Sunny Kaushal: Dairy and Business Owners Group chair says business owners should be able to defend themselves without being charged
The Dairy and Business Owners Group says shop owners should be allowed to defend themselves without being charged.
Chair Sunny Kaushal spoke with Police Minister Ginny Andersen today.
He says she was receptive to some suggestions.
Kaushal says currently, people can be charged for injuring others while defending themselves.
He says the threshold should be higher.
"The Act has not been changed, and that was done for a different New Zealand. Now, if you see the current situation, the dairy owners- if they try to protect themselves, they get charged."
