Current Events > Law and order at work - anti-terrorism police called on journalist for

(+) Yeah! (+)

...trying to give a politician, who was suing his employer, an incorrect legal document for him to correct after running into him in the wild.

FriendlyJordies takes the piss, sure, but watching the arrest of his employee Kristo by armed plain-clothes officers, who bowl his 50 year old mother over to get Kristo's phone and pull him into an unmarked police car, is beyond disproportionate.

Theyre not the police

Politicians have employers?

They came to his house, arrested him, kept him detained at a police station for the maximum amount of time they could without pressing charges and eventually let him off on bail.

The actual uniformed police, according to Kristo, were actually decent to him. They had to sit around with their thumbs up their ass on a Friday night before letting him go.

Why was an anti-terrorism squad called on a small-time journalist for what one of the most powerful men in the country calls "harassment"? No threats or physical violence mind you - especially in the second incident, where Kristo happened to run into the Deputy Premier on his way back from class at university and tried to hand him a legal document that the Deputy Premier had messed up.

Why did the person who filed a police report in regards to one of these incidents, almost certainly the Deputy Premier himself, lie or otherwise exaggerate claims in a police report that preceded this arrest?

How was this terror-related?

The YouTuber/journalist FriendlyJordies, the person narrating this video, employs Kristo. He has a small team who helps him film, fields his calls and engage in hijinx with him.

The politician is suing Kristo's employer. Sorry for the confusion.
