Hi Amanda, I'm in Qld and was arrested by a local Police officer. On Fri. I was at home having a few drinks. At about 11 pm I insisted that my 8 yo son go to bed and took the TV remote from him and turned off the TV. I put him in bed whereupon he said to me "Dad, you're being naughty and I'm going to tell the police on you".
So I smiled to myself and went and got the phone for him. To my horror he promptly dialled 000. Shocked, I took the phone from him and hung up. My son then complained bitterly to me so I proceeded to hand him the phone again to teach him a lesson warning him that making a frivolous call to emergency services was against the law and that he may be the one getting into trouble. I then watched him make the call and when he finished telling to man that his Dad was being mean to him I took the phone apologised to the operator and that I hoped to teach him a lesson about emergency phone calls. I hung the phone up and gave my son a stern explanation of why he was wrong to do that. Within 15 min.
My son was safely tucked away in bed and sound asleep. I poured myself another glass of wine continued surfing the internet. 45 minutes later two police officers turned up and entered my home. I woke up my sleeping wife and son and said something like now see what you've done". One officer started to speak to my son and the other directed me outside, then straight up the garden path and out the gate over to the police van. Standing behind me, he me by the wrist and said,"I am now directing you to place your hands behind your back."
I raised my hands above my head, turned to my left, and began to say "Hey, what do you think you're doing." By which time I found myself face planted on the road. The officer having said "I'm arresting you for obstructing a police officer in the course of his duties." There's a lot more that transpired later but that's the gist of the arrest.
