Police have no right to stop you without evidence of a crime committed

Tired of having posts removed, replies filtered out, and information hidden from you? This forum is censorship free, posts wont be hidden or removed by farcebook, politicians can't block you, and topics can be updated so information about any particular topic can stay on topic and be referred to, copied etc without being lost in a million other posts. The forum, hosting, domain and IT has been provided by Redback Graphics, who has for several years been supporting patriot groups, building websites at no charge or cost price (hosting, domain names, licensing of specialist software). Nearly every effort has collapsed for different reasons, the domain or hosting is left to expire and that valuable information has been lost. So this forum is a stayer, to hold and share important information, give people a safe and private place to discuss ways forward. Built and maintained by Redback Graphics For The People. There will be no political party sponsorship, no government interference, no censoring of information.

Police have no right to stop you without evidence of a crime committed

From the CIRNow website, link at bottom.

Police are bound by the same Commonwealth of Australia Laws as everyone else

See Section 109 in the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1901 that states:

109. When a law of a State is inconsistent with a law of the Commonwealth, the latter shall prevail, and the former shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be invalid.

Common Law and the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1901 guarantee the right of people to go about their lawful business unhindered by the police or anyone else as long as you are not suspected of committing a crime. Common Law is the highest law in the land and therefore all State laws must be consistent with Common Law.

The State Acts that the police act on to justify stopping drivers for a Random Breath Test (RBT) are inconsistent with the law of the Commonwealth and Common law.

Being pulled over for a Random Breath Test does not constitute a crime. Therefore, the police have no right to pull you over without due cause, or to make any demands on anyone going about their lawful business, as confirmed in these court decisions…
Regina v Banner (1970) VR 240 at p 249 – the Full Bench of the Northern Territory Supreme Court

“(Police officers) have no power whatever to arrest or detain a citizen for the purpose of questioning him or of facilitating their investigations. It matters not at all whether the questioning or the investigation is for the purpose of enabling them to ascertain whether he is the person guilty of a crime known to have been committed or is for the purpose of enabling them to discover whether a crime has or has not been committed. If the police do so act in purported exercise of such a power, their conduct is not only destructive of civil liberties but it is unlawful.”
Justice Stephen Kaye – Melbourne Supreme Court ruling – 25 November 2011

“It is an ancient principle of the Common Law that a person not under arrest has no obligation to stop for police or answer their questions. And there is no statute that removes that right. The conferring of such a power on a police officer would be a substantial detraction from the fundamental freedoms which have been guaranteed to the citizen by the Common Law for
centuries.”
Magistrate Duncan Reynolds – Melbourne – July 2013

“There is no common law power vested in police giving them the unfettered right to stop or detain a person and seek identification details. Nor, is s.59 of the (Road Safety) Act a statutory source of such power.”

NOTE: None of the above precedents have been overturned on appeal or in the High Court
