Yep I saw that story when we were down there. AFAIC they were bloody fools
taking a late model car into a known problem area, & bloody lucky to
get away with their lives. I'd love to see some idiot being charged with
incitment.

Honestly it's about as smart as standing on top of a hill during a lighting
storm, wearing copper armour, screaming "all the gods are
bastards".

Depends in what state you're in. It's a "state of confussion
here"... A bloke was found guilty in Toowoomba for carrying
"impliments for break & entering" namely a pair of sox.
Unfortunately it's one of the many loopy decissions made by a senile
magistrate here. I'm waiting for the first time that precident is used...

Others include 

        "Pocessing implements for taking drugs" a spoon [from a
kitchen draw
                 - _no_ testing was ever done on the spoon] & a 
                 lighter [she was a tobacco smoker].  

        Can't remember the charges, but the 14 girl screemed "Oink" 
                at a police car. The magistrate chastised the police 
                'cause he could think of many more things to charge her with.

But we all know the legal "system" here is stuffed....
