Yep.
Tell ya what I,ll bet TimC a tenner that face to face I can get him to
step back .. just using my voice. He can bet me the same $10 that I
dont step back when he ding dings me. (After his ears stop bleeding) A
magistrate with any brains (yeah it aint all of them.. is that
aboriginal woman still on the bench?) is gunna say "Guilty..no
conviction recorded" And most cops know it. And would seriously cop
**** from their mates after.
David who beat a conviction in pyalong for u turning over double white
