I do not condone the actions of the owner of the black 'line so if your reading this...pull your head in, there is a time and a place for this stuff and you got it wrong on both counts. If you are an SAUWA member and continue to exhibit this type of anti social behaviour you will have your membership discussed by the committee.
I'm little concerned that a police officer who purports to know the difference between SAU and SAUWA cannot discern the difference between a cruise organised by and for members and a cruise that is posted on an open forum, we cannot take responsibility for people who are SAU forum members who choose to act contrary to the law. I, like Dan, wish to continue the harmonious relationship with the WAPol; those of you who have read my post in the "more cruises" thread a few weeks ago in the SAU members area know my position on our relationship with the general public.
However, threats of excessive and abusive use of powers by those who have taken an oath to protect is not the way forward, attempting to ban cruises is ridiculous and smacks of a return to bad old "54B" days. Please bear in mind that while some of our members are young students and lower income earners, many of us hold respected positions in business and industry and any frivolous charge that casts an aspersion on our character is likely to be met with a vigorous and well funded defence.
Officer, if you are reading this please feel free to PM.
