In-his-own-words

Richards prepared document for the consideration of the court.

There is more material relating to Richard's declaration than is available here. However some questions for the Police come to mind...

  • Why are there two PRN numbers for Richard?
    • There are a number of responses to that question...
      • It's a clerical error => therefore it should be corrected.
      • It's standard practice => therefore it is not a unique identifier of a prisoner and will at least cause confusion and perhaps obfuscate information critical in court proceedings. Our criminal justice system needs to be reformed.
      • It's used to game the legal system. We do this so that if we don't like a prisoner or are asked to "deal" with a prisoner, we can run parallel records to deal to a prisoner punishment beyond the normal limits of the law => therefore a bunch of people in our criminal justice system need to be charged, go to trial and suffer the consequences.
  • What are the boxes or cubicles used for transporting clients?
    • What are the precise dimensions?
    • Are they standard for the transport of all clients regardless of size, weight and assessed risk level?
    • What level of commitment to duty of care is prescribed in the rule book?
    • What level of violence was demonstrated and recorded regarding Richard?

Richard has issued subsequent notices since his imprisonment.
