You have a point but what crime? 'Hurt feelings'?
We're convicting and giving people a criminal conviction because of hurt feelings now?
Didn't George Brandis say 'It's your right to be a bigot'.
This is a weird situation.
Yes, convict her of drunk and disorderly, criminal damage and the rest of it but 'hurt feelings'?
Really?
Who here wants to possibly go to jail or carry around a criminal conviction because they were pissed up and said something a bit how you going?
As idiotic as those neo-nazis in Melbourne and recently Adelaide are they have a right to be a bunch of c#$@$ if they want to be providing they're not inciting violence.
well Muz, hey back in my day you'd either say F off back etc BUT not abuse a cop - only those who ventured for a beating on the side did I suppose.
Now todays a different world and lets face it pissed of not telling a cop your anything your done, abuse.
Next is every country deals and has varying laws compared to us.
Here I think it can be a on the spot fine, such as a general situation below :
Is it an offence to swear at a police officer in Australia?
While swearing at a police officer is not ideal,
it doesn't automatically guarantee an arrest. However, if your language is deemed offensive in a public place, you could face an on-the-spot fine or, in more serious cases, be arrested and taken to the police station.
Then there's this :
In New South Wales, Australia, the charge for abusing a police officer while under the influence of alcohol is typically classified as "assaulting a police officer" under Section 60 of the Crimes Act 1900, with the maximum penalty being 5 years imprisonment; the fact that the assault occurred while intoxicated would be considered an aggravating factor in sentencing.
Now the UK or whereever deal with it THEIR way and most likely she is being targeted as a high profile person ?
Who really knows and I agree its a beat UP imo a trial over 5days again their system.
Point is though what an idiot behaving as such in the first place !!!! considering the status she knows she has.
Hence why what I said.
How come countless bigger Pro footballers than her do NOT get in this situation ?
They are far far smarter they know they will dragged through the press like mad, hence she does deserve copping it and the lesson to be learnt for obviously she does think her shit don't stink !
Been many things in the background about her behaviour and the Matildas let alone her fam background issues.
Suppose she finally is getting called out.
