[QUOTE="Gold miner, post: 5494, member: 262"] Heg Dagmatic, Somewhat I agree. up here in FNQ, I put my Knife on my belt as I do with my mobile phone..EVERYDAY! I also have a 3 led torch on the belt, and an RMwiliams fob watch..... Police DO have a right to search, but recent cases have found that if proper process wasn't followed, evidence gained from an illegal search could be found inadmissable in a court of law. However, for some wally to want to search MY car, he/she would need to obtain a warrant. These are not hard to get, but pains 'them' to do so.... So THERE HAD BETTER BE A DAMN GOOD REASON!!!!! Normally, if you play by the rules....you would suffer no issues in this regard.... As far as I can see, NSW rules, say no knives, thats it....... But if you were in boagalonaboosh state forest or what ever, I think you would be approached be a copper that comes from the area.... He/she would understand your predicacment providing you dont use the wording 'self-defense' because that is specifically mentioned.....and you would be asked to move on..... [/QUOTE]
