Now, I've got a huge amount of respect for the police, and I very much, almost weakly appreciate what it is that they do for us, but I think we have to call it. Tom Phillips is embarrassing them. I mean, the fact that he is still out there with his kids coming up 4 years now is embarrassing for the police because it looks like they're having rings run around them by a skinny guy from Mara Koppa. He makes a mockery of them every single time he pops up to nick milk from a dairy or shop in full view of

Waikato University Law Professor Al Gillespie says the judge interpreted the law fairly. He says the law is ambiguous as it doesn't say the patch must be destroyed. Gillespie says the law will need to be straightened out back in parliament. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
