Superintendent AK Waugh.

Inspector HH Hawthorn. v

After reading the above newspaper article Sandra and I went to see Hawthorn and asked him to put a stop to Britton's offending against our family he said, "No, it's all historic."  He simply ignored the fact that it was still going on.  Hypocrite!

ONE INSTANCE THAT COULD BE CONSTRUED AS INTIMIDATION.

21.08.2001 Harassing the wife of the policeman who shot Steven Wallace last year did not warrant a deterrent or punitive sentence, a New Plymouth judge ruled yesterday. Mr Wallace was shot dead on April 30 last year after a window-smashing spree in the Taranaki township of Waitara. A police inquiry decided that the officer acted in self-defence. Mr Wallace's mother, Raewyn Mary Wallace, aged 50, and his sister, Kelly Anne Wallace, 22, were convicted last month of harassing the constable's wife. They followed her home from her husband's farewell at New Plymouth police station last September 16 and spoke to her. Judge Patrick Toomey said periodic detention or community service would not be a constructive way of dealing with the problems of either family. Instead, he prohibited the defendants from associating with the officer's wife or her family for 12 months, and ordered each defendant to enter into a $2000 bond to keep the peace towards them. He noted that Raewyn Wallace had written a letter apologising "for what might have been seen as her wish to harm someone", but added that the Wallaces' behaviour had caused considerable concern to the officer's wife and her family. Judge Toomey said the women were all victims, suffering the consequences of an incident which had received significant publicity, and the court must pay heed to the unresolved grief of the defendants. He ordered the names of the complainant and her family to be permanently suppressed.

Compare that ONE instance with the eighty or more that we suffered at the hands of Britton and you can see the corruption in Hawthorn's position.

Compare that with what the corrupt Police made us put up with.

Plus, J Jeffries, Police Complaints Authority who simply went along with and thereby condoned the obviously corrupt police line saying, "I have to advise you that I am unable to arrive at a conclusion markedly different from that notified to you by Superintendent J M Thurston in his letter to you dated 22 March."

This is some of what JM Thurston said in that letter.

The Police have made every effort to resolve the conflict between your family and Donald Britton with little measure of success. The Police have adopted the policy of prosecution action where a breach of statute has occurred and there is sufficient supporting evidence. This has resulted in the prosecution of your husband Jack Van Der Lubbe on two occasions (both failed) and Donald Britton on one occasion. (Convicted of trespass despite McGillivray’s efforts to have the unavoidable prosecution fail.)

That action has not been taken in respect of alleged threats (and all the rest) made by Donald Britton is because of the situation of claim and counter-claim by both parties. Where there is no independent corroborative evidence, the Police, and indeed the Courts, have a problem in deciding whose word should be accepted. (We proved, by the Private Prosecution, what a pack of lies those two paragraphs are.)

And further down he said this. "From the facts of the situation as represented to me, (the slimy prick's giving himself an out) I am of the view that there is fault on both sides in respect of this conflict between you and Britton and any problems or perceived problems that your family has with Donald Britton are much of your own making."  (The lack of independent witnesses is what they were relying on to continue with their do nothing policy. Us, with no unbiased neighbours within 1k, would have had to install independent witnesses on our property. Then it would have been, Oh you’ve paid them to lie for you!)

This is the sort of shameless garbage that the Police dish up to and is so keenly believed by the Police Complaints Authority.

Why would the police behave in this manner I hear you scoff.

They did it because I committed the forever-unforgivable sin of making a complaint against a bent policeman some years before. (Irvine 1987.)

And we all know what happened to Doone.

Can you believe any of these people?

Whatever the latest diagnosis of what ails the FBI - mere incompetence or genuine evil - the real cause would seem to be a cancer of arrogance that springs from within.  Ditto the NZ Police.

Other people who aided and or abetted Britton in his criminal campaign were,  

 Simon James. (Constable Fincham warned Simon James for shooting a protected bird with a 30.06 within 100 meters of our house.)

Mike O’keefe. (Warned by Police for firing a .22 within 20 meters of our house.

Hugh Speed. (Warned by Police for discharging a 12-gauge shotgun into the rear tire of a passing motorist. He did it in anger but he only got a telling off and he got to keep his gun licence. It’s not what you’ve done it’s whether or not the police have a grudge against you. It’s called abusing their discretionary powers.)

I know I was a mug for being sucked in by Britton’s mind games but I also know that he has a screw loose. Better safe than sorry.

"But the responsibility of the police and the courts is to uphold the law without fear or favour." Phill Goff.

Abstract: A close analysis done by the Sporting Shooters Association of New Zealand has shown that gun laws have comprehensively failed to deliver the degree of protection to society that their advocates would insist they do. Instead, we find that the so called, "temporary insane", who've misused guns in high profile events, have in reality had long and extensive histories of deranged and threatening behaviour. Authorities have failed time and again to act when all those warning signs were present. Do killers need to send police and health authorities a telegram stating the time, date and place of a massacre before someone will act to prevent such tragedy? Those same authorities, when challenged about their failure to protect the public, find an all too willing media prepared to scapegoat guns for the actions of the homicidal madmen. The very people that the deliberate policies of successive governments have left abandoned and unsupervised in the community. Ironically, "tougher" gun laws reward those very same authorities for their stuff ups. Their promise is, "Give us even greater powers over ordinary law abiding people, and we promise, next time, we'll get it right".

It took the bent cops more than a year, from when we first complained of his death threats, to relieve Britton of his gun licence. A whole year of agitation by me was required to get them to something they should have done on day one.

The New Zealand police force is generally held in high esteem. It would be naive to consider that it has not made mistakes, a few serious after all, it is staffed by people not unlike most of us and is daily immersed in people very unlike most of us. It is impossible to cull every unsuitable recruit and equally difficult to guarantee that none will ever succumb to the temptations that pass his way. It has hard-won a reputation for being about as free of corruption as such an institution can be anywhere in the world, with similar gradings for its commitment to the public, and to efficiency and honesty.

And if you still believe that load of bollocks then you are, to put it quite simply, a fool.

Noel Wallace said his son Guy’s experience (at the hands of the police) had affected the family’s view of the police. “Up until that time we sort of looked up to the police but not now. I wouldn’t trust them two yards? Guy Wallace was the water taxi driver who dropped Ben Smart and Olivia Hope off at a ketch on early New Years day 1998.

I wouldn’t trust them one inch.
