"Freedom & rights" protesters
#7
It seems the police have had more than enough of this lot & 11 of them have been arrested. If they're given fines, perhaps the McBishop will pay them for them. Smile

"As a result of us advising them of the serious safety concerns and the risk that they posed to themselves as well as other roadusers, they agreed to drive their vehicles over the bridge, we made an agreement with this group that they would travel at a set speed that would not cause undue risk to themselves and other roadusers," Hassan said.

However, once crossing the harbour bridge the procession broke this agreement and began to slow their vehicles, eventually coming to a complete stop.

Hassan said a number of people involved in the procession then exited their vehicles on the bridge.

"The behaviour that these people demonstrated today was incredibly selfish and it was simply stupid behaviour, we had advised them of the risks they posed to themselves and other roadusers and they absolutely took no notice of that," Hassan said.

She said the harbour bridge was a highly dangerous area for people to be exiting their vehicles, with winds reaching 60kmph this afternoon.

Charges laid today include obstructing police, resisting arrest, assaulting police and driving-related charges."
