’ll run the tank (he meant the water) whenever they want to. If you’re not going to be co-operative and let them have that temporary extension they will use the water whenever they want.’ (Cullum was legally entitled to the water to fill his tank for six hours every night @ 300 gallons per hour) ‘They are asking for an extension to that temporary agreement because of weather conditions, the fact that they have stock and they do not want to cause problems. If you say OK you can only use it between 10 and 6 they are going to use the water outside of that time.’ (He should have said between 12 and 6.)

Baker hadn’t listened to a word I’d said and continued to try to bully me into doing what he and Cullum wanted. He went on. ‘You’ve got to look at this logically. I’m trying to avoid what could possible be a serious incident in which the Police will become involved, people will be arrested.  OK I’ll go back to the Cullums and I’ll say that the agreement stands that you use the water between 10 till 6, if you use the water between that time go for it.’ (The agreement was for between 12 mid-night and 6am.) Clearly an idiot.

I told him he had no authority to give them permission to take water outside the time agreed to. Baker replied, ‘I have to look at the possibility of stock dying, as an inspector (I thought he was only a Senior Constable) I’m entitled to in that respect if I see that stock are being ill treated. I told Baker he had been misled by the Cullums because their stock water trough was on our pipeline so their stock would have water while we did. Not to mention the creek which ran through the bottom of Cullum’s cow paddock. Again Baker ignored what I told him and he barged on saying, ‘What I’m trying to get through to you Mr. Van Der Lubbe is that as far as I see it you’re being totally unco-operative. I’m trying to avoid a possible or a potential incident involving you and the Cullums.’ I said, ‘Fair enough, you tell them to behave and everything will be OK. I have no intention of creating an incident.’ Baker replied, ‘OK I’ll tell them the water goes back to 10 till 6 (he got it wrong again) and if they use the water outside those hours that’s their problem. But if you cut the water off in any situation OK, you will be provoking an incident because the Cullums will be extremely annoyed. They will come over to you, there will be problems and the Police will be called.’

You will have deduced that if Cullum cut off our water the rules might be different. So much for Baker’s Police oath to act without fear or favour.

Us, with no header or water tank and no alternative supply, had no right to get extremely annoyed and come over to them and cause problems. Baker then hung up and I said to myself, that guy is a bloody maniac.

In the end Cullum refused to pay his half the power bill and maintenance as agreed, his reason, ‘Huh, my stock get their water from the creek so why should I pay.’ What do you do with people like that? It’s illegal to beat sense into them so I cut them off our water supply altogether. They had to get their own pump (a petrol one) and pipe line to top up their water tank and fill their one stock trough which I disconnected from our pipeline. There’s brains for you.

Prior to the Cullums moving into the area my boys built themselves a couple of huts using the volcanic rocks that litter the ground in the Three Mile Bush area. Then they played games with their walkie-talkies and binoculars. They continued to do that after the Cullums arrived on the scene. Any person who is without malice and or not nutty would take it for what it was, kids playing. Not the Cullums, they were seen taking photos of the kids at their huts and then they called Richard (Half-baked) Baker who once again charged into the fray. Read on and see how that maniac spends your tax dollars. He informed me that a complaint of intimidation had been made against me.

 THE REAL WHANGAREI/NZ POLICE

 06 “Gates don’t walk do they?”

A few weeks after Baker gave up his cherished intimidation madness I hung a couple of gates along Cullum’s Right of Way drive to keep stray stock off our place. That done we went away to the beach for a couple of days in our old converted bus. On our return I noticed that one of the new gates was missing. I wandered over to the Cullum estate and spotted the gate leaning against the back of one of their sheds. The Cullums were not at home so, bearing in mind the trespass notice, I sent my boys down to retrieve the gate. I had an idea why Cullum had taken the gate from our place and put it behind his shed so I played along with his silly little game to see what would happen.

A couple of hours later the Cullums arrived home and about ten minutes after that our phone rang. It was Baker and this was how the conversation went.

Jack…’Hello.’

Baker…’Mr. Van Der Lubbe?’

J…’Correct.’

B…’Richard Baker, how are you?’

J…’Not bad.’

B…’Um, some gates, I understand the Cullums have changed some gates over and the smaller gate’s gone missing.’

J…’Is that right?’

B…’Gates don’t normally walk do they?’

J…’You’re telling the story.’

B…’Well do they? You own the gates don’t you?’

J….’You tell me.”’ (I was testing to see if the Cullums had claimed that I had stolen one of their gates.)

B…’Do you own the gates Mr. Van Der Lubbe?’

J….’Which gates are you talking about?’

B…’The ones at, er Cullum’s driveway.’

J….’What do they say?’

B…’I’m asking you a question Mr. Van Der Lubbe?’

J….’Do they say that I own them?’

B…’Yea.’

J….’Good, I’ve got them.’

B…’You’ve got the little gate?’

J….’Yea.’

B…’How did you get the little gate?’

(There was a five second pause by me at this point because I could not believe that Baker would be so stupid as to fall for Cullum’s latest little scheme to get me into trouble with the law. Maybe it was Baker’s idea.)

J….’I’m beginning to doubt your sanity Mr. Baker.’

B…’No, because there’s a trespass on….’

I cut him off and said, ‘Yea, I’m honestly beginning to doubt your sanity Mr. Baker.’

B…’It’s not my sanity that’s in doubt Mr. Van Der Lubbe.’

J….’No honestly…You have been backing them to the hilt for so long, they are losers, I cannot understand why you back them.’

B…’I’m not backing anyone.’

J….;You are.’

B…’You have breached the trespass notice.’

J….’You are making a fool of yourself Mr. Baker, again and again you make a fool of yourself, why do you keep doing it?’

B…’I’m paid to do that.’

J….’You’re paid to be a fool are you?’

B…’Yea, I really am,..a fool in the making.’

J… ‘You’re a complete bloody fool that’s all there is to it.’

B…’I really appreciate it Mr. Van Der Lubbe, my wife tells me that every day.’

J….’Yea she’s dead right, you must be a complete fool.’

B…’You went on the property to pick up the little gate did you?’

J….’You tell me Mr. Baker.’

B…’Well they don’t walk Mr. Van Der Lubbe.’

J….’You tell me if I was trespassing. What happened to this intimidation thing?’ (I was referring to his brick huts madness.)

B…’What intimidation thing Mr. Van Der Lubbe?’

J….’Aye, that you were trying to screw me with.’

B…’I’m not trying to screw you with anything.’

J….’Yes you were.’

B…’Put it this way Mr. Van Der Lubbe, you went on their property to pick up the gate, you’re breaching the trespass notice for which we’ll have to prosecute.’ (At this point I should have laid a complaint of theft of a ‘little gate’ against Cullum but I didn’t think of it. I wonder how Baker would have reacted to that.)

J…’Go for you life Mr. Baker, make another big fool of yourself, just like the intimidation thing, you’re a fool and that’s all there is to it.’

B…’I appreciate your comments…’

J….’You’re a bigger fool than the Cullums are….’

B…’I know.’

J….’Yea, they are losers and you’re a loser.’

B…’I’ve known that for years Mr. Van Der Lubbe.’

J….’Yea good man it’s time you learnt your lesson.’

B…’Bye, bye.’

I heard nothing more about the ‘little gate’ matter and eventually Baker lost interest in running to Cullum’s beck and call and trying to screw me. He continued to wave and smile at us, just like the Cullums, when he saw us in Kamo but he stopped that after I laid a complaint against him with the Police Complaints Authority, but he still couldn’t resist one last display of smart bastardry, he sent us a Christmas card.

After that Baker had his off-sider Arundal-Fag deal with the Cullum complaints, yes they kept coming, but this new cop didn’t take sides as Baker had done and he wasn’t an imbecile.

He listened, looked at the evidence without bias and eventually the Cullums gave up their mad campaign when they realised that this new cop wasn’t going to make a fool of himself as Baker had done.

The Cullums took me to the Disputes Tribunal over the boundary fence, water pump and other imaginations but they came unstuck when I proved that Cullum’s de-facto Jill Hayward committed perjury 21 seconds after she swore on the Bible that she would tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. It was all down hill for them after that.

She even got the sack from her job at the local movie theatre after her boss got into deep doodoo by threatening me with violence over the telephone. She had sucked him in with her malicious lies too. He accused me of all sorts of vile things so I told him that at least I didn’t fuck little boys and hung up. It wasn’t long before he phoned back bowing and scraping saying he was very sorry for what he had said and pleaded with me not to take the matter of his threats any further. I later discovered that this middle aged dope lived at home with his mother. Maybe I hit the nail on the head with my random kidfucker insult.

The cops later told me that a lie told while under oath in Court is only perjury if it affects the outcome of the trial/case, which was total bollocks of course. Be a different story if it was me that had been caught out committing perjury.

As I said earlier, I laid a complaint against Baker with the PCA and this was Baker’s answer to it.

1

Spot the lies?

2

I need to comment on the paragraph marked 1. Black’s lawyer repeated to the Court a lot of the slanders contained in the telephone transcripts (plus a few new ones) and the Whangarei Judge (Beattie) lapped it up. He thought up a technicality and declared Black a good bloke. Criminals get off every day the cops tell us.

Then paragraph marked 2 reveals why Baker acted the way he did towards us. The Police files compiled by Irvine and Co. must state that I am an unstable person who could resort to violence to if provoked. So what does Baker do? He allows and encourages Cullum, Black and the rest of the half-wit rednecks to do their utmost to provoke me into violence and thereby prove the Police files correct and gain him a scalp.

I proved by my actions that I don’t resort to violence even when sorely provoked and an unstable person would not have put up with the shit I put up with for so long. I proved by my actions that Irvine’s files about me are counterfeit.

Paragraphs marked 3 and 4 are concerning a letter Baker wrote for Cullum to mislead the Disputes Tribunal. It repeated a lot of the defamations I heard over the radio. I didn’t think to ask for a copy of it then, I was, as usual, a bit slow in the wits department. I later asked Cullum for it but he said no so I asked Baker to rewrite it from memory but he refused. Notice the “concoct” slant he put on it in his fraud of a statement. Baker commits the crime and then shifts the blame onto me.

Then comes a letter in Baker’s defence from his boss.

3

You will have noticed that the overseer of Baker’s madness gave him a totally positive report and he couldn’t resist giving the knife that Baker stuck into me a twist by saying that it would be dangerous to speak to me further. This is the sort of malicious crap that the Police dish up to and is so keenly believed by their lapdog the Police Complaints Authority. Of course he found in Baker’s favour and my Police file now contained a heap more demonstrably false assertions, which set the scene for, what was shortly to come.

I’ve never heard a positive word about the PCA. When the establishment of a PCA was first mooted the then Police Association boss Harding said, ‘A PCA would not be conducive to good policing.’ Now the Police sing its praises and are quick and very keen to refer any complainant against the police to it. After a few years of PCA operation a lot of people were complaining of its bias in favour of the Police so in reply the then Commissioner of Police John Jamison said, The people wanted a PCA now they have to live with it. What does that tell you? Jamison was happy with the state of affairs and the ‘people’ would have to lump it. The PCA is a sop to a gullible public and it should be abolished.

5

Complaints procedures have zero credibility

The matter at issue in this case had previously been the subject of investigations by the Police Complaints Authority and the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security. Both incorrectly found nothing improper in the Police search of my house.

Only one of the eight police officers who gave evidence in the hearing of this case confirmed that he had been interviewed during the PCA investigation. And this was the officer (Detective Boyd) whose evidence in the hearing led the judge to conclude, in effect, that the search was unjustifiable political harassment.

The PCA concluded that it was not unreasonable for the police to suspect me of involvement in the hoax bomb because in an interview with Inspector Rob Pope I “confirmed a loose association with (Gatt Watchdog), empathised with its principles and engaged in some activities including speaking to meetings and taking part in a demonstration conducted on the week of the APEC summit”.

In coming to the conclusion it did, the PCA itself seems to approve of the kind of political harassment that Justice Young considered the worst aspect of this case.

The Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security was asked only about the actions of the SIS and not the Police, but he nevertheless volunteered the view that “it was not unreasonable for the Police to include Dr Small in the application for search warrant”.

Both these “investigations” were based on questionable assumptions and flawed processes and, not surprisingly, therefore, reached wrong conclusions.

As a result of my experience, I have no confidence at all in either of these complaints procedures.

“It was only through taking a private prosecution that I was able to discover that most of the police involved in my case had not even been spoken to in the course of the PCA investigation.” – Dr. David Small.

1.       Thin blue line comes under scrutiny

Jan 27, 2006

The police are beefing up internal inquiry procedures in a move to crack down on their own following public criticism.

The criticism has been over the way the force has handled 111 calls, speeding officers and rape allegations.

“It’s hard to see how any system could result in police officers being investigated to a higher level, a higher degree than they currently are,” says Police Association spokesman Greg O’Connor.

“What a new system will hopefully do will mean that it’s done more expediently.”

Police have confirmed to One News they’re about to step up their internal investigation procedures but they won’t release details just yet.

One of the country’s high profile criminal lawyers says it’s about time.

“Oh I’ve thought this for some time, in fact my view is always been often it’s a waste of time making a police complaint either yourself or getting a client to do it direct because it mainly gets whitewashed,” says Barry Hart.

Late last year police started looking at ways they could boost their public image.

It’s been a rough time for police on the front-line, with high profile cases like the Iraena Asher 111 call botch up, rape allegations and former policeman Anthony Solomona being found guilty of assault – leading to an inquiry into the so-called sick culture of south Auckland police.

“I wouldn’t be very keen on having former police officers because at the end of the day you’re just replacing one investigator by another,” Hart says.

It is understood the proposed unit will be completely independent of police and will be based on an internal affairs type set-up like the British use.

More details of the unit are expected to come out in March.

07 “I’ve got you now, you’ve made a fatal mistake”

Perverting the course of justice #3   

In late 1991 Donald Britton contracted to sell his farm property at Makirikiri Valley, Wanganui to my wife Sandra. Then he changed his mind about selling and tried to get out of the deal by intimidation.

On January 7 1992 Donald Britton said these things to me outside my fathers place in Wanganui. All on tape.

Britton “Jack, at the moment I’m in a fairly stable frame of mind, not every third day I’m not, every third day I’m fucken”….

Jack “That’s not my problem.”

B “Nothing’s your problem at the moment, until this goes ahead, until it actually takes place. If this sale goes ahead, then it will be your problem.”

J” Why?”

B” Oof, fucken hell, fucken, it just will be. I fucken, listen I know, I fucken know, I don’t fucken sleep at night, I know right?

J” What, you’re going to get violent?”

B” Oh fucken hell man, I don’t know myself. The money doesn’t mean anything to me so I’ll spend it real easy and real quick, this money doesn’t mean anything to me. (Is he hinting that he’ll hire a hitman?) From here on I honestly do not know…what I’m like because I fucken spend a lot of fucken sleepless nights and all sorts of fucken shit, right. If anyone dies you’ll go to hell. If you take my land off me you’ll die on the place, you and your family will die on the place. You’ll not survive January.” (Remember his avarice is exceeded by nothing, not even his sexual perversions.)

The police, Constable Cullum McGillivray and Senior Sergeant Neville Haggart, refused our request to remove Britton’s firearms from him at this time saying that we were probably trying to use them to further our civil claims against Britton. (Our Specific Performance proceedings.)

This is page 2 of a statement made by Britton’s then “girl” friend Carole Smith. Note the underlined.

Then On March 19, after he again changerd his mind about selling up and just minutes before he signed the Transfer Document at his lawyer’s office, he said this to me.  (all on tape) “I’ve come that fucken close to fucken suicide about five times over the last couple of months and about that fucken close to murder. It can’t be good for me. I can’t get past that state when I’m in that state. Look I laugh sometimes and the next minute I’m crying so I’m not sure.” (Guess who he wanted me to think would be the murder victim.)

Then during the period March 19 to May 19 (After the sale went through.) Britton said these things to me at the Makirikiri farm.

“You know I poured Roundup on the roof, only to kill the moss though. Ha, Ha, Ha.”

“See that tree there it’s shaking, that’s a bad omen.”

“You know this house is built on a fault line.”

“I caught two poachers on my land one day and I made them beg for their lives. I had my gun and a shovel with me. I made one of them start to dig a grave and then I told them to fuck off. I had Mike O’Keefe with me.”

“I punched Hugh Speed in the face on the boundary fence one day. Mike O’Keefe was with him and he told me later that he thought I’d lost it.”

“I fired a shot near a bloke on James’ one day. He told Alan James that he was going to tell the cops about it but Alan James advised him not to because I would get him back.”

“I’d like to be shot in the thigh with a high powered rifle just to see what it feels like.”

“I’ve been very lenient with you.”

“I’m a fucken schizophrenic are you worried?”

“I got my (rifle) barrel fixed.”

“When Maryanne left me I nearly shot myself, fuck it was a close thing.”

“Tom’s my puppet, he’ll do anything for me.”

———————————————————————————————————————–

19 May 1992

“Yeehaa, I’ve got you now, I’ve got you now, you’ve made a fatal mistake.”

Those words were gleefully shouted at me when Britton discovered the bullet holes in his vehicle.

 1

Senior Sergeant Nigel McRae got the sequence of the shots back to front and the ‘dispute’ was not about property.

Had McGillivray and Haggart removed Britton’s firearms from him as we had requested earlier the above shooting would not have occurred.

I fired at the vehicle because of Britton’s threats and the fact that he carried a firearm in his vehicle whenever he came to our property.

And what did the cops charge Britton with? Trespass! It should have been Disorderly behaviour likely to lead to violence, threatening to kill, being unlawfully in an enclosed yard and making a false statement to Police, (he admitted he’d lied about certain aspects of the shooting) but no they charged him with the bare minimum and then advised him how to get off the charge by telling the judge that he had to do it because it was an emergency.

As he left the scene he did a hand stand and walked on his hands a short distance. He was ecstatic with the outcome of his “cunning plan.”

08 Shots Fired

Perverting the course of justice #4

Then for the next 3 to 4 years the Police turned a blind eye to a continuous campaign of provocation, assaults, firearms offences, intimidation, vandalism and theft by Britton, his son Mathew Britton, Angus Mars, Hayden Irvine, and a few other young manipulated fools who had nothing nothing better to do.

The below incident led to the unmasking of THREE more Police liars, first there was this Chris Roe joker,

And then came Roe’s final word on the matter.

N.Z. POLICE
REPORT FORM
TEXT: VAN DER LUBBE V BRITTON

23 September

Officer in Charge (Gary Patterson)
Wanganui East Community Policing Centre
WANGANUI

“As per our discussions, I have attached the correspondence relating to the latest allegation made against BRITTON by Jack” (Sandra) “VAN DER LUBBE.”

“In brief, on September 19 at about 1540 hours VAN DER LUBBE” (Sandra) “contacted the Bell Street Police Station on 111 to inform us that DONALD BRITTON had fired shots from a rifle towards his” (her) “house.”

“I went and obtained a written statement in my notebook from VAN DER LUBBE at his address and this is reported on a job sheet.”

(Roe did not interview all the witnesses as is required in bona fide investigations and he in fact he only bothered to interview 2 out of the 6 witnesses to the incident. Britton and myself and he buggered off back to town without disarming Britton which allowed him to fire a couple more shots over our house.)

“Later that day, at 1922 hours, I spoke with DONALD BRITTON, who acknowledged he had been up the valley shooting that day, but denied aiming any shots in the direction of VAN DER LUBBE.”

“There was no corroboration of VAN DER LUBBE’S allegations, other than the other members of his family agreeing with everything he said.” (That was a lie and the tape I made of the interview proves it.)

“On 22.09 I was contacted by Sandra VAN DER LUBBE and advised her that because of this lack of corroboration and the existing domestic problems between them, no further action would be taken on this complaint as Police had insufficient evidence to pursue a prosecution in open court.” (Compare that with what Judge Willy said about the veracity of my family in 16 PRIVATE PROSECUTION.)

“She was quite happy to accept this and began to give me a long list of previous wrongdoings alleged to have been committed by BRITTON.” (Do you see the contradiction in that statement?)

“I forward this for your information as there is if necessary grounds which may assist in revoking the firearms licence of BRITTON should this become necessary to ensure the safety of the parties involved.” (What grounds? He’s just finished saying that there was insufficient evidence to do anything.)

CR ROE
Sergeant C647
Wanganui

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

This case classic example of the corrupt way the Police were treating us at that time.
Roe had 4 credible victims/witnesses but he still brushed it under the carpet with provable lies.

And he didn’t interview Matthew Britton even though he was an accomplice to the crimes (it was his rifle) and he didn’t recommend the firearms license revocation for fear of jeopardising the pending Police case against me.

                                                                           *

Then later, on the evening of the shooting,

Then the dirty bastards tried to do me for making a false statement to Police (verbal) and misuse of a telephone.

First they withdrew a “unlawful possession of a firearm” charge that they said had been mistakenly laid. ‘Mistakenly’ my arse, they added that already failed charge  just to make me look bad in the eyes of the judge.

Then the trial proper got underway and the first liar to take the stand was the above silly bugger Philip Randal, he gave sworn evidence repeating that all my calls that evening were abusive. He didn’t know that I had recorded them all and NONE were the slightest bit abusive. Proven perjury! He went a bit pale when I told him that.

Then Britton took the stand against me and he ended up dobbing in his mate Haggart as the balaclava wearing fool of 10/10/92.

I represented myself in Court that day after my then lawyer Peter Brosnahan reckoned I may as well plead guilty as they had me banged to rights but I proved him wrong and pissed the cops off  no end into the bargain.

 Then later this failed prosecution was written up as a conviction and used as an excuse to dismiss all further complaints by us against Britton as a lie.  That’s why I always tell the truth, once they catch you out in a lie you’re fucked. Mind you they never caught me out but I was still fucked.                                                                    

                                                                                                              *

Criminal harassment

2.10 Clause 8 creates a new offence of criminal harassment, which is punishable by 2 year’s imprisonment. A person is guilty of criminal harassment if that person harasses another person and either:

intends to cause the other person to fear for his or her safety, or the safety of another person with whom he or she has a family relationship; or
knows that the harassment is likely to cause that other person reasonably to so fear.

2.11 I support the enactment of clause 8. I believe it provides an appropriate new offence to combat harassment. It criminalises the worst type of harassment where individuals are caused to fear for their safety.

2.12 I realise that some overseas “stalking” offences of this type have not been entirely effective because it can be quite difficult to prove that a person intended a pattern of behaviour to cause another person to fear for their safety or their family’s safety. There may be calls to broaden the scope of the offence or to remove the mens rea element. However, I think the alternate limb of the offence should meet that concern, since in cases where an intent to cause harm cannot be shown, it may be able to be shown that the harasser nonetheless knew that the actions were likely to cause the victim to so fear.

2.13 I think that we should be cautious about extending the bounds of criminality further as there may be unforeseen effects and the law may be invoked in circumstances which are not anticipated. For instance if the element of intent was removed there may be a risk of the law being used in the area of political or industrial protest. Harassment which is not reached by the criminal offence should be able to be covered in appropriate circumstances using the civil remedy which does not require an intent to cause fear to be proved.

2.14 Nonetheless, I would be disappointed if the criminal offence turned out to be impossible to effectively prosecute. That would be of little use to victims of harassment. I do not believe that this is the case with this provision but I suggest that its effectiveness ought to be reviewed after several years in operation.

1.       Police officer badly shaken after shooting

Auckland police officer badly shaken after someone in a grey van fired pot shots at him north of Auckland

17 July 2005

An Auckland police officer is badly shaken after being deliberately shot at last evening.

The incident happened on the northbound motorway near Silverdale, about six o’clock.

Police spokesman Jayson Rhodes says the officer had pulled over a member of the public for a routine check when a van travelling in the opposite direction took pot shots at him.

He says both the officer and the member of the public dived for cover, but were shocked at the attack.

Jayson Rhodes says the officer was stood down for the night and welfare was provided.

He says there is no doubt this was a deliberate criminal act.

Police are confident someone will recognise the grey van.

He say the van’s either a 1986 silver or primer grey Nissan Vannette or Mazda Bongo van, with tinted windows.

Inspector Mike Hill says it’s a deplorable criminal act of violence.

He says lives were put at risk and police will be doing whatever they can to find the people responsible.

Inspector Hill says anyone with information should contact Takapuna police.
—————————————————————————
It’s a very serious matter if a cop gets shots fired round his ears but if it happens to the family VDL they can go and get knotted, no welfare support or even a proper investigation just the usual cover up on behalf of their tool Britton.

Jack

A police officer and a driver he had pulled over on Auckland’s northern motorway dived for cover when they were shot at from a passing vehicle.

North Shore police area commander Inspector Mike Hill said the shooting was deliberate and could have had fatal consequences.

A highway patrol officer working alone had stopped a vehicle on a routine traffic matter in northbound lanes just south of the Silverdale off-ramp, police said.

A series of shots were fired across the motorway from a grey van travelling in the opposite direction, in the southbound lanes.

The shots came from a vehicle believed to be the style of a 1986 silver or prima grey Nissan vannette, or Mazda bongo van. It had tinted windows and may have been lowered.

“The deliberate firing of the shots at a police officer and members of the public placed lives at risk,” Mr Hill said, urging people to come forward with information.

Police yesterday examined the scene but found no bullets. Another search will be carried out today and lanes will be closed.
—————————————————————————
In our case the cops (Roe) didn’t even bother to glance in the direction of where we said we thought the bullets might have landed.

17.   Napier police arrest man after armed call out
13 March 2008

Police have arrested a man following an armed offenders squad (AOS) call out in the Napier suburb of Tamatea this afternoon.

It was the second time the squad had been called to the area in less than 24 hours.

Senior Sergeant Andy Sloan said police were called to a domestic incident in Argyll Crescent around 1pm.

A man, aged in his 50s, was arrested following reports he had a firearm and was making threats, Mr Sloan said.

No shots were fired and the man was being detained for assessment, he said.

Local woman Donna, who did not give her surname, told Newstalk ZB she saw her neighbour across the road with a gun.

“He’s right across the road, there’s armed offenders (squad members) in our front yard, and all over the place. The street’s blocked off both ways. He’s got a gun, but that’s all I know really.”

Mr Sloan said a number of cordons were in place around Argyll Crescent until around 4pm.

The armed offenders squad members were also called to Tamatea yesterday when a man was seen chasing another man with a gun.

Police are still investigating that incident.

“I’m well aware of the capabilities some of those porky bastards have got.” Former cop Frank Miessen

A few days prior to 10/10/92 the wife Sandra and I both made long statements to Senior Sergeant Neville Haggart about how Donald Britton was terrorizing our family; we wanted the Police to put a stop to his criminal campaign and revoke his firearms licence . So what does this Haggart genius do about it?

1

10/10/92  Senior Sergeant Neville Haggart, wearing a balaclava, with Britton about a 100 meters from our house. And he did that when he knew my wife and kids were at home, but he didn’t care if anyone was frightened by his criminal behaviour.

2

Here he is again compounding matters with a tough guy stance. Britton is playing for time, checking his radiator water, in the hope that, given time, I would react to Haggart’s provocations.

Then on 14/10/92 I went to see Haggart at his request  (he wanted “a few lines” off me) to make a statement about what happened on 10/10/92. For over an hour he tried to catch me out in a lie, asking me leading questions about what went on that day. Remember, I didn’t know it was him that wore the balaclava at that stage. During the interview this was said. (All on tape.)

Jack…Have you identified the joker? (The fool wearing the balaclava, I’d shown him the photos.)

Haggart….No

Jack….Isn’t it a crime to wear a mask?

Haggart….No

(To frighten or provoke people it is!)

3

Haggart….Could he be a farmer or anything like that?

Jack…No.

Haggart….If I call Britton in and we ascertain who this guy was, I don’t know how truthful Britton is likely to be?

Haggart is wondering how truthful Britton is likely to be! At the end of the interview I asked Haggart if he thought I was “bullshitter”. He said, “No”.

When I later (21/12/92) found out just how big a dirty liar Haggart really was I complained to his bosses in Wellington and this is what I got back.

4

Note 5. how Mansell dodged the core of my complaint.

In the end Haggart made a statement about his criminal antics of 10/10/92 and this is how the last page went.

(End of page 5) As having investigated this file in respect of Van Der Lubbe’s allegation that ;

5

So here we have Haggart, the filthy liar, making a false statement (written) to Police and in it he has the gall to accuse me of being untrustworthy twice and that after he admitted to me that he didn’t think I was a bullshitter. He was right about being taped. He admitted to Sandra that our statements to him were “accurate, very accurate”. This duplicitious mongrel’s word is used by prosecutors to put people in prison. Now there’s a scary thought.

Only liars fear the tape recorder.

Haggart has stated elsewhere that the reason he did what he did on 10/10/92 was, “To test my reaction.” A clear case of provocation.

That little episode taught me to never, ever trust another cop.

1.       Jack I have read the page. I don’t know whether it was him or not – again only your side is given. BUT if it was, then no, there is no way that sort of behaviour is correct from a Police officer. It’s a shame that the alleged actions of one over 12 years ago has lead you to never ever trust another cop (your words). It’s like saying that because one woman (or man) broke your heart years ago, you will never ever trust another again and then do everything you can to slag each and everyone of them for the rest of your life. I really don’t think anything I say would convince you otherwise…

Anonymous

Senior Sergeant Neville Morris Haggart states;

“On arrival at the property with BRITTON, I was dressed in jeans, a t-shirt and was wearing a balaclava.
The reason for doing this was because of the two previous instances where BRITTON had been to the vicinity of VAN DER LUBBE’s land and on each occasion they had resulted in an AOS callout by VAN DER LUBBE.
The first occasion was he alleged BRITTON was firing shots from a firearm from the land opposite which we had visited that day in the direction of his house.
The second occasion he has reported to the Wanganui Police that BRITION was on his land with a balaclava and was in possession of a firearm and was weaving in and out of tussock.
He was concerned for his safely, hence he called the Police station and AOS were activated on the second occasion only.”

The claims were made in the Hamilton District Court late last year during the trial of Ross Williams, Darryl Abraham, Douglas Williams, Darryl Williams and Hayden Abraham. The group were charged with running a cannabis-growing operation after police found extensive cannabis plots on land at Kereta on the Coromandel Peninsula in 2002. The five plots were on DOC land and were adjacent to land owned and occupied by Ross Williams.

The group appealed their convictions and sentences on a number of points, but primarily on the basis that police investigating the case were corrupt and had planted evidence at the scene.

In a reserved judgment released yesterday, Court of Appeal Justices Hammond, Williams and Gendall dismissed all the appeals against conviction and sentence.

The judgment says that during the trial, defence lawyers for the group made “vigorous” allegations of police corruption, perjury and planting of evidence.

“The allegations of improper conduct by the police were serious . . . . On our assessment of all the evidence, we cannot see any basis for such allegations. They are simply baseless claims made in an attempt by the appellants to explain away damning evidence, or the implications of certain exhibits. No evidence was adduced or elicited before the jury, to provide any foundation for the allegations.”

Waikato police crime manager Detective Inspector Peter Devoy said police welcomed the judgment and felt vindicated by the court’s ruling.

“Allegations such as these cut right to the heart of policing and many of our staff took these allegations personally. Police work tirelessly to catch offenders and put them before the courts and it is disheartening to say the least when defence counsel resort to this type of behaviour in defence of their clients.

“The allegations were total fabrications, but we were publicly labelled as corrupt and incompetent police. It’s very difficult for police to fight back from that sort of low blow.”

Mr Devoy said it was unusual for the Court of Appeal to come out so strongly in their judgment.

“Of course the defence does not have to give evidence, but claims of police corruption and planting of evidence, to be made responsibly, require some evidential foundation and none existed,” the judgment said.

Sad but probably true. I have lived in Kiwiland most of my life and you have hit the nail on the head. I have friends that have left the “family” because of incidencies like that listed above. Police corruption is disturbing and in reality more wide spread than most New Zealanders think. When I was a little younger I did have a fleeting interest in the force but thankfully, this passed. You’ve got steel nuts publicizing this information and I feel for your family (remember the guy in Christchurch who was severely beaten 4 years ago for doing the same thing you’ve done here.) If they hassle you, get the media involved, bout the only hingthat will save you these days. But be thankful you dont live in Papakura, my brother served there in the 90s, he ended up getting counselling not because of the “criminals” moreso the activities of his fellow workmates. A truely desperate pack of wild animals.

Glad Im not you

What people like ZebuQueen, Arwen, scud and Bluee are too thick to see, is that the force is being infiltrated by hypocrites. In their bid to cover this fact up, they don’t realise the insidious harm it does to the thin blue line. Eejits all!!

But I digress…I’m a bastard and I don’t want to be associated with that lying snake so…as far as I know, he’s not a bastard.

Take faith from telling the truth, for the truth will out, no matter how hard the deceitful try to suppress it.

Lying Godless cretins…they are a wart on the ass of the one true God.

Anonymous is right though…you can’t blame them all…there are some good ones. Unfortunately some are led astray by misguided loyalty.

I made a few comments and such and deleted them with twink kiwi_lad but I changed nothing the cops said. Check with them if you like.

You’d think I’d change things to make myself look better though kiwi_lad, don’t you think?

It’s a bastard when all you can do to the destroyer of your dearest illusions is call him a liar aye kiwi?

A former police senior sergeant has been ordered to pay $5000 to the senior constable he has been convicted of harassing for a second time.

Geoffrey James Hill, 48, told Christchurch District Court Judge Michael Green: “I just don’t believe the outcome. I just have this huge feeling of injustice over what’s happened. It just goes on and on and on”.

Judge Green replied: “It goes on and on because of your own actions. It is about time that you acted upon your claims that you want closure. Stop in any way approaching or dealing with this police officer.

“Put it behind you if that’s possible. Put behind you your feelings of injustice.”

He convicted Hill of criminal harassment today when he delivered his reserved decision after a hearing last week. He fined him $750 and ordered him to pay $5000 to the officer he harassed, for emotional harm.

The long sequence of events began when the senior constable stopped Hill for speeding in October 2003.

There is a dispute about what happened next, but Hill was arrested for assault and the charge was later reduced to obstruction.

Hill also complained of assault but his complaint to the Police Complaints Authority was not upheld.

He found out where the senior constable lived and wrote two letters, suggesting he should leave Christchurch.

One of them stated: “I take a very dim view of scum like yourself assaulting and injuring me like you did, but I am very patient and I now know quite a bit about you, including where you live, what vehicle you drive, and I will be taking a very close interest in you”.

In court on that charge, Hill had repeatedly mouthed the word “bastards” at the other officer and his wife, who is also in the police.

He was almost out of control with anger afterwards and the police prosecutor had to move him out of the way so that the officer and his wife could leave the court.

About two months later, the officer and his neighbour noticed Hill drive slowly along their rural road, do a U-turn and stop outside the officer’s driveway. Hill was stopped a short distance away.

In his second trial for criminal harassment last week he denied stopping, and said he had been driving around the area looking for ideas for house designs that might suit his own lifestyle block.

“That’s a perfectly natural thing for people to do when building houses.”

Hill told the court he had been a senior sergeant but had disengaged from the police after a diagnosis of post traumatic stress disorder.

He had run the police station at Kaikohe where the crime rate was immense.

It was regarded as a “punishment” station for police.

“We were in a state of siege the whole time. The police station was broken into repeatedly.”

He was on medication after that.

He denied in cross-examination that he had used his position as a mortgage broker to find out the addresses of properties owned by the senior constable.

He said anyone who paid for access to the database he used could have obtained the information.

He had then sent the two letters. Hill told the court: “I wanted him to get the letter and know how I felt. Even though he had been able to hide behind the system, I wanted him to know that we both knew what the true situation was.

“I accept it wasn’t a wise thing to do and I should not have done it. But I have been convicted of an offence.”

He acknowledged that at the earlier hearing, he had mouthed the word “bastard” at the senior constable and his wife.

He said it was pure coincidence that on August 6, he was seen outside the senior constable’s property.

Bad luck, every time. If you had read the stories, sans blinkers, you would have noticed that.

Call yourself an ex-detective, “I am advised Senior Sergeant Haggart has at no staged denied to you that he was the person wearing the balaclava.”
Did you detect that written by J H Mansell above did you Ex-demon?

“There is also no way Neville Haggert would even contemplate doing what you have suggested on here.”

Just shows you how wrong you can be about a person and how far a dumb cop will stoop to prove that its not them that are the liars in this saga.

LIKE I said on page one Ex-demon, “No need to make stuff up, the truth is sufficient.”
