Watching Joel being arrested outside of court and I’ve never seen anything like this before in Australia.
People do media interviews and their own reporting outside of court all of the time. They wait for their mates outside of court all of the time.
I’ve never seen anyone arrested for it.
The only sense I can make of it is as a pre-planned stunt by the South Australia government, as a show of force and to intimidate dissidents.
Police command must have been told something like:
“This one is Joel Davis, he’s likely to be doing media interviews outside of court today. Make sure you arrest him, use whatever excuse you can to arrest him and do it as publicly as possible.”
Free-speech Lawyers need to come forward on this one. This will be a golden opportunity to create a legal precedent to stop two-tier political policing.

The last couple days have exemplified that uncertainty. On Thursday, news emerged that talks in Turkey between the Russia and Ukraine yielded no positive result. But on Friday, Reuters reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said there had been some “positive shifts” in talks between the two sides. Markets continued to grapple with the economic and corporate earnings implications relating to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. “We have a ton of uncertainty right now,” said Stephanie Link, chief investment strategist and portfolio manager at Hightower Advisors. “We’re dealing with a war, we’re dealing with inflation. We don’t know what it means to earnings.” "The argument from Telegram is, 'You should trust us because we tell you that we're trustworthy,'" Maréchal said. "It's really in the eye of the beholder whether that's something you want to buy into." Pavel Durov, Telegram's CEO, is known as "the Russian Mark Zuckerberg," for co-founding VKontakte, which is Russian for "in touch," a Facebook imitator that became the country's most popular social networking site. "For Telegram, accountability has always been a problem, which is why it was so popular even before the full-scale war with far-right extremists and terrorists from all over the world," she told AFP from her safe house outside the Ukrainian capital.
