Now, this vision makes up a large amount of video evidence that was captured from the incident.

We heard from council assisting that incident.

Along with Mr. Swift's mobile vision, there was also another person there filming on their phone, and five of those police officers were also wearing body-worn cameras.

Well, when Freeman is told by police why they're there and what the warrant is about, and that it's in fact in regards to child sex offences, he describes it as bullshit.

He argues with the police.

He refuses to come out.

He tells them that they can go to hell, that the search is illegal and that he doesn't recognise their law.

At one stage, he said that he was going to appeal that search warrant in the Supreme Court during some of that back and forth.

I'm really not sure if you can, but we do know that Freeman already had quite a fractured relationship with the law before August last year.

So in 2021, he was involved in an attempt to have the former Victorian Premier, Daniel Andrews, tried for treason and fraud.

Three years later, he told the Supreme Court that he and his family were the victims of malicious prosecution and a personal vendetta after he was stopped for speeding out the front of a fish and chip shop.

So it is certainly a method that he has used before.

Yeah, so we heard that they made multiple attempts to coax the Freemans out.

Desi refused.

At one stage, a police officer went onto the top, the roof of the bus to try to get in, and that was unsuccessful.

And after about half an hour, the police called a supervisor to get permission to essentially break into the bus.

That was granted and it was at that point that Detective Thompson was able to remove a Perspex piece of glass that was at the top of the bus door.

So he was able to get that glass off and then enter the bus feet first.

And it's as he enters into the bus when his body goes in that he is shot in the side of the face and we heard voices.

from the council assisting that at that point he immediately collapses.
