More Guns For New Zealand Police?: Part 2:


Radio New Zealand reported (Friday 24th Oct) that a criminal defence lawyer Marie Dyhrberg is warning that if all our NZ police are armed - more criminals (her customers) will start carrying guns.

Criminal Defence Lawyer MARIE DYHRBERG.
 
Marie Dyhrberg has campaigned for years against officers carrying tasers - and is on a consultative body with police on the use of force.

She is quoted as saying: " In my view it's going to increase the danger and ultimate safety of police officers and members of the public if all officers and frontline are going to be armed because the natural response to that is going to be that the criminals are going to be armed as well."

Greg O'Conner - President of The Police Association stated that nine police officers have been shot in New Zealand in eighteen months.

 - This surely indicates that the criminals are already carrying more illegal guns - assuring criminal defence lawyers of an ongoing and lucrative professional career.

This is New Zealand.
