    I’m keen to find out how these laws work in collaboration with your other post on Māori getting endlessly stopped when leaving shops.

    I also love it when the government introduces laws to help certain groups (in this case retailers), when those same groups say it won’t help and they won’t use it. Sometimes I wonder if looking like they are doing something while doing nothing is this government’s MO.

      The way the law is written doesn’t mention retailers. It literally says anybody can arrest anybody who is breaking any criminal code.

      It’s bizarre.

      Destiny put out a statement they are going to start arresting people.
