QLD Criminal Law - What Would Warrant a Visit to Arrest Court?

[Concerned123]

Hi,

What would warrant a visit to an Arrest Court under criminal law?

 

[Lance]

The Magistrate would deal with criminal offences called summary offences such as:

• Drugs and breaking the law
• Shoplifting, not paying and property damage
• Breaking the law in a public place
• Out-of-control events
• Graffiti
• Stalking
• Perjury
• Personal safety
• Criminal trespass
• Participating in a criminal organisation
• Criminal offences and mental health

This is a bizarre list to say the least... "drugs and breaking the law, criminal offences?" lol.

I've never heard of the offences "out of control events", "personal safety" or "mental health" either.

OK...That's nice, but 'personal safety' and 'mental health' are not criminal offences.
