In Response to Rons original message. This follows a recent case where a woman wearing a burqa was stopped by a LEO and given a traffic infringement notice. She then laid a complaint the officer had insulted and offended ( racially and religiously vilified ) her by trying to to rip her veil off. (dumb move) She was prosecuted for making a false complaint and perjury when she persisted at court, and the video from the dash cam she was not aware of, became her undoing. Unfortunately, her switched on scum sucker, had her beat the charges as the prosecution were then unable to positively identify the person in court as the burqa wearing woman in the video who was issued the original infringement notice, nor as the woman who made the complaint. ( I not sure how you guys can tell, but to me one burqa looks like another ) It also follows a trend around the country in some areas to attempt to add a ban of wearing of burqas in shopping malls and banks etc, the same as it applies to the ban on wearing full face motorcycle helmets etc. There is also a movement here at the moment allowing the imposition of sharia law among and on the muslim population by their own, ignoring the national and state legal systems. This has started quite a fair amount of public debate.
