1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: You start.

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 2: Jason Lawrence P.

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 3: Cheesy's in the house, Superintendent Wayne Cheese man our friendly

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 3: police office.

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 4: That morning.

6
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 5: Cheer Cheesy, Good morning. Everyone's been happening in the wild

7
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 5: western Melbourne.

8
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: Same thing. Really, it's the police are still out there

9
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: twenty four to seven, arresting more than more people than ever.

10
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: Good news is we've seized more knives than we ever have,

11
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: over fifteen thousand this year, So that is.

12
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 5: It's sort of good news but sort of bad news.

13
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 5: They're all out there, right, Yeah.

14
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: No, you're right. Anyone shouldn't be out there indeficially.

15
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 5: Is anyone putting their knives in those silly little bins?

16
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: There actually have been, really, there have been machetes. Has

17
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: been several thousand machetes handed in. I don't know whose hands,

18
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: I don't know the right people are handing them in.

19
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: But but and he's having an effect, believe it or not.

20
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 5: Great.

21
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: But these are the ones that the officers on the

22
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 2: beat seizing from people, right.

23
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: So these fifteen thousand are separate to the one. These

24
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: are the ones where we're doing search warrants and we're

25
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: searching people under our different powers and having quite a

26
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: bit of success.

27
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: Of One of the debates that's happening right now Cheese

28
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: is around Jack's Law, which is in Queensland, brought in

29
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: on the back of a horrendous death involving a teenager there.

30
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 2: It gives police the powers to wand wand people on

31
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: the streets.

32
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 4: Like a metal detechnique.

33
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: It's effectively what the state opposition is calling for the

34
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 2: government to bring in. Here would something like that change

35
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 2: the game?

36
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: So we have we have similar powers under what we

37
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: call these omni operations where we get areas declared so

38
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: we can we can have that leading up to protest

39
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: activity we have around the side. We are running that

40
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: operation in the CBD across the CBD for the next

41
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: six months leading up to Christmas in the new year,

42
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: because we know the influx of people and the influx

43
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: of young people into the.

44
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 4: City and you can just ward people occurring.

45
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can if the area has been designated.

46
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 3: And is that where you're finding these kids that are

47
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: caring knives and stuff? Is a train station, a shopping centers, right, to.

48
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: Be honest, everywhere it's in shopping centers, it's in train stations,

49
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: it's in the streets, in schools.

50
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 6: And are they protesting, like we're not protesting in the

51
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 6: literal sense, But are they objective when you go up

52
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 6: to them and say, hey, we're going to search you.

53
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: No, they don't. It's a different culture now, so people

54
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: are a lot more confident around the police now. So

55
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: there is a there is a definite lack of respect

56
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: towards the police, and there's no fear of the police

57
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: probably like there was when I was younger. But generally

58
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: if we have the power, they comply. But generally they

59
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: know when we have power and when we don't, and

60
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: if we don't have it, they they know that.

61
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 4: They know they find.

62
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 6: A machete on someone, are they what's the consequence for

63
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 6: that person?

64
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: Well, it can be depending on their history and if

65
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: they're on bail and all this. But if it's just

66
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: a one off piece, I think it could be someone

67
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: to go to court down the track.

68
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: A lot of that confidence kids, especially even younger than sixteen,

69
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: have is because of how social media has empowered them.

70
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: Do you think in this is just a random question

71
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 2: of random thought, but the social media band which comes

72
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: in in what ten days time? I think eighteber ten yep,

73
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: will that have any impact? Do you think on how kids,

74
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: especially under sixteen are thinking and behaving potentially, because there

75
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: are a number when it comes to policing.

76
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: So there's no doubt that social media has influence and

77
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: there's a connection through social media. It's not always the

78
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: sites that are influencing. It can be the dialogue between people.

79
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: And what we're finding is there's a lot of networked

80
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: youth defending. So the networks talk together, not necessarily looking

81
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: at something on Instagram or on YouTube, but that definitely

82
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: does it.

83
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: But this could break a network potentially.

84
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: This could have an influence where probably it's not as

85
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: glorified some of the behaviors we're seeing.

86
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 3: Well, the videos that I see online of the kids

87
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 3: breaking into houses half the time, they're not even stealing anything.

88
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: They just want to go like, look, we're in someone's house,

89
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: waving a machete everywhere.

90
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,279
Speaker 5: It's like stupid, crazy, crazy.

91
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,839
Speaker 3: Thirteen twenty four ten is our number. Cheesey's in the house.

92
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: Any questions, give us a ring. We're going to take

93
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 3: some calls and then Lauren's got something that we need a.

94
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 4: Question about Clint.

95
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 6: But before we get to Clint, I've got a quick

96
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 6: question for you, cheese Now we have cameras in our house,

97
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 6: like oh sorry, on the outside of our house like

98
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 6: many people, and we get a little thing that sets off.

99
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 6: We've got like a little sectioned off area, and we

100
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 6: get a little notification on our phone if there's an

101
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 6: intruder that comes up intruder. And the other day I

102
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 6: got a thing saying intruder alert, and it was we've

103
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 6: got some flats next to us, and it was a

104
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 6: guy who had run and jumped their back fence like

105
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 6: he'd clearly had he was in a rush to get

106
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 6: away from someone. And with this vision of this guy

107
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 6: who looked like he'd just robbed someone's house or done something,

108
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 6: but he hadn't done anything to our house, what should

109
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 6: I do with that vision? Should I go to my

110
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 6: local police station and say, I don't know if this

111
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 6: is going to be helpful to you, but this guy's

112
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 6: clearly on the run from someone.

113
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: He had a backpack full of stuff, So I guess

114
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: anything can help if there's an investigation going on. So

115
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: you could ring your local police station and say, my

116
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: alarm was triggered. I have some vision. If it's of

117
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: interest to anyone, here's my number.

118
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 4: Let me know.

119
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: We can then do some internal comms. We will know

120
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: what's going on in the area, so it could be helpful.

121
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 5: So always hand that over.

122
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 4: If we have your partner. More cop would have been

123
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 4: all over it.

124
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 5: He called me more cop persistent when.

125
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 4: You sounded like Paul just then.

126
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: But I guess to your point, if there was a

127
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: report from a neighbor of a breaking enter or something

128
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: that aid that investigation, definitely help you.

129
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 5: She was climbing over a back fence into a lane

130
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 5: way with the.

131
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 4: Bag falls thirteen twenty four ten.

132
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 3: If you got a question for the cheese, what's Clinton?

133
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 5: Healks kind of funny.

134
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 6: He called me yesterday in an absolute flap cheese and

135
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 6: he was driving down highway to Geelong and there's all

136
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 6: the cameras, some of them are attached to bridge, and

137
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 6: there's some free standing ones.

138
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 5: And he called me and said, hey, Loss, this is.

139
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 4: Your area, isn't it. That's your sort of hood.

140
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 6: You know those cameras highway.

141
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 4: Just because he's your friend. He's not here to are they.

142
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 6: Filming inside the car? I said, oh, it depends. I

143
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 6: think the ones on the bridge is a speed cameras.

144
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 6: And he goes so glasy he goes because I was

145
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 6: eating some pineapple out of the tub, and I'm a

146
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 6: bit concerned that I'll be charged as a distracted driver.

147
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 6: Am I allowed to be eating while I'm driving? And

148
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,239
Speaker 6: I said, oh, cheese is in tomorrow?

149
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 5: We'll ask him. That's so embarrassing you won't text me.

150
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 2: But it's a good question. Can I be charged or

151
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: fined with eating pineapple behind the wheel?

152
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,559
Speaker 1: So you there's two parts to it. No, you would

153
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: be very you will not be charging eating food in

154
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: the car or having a drink or whatever. But if

155
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: you had too handfuls of pineapple and you were steering

156
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: with your knees rexample, if you could get charged with

157
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,239
Speaker 1: careless driving, right.

158
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 3: But if you're getting a massive accident and it was

159
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 3: because you dropped bloody kebab sauce on you and look down.
