Q Yes.
A Now my questions really are geared towards a single issue
here. It’s whether this man was working that day in his
van. Whether Mr Cordell was working. He wasn’t stopped
in the initial -- what happens in these operations, isn’t it, is
that vehicles drive along and there’s police at usually two
different spots in the road and cars are stopped if you want
to check their documents, cars and vehicles?
Is that right?
Obviously different operations will be organised
differently but, yes, in general that —that sounds about
right.
Q And on this occasion Mr Cordell -- he wasn’t actually
stopped, he pulled up of his own accord close to where this
operation was taking place? A Yes.
Q And then you went and approached him? Is that right?
Q Yes, that’s correct. F
A And you formed the impression, you have told us in as
many words, that he was working that day?

A Working as a — as some sort of tradesman that day?
Yes. G
Q Just to cover quick points, you didn’t see him working?
Q No.

232,
Q You did not speak to anyone he was working for?
A No.
Q You did not seize or view any paperwork pertaining to him
working that day?
A No.
Q When he was cautioned, he said “Nah, you don’t know
nothing. I was trying to get a job here. You don’t
understand, man”?
That’s what you’ve noted?
A Yes.
Q Isn’t it the case that before he made that comment
following arrest that he was explaining to you that he
wasn’t working and that he was actually going to see
someone about getting future work?
A The only comment I’ve made in my notes is — is that
initial one which stated -- where he stated “I’ll give you
my insurance but I’m just going in there to do some work”.
