Questioning the police

 Keith Locke's not afraid to put the police on the stand and ask that they answer some questions over their behaviour during the Tuhoe raids. Keith asks what I too consider, good, relevant questions:

• How the Police made the mistake of resorting to anti-terror legislation to justify their actions.
• Why the Police didn’t engage in normal policing and question the activists they suspected, rather than initiating what may be the biggest surveillance operation in Police history.
• Why the Police engaged in practices that intimidated the whole Ruatoki community and badly affected relations between Tuhoe and the Police.
• Why the Police did not drop charges against many of the defendants at an earlier stage.
