    Will be interesting how this plays out there are multiple possible charges impersonating a police officer fraudulent use of a document unlawfull possession of a firearm issueing a false statement possibly others. Considering the possible outcomes could she be deported to SA?

    It appears the form never went to the police, if it had they would have found she didn't have a licence.

    It appears she filled out the police part of the form, which is quite a serious matter apparently.

    As we all know, (or should do) these apparent flagrant criminal acts by Heather du Plessis-Allan were not done in the best interests of the public at all, rather, the public will have their best interests served by her prosecution if these crimes are proved.

    According to her husband (Soper) it appears that they were advised yesterday by the Police that a search warrant would be served today. "Hello? Mr Escobar, this is a courtesy call to advise you that we will be searching your home for drugs and other incriminating evidence tomorrow morning. Yes Mr Escobar, that is my account number. Thank you for your co-operation!" What a fecking joke!

    I thought it funny the camera shot was going through her paper receipts - Hang on wasn't this a online / mail order transaction? wouldn't all the incriminating document altering stuff be on the computers and be images printed off to be provided?

    Maybe they are old school with their forgeries... but it looked like the boys in blue are still looking for the carbon copies... Don't get it??

    They were looking for samples of her hand writing CD. So that they could prove it was her that filled out he form.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Gotcha - I guess I just thought Microsoft would have multiple saved copies of the document as it was altered and printed off would be enough to point the finger, but - yes you're right boys... first to prove its her writing - but if it was me wouldn't you get someone like a intern to do that for you... 'cos she and Duncan were laughing about it (in another un related situation) just the other day on the radio that you "always blame the intern for this kind of stuff" - Its never you ! so maybe a little trip into the office wouldn't hurt too?

    The way her hubby & a few friendly MP's are banging on about it in the media, I think she realises that a conviction might be rather inconvenient & being a journalist isn't going to get her a pass.

    You and I would probably loose our jobs mate....fit and proper, loss of security clearance etc., the Feds could make it as ugly as they wanted to for somebody without a media profile.

    Assuming that charges will be made against Heather, there is an opportunity here for the Court to make a real statement. Send her arse to prison I say.
