Different types of actions can involve different types of legal issues and consequences, especially now when social media is playing an increasing role. This section is intended as a basic guide about some of the legal issues you may encounter and should be aware of.

This section looks at different types of actions and the potential consequences including police involvement and arrest, but it is only an overview, and is not intended to be exhaustive, nor is it intended to substitute for personal legal advice. Your action may involve special legal issues not covered here.

You should generally be very careful of any contact with police, especially If there are warrants out for your arrest, or if you are on probation or parole, even if from another Australia state or territory. An arrest may lead to your extradition to whatever jurisdiction wants you.

This section can only provide general information.  If you need personal legal advice, you should consult with a lawyer on an individual basis. If you have any doubts about whether you have special circumstances, seek legal assistance.
