Not sure what you're suggesting, but if it is what i think then it's not true..
Police don't just hang around at someone's workplace through for this type of crime though, it's not a very efficient use of time.
If someone is to be arrested, they simply update their details in the database, this includes automatic number plate readers which all police cars have these days and provide alerts to those in the car, that's the most likely reason he was pulled over on a busy road.

Has Australian Rugby had to go through a sexual assault allegation/charge before? The only other one I can remember is a player overseas being reported as being arrested for sexual assault when he was infact just questioned by police about the actions of a team mate (he captained the brumbies to the 2013 win over the lions...)

Wallabies star Beale granted bail after Bondi sexual assault charges
His barrister argued phone conversations relied on by the prosecution as an admission of guilt were actually an admission of infidelity.
Living with in-laws. I bet that's a vibe.

March 22 before next court date, that's at least a month of the season gone without any training with the group (unless the charges are dropped of course)
I can understand the prosecution not wanting bail but I didnt like the part of claiming he would be a risk of re-offending without stating reasons of why they think he would be.

Police have built a case in the last month.
they got a warrant and recorded his phone conversations.
they got to a stage where they believed they had enough to charge him.
then they planned how they would do it.
it was never an option for them to attend a training session, and wait till it was convenient for KB (Kurtley Beale) & the Tahs.
they did it by traffic stop to make KB (Kurtley Beale) feel as isolated as possible.
they timed it so he’d have to spend a night in the boob to stew.
same with insisting he reports daily.
who really thinks he’s a chance of absconding or repeating the offence till the court date?

Feels like a massive reach here.
One could easily say based on the information we have, that this may have been the first time Kurtley's wife and 3-4 month old wasn't in the car with him.
I can't imagine conducting a road side arrest in front of one's partner and kid is a nice experience. Add in its summer and may not be in the child's welfare to be pulled over and sit in the curb for 30-60 minutes while the arrest and search is conducted.

Police don’t have the manning resources to plan elaborate arrests like you suggest, not for a sexual assaults. That’s the kind of effort reserved for more serious crimes like homicide and high risk arrests where the investigators are allocated larger teams and more resources.
The team investigating this would have 20-30 other concurrent sexual assault investigations ongoing in addition to this one.

I misunderstood this part of it and thought the police had the technology to retrieve old phone calls. I am amazed she answered his phone call, especially if it happened after the police put a trace on him, I'm no lawyer but isn't this entrapment?
I was beginning to think we may be going the way the US wants to go, where they want to record everybody's phone conversations.

That makes sense. You would imagine he was just lucky there was none of his family in the car at that time.

entrapment isn’t a defence Australia.
Even in the US; entrapment is inducing someone to commit a crime, it’s not entrapment to induce someone to talk about an alleged crime they’ve already committed.

Trying to defend Beale based on what's reported so far astounds me....
It's not like the cops have grabbed him on a Sunday morning after someone has fronted the station immediately after the event.
The allocation was made, the police have done an investigation into the facts and it appears he's proper fucked based on the evidence they've found
Part of his bail condition is that he can't enter an airport - fair enough to stand him down as he can't travel with the team anyway....

My understanding is that once they had a warrant they got her to ring him, in an attempt to get him to incriminate himself.
that’s exactly what they did with a rape accusation of a neighbour of mine some years ago.
pretty much the script was, I want to put it past me, but I need you to acknowledge that you raped me and apologise.
