1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: The Justice Select Committee believes police may have too much 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: power when it comes to warrantless searches, so several changes 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: have been recommended to soften the Firearms Prohibition Amendment Bill. 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: So where does this leave the government's cracked down on gangs? 5 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: For example, the Police Association president Chris Carr Hill's back. Well, 6 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: this is Chris, very good morning to you. 7 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 2: Good morning Mike. 8 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:18,799 Speaker 1: If this goes through, does it make your life harder 9 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 1: if you can't search where you want to search? 10 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 2: Now? Look, when the firearms prohibition orders were brought in 11 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 2: by Labor, they had no search pairs at all, and 12 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 2: that was always we said that toothlus without it. So 13 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 2: national change that or this government changed that, said that 14 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 2: we're going to have search pairs. They probably pushed their 15 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 2: luck going that you could use it with suspect rather 16 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 2: than believe. You know, that's a subtle thing to some, 17 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 2: but when you're actually exercising that pair, having the belief 18 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 2: row and just suspicion is important, and then just limiting 19 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,599 Speaker 2: exactly where you can search us is probably fair enough. 20 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: You're going to get the mixed right when you're using 21 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: coersive pairs. So I think we can still do a 22 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 2: job pretty well with what they've come up with. 23 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: So you would back yourself to in whatever circumstance you 24 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: need to go and search for something, you will be 25 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: able to have the law that backs you up to. 26 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 2: Do it as long as you believe the person you're 27 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 2: dealing with has a firearms prohibition order. Now, the majority 28 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 2: of the times you're going to know you can do 29 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 2: a computer check straight away. But if you don't, the 30 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 2: person gives you a false name and you think I 31 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 2: believe your line and I think I know who you 32 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 2: really are, you can still use it. But if you're 33 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 2: just suspicious that he is, you could And I think 34 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: that's your next when you're using pass like this. 35 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: Okay, is this I read some of the stuff that 36 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: the committee is looking at. The committee to a point 37 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: seems to have wandered into the weeds, and they've got 38 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: a lot of red tape coming and your second guessing everything. 39 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: And you might be able to do this, but then 40 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: you can't do that, And what if you're over there 41 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: but not over here? Is it got that about it 42 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: or not? 43 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 2: It has a little bit, But I think the challenge 44 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: they've got is they know the courts are going to 45 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: scrutinize this really closely. The Bill of Rights is going 46 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 2: to come into play, so I think they're trying to 47 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 2: get that mix right. And but what have always learned, 48 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 2: you can pass whatever all you like in the end, 49 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 2: it's how the Court's intern put it. So these are 50 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 2: things that are going to be heavily challenged in the court, 51 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 2: probably all the way to the Supreme Court. So we'll 52 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 2: just have to see how that unfolds. But I think 53 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 2: they've got the mix right on paper, and then we'll 54 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 2: just have to see how the theory works. But it's 55 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: certainly better than what we had with no search pairs whatsoever. 56 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: Okay, you got to be on Andrew Costa. Moving on. 57 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 2: Oh look, I think nothing against Andrew, but I think 58 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 2: time for a change, you know. I think we've got 59 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: a new government with a different focus, and I think 60 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 2: they probably want to see someone different there, and I 61 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: think everyone really through a bit of a change for 62 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 2: five years. 63 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: Good on YP nice to talk to you, appreciate it 64 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: very much, and it was sort of my view yesterday, 65 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: wasn't it was a nice enough guy. But listen Chris 66 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: Carhill of the Police Association for. 67 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 2: More from the mic, asking Breakfast. 68 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: Listen live to news talks there'd be from six am weekdays, 69 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: or follow the podcast on iHeartRadio
