New Zealand is seen as a safe place for tourists to visit. This is a bit of an illusion, most likely due to its relatively low population, as its Total crime rate per capita is actually the second highest in the world - second only to Dominica. Its actual crime rate is 105.881 crimes per 1,000 people. Some comparisons are listed below: * United Kingdom: 85.5517 per 1,000 people * USA: 80.0645 per 1,000 people * Switzerland: 36.1864 per 1,000 people * Russia: 20.5855 per 1,000 people * India: 1.63352 per 1,000 people The difference is that India, for example, has a huge population, and many crimes probably don't even go reported due to poverty and lack of policing in poverty-stricken areas. New Zealand has a much higher standard of living, and far fewer people, so its crime rate seems disproportionately high.

It depends on your standard. New Zealand elected it's own Parliament first in 1853. Universal male suffrage was 1879, universal over-21 suffrage was 1893. Votes were weighted in favour of rural areas (i.e. rural voters votes counted for more then urban voters) until 1945. 18-year olds could vote in 1975. Maori can choose to vote on a separate Maori-only roll, and these votes weren't counted equally with general votes until 1996.

New Zealand has an informal constitution in the same style as Britain and Israel (as opposed to the United States or France which have formal Constitutions). As for rituals, most New Zealanders are Christian and follow (to a limited extent) the Christian traditions and holidays (especially Christmas). As for the indigenous Maori, they are permitted tribal law and allowed to practice their tribals rites on their Tribal Territories which operate similarly to those in the United States or Australia.

New Zealand police MUST tell you exactly what the search warrent they are issuing you means and what it gives them the right to do, if they don't it means theyre in serious trouble. You can request your lawyer attend any lawful search regardless of wether they surprise you or let you know they are comming. If you feel a search is unlawful you can get a lwayer and discuss it with them.

It is not illegal but it is very dangerous and foolish to do so.
