Roadblocks - Know Your Rights!
The traffic/metro police are doing random roadblock checks. They will also feed your registration into a computer that will show up if you have any outstanding fines.
Know your rights.
They can only arrest you if:
1. They have the original warrant for your arrest there with them. A copy isn't good enough, saying it's at the station isn't good enough either. They have to show it to you there and then (if they have it, check plan "b").
2. They have to prove that you received the summons in person. It either had to be delivered to you in person or you had to collect a registered letter from the post office (if they cannot prove you personally received the relevant summons, the warrant of arrest is not legal either).
3. If you do get stopped and they want to arrest you, demand to see the warrant and proof you received the summons (i.e. your own signature on the document when delivered to you).
4. If they don't have it, the arrest is illegal. Refuse to go. If they still arrest you inform them there and then you will press charges against them for illegal arrest (record everything that is said to you, as well as the
chronological procedure of events in detail). These details may well stand you in good stead for a strong case.
5. Technically, if your arrest is illegal, the taking possession of your car by the police and its driving thereof while you are in custody may also constitute theft.
6. When you are released, go to the SAPS immediately and lay a charge against the arresting law body and relevant official.

Superb Place to be...
Can you believe that KZN is snow bound, heavy rain in Durban and along the coast. The Eastern Cape is freezing and our beloved Cape Town basks in superb summery weather... talk about Blessed!

So I guess she knows what she wants in life..
My daughter Samantha has had an Au Pair job for a while, a family that used to live in De Wijnlanden, but moved to Somerset West about 18 months ago. The family do not have a television, they are very "outdoorsy" type people and Sam always has the most beautiful stories to tell us about how entrepeneurial these little ones are and how amazing and good they are. Well today Sam sent me a link to the one childs blog and I felt it worthy of sharing, as I am sure there are some children who will really enjoy reading her blog. Please follow the link http://www.jeandorsyland.blogspot.com/ and let me know what you think.
If you have something to share, please do, I think that it can be a lesson for us all.
