The Govt and Police basically encouraged these illegal roadblocks during L4, so did we really expect they would magically disappear, never to return, once that was over? Precedent well and truly set, and now it appears DOC's playing the appeaser role. Will be interesting to see the (lack of) official response... |

While there may have been genuine intent during L4 the Government & Police by supporting these roadblocks/checkpoints have legitimized them so now the public of New Zealand can expect to see more of them popping up in the future for little to no reason behind them. I suppose you can call it power to the minority. |
