The BFD Video: NZ Policeman on the Line that Borders Freedom of Speech & an Offence

I watched the video and the focus was on the person offending people. Apparently, he had written something along the lines of stating that certain members of parliament should be hung from a tree.

If he had incited violence in what he said he would have broken the law. In this video however, he was told that offending people “borders on the line between freedom of speech and an offence and he will be arrested” if he says anything in the future that they deem to be on that border. The policeman does not explain or made clear in any way what that border is.

If you have a great Youtube or Vimeo video to share send it to videos@thebfd.co.nz
