What New Zealanders can do if they get arrested overseas

The Front Page - A podcast by NZ Herald

Two brothers have been arrested in Thailand this week after an alleged roadside tussle with a police officer. Video appears to show Hamish and Oscar Day wrestling with an officer for his gun, after reportedly being pulled over for speeding. They are just the latest in a very long line of Kiwis who have run afoul of the law overseas – but what exactly are your rights if you clash with cops while on holiday? Today on The Front Page, we discuss this with Waikato University international law expert, Alexander Gillespie.
