Ticket machine card fraud rise in EU
Italy Seizes Record Assets in Sicily - BBC
Italy seizes record assets in Sicily http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22017112
Check out the above link from the BBC.
This a record amount of money seized by Italys anti mafia police.These anti mafia police were the first ever created many countries have adopted or modeled the Italian's approach. These type of units has led to many countries ammending laws usually to empower these type of police forces. Laws such as granting them the ability to seize assets with out any charges being laid. Thy right to tap or evesdrop on suspects without warrants granted. NZ's equivelent here they are called OFCANZ.
So far our NZ version OFCANZ has seized in exccess of 30 million dollars from "people who had unexplained wealth".
Now the mafia who have been going a long time with an exstensive global network particulary in Europe and the USA. Naturally they must have so much unexplained wealth they must have thought they had to do something with it and they did, they gave it to this guy who seems to be the front man of what appears to be a mafia attempt at laundrying thier unexplained wealth.

Another Funny One - Cannabis Crimes
Teen dobs in parents over cannabis
Funny article again, this time about an 18 year old dobbin in their parents for growing cannabis. The 18 year old found the urgent need to call the police upon discovering two mature cannabis plants in the backyard of the parents home whilst visiting with friends. The parents who were absent are expected to answer questioning at the local police station no doubt charges pending. Again with the seasonal harvest for outdoor grown pot taking part at present time many parents up and down the country will be sitting nervously prunning their vegetable gardens avoiding all measures to get caught, this highlights the mistrust the 18 year old has in their parents. Cannabis should not be a crime A.C.A.B believes the laws should be changed and believes it can be manageable with education respobsibility and support. The problem the government cant ammend the laws to allow us to grow in our backyards for personal use as this is the obvious case here, why? Because they cant tax it like they do with alchahol and tobbacco.
The truth of the matter if they did make all drugs legal and taxed in a modern manner they would make not millions but billions. Cannabis is a manageable drug unlike alchahol a legal taxed parasite on our culture.

Grandma vs The Hells Angels
Now who of us would expect a shih-tzu terrier would be his undoing its sounds as though Mr and Mrs Skitzo really loved this dog and A.C.A.B thinks the Grandma liked the dog as well by the sounds of the story she didn't want to give it back, also of note when the Whanganui Chapter of the Hells Angels in NZ were making their appearances before the Whanganui District Council in regards to by laws they wished to pass regarding the bulldozing of their headquarters it was said in the newspaper article that their lawyer got up before the council and said they were "motorcycle enthusiasts who loved their mums and liked cats" A.C.A.B loves his mum and likes cats also. Now shih-tzu terriers loving their mums and liking cats are not what we hear everytime they the 81's when they are mentioned in the media its usualy warfare with rivals or over attention from the Police and A.C.A.B states that all we hear in the media isn't nesescarily true but even as he feels this should have been resolved with a more subtle approach and Skito must agree he at this very moment he must be cursing that damned dog he obviously loved it even if it did end this badly for him its great to hear these guys are normal and not the monsters the media typically protrays.

Latest Speeding Ticket
Stationary speed cameras are a major revenue for the NZ Government. Millions of dollars are paid towards fines every year. Police who issue the tickets maintain it is done in turn to keep the speed of motorists down. Research has proved this is somewhat flawed if it did have a high reduction in getting drivers speed down why do motorists spend millions of dollars on these type of offences. Another observation or question of mine with the ever increasing cost of registering a motor vehicle in NZ with the government saying it is needed for providing roads, ACC etc why does the millions in fines address this.
Myself or A.C.A.B hopes of no further tickets for at least another 18 months.

RWC Lions Cup Scandal Bouncer Charged
Expand This footage of Mike Tindall with the mystery blonde was leaked by Jonathan Dixon who has since been dismissed from his security job. Photo / SuppliedA nightclub bouncer who launched a royal storm of headlines around English captain Mike Tindall and his new wife Zara Phillips was charged by police last night for his role in releasing camera footage of the player cavorting with a blonde woman.
Dixon who sold the footage to Splash News Agency a Celebrity gossip tattle merchant sheds questionable behavior from newly married Tindall. Dixon who has also been sacked from his bouncer has voluntarily appeared at a Queenstown Police Station and left 45 minutes later. A Police spokesperson was reported to say "We can confirm that a man was spoken to in relation to a complaint about security footage made by the manager of a local bar. He came to the police station on a voluntary basis," .
There is a humorous refference to an NZ Herald article in which they interviewed his mother and she defends her sons morals and view points on infidelity. They have quoted her speaking about the Lions captain and his wife with "You expect them to have a little bit more respect for themselves, don't you? I think it's sad for her being on the other side of the world, men are men and they're pretty fickle, aren't they?"
Rugby and beer always go together hand in hand, an ale with a frothy head after a game of rugga will always be a right of passage for rugby players. Its a pity they let them selves down frequently whilst under the influence. The courts have had numerous assaults and also indescriminate behavior of rugby players behind their wives girlfriends or WAGS backs.
Spartar Security who managed the security at Altitude Bar the Queenstown Gin Joint where the CCTV footage was recorded has also lost its contract with Altitude Bar.

Three members of an Australian chapter were among 10 people arrested by armed police raids in New Plymouth. Police then went on to say “Garry Anthony Dewar, 39, a network operator for New Plymouth-based electricity lines company Powerco, is the Taranaki Rebels' president.”
Also reported through various news websites or feeds a high ranking Rebel gang member in Northland was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm
The operation is the second crackdown on the gang. The first operation was in February and resulted in more than 30 arrests across five North Island districts. A police spokeswoman said they knew of about 70 patched members throughout the country.
One interesting report that came from TVNZ was”Police also revealed that a live snake was found during an earlier crackdown on the outlaw bikie gang in February. Police said a snake was located at an address in Feilding, and detectives believe the Rebels smuggled it into New Zealand.”TVNZ This highlights the international link with this gang a vast majority of New Zealand based gangs don’t have this element or connection. OFCANZ and police have also through the media have given a message to recruits or prospective members they pledge their zero tolerance and future undivided attention. After this latest series of busts they appear to be determined to do their best to stamp the Rebels out.
