Is this a Brexit fallout, or were you born this way?
Megan Sarah Louise Walton, 27, of no fixed address, appeared in Hamilton District Court on Monday and pleaded guilty to behaving in an insulting manner that was likely to cause violence and to two charges of common assault.
She was bailed after appearing in the Hamilton District Court on Monday to reappear in court today to confirm a bail address. Outside the court, she gave waiting reporters a one finger salute.
The judge has ordered a Section 38 psychiatric report prior to sentencing on 11 April.

Phenomenal Police Incompetence/Institutional Corruption
“Human error” sees police waste thousands of dollars “unintentionally” firing Tasers
Police confirmed that between July 1, 2010, and October 31, 2016, there were 504 unintentional discharges of a Taser costing taxpayers $50 for each cartridge, or $25,000 worth. http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/89379727/human-error-sees-police-waste-thousands-of-dollars-unintentionally-firing-tasers
