Update:
Not this time it would seem, but some definitely suspicious activity, country wide, has emerged and been nipped in the bud.
Yet again the 'we have our own laws' brigade is out in force.
Rotorua lawyer Annette Sykes said this morning's raids were "overkill" and likened them to "the invasions last century".
"A lot of people had their homes entered this morning," she said.
Ms Sykes said she could not understand why police were using the Suppression of Terrorism Act to conduct the raids.
"They've screwed the people everywhere," she said.
Seems that the participants were various groups, each with their own agendas for change by force, but possibly acting with co-ordination to cause maximum disruption.
The Police Commissioner even got in with a live nation-wide statement after keeping H1 in touch with the state of play.
Mr Broad said that police were acting on information that over 2006/2007 a number of people had been conducting and participating in training camps in the eastern Bay of Plenty involving the use of firearms and other weapons."Based on the information and the activity known to have taken place, I decided it was prudent that action should be taken in the interests of public safety."
Maybe Ms Sykes, that is possibly why your clients are about to be screwed under the Terrorism Suppression Act. Could I suggest that this is a whole new game of sinister proportions?
