Did people meet annoyance like this when involved with Collins submarine software?
Renee Eaves sued the officer and the police service, and represented herself in court.
After an eight year battle she's won more than $90,000 in compensation.
Eaves is a bikini model, turned detective, turned lawyer, and she’s left the Queensland police force red faced.
And Barry Donnelly is the ex-cop and alleged stalker, who’s cost tax payers tens of thousands of dollars.
Donnelly was a Brisbane traffic cop who’s reach went far beyond law enforcement.
“He would ring my intercom downstairs in the apartment I resided in at the time, and neighbours would text me or call me and say ‘Barry's down here, don't come down’,” Eaves said. “He'd follow me around the city if I was in the Queen Street mall.”
As owner of Flirt Entertainment, a female dance troupe, Eaves’ distinctive car was hard to miss.
Donnelly's infatuation allegedly first began in 2004 when he pulled Eaves over for a minor traffic offence. She says he kept her waiting in her car for more than an hour, and admits she became abusive.
“I gave him a lot of attitude,” Eaves said.
In return Donnelly paid her a lot of attention, pulling her over another seventeen times, once as a passenger for having a twisted seat belt
By now the mother of two was convinced his actions were not just outside the bounds of duty, but well and truly out of line.
The obsessive behaviour came to a head when Donnelly dragged Eaves from her home and into the Roma St watch house, accused of driving while disqualified.
“He slapped some handcuffs on me and dragged me down through the elevator, through the foyer, past all the people dining.”
Eaves then spent two and a half hours in a cell, sick and four months pregnant.
“I kept reiterating to him that I was pregnant and I really needed rehydration, and he just paid no attention to that whatsoever, he'd roll his eyes and just laugh.”
That was in March 2006. A magistrate found her not guilty of the charge, and so began Eaves’ battle for justice - determined to sue Donnelly and the Queensland police force for $200,000 in damages for wrongful arrest, harassment and intimidation.
“If I win, I'll be lucky to cover my legals,” she said. “This isn't about the money because the money is going to be chewed up.”
Civil liberties lawyer Terry O'gorman says “the police hate having to pay out money in court-ordered damages awards.”
“Here you have in effect a David and Goliath situation. David - in the form of this model, has taken on Goliath and won, and we say to people ‘don't sit back and take cops abusing their powers, stand up for your rights’.”
To sue Donnelly, Eaves had to first serve him with a statement of claim. The Queensland police told her he'd gone missing, so she went looking for herself. She hired a private investigator and found him in just one day.
“When you go after the cop, you don't just go after the cop you know. It's big and it's scary,” Eaves said.
Against all the might of a government legal team, Eaves represented herself during civil proceedings at the district court in Brisbane last month. After eight years, and at the end of a four day civil trial, the model was vindicated and awarded $93,000 in damages, plus costs.
“You couldn't even put into words what they've put me through. It's been an absolute circus,” she said.
“If I can stop one other person from being put through what he put me through, it's worth it.”
She was more determined and more fortunate than most people as it is very hard to win against the cops with all the backup that they have. You are correct to say that those involved with the Collins Sub software also had a hard time but nevertheless the Collins is an exceptionally good sub though if a person only read the tabloid press he would not think so. Now the Govt. is planning a replacement for the Collins , designed in Australia and possibly built in Adelaide.

Speeding ticket in Illinois with Texas license?
This morning I was caught doing a 78 on a 55 mph highway. I got 3 tickets:
1. Speeding; 78 on 55 mph.
2. No proof of insurance.
3. No valid driver's license.
Now here are my specifics:
1. I am a software consultant and moved to Illinois only in Aug 2010.
2. I have a valid Texas driver license.
3. I also was insured at the time when the citation was issued; just didn't have a copy at that time (now I do).
4. The car I was driving was brought in Illinois in Aug and is registered to me in Illinois.
While the traffic cop told me that I could get the insurance citation cleared out by just presenting a proof of insurance, he did mark me for a court visit (on May 17th) for all the citations. I am especially worried about not having the Illinois license. There are several questions in my mind:
1. Does this citation amount to a misdemeanor/felony (for which one could be fined upto $2500 and/or jailed for up to 364 days) ?
2. Can I drive with my Texas license now (is it suspended/cancelled? if so, how can I find out) ? (The officer asked me not to drive with that license).
3. Can I choose to apply for a Illinois license now ?
4. Is there anyway I could circumvent the speeding ticket ? (by attending a driving school etc)
I spoke to a lawyer this afternoon and he said that I could continue to drive (cautiously, of course) with the Texas license. He also said that this offense could be a Class A misdemeanor which would end up with a hefty penalty of 2500 and/or jail sentence. Somehow I just do not find his statement logical. Especially after I read on another lawyer's blog that this offense is considered a petty offense and it does not carry a jail term and the fine cannot exceed $500.
Please advise quickly.
Go to the secretary of state's office for Illinois and get your Illinois license if your Texas is not actually suspended, take it and the proof of insurance to the court and you will only have to pay a fine, a misdemeanor is a petty offense so the lawyer was telling correct about that but your offenses are all traffic and not criminal so the judge should let you off on the license and the insurance but you will have to pay the speeding.}{
Indiana Driver's License caught speeding in Illinois, what's the deal?
So I moved into Illinois around 6 months ago, back in August. I had an Indiana driver's license back then. In October, while still holding my Indiana driver's license, I was caught speeding in Illinois, 65 on a 45, and got a speeding ticket of $75. I was told by the cop that I should get my Illinois driver's license asap and that I can choose to get rid of the ticket by doing traffic school. So I did: I mailed in my traffic school registration, paid my ticket, and then switched to the Illinois driver's license a week later. However, since I decided to do traffic school in another location (I was caught in Rock Valley but I live in the Chicago suburbs...), I had to re-register for traffic school in Cook County, where I used my Illinois driver's license number. So upon completing traffic school I mailed in my certificate of completion to Rock Valley and I assumed my record to be clear. Cool.
Yesterday, I was caught speeding again.... 45 on a 30, during a 5 minute drive to Wal-Mart. $75 again. "Sh*t, I'm screwed", I thought. Well, Illinois has not been very welcoming. Anyway, since I already did traffic school, I assumed I can't do it again since a year hasn't passed. So I signed the conviction box and mailed out my payment yesterday. But now that I think about it, since I got caught speeding last time when I was still holding my Indiana driver's license, does that grant me another chance for Court Supervision i.e. traffic school? If so, I guess I'll take the conviction this time (guess it's too late for traffic school, since I already mailed my payment yesterday...) but use Court Supervision should I get caught again.
Anyone knows how things work for my particular case? Just fyi I'm 20 and I live alone, working as a Software Engineer with an 8-mile round trip daily commute with one prior accident. I'm currently paying $600/half year for liability only insurance. Does anyone know by how much will the ticket affect my rate?
