Hello Mike,
There is another reason why Brigadier Brian Wade AM (Ret'd) and others are
wrong.
The reason is that it is a fundamental principle of criminal law that if
there is an ambiguity, the ambiguity is interpreted in favour of the
defendant. So if there were an ambiguity in a regulation about whether or
not oxygen is required at a certain height, the result is that it is not
required.
This is a crystal-clear example of why policing should be left to people
with legal training - policemen and the Courts. Club officials should not
usurp that role. In our sporting clubs we need sportsmen who know the sport
and can pass their knowledge and enthusiasm to others. It would be a sad
day if legal training became a necessity for officials of sporting clubs,
and we who belong to sporting clubs should ensure that this does not happen.
Leave policing to professional policemen.
Cheers,
Boyd
