Thankyou Jeff and Morag for replying.
The initial form they put in front of me was to just start the bail process. Spot for signature at the top and the cop then fills out everything below. I put three dots on this. The cop said i cant proceed with this. In the lockup then. I got pulled back out for something. I had my phonecall then to my wife. When she answered the cop said to her ‘if i didn’t sign the form i would be sent to Adelaide remand and released on Tues morning for a hearing’. They never said this to me directly. then they handed over the phone to me so we could talk. talk about pressure points and scripts on their part.
No pressure from my wife to do anything one way or the other. afterwards i signed beside the three dots and that form miraculously dissappeared. Then the start of the assualt for the photo and fingerprints which i refused non consent. Then the frog marching by the two arresting cops Me resisting and saying stop the assualt. As i was being dragged away, the sarge said “true to my word, now that you’ve signed, i’ll grant you bail”. I got the 2 cops to stop dragging me so i could ask a ques of the sarge “so now that you have granted me bail I don’t need to have my photo and fingerprints done?” asked as a question. his reply was ” no, your signature only starts the bail process” No mention of photo/fingerprint until after i signed first time. Is this linked?
After this the new Notice form which you,ve seen which i had to sign first and then the cop completed.
The dirty games they play. before i got out of the car, i gave my wallet and phone to my 14yr old son. After i was taken away, while he was there at the car on his own with another cop, they asked him to give them my licence. Which he did. Then at the station while he was waiting for mum to arrive and pick him up, the cops ask him for my phone from him. which he handed over.
So i’m being booked at the station and not giving my details and the arresting copper pulls my licence out of his pocket and hands it over to the sarge and the sarge uses it to fill in my details. I still kept my cool. That was the toughest moment.
I asked how did you get my licence? and the sarge answered as i stated above. later when they removed all my belongings from me, another rabbit trick, they pulled out my phone. Same question. Answer as i stated above.
