Australian teenager arrested for playing 'offensive' rap music from car

Should've been arrested for looking like a tit, not for playing crap music....

''A teenager has been arrested for listening to what police have deemed offensive rap music.

In what could be a legal test case, 19-year-old Nathan Michael Wilkie faces a charge of offensive behaviour after police arrested him when he was listening to music by underground rapper Kid Selzy on his car stereo.

Mr Wilkie was parked outside a Timboon supermarket, waiting for his mother, when he was arrested.

The Warrnambool Magistrates' Court heard he was listening to lyrics such as ''shut your f------ mouth bitch, f------ motherf-----''.

The court was told the arresting officers found the music offensive and derogatory to females. Mr Wilkie allegedly told officers: ''You're a joke, go do some real police work.''

The teenager is believed to be the first person charged under Australian law with offensive behaviour for listening to music. Through his lawyer, Amanda Chambers, Mr Wilkie plans to plead not guilty when his case continues on June 11.''

is that a bloke? this is somewhat redeeming, i feel like telling this to most cops > ''You're a joke, go do some real police work.''

I hope they interview him on A Current Affair and Max Marson takes him under his filthy wing and the kid does some DJing gigs in Warrnambool before the mob cottons on and chases him out of town. I'm pretty sure that's a picture of Karen O up top though. Man, I hate the fact that teenagers grow up.

Fuck, things must have changed in the Western districts.

When I was living there this kid would've been destroyed for rockin' this look.

Wish I was the publicist for the Kid Selzy tour.
They've just been handed a goldmine of free publicity.
Unfortunately, I've never even heard of Kid Selzy.
I suspect I don't need to, either.

njk  said about 2 years ago:

From herald sun:

The rapper said the case first came to his attention when Mr Wilkie's mother, Carolyn Wilkie, posted a message on his MySpace page.

''My son bought your CD ... from JB Hi-Fi and was playing it in his car,'' the message reads.

''Unfortunately he saw me (his mum) coming out of the local supermarket with shopping bags and left his car running and music playing to help me with my bags and the local cops pulled in.

''They stuck their head in his half-open window and were very offended by the lyrics of your CD.

''The end result is he has been served a summons for offensive behaviour for playing your CD, which they said was too loud and the lyrics offensive, especially to women.''


njk  said about 2 years ago:

So it was offensive inside the car?


missbhaviour  said about 2 years ago:

and this is gold

you have to agree he is cool come on danna, look at his tshirt


hillsonghoods  said about 2 years ago:

My (quite limited) impression of Queensland police is that they are more proactive than NSW police, and they seem more interested in whether behaviour is socially acceptable, or at least have a more limited definition of such. So this doesn't surprise me, but it's a bit silly really.


crackwhore  said about 2 years ago:

i must be getting old LP, i thought the police's job down the 'Bool was to beat these kids down not arrest them for listenening to shit music.....when did this change man?


EstuarineRepellent  said about 2 years ago:

Music.


LockingPlier  said about 2 years ago:

Cops in the 'Bool are usually too busy arresting people for pissing in a public place to worry about this.
