They then accused the officer of trespassing on their property and said they planned to "go after" him personally.Lake Illawarra Police said it was the third time the couple had refused to comply with officers since they returned from Victoria with their two children earlier this month.Police alleged the couple breached the public health order by leaving their home on several occasions during the mandatory self-isolation period.
police and government found new ways to earn money in a COVID strapped economy.
“They then accused the officer of trespassing on their property” These Facebook legal degrees really are working out for people.
Bad luck
It’s only money !
Why not ‘detain and pepper spray’ like Black Lives Matter protesters doing nothing wrong? Tear Gas the Double Bay Children and bash their Psychopathic dads until they are dead?
Good job
Amazing how the government worked out how to monetize a pandemic to make money off the people that pay the taxes that pay the wages to those that are telling us what we can and can’t do. They work for us, don’t forget it.
WTF- 1000 x 2 = $2000 Who is doing your Maths 🤔
ahh, fascism and tyranny all to protect us from a virus with a 99+survival rate which is less deadly to healthy people under 60 than influenza...makes sense
OUTSTANDING
'the law' and comments quoting it appear to forget that unless an attending police officer is in possession of a duly authorised warrant, the occupants are in no legal obligation to open their door and failure to leave the property when so instructed is trespassing.
✅
Selfish people made the situation become worse and worse.
sending cops checking on quarantine is over the topo
Unless penalties are more severe and actually enforced, these idiots will continue to brazenly ignore the law and put themselves and others at risk. COVIDIOTS
Will be interesting to see how their Google law degree holds up in court.
Aaaaaaaahaaahaaaahahahaha. Please keep us updated on their plight through the courts and how their business card collection goes.
And what about the No Lives Matter mongrels?
Hallelujah!!

How US destroyed itself during COVID-19 pandemicHow did it come to this? Over four million cases. A skyrocketing death toll. This is why things went so horribly wrong in the United States. Gavin Desmond is wrong, antifart is responsible, Thanks media bias. So no mention of the Nursing Home deaths? Of the mass protests and riots and general anarchy in parts of the US during the pandemic? And this is why people don’t trust the media. shutdown lowered pollution/toxin levels..notice how it hits in the more industrialized states and after floods etc disperse more toxins,which is rarely even thought about but is known,or was anyway,that toxins lower immune function greatly

Surely stage 4 has to be put in place. People aren’t taking stage 3 seriously enough I hope shows Daniel Andrews' face on every story you run when Victoria recovers from the current crisis? Your anti-Andrews bias is ridiculous! this is the backlog of test cases from weeks ago & weeks old interstate lab test results being added to daily totals.
