it is more or less likely that cops want some media light and media wants to show some known faces getting busted , you won't stop drug abuse at a rave , to stop it you have cut of the supply and the supply which is mostly done with . dealers + cops+ politicians all working together, this is a huge pipeline of money which nobody is cutting off.
You're pretty much saying what I did
😀
you have some parts of U.S law right ,the fifth amendment or the bill of rights contains a lot of things but one part is, if you take the fifth you cannot be made to say or produce any evidence which would incriminate you.
Again, isn't that what I said?
MG what you are talking what is U.N's charter on human civil rights which nobody in this world gives flying frak about, Geneva convention applies to POW's and war crimes which again are pissed on everyday esp by U.S.
Well, maybe not in China, but most of the rest of the world gives half a damn. Unless it's a terror suspect, then they "deserve it", apparently.
But nevertheless, the U.N rules HAVE BEEN ADOPTED in local policy and so, even if nobody gives a toss about the UN charter, they should surely give a toss about the local law. Especially since they're supposed to be enforcing it and all.
and dude NZ govt and courts have bended and also oiled themselves for the Kim/
mega case , it is time you guys made some
noise about it or nobody is going to pay 10 mill for NZ citizenship and then have their rights taken away at the whim some of companies.
At first, yes, the court bent to the will of the US, however that was before anyone knew about the full extent of the case. Some Kiwis take it upon themselves to get educated on matters and none of us like being bullied by the USA. We told Bush to f* off on more than one occasion, but Obama apparently is just so damn charming

Kim Dotcom did NOT gain citizenship, only residency, although he now has a set of twins who are NZ citizens because they were born there, so yay for them. New Zealand does not limit the number of passports I can have (unlike countries like India and the USA, where you're only allowed the one unless you were born a dual citizen, but if you acquire citizenship by naturalization in certain countries you are required to relinquish any others you may possess), so he *could* apply for citizenship after a couple of years if he wanted to - assuming all the charges are cleared and stuff - and since his existing citizenships (German & Finnish) don't require relinquishing and also allow one to carry multiple passports then he could have all 3.
Basically, what he did was pay $10 million to avoid having to wait ~18 months or so - when you hit the high-investor status, it's granted (more or less) automatically.
But citizenship and residency are very different propositions, with different conditions and benefits.
For example, I am a resident of India, but I can't vote, and I'm not eligible for an Indian passport. I do have a special "foreigners passport" issued by the FRRO but that's just a residency certificate, not a travel document. I have a PAN card and am obliged to pay tax and am eligible for a drivers license. But not for a ration card (if I needed one I wouldn't be fulfilling my visa obligations anyway!) or a voters I.D.
On the other hand, I am a citizen of New Zealand, where I can vote (and I did at the consulate at BKC in November), but as I'm a resident of India, I'm not obliged to pay taxes in NZ on what I earn here (tax treaty), but I still have all the numbers, drivers license, passport etc.
My children, should I have any to an Indian woman, would be dual citizens of NZ and India, and would be allowed to carry both passports as I explained above.

The Police of this country sucks
I'm pretty much not a fan of any police anywhere in the world at the best of times. Of course, my opinion of Mumbai police is... well... lest I be kicked out of India for voicing my thoughts on them, I'll leave that to your imagination
