The appeals court also found the magistrate made an error of law by finding the offence occurred “at night”, which is considered an aggravating factor in the offence. The offence occurred at 8.35pm. Under the statutory definition used in such cases, “night” begins at 9pm.
So an aggravated… non-offence? As the police weren’t exercising an actual power or acting on a reasonable suspicion when they decided to stop the vehicle.
These clowns should be sacked, especially the Magistrate.
This whole case is weird.
