172 The Police Interview - Part 4 (1/2)

Wednesday, continued …

With that answer Inspector Gang, had a smirk, as he seemed to believe that he had the evidence to prove that Anna had stolen the laptop.

”Miss Jones.I have a copy of legitimately issued consent orders, from the Australian Family Law Courts which, based on the evidence I have, were signed by you.In those orders, you agreed that any laptop in your possession, regardless of its underlying ownership, on the breakdown of your relationship with Mr Lu Jinhu was his.Your refusal, to hand over the laptop deprived Mr Lu Jinhu of his legitimate property.Under the laws here, you have admitted to theft.”

”I have not.And I am now going to give you a little education as to the Australian Law that you are relying on.”

”Australian Law does not matter.The law here says that those orders are enforceable as soon as they are made, so as I have said, your refusal to hand over the laptop that the orders deem to be Mr Lu Jinhu's property is theft as you have deprived him of his legitimate property.”

”If you want to use those orders to say that I am guilty of theft, you need to understand Australian Law.”

”As I said, I do not need to listen to you.Australian Law has no applicability here.”

”Well I am going to say what I need to say, unless you want to come out, when I supply all the documents that will make this allegation …”

”Miss Jones, watch your mouth.It is not an allegation, it is a proven fact.”

”OK well, if you want to call it a 'proven fact' you can, I simply will refer to it as the statement.”

By now Anna realised how much she was enjoying this sparing with the police.For her the best thing was that she was doing nothing that stating the complete truth, and Inspector Gang was so stupid enough to recognise that he has been played.

”You cannot refer to it as anything other than the proven fact.You have admitted that you did not hand over the laptop to, its owner under Australian Law, which is theft here.”
