Acknowledgement of Country// Hamid Khan and Matyos Kidane - Stop LAPD Spying CoalitionPriya caught up with Stop LAPD Spying Coalition's Hamid Khan and Matyos Kidane in July 2024 to talk about organising with unhoused community in downtown Los Angeles' Skid Row and beyond against militarised policing and surveillance by the Los Angeles Police Department. In this wide-ranging conversation about the group's work, broadcast in three parts across August 2024, Hamid and Matyos also discuss Stop LAPD Spying Coalition's abolitionist ethos, the importance of a structural analysis of police violence, and emphasise why it is crucial to resist liberal reformism and academic and non-profit complicity in state violence.// Tamar Hopkins and Ilo Diaz - Centre Against Racial ProfilingWe replay a conversation from October 2024 with Tamar Hopkins and Ilo Diaz of the Centre Against Racial Profiling, who joined us to speak about the launch of the Racial Profiling Data Monitoring Project. The project's website, racialprofilingresearch.org, hosts important data showing the extent of racial profiling in Victoria Police during street searches obtained via Freedom of Information requests covering four years worth of police search records. Tamar has been working in the area of police accountability and racism since 2005. She was the founding lawyer of the Police Accountability Project at Flemington & Kensington Community Legal Centre in Melbourne Australia in 2009. She has a PhD from UNSW on racial profiling, and has appeared as an expert witness at inquests and commissions investigating police accountability and racial profiling. Ilo has worked directly with communities experiencing human rights abuses in Melbourne, South America and Palestine. His background is in Human Rights observing in areas of conflict. Ilo also volunteers with Melbourne Activist Legal Support, providing his expertise to Legal Observer teams that observe police actions in protests.// Justice for Sonya Massey Oakland RallyThe Anti Police Terror Project joined organisations around the United States to coordinate a rally calling for Justice for Sonya Massey on the 29th of July 2024 in Oakland, California. Sonya Massey was a 36-year-old Black mother who was shot and killed by Deputy Sean Grayson of the Illinois Police Department on 6 July, 2024, after she called the police with concerns about an intruder entering her home. The rally was MC'd by APTP's Cat Brooks, and the recording we played in today's show (originally broadcast in August 2024) features poetry by Oakland's first Poet Laureate Dr Ayodele 'WordSlanger' Nzinga, as well as reflections from Uncle Bobby and Big Oscar, the uncle and father of Oscar Grant, who was killed on New Year's Day 2009 by Bay Area Rapid Transit Police Officer Johannes Mehserle in Oakland.//

Prabowo's election has raised significant concern amongst rights advocates, who point to allegations of serious human rights abuses overseen by the incoming president in both East Timor and Papua, as well as the potential for Prabowo's presidency to function as a conduit for incumbent Joko Widodo to continue exerting political influence once exiting office.// Dr Tamar Hopkins - Racial profiling training for defence lawyers Community lawyer and scholar Dr Tamar Hopkins speaks with us about training criminal defence lawyers to identify and respond to racial profiling and other forms of police misconduct in Victoria. Tamar's PhD thesis, which won the Australian Legal Research Awards PhD Award in 2023, examined the meaning of racial profiling and its application in the Australian context, in the absence of a formal system of identification and potential accountability for victims of police misconduct. Tamar, who has been working, researching and writing on police powers since 2005, will be running the well-regarded Stop, Question and Search/Racial Profiling Training for Defence Lawyers in Victoria training again on Tuesday 12 March - find out more here. // Coronial InquestToday 22nd of Feb is the final day of the coronial inquest into the death of Joshua Kerr.Please show up today to the Coroner's Court at 65 Kavanaugh St Southbank 10am - 4pm. If you're unable to attend today, please join the livestream.Today 22nd of Feb, sergeant lee bauwens is finally due to give evidence at the coronial inquest into the death of Kumanjayi Walker.With former constable zachary rolfe is due to give evidence from 26 February to 1 March 2024.You can show your support by attending the livestream. Donate to the Dhadjowa foundation who provide critical support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families. FundraiserPlease help bring Makalie homeSupport for Aunty Vickie Roach// Support and services for mob13YARN (13 92 76) - 24/7 free national crisis support line.

*Content Warning: This episode of Doin' Time may contain audio images of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have died, and discussion of Deaths in Custody. Many targeted racialised groups understand their differential treatment by police, but what kind of formal data collection or publication is available about police encounters with the public? This episode of Doin' Time features an extended interview with Dr Tamar Hopkins, following on from last week's discussion. Today she joins Marisa on the program to discuss her 2022 PhD thesis entitled Understanding Racial Profiling in Australia, providing an in-depth breakdown of her research methods, aims and findings, and the lack of formalised data or legal precedents (and experience at the Flemington & Kensington Community Legal Centre) which led her to this work, and what it means going forward. Importantly, she notes "clear evidence that there are two systems of policing in Victoria - a more 'textbook' version that the police roll out when they are policing white people," versus a "speculative, invasive, and humiliating type... when police are policing particular racialised groups." Head to www.3cr.org.au/dointime for full access to links and previous podcasts.

On 30 June 2020, the Victorian government announced a lockdown of specific hotspot suburbs in an effort to control the spread of COVID19 cases. Less than a week later, on 5 July 2020, the Victorian premier Dan Andrews announced a 'hard lockdown' of 9 public housing estates. The residents in these housing estates in the suburbs of Flemington and North Melbourne, were effectively placed in detention in their own homes, without warning, for up to 24 days with a large armed police presence. In today's show, we first hear from Tigist Kebede, counsellor, and volunteer at AMSSA Youth Connect about what was happening in the housing estates after the lockdown was announced. We then hear from Tamar Hopkins, lawyer and researcher in the area of police accountability and racial profiling, about the history of policing of the residents in the affected suburbs. Please be aware that this show was recorded at a time when the residents in these estates were in lockdown and the situation continues to evolve rapidly. Please also be aware that today’s show contains descriptions of police brutality.

Marisa interviewed Meg Hill from the refugee Action Collective about the detention of Refugees in the mantra Hotel, in the context of public health, and releasing them into the community. Marisa also interviewed Tamar Hopkins former Principal Solicitor from Flemken. Marisa and Tamar discussed the hard lockdown of the 9 towers in Flemmington and North Melbourne, and the overpolicing and lack of preparation for the Lockdown.

Santilla Chingaipe, Roxanne Moore, Tamar Hopkins and Fiona McLeod at the Wheeler Centre In this edition of our Not Racist, But series, we discuss racial bias in the criminal justice system – from policing and legal aid to jury selection and sentencing. Indigenous Australians account for just 2% of our country's overall population and more than a quarter of our adult prison population. How, specifically, is this a function of explicit and structural racism across various facets of our enforcement and justice systems? And how are all non-white Australians – especially those from refugee backgrounds – disadvantaged when interacting with police and with the courts? In this discussion, host Santilla Chingaipe and the panel explore how racial discrimination and bias play out on a daily and inter-generational basis in Australia. They look at racial data collection, too, and how sensationalist media reporting can skew perception, politics and policy. With lawyer and Accountability Round Table Chair Fiona McLeod; Noongar woman, lawyer and NATSILS Executive Officer Roxanne Moore; and FKCLC Police Accountability Project founding lawyer Tamar Hopkins.Support the Wheeler Centre: https://www.wheelercentre.com/support-us/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We interviewed Tamar Hopkins, former Principal Solicitor from Flemington Kensington Community Legal Centre, and current researcher of police ethical standards and the complaint system. We discussed the broken Police complaints system, racial profiling and  the effect of Guerin's activities. The avalanche of police brutality reports were also discussed, along with how it's important to have an independent body investigating police.We also interviewed Wayne Muir, Ceo of the Aboriginal Legal service, about how the current police complaints system impacts on Abboriginal people. Stolen Generation was also discussed, along with the police brutality reports, and how we can fix the complaints system in Victoria. The underlying trauma of colonisation was also commented upon.  

ITC#4: Tamar Hopkins on Haile-Michael v Konstantinidis When Tamar Hopkins started at the Flemington Kensington Community Legal Centre in 2005, she was immediately struck by the persistent complaints, from young people of African ethnicity, about their treatment at the hands of local police. Eventually, those complaints led to a claim of unlawful discrimination, and the creative settlement of the ensuing case continues to have an impact on Victorian policing.
