Mr Adams reported an incident to the Police Portfolio Committee and was shut down by Mr Ian Cameron, the Chairperson of the committee.
“He stated that he reported the incident to the Police Portfolio Committee and was shut down by Mr Ian Cameron, the Chairperson of the committee.”
Advocate Johnson acknowledges that Mr Adams, a member of the Police Portfolio Committee, has access to information and documents related to the allegations.
“Mr Adams is a member of the Police Portfolio Committee. These allegations come to them from time to time. There is active engagement with the police. There are documents ... I also had information.”
Advocate Johnson says that the suspicion test under section 27 is a subjective test based on the mind of the person concerned, specifically Mr. Adams as a member of the Police Portfolio Committee who interacts with police and has access to relevant information.
“Yes [to suspicion viewed subjectively] ... Mr Adams is a member of the Police Portfolio Committee ... there is active engagement with the police ... I did not take his to be just the test of a subjective mind.”
