General lunacy w/police - came back to my matchbox room the other week, found search warrant on bed + room in vague chaos + space-where-possessions-used-to-be (which they didn't provide a receipt for). Looked at the warrant, found that I was suspected of scarpering off with my best friend's property while I was in America etc with them. & were not very helpful at all. Finally managed to track down officer responsible etc; logic of confiscating my clothing is that it was GURLIE (lots of 2nd-hand stuff, hand-me-downs from friends, plus a Professor-Plum-In-Drag outfit & etc). & they haven't given it back yet and are being fairly cool about the whole affair despite admitting that I hadn't nicked off w/whiteware, computers & other such items. Vague attempts at intimidation in terms of how officers speak, the rooms they talk to you in, & so on.

Should I file various complaints due to harassment & farcical nature of whole affair? Me vs The Law fite etc.

(cool as in 'frosty')
When displaying the search warrant to the person w/missing possessions, her first reaction was the list of things they were looking for wasn't even remotely complete. & apparently her boyfriend (also with her the entire time overseas) was their first suspect. Gah smug servants-of-the-status-quo & general incompetency (& said officer is in charge of homocide(!) in Dunedin, although I can't exactly say we're up to our kilts in korpses).

"Looked at the warrant, found that I was suspected of scarpering off with my best friend's property while I was in America" Any truth to the charge? Seems very strange that they would assign a senior officer, unless they were looking for something else but didnt have enough proof for a warrant. If your conscience is clear dont put up with that sort of shit, nail them- hard, if youre not after money from them dont bother with a lawyer, Id go to the media, make sure you get a written apology.

wipe the fuckers out - from my understanding of antipodean law, unless your goods are evidence, police can't keep em, and if they haven't charged you, they can't keep your shit. fry the fuckers. demand vengeance. summon thor and odin.
