Where/when? Australian police officers are generally armed when on duty to my knowledge.
- jxramos 9y agoI saw it here https://youtu.be/BBrN-ax2eJA?t=118 https://youtu.be/BBrN-ax2eJA?t=118. Looks like the cop pulls up in a car, and then officer drives off, not the same thing I realize about being unarmed. I might have confused the unarmed police with the British bobbies perhaps. I thought I heard somewhere Australian police don't carry firearms.
- jxramos 9y agoI stand corrected. "Unlike some other countries under the Commonwealth such as Great Britain itself, Australian state and federal police routinely carry firearms. While on duty, most officers' duty belts consist of: a handgun, a Taser, an expandable baton, pepper spray, a set of handcuffs, ammunition magazines, gloves, torch and a two-way radio." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_enforcement_in_Australia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_enforcement_in_Australia
