A federal MP said these animal activists had "no place in our society". Now four slaughterhouses in his electorate are under investigation for alleged animal cruelty.
This isn’t unique, hence ag gag laws. Go vegan, it’s actually really easy.
Eyewitness heresay is different law from video and audio recording. And if you began video recording in that scenario after you saw the illegal activity commence that would not be fishing so it is certainly admissable.
Audio recording laws interest me. In Queensland you can record without permission as long as you are one of the parties in the call.
In NSW you always need permission from all parties unless it is to protect your “lawful interests” (a phrase which confuses me).
Illegally obtained evidence can be admitted to court if it is decided that it’s more important that it be admitted than not. For example if I illegally record you admitting to being a serial killer to me, this is likely to be admitted since murdering lots of people is a much more serious crime than illegal recording.
