Ah well Csteele it does sound simple doesn't it ?
Unfortunately when it gets to court, the defense will ask if the
constable is a finger print expert.

The have to have a certain number of points for it to be accepted as
a match.
Imagine trying to make such a check on a windy rainy night at the side of the road by sight.
You got to be kidding.

Actually Bazz like a great deal csteel says it is rubbish.
To the best of my understanding finger prints are not required to get a drivers license.
It will be true soon, that much more formal ways of proving ID will come.
It is questionable, at least, that this woman told the truth about any thing that happened that day.
The in car police film showed she lied, for this she was convicted,then set free by a foolish law giver unfit for his office.
You may not agree, but hear me out, csteel charges ,with out naming, ME and others, she has done so often.
Because without a thread of racism, I highlight the criminal culture within some Muslim groups.
MATHEMATICS! judges do not pick on them, but they are over represented in our courts and prisons.
This COP doing his job, should have been supported by us, the community and the courts.
I warn, every view has value BUT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS the second or is it third Language csteel speaks here insults true our freedoms and in My view our country.
Once with pride from the true left, Once something to be Proud of its achievements.
I note it is now like a hermit crabs shell inhabited by just may be its owners killers.
Cares nothing for women and girls dressed as letter box's in the name of A God that never existed.

Dear Bazz,

It is a hell of a lot simpler than what I had to face on a dusty SA road when I was younger. I have stamped on the back of my license that 'Corrective lenses must be worn' and my photo ID had me wearing glasses. This copper, not in the best mood possibly because I had a bunch of pissed mates being yobs in the back, decided I had to prove I was wearing contacts. Holding my eye opened while he shone his torch in it was bad enough but when he claimed he couldn't be sure and wanted me to take one out I objected. It took me walking him away from the car and explaining there was no way I wanted to put a dirty lense back in without a cleaning solution and as I was the only safe driver he didn't want me leaving them here wandering over the road. Finally he asked me instead to read his numberplate. Once done we shook hands and I was
on my way.

Now I understand he was making things difficult because he was copping a bit of nonsense from my mates. He could have made me read something at distance right from the start but the letter of the law is a powerful thing to drag out when you think someone needs to be taken down a peg or two.

Let's get this burka thing sorted with a good protocol for dealing with the issue of identity when it arises. When rights and responsibilities are clear and known by both parties it will take a lot of heat out of the matter, something we all should be wishing
for.

Ah dear Belly,

Still prattling on, never letting a fact get in the way of a good prejudice?

You wrote"Looks like? the cop never touched her she lied." But your problem is she never claimed he touched her. I have repeatedly told you the facts yet you keep ignoring them. Why? The term 'blind prejudice' seems apt unless you have a different take.

No matter how much you rant and rail those facts are not going to change and you are going to have to accept them. If you don't then it speaks to something rather nasty in you that I am thankful is not more widespread in Australia.

Dear csteele,

We all sat and watched on television during the news report showing a recording (video and voice) of the incident filmed from a fixed camera in the front of the police car.

The entire incident which was presented in court and it bears up the claim presented in court by the
policeman. The burqa-clad person had a perfect Aussie accent and everything was clearly heard what she said. She was yelling and accusing the policeman on a variety of issues - religious and racial
included. At no point did the police officer make any motion to touch her or her garments and in a calm manner proceeded to explain the offense and request the removal of the burqa for identification purposes for comparison with the drivers licence image. She was offensive and behaving irrationally. As a result the burqa clad individual who appeared in court could not be identified as that same person who appeared in the video. The judge had no other option but to
come up with the judgement that was made. As no ID of the offender was possible.

It was shown in the media that two burqa clad identically looking women left the court.

Like most of these things there is something more behind the story.

The burqua's driving record was read out on the radio today.
She has many many offences going back to the early 2000s.
The reason she was on Ps was because she had been a suspended driver.
I didn't count the number of offences but it must have been about 20.

She is really a menace to have on the road. I wonder if the incidents
were because the burqua obscured her vision. A number were speeding fines.
