Low kept complaining.

Mr Uhr, the Police Magistrate, has been distinguishing himself again. On Friday, the 20th August, at Peter Cardley's "Royal Hotel" he was drunk & struck an old gentleman, a Mr Henry, one of the pioneers & founders of Cloncurry, cutting his eye open; he then issued challenges to anyone in the room to take Mr Henry's part. He afterwards harangued the mob on the subject of the impartiality of his decisions from the bench, saying, "that we would all be sorry when poor old Uhr was gone."

Laws that silence victims of DV and SA in Queensland

The incredible Grace Tame recently did an interview on the podcast The Imperfects, and it reminded me all over again that we need to keep talking about this. Thank you, Grace! It may be 2024, but in Australia, most states and territories still do not allow victim-survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence to speak the truth. Vulnerable people are silenced by the very legal system that…

Jean-Louis Trintignant in Z (1969)

Dir.Costa-Gavras

In a mid-sized metropolis (population 500,000) in a right-wing military led country, a pacifist organization, which supports the opposition party in the government, is planning on holding an anti-military, nuclear disarmament rally. The organization's charismatic leader - the deputy - is scheduled to arrive in the town from the capital the day of the rally. Beyond the problems arranging the rally due to the probable incitement of violence at such a rally, the organization learns of an unconfirmed report that there will be an attempt on the deputy's life. The rally does happen, after which a three-wheeled kamikaze runs over the deputy, who eventually passes away from his injuries. The official report is that the incident was a drunken accident. In reality, the deputy's death was murder orchestrated by the secret police, the general for who likens the pacifist organization to mildew killing off agricultural crops. A magistrate is assigned to the case. Although he does have political views, he is more interested in finding out the truth, and as such has to wade through the political rhetoric and politically motivated testimony he hears. Thrown into the mix is a photojournalist who too is looking for the truth, as it, he believes, will make a great front page story.

"Un faussaire est envoyé au pénitencier," Le Soleil. May 8, 1943. Page 19. --- Chicoutimi - (D.N.C.) - Le juge Boivin a présidé un terme de la Cour du Magistrat et a prononce plusieurs condamnations variant entre un et six mois de prison pour vol et a également infligé des amendes considérables pour des infractions aux règlements de la Commission des Prix et du Commerce en temps de guerre.

M. le juge Boivin a condamné un étranger du nom de Joseph Rioux à trois ans de pénitencier pour obtention d'argent sous de faux prétexte. L'enquête dans cette affaire avait été conduite par la Sûreté Provinciale de Chicoutimi, qui retraça enfin le faussaire qui avait fait onze victimes. A la suite de nombreuses plaintes pour faux et emploi de faux documents dans le district de Chicoutimi, le constable Eudore Ouellet, officier de la patrouille de Chicoutimi, partit le 5 avril, d'après ce qui a été révélé à la Cour, pour se rendre à Sacré-Coeur, près de Tadoussac, où le faussaire était supposé se cacher sous le nom de Joseph Rioux.

Agissant sous les ordres du sergent Emile Moffet, l'agent Allard fit 150 milles de voiture dans des conditions plutôt difficiles, à cause de la tempète. Il courut le risque de traverser le Saguenay, de St- Etienne à Sacré-Coeur, à travers les glaces, dans un simple canot de toile. A Sacré-Coeur, les informations qu'il recueillit eurent pour effet de le conduire jusqu'à l'Anse Creuse, à plusieurs milles dans le bois, où il se rendit en raquettes jusqu'au camp du faussaire. En entrant dans le camp, le constable Allard se trouva tout à coup en face d'un homme solide recherché par la Sûreté Provinciale de Québec depuis deux ans, Allard ne prit pas de chance avec l'individu et l'arrêta à la pointe du revolver et lui passa les menottes.

Comme il a été révélé à la Cour. Rioux vivait dans la région depuis environ un an et se cachait dans les environs de Sacré-Coeur. De temps à autre, il se promettait un petit voyage à St-Fulgence, St-Felix-d'Otis, St-Etienne, Anse-St-Jean et aux alentours et se faisait passer pour l'acheteur de bois d'une grande compagnie de Québec. Si on lui vendait du bois il payait avec un chèque qu’il signait Joseph Rioux.

Le 27 avril, Rioux comparaissait devant M. le juge Boivin pour répondre à trois chefs d'accusation pour faux. L'accusé plaida coupable et fut condamné à 23 mois de prison. Le lendemain le prévenu comparaissait de nouveau devant le juge Boivin pour répondre à huit autres accusations de faux et emploi de faux documents. Il plaida également coupable et le juge le condamna à trois ans de pénitencier.

Le 30 avril. le sergent Emile Moffet transféra le prisonnier à Québec et le 1er mai, il comparais sait, sous le nom d'Alphonse Ouellet, devant le juge Laetare Roy à Québec pour répondre à l'accusation de faux et emploi de faux documents.

Le juge, ayant été mis au courant des condamnations antérieures reçues à Chicoutimi et considérant le passé de l'accusé qui avait déjà "pensionné" à plusieurs reprises au pénitencier, l'envoya au bagne pour un autre quinze ans.

Alphonse Ouellet, surnommé "Chapeau Blanc", s'était surtout servi, comme alias, des noms de Joseph Rioux. Jean-Baptiste LeBlanc. Jean Gauthier. Colon Ouellet, Léo Bernier, Léo Heppel, téo Bélanger. Léo Mathieu. David Thibault, Bob Thériault et quelques autres,

TIL the Australian guy that put on the single greatest piece of improv theater ever caught on camera during his wrongful arrest passed away this August from cancer.

For those who don't know: in 1991 an investigator who suspected this man of credit card fraud called the cops on him at the Chinese restaurant where he was dining with a friend. To expedite the arrest, he led the police to believe they were arresting a high profile criminal of some sort.

Police surrounded the restaurant, corralled the waiting media (who had somehow gotten wind), and interrupted Karlson's lunch.

"He was as calm as anything," former police detective Adam Firman says of the moment he arrested Karlson in the restaurant.

"He was happy to go with us. Well, as happy as you can be, to be arrested. Until he saw all the media. And that's when he just went berserk."

The lines Karlson delivered have since become classic quotes in internet culture.

"Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest!" Karlson declares to the cameras as he's wrestled into the police car.

...

"As soon as we drove away, he stopped and he said, 'That was fun,'" Firman says.

"There was no fight getting him out of the car. Nothing. It was all put on for the cameras."

The drama behind the rant

The Brisbane police who arrested him that day didn't know that Karlson had been a criminal and a serial prison escapee. He was also a part-time actor.

By the time he was 34, Karlson had spent most of his life in homes and prisons.

His first escape was in 1966. He was on a train going from Boggo Road Gaol to face a breaking, entering and stealing charge at Maryborough Magistrates Court. He got out of his handcuffs and jumped off.

Two years later, after he had been locked up in McLeod Prison Farm on Victoria's French Island for another theft, he convinced a local fisherman to give him a lift to the mainland.

Three months after that, he was picked up in a stolen car carrying safe-breaking tools in Parramatta. Just before his trial, he impersonated a detective and walked out of his court cell. Finally, he was captured in an apartment on Sydney's North Shore.

That's when his life took a dramatic left turn.

Sentenced to eight years in Parramatta Gaol, Karlson was put in an unusually large cell with an inmate named Jim McNeil.

This chance encounter would become destiny manifest.

McNeil had heard about Karlson impersonating a detective, and he thought it was hilarious.

He welcomed Karlson into his cell. The two men bonded over making foul-tasting alcohol in the cell's washbasin from raisins and yeast, and shared histories.

They had both grown up poor, even by the standards of their rough-and-tumble neighbourhoods. Adults had abused them physically and sexually. And they'd both stolen and scammed a few shillings for their families when they saw the chance.

After encouragement from Karlson, McNeil wrote a play about cellmates who brewed grog. They put it on in prison, and Karlson played a leading role.

Both had discovered talents they didn't know they had. McNeil kept writing on his smuggled typewriter, and Karlson kept acting. The plays became a hit among young Sydney intellectuals, many who had been campaigning for prisoners' rights.

Within four years, their work got them out on parole a combined 13 years early.

Best friends

Karlson and McNeil's friendship continued outside the prison gates and they moved into a house in Richmond together.

The two men stuck out like sore thumbs in their new-found scene of artists and intellectuals.

Neither man had set foot in a theatre, but McNeil's plays were already being performed across Australia. He felt that, with the success of his plays, he'd never need to resort to crime again. On radio and in the press, he would give didactic rants about the brutality of the justice system.

Karlson, meanwhile, got parts in the prime-time crime dramas Homicide and Matlock Police.

They remained close.

"The lovely bloke. I love him," McNeil told an interviewer around the same time Karlson named his son Jim McNeil Karlson.

Karlson described them as best friends.

But McNeil's alcoholism killed him in 1982.

Karlson couldn't travel to the funeral in Sydney for legal reasons.

"I … with a bodgie [fake identity], booked up hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of flowers and wreaths," he says.

Final days

McNeil's plays weren't subtle. They were screeds aimed at a society that arrested and tormented unfortunate men for petty crimes.

"The message is: look what you're doing to people," he told one interviewer.

He went on to tell a story about an Aboriginal cellmate. "He was illiterate, he was poor. He had nothing. And he stole thruppence ha'penny. And then he got three and a half years. That's a penny a year.

"Prison is the best way to show what's wrong with the outside."

His final play was about two cellmates in Parramatta. He named it 'Jack', and finished it in a drunken haze.

"Do you know I'm here?" shouts Jack the character. "Do you give a f*** where I am? No. No, you don't give a f*** where I am. Pricks. Democrats."

Fifteen years later, Jack Karlson declared "Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest!" to the waiting cameras and an enduring audience.

It would be his most unforgettable performance.

From 7news:

So how did Karlson improvise a performance so poetic, so theatrical and so amusing?

“Of course, I was somewhat influenced by the juice of the red grape."

Karlson spent his last years as a painter, incidentally selling many paintings of his own infamous arrest, and helping make a documentary about his life that's yet to be released. He died aged 82, surrounded by family and was widely mourned.

"Tata and farewell" legend. Hope the internet never forgets you. ACAB forever.

GEORGE HARRISON and PATTIE BOYD leave Kinfauns to go to the Walton and Esher Magistrates Court, March 18, 1969.

  She was at Kinfauns, their bungalow home in Esher, Surrey, playing genial hostess to a group of visitors from Scotland Yard’s drug squad. She recalled the events in her memoir Wonderful Tonight: ‘Suddenly I heard a lot of cars on the gravel in the drive – far too many for it to be just George. My first thought was that maybe Paul and Linda wanted to party after the wedding. Then the bell rang. I opened the door to find a policewoman and a dog standing outside. At that moment the back-doorbell rang and I thought, Oh, my God, this is so scary! I’m surrounded by police.

The man in charge introduced himself as Detective Sergeant Pilcher, from Scotland Yard, and handed me a piece of paper. I knew why he was there: he thought we had drugs, and he said he was going to search the house. In they came, about eight policemen through the front, another five or six through the back and there were more in the greenhouse. The policewoman said she would follow me while the others searched and didn’t let me out of her sight. I said, ‘Why are you doing this? We don’t have any drugs. I’m going to phone my husband.’ I rang George at Apple. ‘George, it’s your worst nightmare. Come home.’

The officers clearly thought the Harrisons would be at Paul’s wedding. The timing was not a coincidence. (...) Pilcher had already busted Mick Jagger, Brian Jones and Donovan, as well as Lennon and Yoko the previous year. National treasures or not, The Beatles were no longer protected from the law. - ‘And in the End: The Last Days of The Beatles’ Ken McNab

  I was with George in the office when that call came through. It was the end of a long day at Apple. Pattie rang and said, ‘They’re here – the law is here,’ and we knew what to do by then. We phoned Release’s lawyer, Martin Polden. We had a routine: he came round to Apple, and we all went down by limousine to Esher, where the police were well ensconced by then – and I stood bail for George and Pattie. They went off to the police station. We were all extremely indignant because it was the day of Paul’s wedding, a poor way to celebrate it. The police can be so nice.

George was calm about it. George is always calm – he sometimes gets a grump, but he’s always calm – and he was extremely calm that night, and very, very indignant. He went into the house and looked around at all these men and one woman, and said something like. ‘Birds have nests and animals have holes, but man has nowhere to lay his head.’ – ‘Oh, really, sir? Sorry to tell you we have to…’ and then into the police routine.

That’s how calm and how cross he was, because, as he said, he kept his dope in the box where dope went, and his joss sticks went in the joss stick box. He was a man who ran an orderly late-Sixties household, with beautiful things and some nice stuff to smoke.

 In my opinion he didn’t have to be busted because he was doing nobody any harm. I still believe what they did was an intrusion into personal life. - Derek Taylor in ‘The Beatles Anthology’
