THE COMPLAINT
The officer in question (along with approximately nine other officers) acted without authority in seizing two Personal Computers, Federal Tax Documents and a USB Memory Device.

Further: According to the booklet “Welcome to South Australia” by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship, police “do not play a part in politics.” As I disagree with many of the policies of the state government, I describe myself as a Political Dissenter. Seizure of property for political dissention appears to be the case in this instance as the officer in question does not approve of my dissent.

I have also been informed by a former police officer that Detective Senior Constable Minchenberg maybe Jewish, and if so, his actions may have been racially motivated -Which in itself is a breach of the SA Racial Vilification Act.

Finally: No criminal or civil charges were ever made against me. All items were returned in January of this year – Almost two years after the fact.
