According to The Age, a university student is suing Yarra Trams, alleging that he was forcibly pinned down by multiple ticket inspectors. One ticket inspector allegedly pressed their knee into his throat in an effort to detain him. We discuss what is, and isn’t, reasonable force, and at what point force becomes excessive.

A woman’s car was written-off on the Tullamarine Freeway recently when the driver became an unknowing participant in a police road block. In an effort to stop an allegedly stolen motor vehicle, police stopped traffic on the freeway, resulting in damage to the woman’s car. Victoria Police says it will not pay for the damage, because a police vehicle was not involved. David and Ron discuss who’s to blame, and what the law says about compensation for property damage.

And Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton has been caught speeding. A fixed camera on the Peninsula Link Freeway photographed Mr Ashton travelling at 108 km/h in a 100 km/h zone. The Chief says he was off-duty at the time and he’ll pay the fine, in addition to making a voluntary donation to Road Trauma Support Services. David thinks this is woefully inadequate. Ron explains what happens when police, whilst on-duty, get photographed driving a police vehicle by red light cameras and speed cameras.
