White SA couple falsely arrested for 'urinating in public' - July 20 2013 - ALBERTON. Andre Snyman owner of Eblockwatch writes that 'a member's son and his girlfriend illegally arrested by Alberton SAPS 'for urinating in public'. The video shows that 'the cop was weeing on the wall...' Andre Snyman also reports that 'the video footage shows that this was not the case.' He adds: " The two video clips indicate that there also were justifiable resistance to being arrested (by the couple)."Lukas writes" "The claim of urinating in public was never a charge on the charge sheet. Secondly the police officer who said she had proof of the incident, produces a wet spot on a smooth yellow wall. "The wall in the back of the video is a Tuscany greenish wall. It made us wonder what the motive was and why the police would allow someone to do his business and then arrive to arrest him. "Secondly. a round wet spot on a wall? If the person urinated against it the pattern should be different.. This seemed to be fabricated evidence. "Interestingly, the charge of urinating in public was only mentioned on the video, never again in any charge sheet (by the arresting police).Lukas, the father, writes: "We have the interesting scenario that someone is arrested for resisting arrest on a charge that was never brought up? "Does this mean that police officers may arrest people at will and then if you reasonably resist, get arrested because you resist the arrest?"I did not hear one word of abuse on the video. The charge is crimea injuria?"My daughter was arrested for taking the video under the auspices she was "interfering in police work." Somebody needs to police the police. "If they did everything right, why arrest her for interfering by filming the "arrest"? If they (the police) were doing everything perfect, the video should show that."This episode cost me 22 hours of my time and the legal fees. Is this fair given the competency levels observed? Andre Snyman of eblockwatch writes: "While we wait google Drop box. This is what we use when we ask members to record arrests. This get the recorded arrest out of the phone and onto a server. The police can not force our members to delete the footage." Rudy Buys writes: " It (urinating in public) falls under public indecency. According to the Jhb Bylaws they can only fine you, but according to SA Law you may be arrested and charged."
