Bardan Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 A blue costume and a magic ritual is what allows us to call kidnapping 'arrest', theft 'confiscation,' and other such magics.Archwizard Brownlee has had to cast a counter-spell to repair that magic ritual backwards in time and tells The Daily Prophet that this is a very annoying waste of Archwizardly time. But that it had to be done secretly and under urgency least somebody take advantage of a loophole in the magic ritual while the blue costumed ones were mere Muggles playing dress-up. The repair spell has now been cast. UPDATED 4:54pm: It's emerged police have made a blunder in the way they administer oaths to returning officers. Parliament is sitting under urgency to amend the Policing Act after 63 officers were sworn in incorrectly. The officers who returned between October 2009 and July 2013 were sworn in by District Commanders or Inspectors. That would have been fine under the Police Act 1958, but the 2008 Act states the oath can only be administered by the Commissioner or a person specifically authorised by the Commissioner. The botch up has earned police a telling off from Cabinet Minister Gerry Brownlee. http://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/auckland/news/nbpol/256881893-urgent-legislation-to-fix-police-oaths-botch-up
