I'm sorry auDA, that would require cops to probably go through about a year of school to understand.

It sounds like Australian cops have to pass an exam, which seems like a step up from Americans hiring any loser jabroni off the street with a low IQ, but I'm not sure if the requirements are high enough to be recruiting the kind of people who would understand networking on that level after a year. A lot of it is pretty abstract and mathy, and while I'm not trying to denigrate the Australian police forces, because I am not intimately familiar, lets just say cops worldwide don't exactly have a reputation for being exceptionally educated in their own jobs, let alone anything else (despite some being more well-educated in policing than others).

So genuinely sorry auDA, I don't think this is going to happen except with a handful of very specific officers maybe, and then those officers will be fielding all the calls related to anything internet related, which might quickly become overwhelming if there aren't enough of them.

Frankly, I’d settle for making the cops learn how the law works, and what they can and cannot do. Ignorance isn’t a defense for us plebs; it shouldn’t be a defense for the cops either.

What a brilliant initiative by auDA to prioritize training for the police on understanding the intricacies of the internet! This move is crucial in today's digital age, where online crimes are rampant. It's about time our law enforcement officers are equipped with the knowledge to tackle cyber-related issues effectively. Kudos to auDA for recognizing the importance of this training — it's an absolute necessity in passing the "IQ test free" for modern policing!
