Reference: DCDL-0013966
Description: The cartoon shows three villains standing in the dock. Their lawyer states in their defence that they saw electronic devices left on as they were passing by and broke in to warn of the possibility of electrical malfunction thereby potentially saving lives and suffering. A man in the courtroom is reading a newspaper with the headline 'Waihopai 3 walk free' which refers to three peace activists who broke into the Waihopai government spybase near Blenheim and slashed an inflatable plastic dome covering a satellite dish causing over $1 million worth of damage. They were found not guilty on the grounds that they were potentially saving lives. The lawyer defending the three villains in the cartoon is using the same ploy.
