Senior Sergeant Chris Hurley: A Criminal with a Badge

Former Queensland police officer Chris Hurley was in court again this week.

He was found guilty on two counts of dangerous driving during a high-speed police pursuit in the suburb of Pacific Pines on the Gold Coast in May 2015.

The 49-year-old ex-senior sergeant is no stranger to the courtroom. In February this year, he pleaded guilty to assaulting a female police officer in a Gold Coast shopping centre twelve months earlier.

But Hurley’s career in the force really came to a halt in December last year, after he was found guilty of assaulting Luke Cole during a roadside arrest in November 2013, when he unjustifiably put the driver in a choke hold.

At the time of his hearing for that offence, Hurley was already suspended without pay due to a string of charges against him. He has since taken “medical retirement”.

However, if one takes a closer look at Hurley’s police career – or rather the times he’s been on the wrong side of the law – what one finds is an example of the systemic racism that pervades the Queensland police service, and on a broader scale, many other Australian institutions.

The Palm Island tragedy

On 19 November 2004, Mr Doomadgee – or Mulrunji – died in custody at Palm Island police station.
The 36-year-old Indigenous man had been arrested by sergeant Hurley for allegedly being drunk and disorderly. One hour after being taken into custody, Mr Doomadgee was dead.

During the ensuing criminal trial, Hurley claimed Mr Doomadgee had fallen, after the two had scuffled. The prosecution had alleged the sergeant kneed the detained man in the stomach, causing serious damage to his liver.

The pathologist who conducted the post-mortem compared Mr Doomadgee’s injuries to those of plane crash victims. He suffered broken ribs, a ruptured spleen and his liver was so damaged it was almost split in two across his spine.

In June 2007, Chris Hurley was acquitted by an all-white jury of the manslaughter of Cameron Doomadgee.

Less than a month after Mr Doomadgee’s death, Hurley was transferred to work on the Gold Coast.
He even received a $100,000 compensation payment after his house was burnt down during the unrest on Palm Island following the news of the autopsy results.

And therein lies the inherent racism in the system. An Indigenous man dies in custody and an officer is acquitted of manslaughter by an all-white jury, despite what seemed to be overwhelming evidence of guilt.

But now, that very same policeman’s career is in tatters after being convicted of the relatively minor assault of an Anglo Australian man.

Blatant discrimination revealed

Due to the unrest that broke out on the island, Lex Wotton, a Palm Island local, was charged with inciting a riot and sentenced to six years in prison in September 2008. He served 19 months before being released on parole.

In 2014, Mr Wotton launched a class action against the Queensland government over the racially discriminatory way it handled the death of Mr Doomadgee, as well as the subsequent unrest on the island.

According to Wotton’s lawyers, the police had contravened section 9(1) of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 by conducting themselves differently during the unrest because they were dealing with an Aboriginal community.

In December last year, the Federal Court found that Queensland police had indeed acted with unlawful discrimination when failing to suspend Sergeant Hurley after Mr Doomadgee’s death.

The court also found there was a “disproportionate show of force” by police on the protesting Aboriginal community.

“Paternalism and racism”

But it didn’t stop there. The Palaszczuk Government, along with Queensland police, decided to file an appeal against the landmark Federal Court decision, as they claimed there was not enough evidence to support it.

Central Queensland University professor Gracelyn Smallwood launched a successful campaign against the government’s appeal in February. Her online petition garnered close to 18,000 signatures and led politicians to drop the appeal.

As for the example of Hurley’s career, Ms Smallwood said it reveals the “paternalism and racism” that’s inherent not only in the Australian criminal justice system, but throughout the whole of Australian society.

“It was so blatant and open what happened to our brother on Palm Island,” the professor told Sydney Criminal Lawyers®. And Hurley “got a smack on the hand and then a promotion.”
She added that our nation has “a long way to go in terms of justice.”

Discrimination at every level

“There is no doubt that Australia is still a very racist country,” the Birrigubba elder said. “We’re three percent of the population and we’re fourteen times more likely to be locked up in prison.”

Indeed, the 2016 Census figures reveal that there were 649,171 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the country, which accounts for just 2.8 percent of the population. However, in June 2016, there were 10,596 Indigenous prisoners in Australia, which is 27 percent of the adult prisoner population.

“And a lot of our people are not there for very violent crimes,” Ms Smallwood continued. “They’re there for the unresolved grief, loss and trauma of colonisation.”

The professor of nursing and midwifery also pointed out that when it came to the Howard government implementing “special measures” in remote Aboriginal communities during the initial stages of the Northern Territory Intervention, the Racial Discrimination Act actually had to be suspended.

Ms Smallwood also questioned the reasoning behind the alcohol management plan that was implemented as part of the Intervention. After two years of the emergency measures, it was found that alcohol-related crime had risen by 34 percent, and this was thought to be because possession had become illegal.

“People, like myself, warned the government that prohibition has never worked anywhere in the world,” Ms Smallwood said over the phone from Palm Island. “Why would it work on communities that are suffering all the dysfunctions of… colonisation?”

Justice on the horizon

Despite all that has occurred, Ms Smallwood believes change is coming. Proof of this is that the majority of people who signed her petition against the state government’s attempt to overturn the Federal Court ruling that authorities had acted with extreme racism were non-Indigenous.

For the professor, it’s all about recounting the truth of what has occurred on our continent.

“Once the true history of this country is told, we can reconcile. I’m very optimistic that will happen.” In relation the success of the campaign, Ms Smallwood remarked, “So that was a great outcome. But we’ve got to keep speaking out.”

This is just one reason you cannot trust the police

(Please note, that The Age publication did not provide a picture of Mr. Samuel Miller, but rather a generic photo pertaining to Victoria Police as seen below. Photo Source: Bendigo Advertiser) 

From a roadside 'interview' prior to the issuing of an 'Infringement Notice' to a Supreme Court matter, 'you' (a member of the serf population) cannot trust the police.

Roadside interviews include 'entrapment' and false information provided by the interviewing officer.

Your only response to any question outside of providing your details must be 'no comment' irrespective of your urge to respond to ridiculous questions presented to you.

Depending on the court matter, police do tamper with evidence, present false statements and even tamper with witnesses.

You can literally never trust any police officer's alleged occurrence of events presented as so called 'evidence'.

See just one example that made it to the public news media, as described by The Age publication from 27 May 2020 of the headline:

Cop forged victims' statements so he didn't have to waste his time

A Victorian policeman who faked documents to end criminal investigations he didn't think were worth his time has been ordered to do community work.

Samuel James Miller, 36, faked documents from victims of crime claiming they wanted to withdraw their complaints, including a 14-year-old assault victim.

The Bendigo detective senior constable claimed he believed the three victims were unco-operative, and he was frustrated by that.

He believed Victoria Police's process for ending investigations was cumbersome and he was saving time.

Miller was caught after creating a false statement, claiming an assault and aggravated burglary victim signed a document asking to withdraw her complaint.

When interviewed he said it was the only time it had happened, that he didn't believe the investigation was worthy of his time and he wanted to rid it from his workload.

But an internal investigation found two other cases, including where he had faked a statement from a 14-year-old boy who was assaulted.

He recorded in the investigation file that the teen had recanted his statement and that the incident was "most likely a disputed drug transaction".

Miller, who joined Victoria Police in 2006, has been suspended without pay and will now be sacked.

County Court Judge Phillip Coish on Wednesday ordered Miller complete 100 hours of unpaid community work.

AAP

Deputy Chief Medical Officer NOT fined for telling you to use the app. Why?

Currently  during these ‘unprecedented’ times (well, the ‘precedence’ was already set during the Spanish flu in 1919), we are experiencing  a barrage of messages over the television air waves.

These messages come in the form of an advertisement, which means it is an ‘enticement’ or an action in telling you to conduct business/commerce/trade, where this message is not a ‘public notice’.

Dr. Nick Coatsworth,  is telling you to purchase an app from either Google or Apple BEFORE you leave your place of residence.

The business that is supporting his words is the 'Australian Government'.

Putting aside the legalities that people in your contact list are being traced WITHOUT their consent, there is a newly placed law that PROHIBITS a person or business to require the downloading of the app.

So, according to the law, the Privacy Amendment (Public Health Contact Information) Act 2020;

94H  Requiring the use of COVIDSafe

             (1)  A person commits an offence if the person requires another person to:

                     (a)  download COVIDSafe to a communication device;

See https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C2020A00044

So, let’s be very clear about this:

Dr. Nick Coatsworth is telling you to purchase the app, illegally.

The penalty is 5 years or 300 penalty units, or both.

The business that one works for is also subject to penalties, in this case it is the ‘Australian Government’.

Will Dr. Nick Coatsworth be fined or imprisoned?

Is he above federal law?

eMail is INSECURE yet governments & businesses insist you use it, why?

‘Punishing’ you for not using eMail.

Governments (there are only two legitimate in Australia, federal and state) and businesses are punishing charging you an extra few dollars for obtaining a bill via the postal service, and pushing you towards eMail as a means of communication.

Currently in the illustration above it is your choice whether or not to obtain your rates notice via eMail, where at some point there will be no choice whatsoever, which is not very ‘democracy’ like, where most people will not care about this detail and if they wake up it will be too late.

This post has been deliberately structured to stay away from the technical aspects covered in this post, where those who require more information can search for it from technical sources.

People should know that the ‘internet’ is a government resource where electronic mail is also part of this communication medium.

Government (and business) Information Technology administrators (should) know that email is insecure, as they themselves are able to read their bosses emails without that person knowing or being aware that their company email was read.

Since their inception, the fundamental protocols created for email communications are insecure, where clear text is passed over the internet from one recipient to another across different email addresses, e.g. someone@gmail.com to someone.else@yahoo.com.

Over the years ‘encrypted’ email may have wrapped up a security envelope to the context of the message, but the other ‘metadata’ necessary for communications purposes still can be easily read and used against the sender and/or recipient.

An encrypted eMail may be safer (from other users reading it) within the same domain (or business),  but it stall can be read by an ‘administrator’.

Since inter domain email is insecure, e.g. your ‘Constitutional Argument’ regarding fines in Australia filing within the High Court of Australia, from your email at say JohnCommonwealth@gmail.com to whoever@hcourt.gov.au, why do they ‘insist’ you use this medium?

If one writes a letter to another person, and someone wanted to know the contents of this letter, then one would assume that to do this ‘legally’ there would have to be probable cause where a warrant would have to be issued, to be presented to the postmaster in order to open the letter without the recipient being aware that the contents of the envelope were tampered with upon arrival at the destination.

Now, with clear text travelling over the wire, all the authorities have to do is capture this data WITHOUT any warrant whatsoever and literally read the contents of the message easily and quickly.

To do everything by email, from your phone, via apps and cashless transactions is all part of the mass surveillance agenda where MANY people are helping the authorities achieve their goals VERY quickly.

Don’t forget to stack up those ‘rewards’ from your cashless transactions, where you’ve sold your data to government and corporations for a ‘reward’ that they’ve written off on tax.

Corporate slaves rewarded for their slave mentality.

Proof the government is dodgy, re: COVIDSafe App code

How do you STOP your code from being looked at or scrutinised?

You make an ‘offer’ a person HAS TO refuse!

In the case of the ‘Australian Government’ it is in the following manner:

“I am responsible for any costs of third party claims associated with my access to the App Code, and must pay those claims on request.”

Source: https://covidsafe.gov.au/app-code-terms-and-conditions.html

Do you comprehend (a different meaning to ‘understand’) those words?

Can you ‘legally’ agree to something like this?

Quite simply put IF there is a claim against your person for VIEWING the code, the best action is NOT to pay.

NEVER PAY !!! !!! !!!

Get them to take you to a 'court of law' regarding their so called claim.

Apple, Google now require your GPS location with Bluetooth on

With the new enactment of a law or technological ‘upgrade’ the people lose a slice of their privacy and (perceived) freedoms.

The upgrade of Google’s Android smart phone operating system to v10 or Q, and subsequently app manufacturer’s compliance with the new operating system version, in order for an app to work with its corresponding Bluetooth accessory, Bluetooth must be (obviously) turned on, with the mandatory addition of the GPS switch (or rather software toggle), in order for the accessory/program to function.

Under previous Google’s Android version, the accessory, e.g. Bluetooth headphones or ear piece microphone set would work without the need for any GPS coordinates, where there is zero technical need for the operating system to know one’s (reasonably) precise GPS location.

The above holds true for Apple’s iOS smart phone operating system.

Since Apple and Google support the various government agencies mass surveillance agenda, this information is given to whichever three letter acronym business asks for it.

After a certain event metadata or mass surveillance became known under the auspice of public safety, where the ‘nothing to hide, nothing to fear’ argument was thrown out over the airwaves. 

This term applied to the commoners and not the people in government irrespective of their corrupt activities.

Fast forward approximately 20 years and now and we have the next level of surveillance implemented on the plebs, under the unarguable topic of 'public health', with new terms evolving like Wi-Fi scanning, Wi-Fi triangulation, and the new government sponsored contact tracing where the persons in your contact list do NOT have a choice to opt out of being tracked for ‘health reasons’.

Remember that according to law, EVERY action must be done voluntarily, WITH your consent.

The REAL problem is that this (Bluetooth) ‘contact tracing’ will return a false positive against your (or another) person, to (both) Apple, Google, where this information WILL be passed on to whichever government or insurance corporation asks for it.

You, by downloading the virus related health app, AND admitting to (Google, Apple) that you tested positive, WILL be screwing over persons in your contact list even if they did not catch anything from you where they were in another room from you.

Apparently from the words of the Australian Government over 5 million downloads occurred of their virus app.

It’s NOT about your ‘health’ but rather your privacy and security.

Governments using the virus distraction to enact dodgy law

This is what happened in [the colony of] New Zealand:

What dodgy (draconian) law has been put in place in your neck of the woods?

5G – The new kid on the block will give up a more precise location.

Briefly, 

One of the benefits for the authorities of new technology introduced to the ’consumer’ market is more data collection on the individual, which also includes a more precise location.

As if 6ft (indoor) accuracy is not enough via something called Wi-Fi triangulation from your device’s (constant) Wi-Fi scanning, an inbuilt ‘feature’ of Apple’s iOS and Google’s proprietary version of Android, where the user has zero option of turning this ‘feature’ off.

MANY consumers may be ignorant of the fact that location tracking was not implemented recently into smart phones installed with chips that read data from satellites with whatever 3 or 4 letter acronym the system is called, but rather this tracking capability has been with us since day one of GSM (2G) communication system being switched on.

This is done through something called tower triangulation, as shown in a ‘simple’ diagram below:

[Australian] government departments would use this tower triangulation method on their employees WITHOUT their knowledge or consent.

As each generation of mobile tower communication (3G, 4G) improved so did its accuracy of location determination, but there was still the same ‘problem’.

In relation to passive tracking, broadcasting was based on the signal emission from the tower at 360 degrees (3 antennae at 120 degrees per tower location), where an approximate location is derived as seen in the above illustration.

Deliberate by design.

They could have kept going with the ‘old ways’, but that’s NOT the agenda.

This is where 5G comes into its own, as the next best thing (in the mass surveillance agenda).

With 5G, the towers now direct their waves towards your device, measuring the time taken to do a round trip communication ping, in the process obtaining a much more precise location of the device.

Your device is now being honed in by the telecommunications company with this new technology, with a simple analogy of a guard at a tower shining a spotlight on you.

As always with government ‘players’, there is never just one source to be relied upon, where your location is also cross referenced with known Wi-Fi router’s  physical addresses if GPS is not available, as for example mapped by Google in their street view cars, with special Wi-Fi sniffing hardware, where this data now becomes the property of Google.

As mentioned above this part (the logging of scanned Wi-Fi routers) is done at the operating system level, programmed by Apple and Google.

This is also another reason why ‘consumers’ are given a duopoly, as it’s easier for governments to ‘administer’ those corporations.

In relation to the two major ‘consumer’ market smart phone operating systems, Apple and Google are deliberately working against your privacy and security for the governments of the world.

Any denial of this is a deliberate lie.

The next model of iPhone will use LiDAR technology to better scan you.

Quite simply put, by not purchasing 5G equipment, you are not sponsoring research and development for corporations to surveil you, but MANY will embrace this new form of surveillance.

Do you really 'need' to watch your 4K (25 megabits per second speed required, according to Netflix) motion picture, on a 5G (1 to 3 gigabits per second speed) mobile phone?

More like they need to surveil you at that speed, you fast moving 'rascals and outlaws'  (LOL).

Aussies conned with COVID app, next phase of global surveillance already in action

Briefly,

Australian taxpayers (you know the hard working ‘mums and dads’) have been hoodwinked out of their tax dollars for a government scam where a stock standard ‘money for mates’ deal occurred, that being the production of Australia’s COVIDSafe app.

The app even though being heavily advertised, is totally useless in its function, as mentioned by the mainstream media a while ago, where the app is realistically not necessary at all, as the core functions of tracking have already been implemented by the world’s smart phone duopoly, i.e. Apple and Google into their operating system updates.

A reminder that in order to obtain a SIM card, Australian mobile telecommunications ‘consumers’ must provide personally identifiable documentation, such as a driver licence, social security or medicare identification to use a registered SIM for whatever internet connected device one is using, be it feature/smart phone, tablet or 3G/4G/5G router.

Now, your internet connected device together with its IMEI and IMSI creates a unique device (different from browser) ‘fingerprint’ tied to your person’s name where it travels with you wherever you and your device go both physically and virtually (on the internet).

This information can be read by app manufacturers and also Google and Apple who then pass this information to various entities, that’s why there is a HUGE push towards ‘apps’, as your smartphone generates much more data (e.g. light conditions, barometric pressure, Satellite / telecommunication tower aided location just to name a few)  than a security conscious configured personal computer.

While this information gathering technique is old news, and literally stored since day one there is a new addition of parameters that is being used against you.

In the US the mainstream media has announced that Google already passes on user location information for governments to ascertain ‘social-distancing’ rules for whatever reasons.

Google has embedded a ‘feature’ into its proprietary version of Android, where its purpose is to track you more accurately via something called Wi-Fi scanning in addition to GPS and mobile tower triangulation data easily obtainable from your smart phone, which can then be passed on to whatever TLA (Three Letter Agency) asks for it, WITHOUT any warrant whatsoever.

In addition to this now many Bluetooth enabled apps require you to also enable location services for no technical reason for the accessory to function, but rather to track you more accurately.

As to whether the COVIDSafe app was created to gauge the herd population’s subservience is another matter altogether where there is ZERO technical reason for it to exist.

NOTE: The 'Australian Government' promised to release to source code to the app.
- Where is it?

Australia(n people),  you’ve been had BIG TIME !!! !!! !!!
