Nationwide crackdown targets unpaid court fines

Court fine clampdown

Court bailiffs will carry out a nationwide operation targeting motorists with unpaid fines and reparations, with vehicles potentially being clamped, seized and sold if debts remain unresolved.

Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith said every bailiff in the country will spend Thursday scanning the number plates of parked vehicles to identify people with overdue court debts.

Those identified will be given an opportunity to pay or make suitable arrangements. Where that does not happen, vehicles could be clamped or towed and ultimately sold.

“The message to those who owe money is simple — pay your court fines, or you may be walking home,” Goldsmith said.



The nationwide operation follows a trial launched in July last year, when bailiffs began using handheld technology to scan vehicle number plates. The devices have also been deployed at some breath-testing checkpoints.

According to Government figures, 268,829 number plates have been scanned since the programme began, identifying 7,148 people with overdue fines or reparations.

Of those, 1,320 paid their debt immediately and another 561 entered payment arrangements. Bailiffs seized 404 vehicles and clamped another 683.

A total of 184 seized vehicles have subsequently been sold at auction, with another 32 awaiting sale. In other cases, warnings were issued or enforcement action was not taken because of individual circumstances.

Goldsmith said the programme had recovered more than $4.24 million in outstanding fines and reparations as of 14 August.

He said enforcing payment was part of the Government’s wider law-and-order programme and was intended to ensure court-imposed financial penalties were taken seriously.

  1. With regards to the pic in the article;
    1. Go and purchase ‘same as’ wheels that match your own car’s wheels from the salvage yards. (usually inexpensive..)
    2. Try & keep 2- 3 extra spare wheels on board,
    3. If you encounter a wheel clamp that is locked, simply
    4. Jack your car, or simply use a battery-powered grinder to cut the lock / clamp;
    5. Remove the locked / clamped wheel, if you don’t have a grinder,
    6. Install one of your spares;
    7. Drive away, leaving the locked / clamped wheel on the side of the road!
    If you have Super Glue, be sure to squirt a substantial amount into the clamp’s keyhole…
    Locking a vehicle’s wheel is dangerous, interferes with and violates one’s right to freedom of movement as per New Zealand Law,

  2. ‘Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith said every bailiff in the country will spend Thursday scanning the number plates of parked vehicles to identify people with overdue court debts’
    .
    WE CAN NOW SEE THE TYRANNICAL METHODOLOGY NOW OF HAVING ALL OF THOSE CAMERAS WITH FACIAL RECOGNITION SCANNERS ON EVERY STREET CORNER AND IN THE SUPERMARKETS???
    Less than 90 days of Goldsmith’s reign is remaining until the Nazional Party is given the boot!
    And hopefully, the rest of the Uni-Party as well!
    Put New Zealand Loyal into Parliament, and ALL of these tyrannical, privacy-violating draconian procedures will be shut-down!

    New Zealand Government: Above the Law, Guilty of Cover-Up, and Laughing at You
    May 1, 2026 Published by Kelvyn Alp

    The New Zealand state can literally get away with murder – and they’re proving it right now.

    On March 15, 2019, the Christchurch Mosque attacks shook the nation. Fifty-one people died. The world watched in horror as the ‘livestream’ captured the ‘terrorist act’. Or did it?

    A detailed forensic video analysis – conducted outside New Zealand because the evidence itself is banned here – has concluded with absolute certainty: the official video is fake. Staged. Zero real victims visible. Anomalies in recoil, ballistics, blood, injuries, digital manipulation, and replica-style weapons that scream Hollywood production, not raw reality. This isn’t speculation. It’s forensic examination by experts who examined the footage frame by frame.

    And what did our government do? They didn’t investigate. They didn’t debate. They banned it. Under the Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act, possessing, viewing, or sharing the video became a criminal offence – punishable by up to 14 years in prison. They classified it “objectionable” faster than you can say “damage control.” The manifesto too. Evidence suppressed by decree.

    This is the same system that can deem something as benign as a Winnie the Pooh reference or image “objectionable” if it suits their filters. Think about that: cartoon bears can be criminalised, but questioning the state’s narrative on the worst terrorist attack in our history? That’s dangerous thoughtcrime. The people are not allowed to see, judge, or impart the raw evidence for themselves. Free speech, public scrutiny, and the right to evidence? Mocked and crushed.

    This is not about protecting the public. This is the system protecting itself. Self-preservation at all costs. Legislation rushed through to censor anything that challenges the official story. Complicity in whatever truly transpired that day is being shielded by the full force of the state apparatus – police, politicians, censors, and compliant media.

    Every politician has seen the forensic report. Every major media outlet, including the so-called “alternative” ones. The Police Commissioner. They all received it. With the exception of The Daily Telegraph NZ – Not one has uttered a word. Silence. Complicity by omission. Who exactly are they working for? The public they claim to serve, or the machine that keeps them in power and protected?

    The same pattern repeats with the COVID jab rollout. Questions about excess deaths, adverse events, and the aggressive mandates were met with heavy-handed censorship, dismissal of data, and attacks on anyone raising concerns. Official narratives were protected at all costs, while dissenting voices – including those with legitimate data – were silenced or punished. Just like Christchurch, inconvenient truths about the jab were buried to shield the elites who pushed the rollout.

    We see this theatre time and again. Take the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in State Care. We all know the horrific truth: systemic abuse of the most vulnerable over decades. The evidence was overwhelming. Yet the response from the government and state apparatus has been classic lip-service – public apologies, vague promises of “redress,” and carefully worded reports that ultimately protect the guilty parties within the system. Real accountability? Almost none. The club of criminal elites looks after its own.

    As a journalist holding power to account, I’ve been targeted for simply demanding transparency on these issues. Lawyers? Their hands are tied within the very framework the state designed to maintain the illusion of justice. They operate inside the system; rocking the boat too hard risks their place in it. If you’re connected to the state apparatus, crime pays very well. For the rest of us? Dissent is rebranded as extremism.

    The Christchurch cover-up exposes the rot: No organised resistance succeeds because the rules are rigged. They write the laws, control the narrative, classify the evidence, and punish those who dare look behind the curtain. They used the tragedy to push gun control, online censorship, and “hate speech” expansions while burying inconvenient truths.

    New Zealanders, wake up. This isn’t governance – it’s a protection racket. The emperor has no clothes, and the video they banned proves the official story is a fabrication. Demand the forensic report be addressed publicly. Demand answers, not bans. Demand the right to see evidence and decide for yourself.

    If they can fake or censor Christchurch, bury the real story on the jab rollout, and turn a Royal Commission into another whitewash, what else are they hiding? The system isn’t broken. It is working exactly as designed – for them, not you.

    Share this before they try to memory-hole it too. The truth doesn’t fear investigation. Only liars do.

    Had Enough? The Merciless Truth New Zealand Can’t Ignore
    June 5, 2025 Published by Kelvyn Alp

    Are you done? Done with the gaslighting, the lies, the corruption that festers like an open wound? Are you sick of watching the medical industry peddle harm, pushing drugs and jabs while cancers and diseases skyrocket, poisoning our bodies with every breath, bite, and sip? Our air, land, and water are choked with chemicals, seeping into our food chain, our children, our very existence. And for what? Profit. Power. Control.

    Have you had your fill of marches, petitions, submissions, and letters that vanish into the void of deaf ears? How many protests have you attended, chanting for change, only to see the same globalist agenda steamroll forward? I’ve been screaming it from the rooftops: this agenda is coming, whether you like it or not. Unless you snap out of your delusion that the same tired political parties – recycled faces, recycled promises – will somehow save you, nothing changes. They won’t. They’re complicit.

    Look around. Organisations claim to be “for the people,” then herd you like sheep to vote for the very same suits who’ve gutted our country. The economy’s in freefall, lives are shattered, and division is sown through manufactured outrage and rewritten history. They pit us against each other while they feast. Your rights are being stripped – freedom of speech gagged by censorship laws, property rights eroded by predatory regulations, and bodily autonomy crushed under medical mandates. You’re told what to say, what to think, what to inject, all while they tighten the noose.

    Are you tired of it yet?

    Tired of watching our children become targets, their futures stolen, while parents are reduced to powerless bystanders? The state gets away with murder – literal and figurative – while inquiries, those feel-good nothing-burgers, deliver zero justice, zero accountability.

    Feel the weight of your bills piling up? The sleepless nights, the depression, the despair as you scrape by? Meanwhile, politicians bask in lavish lifestyles, pocketing pay rises and perks for their treasonous loyalty to globalist masters. They don’t care about the homeless – those numbers only look “better” because they’ve defunded emergency housing and kicked the vulnerable to the curb. Work, they demand, but where are the jobs? The economy tanks under their useless policies, and yet they have the gall to raise rates, taxes, and costs, squeezing you dry until property ownership – your birthright – slips through your fingers. It’s all part of their plan to strip you of your freedoms, to leave you owning nothing, voiceless and powerless.

    Cancers are spiking. Heart disease, infertility, chronic ailments – they’re not accidents. They’re the fallout of medical tyranny, of a system that profits from your suffering. Domestic violence is surging, crime is rampant, and why? Because people feel worthless, crushed under the boot of a government that thrives on their misery. Families are breaking, spirits are crumbling, and the parasites in power – backed by their police thugs and rubber-stamped by complicit courts – will never, ever, let go of that power willingly.

    You know it. I know it. We’re sick of it. Sick of the betrayal, the lies, the pain. We know you’ve been let down, time and again, by those who promised change and delivered ruin. We know many of you are giving up, hearts heavy with despair, because every other party has failed you.

    But, New Zealand Loyal will not. We stand for decentralization, a real and sound economy, less government strangling your life, protection for our children, and justice – real justice – with retribution for those who’ve bled us dry.

    One vote. One day. It can change everything. Will you finally stand up, or will you let them win?

    When the System Grinds You to Dust
    September 15, 2025 Published by Kelvyn Alp
    The Ugly Reality of Why People Snap and the Bloodbath That Follows

    Imagine this: You’re not a monster. You’re a Kiwi – maybe a parent, a tradie, a patient – who’s been kicked in the teeth one too many times by a machine that doesn’t give a damn. The bills pile up, ACC plays God with your injury claim, Work and Income treats you like a criminal, and every door you knock on slams shut. You’ve screamed, you’ve begged, you’ve voted, you’ve marched. Nothing. Zilch. The gatekeepers – government, corporates, courts – keep grinding forward, treating you like collateral damage. And then, one day, the fuse burns out. You snap.

    It’s not because you want to hurt anyone – it’s because the pain has nowhere else to go. Violence born of desperation doesn’t land on the guilty. It lands on the innocent – families, co-workers, bystanders – who bleed because the system made you invisible.

    This isn’t glorification. It’s a gut-punch warning. Unless those in power start listening to the wreckage they’re creating – the botched medical system, the corruption rotting government, the policies that crush families – more blood will spill. And when it does, the dead can’t sue, the silenced can’t vote, and the broken will rise.

    The Doctor’s Knife: When Medical Nightmares Turn Deadly

    Picture a family man in Christchurch, healthy one day, waking up from a routine procedure and suddenly condemned to chronic pain. ACC denies his claim. The DHB shrugs. He can’t work. He begs for help – scans, compensation, anything. But they gaslight him: “It’s all in your head.” His marriage breaks. His kids go hungry. We’ve seen it here. Kiwi families forced to crowdfund cancer treatments because Pharmac won’t fund them. Parents pleading for experimental drugs, denied on cost grounds while bureaucrats bank salaries. This is the spark for rage. And rage ignored festers.

    The Puppet Masters: Corruption and Cover-Ups That Bury the Truth

    Governments here claim to serve the people, but in reality, they serve themselves and their donors. Look at the revolving door of politicians sliding into cushy consultancy gigs with corporates they once regulated. Look at lobbyists’ writing policy while ordinary people queue at foodbanks. We’ve seen cover-ups in New Zealand before. Pike River families are still fighting for truth. Oranga Tamariki scandals buried under PR spin.

    Whistleblowers smeared, silenced, or dragged through endless court cases. The lesson? Don’t challenge the machine – it will crush you to protect itself.

    Shattered Homes: Poverty’s Slow Burn to Family Carnage

    Poverty here isn’t an abstract number. It’s the mum in South Auckland skipping meals so her kids can eat. It’s the dad in Kaitaia working two jobs and still facing eviction because rents have exploded. The statistics are clear: child poverty drives violence, desperation, and crime. Family violence here is among the highest in the OECD. Yet instead of fixing the root causes, governments patch over the wounds with reports and slogans. That pressure cooker boils until someone explodes – and the innocents, not the policymakers, pay the price.

    Policy Poison: “Progress” That Destroys Livelihoods

    Politicians beam as they sign climate deals, trade pacts, and automation policies, promising “more jobs.” Meanwhile, logging towns collapse, freezing works close, and families who gave their lives to industries are tossed on the scrap heap. We’ve seen this across provincial New Zealand: whole communities gutted by job losses while government pats itself on the back. Addiction, suicide, and violence follow in the vacuum. Those responsible sip wine at Beehive functions while ordinary Kiwis bury their loved ones.

    Kangaroo Courts: Justice Denied

    The courts here don’t deliver justice – they deliver theatre. Farmers protesting water regulations are dragged before judges, while white-collar criminals cut deals behind closed doors. Those who challenge the government’s narrative face ruin while actual corruption goes unpunished. This breeds conspiracy, distrust, and eventually rage. When people lose faith in justice, they take matters into their own hands. And the police? They’re the blunt instrument used to silence the dissenters, not the criminals in suits.

    The Christchurch Echo: Suppression That Fuels the Fire

    This is personal. The Christchurch mosque shootings in 2019 were a tragedy that shook our nation. But when people asked questions about the official narrative, the government’s response was swift: suppression, censorship, and persecution. I know this because I’ve lived it. The full weight of the state has been used against me. I was bankrupted, financially ruined, and dragged through the courts for daring to speak.

    Hannah Spierer, too, was arrested and now faces 14 years in prison because a link – just a link – to a foreign documentary site was shared on Counterspin Media’s Telegram in February 2022. That same content wasn’t deemed “objectionable” until March 10. By law, there is no retrospective application in classification legislation. Meaning no crime at the time. Yet they are trying to jail us. Why? To send a message: We will silence you, and we will get away with it.

    The evidence proving the mosque attack video was fake has been provided to media, to police, to government ministers. They all remain silent. Silent because the truth shatters their narrative. Silent because corruption runs to the highest levels. We have proven a conspiracy. This should be front-page news. It isn’t. Why? Because they hold the monopoly on threat and fear. They use it to intimidate and destroy. They have tried to destroy me. They will try to destroy anyone else who dares speak.

    But we will not bow.

    The Mirror: Your Distrust is the System’s Nightmare

    Look in the mirror. Do you trust a single politician anymore? Do you trust the justice system? The media? Every speech, every slogan, and every promise is manipulation. The machine exists to preserve itself – not you.

    When people lose everything, when they are ground to dust by corruption, poverty, medical negligence, and lies, they snap. And when they do, the innocent suffer. This isn’t inevitable – but unless we demand answers, unless we expose every cover-up and hold every traitor to account, the explosions will keep coming. The blood will not only be on the hands of those who pulled the trigger – but on every minister, judge, journalist, and bureaucrat who protected lies and silenced truth.

    The victims of Christchurch – and every Kiwi betrayed by this system – deserve truth, not narratives crafted for public consumption. And until we get it, the storm will only grow.

    RAW. HARD. KIWI TRUTH.

  3. Goldsmith is a miserable little shit. This is not a time for arrogance Goldsmith .The general public are issuing a major fine to the National party. It will be in writing. We will use an orange pen. The effect will be immediate.

    The economy is on its knees. People have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in property equity. Its not coming back soon. Now it seems minor fines will result in vehicles being auctioned off for cents in the dollar.

    What sort of a clown are you Goldsmith? It’s this type of arrogance that leds to a one term government.

    People have options. Excape the country and do overall better in Australia. And yes, I am still eligible to vote in this general election Mr Goldsmith. Many National party MP’s will loose thier jobs and income. The ones that remain will take a massive pay cut.

    • Your Zionist / J3wi$h spelling skills can’t even get the name correct..!
      It’s NOT a ‘nutty rant’ – it’s REALITY FOR MANY KIWI FAMILIES!
      Are you a Uni-Party hack? Living in Epsom? North Shore? Experiencing the severe aspects of the Dunning-Kruger effect? Or…perhaps ‘The Peter Principle’?
      You comment has no effect on the adverse realities that we are in!! Kelvyn Alp & the NZ Loyal Party will effect immediate repairs to a severely flawed and biased Political, Economic, Industrial and Masonic Judicial System!

    • That’s right…have you seen the anger and frustrations in people’s faces and their behaviours knowing now that they have been totally and effectively betrayed by the psychopaths in the Wasp Nest?

  4. Many New Zealand people have been left with the option of choosing between shelter, food and Goldsmiths declaration to end human rights.

    Meanwhile Goldsmith stuffs his face at Parliament free restaurant or used his taxa paid visa. Then he is provided with a free home to live in Wellington, free air travel, free car. free petrol. All of this comes from the people who Goldsmith has over taxed, levies, GST, PAYE and so much more.

  5. BTW, Goldsmith is on his way to become an accessory to murder by allowing the USSA to extradite Kim Dotcom, who is in a wheel chair post-stroke, and who is involved in a simple Civil Court Case, and not a Federal Criminal Case, even though the Zionists in Hellywood with their J3wi$h lawyers have embellished the case against KDC!
    The J3w$ in the USSA would insure that KDC will suffer Diesel Therapy, ankle shackles 24/7 which leads to bacterial leg ulcers, sleep deprivation, and then will probably murder KDC via ‘suicide in the jail cell’ .
    KDC cannot travel…
    KDC suffered illegal search & seizure of his property, which was ruined upon return years later, and had the FBI raid his home in Coatesville which was a violation of KDC’s Human & Civil Rights, NZ sovereignty and International Law!
    The J3w$ running the USSA do not like KDC due to him being German, and making millions of $’s without their approval!

    IF the New Zealand Loyal Party can get into Parliament with a voter majority that is pissed-off with Uni-Party Global Zionist Politics, then the Extradition Order on KDC will be cancelled, and maybe KDC will then become a NZ Citizen!
    IF these things can happen to Congressmen, Presidents, Alternative media Personalities, etc., then it can and will happen to you very soon IF YOU KEEP VOTING FOR THE UNI-PARTY AND THEIR HORRIFIC POLICIES!!!
