'Detectives from an elite crime squad routinely flouted the law and believed "that bashing a crook was a community service", according to an Office of Police Integrity report tabled in Parliament today. ...'
Read more here: http://www.theage.com.au/national/cu...1030-5brf.html So what ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? From the same report: 'Three members of the squad, Robert Dabb, Mark Butterfield and Matthew Franc, were called to OPI hearings and denied involvement. They later resigned and earlier this year pleaded guilty to assaulting the suspect and attempting to mislead the OPI. They were sentenced to Intensive Corrections Orders that involves community service work. The OPI said the case exposed "the alarming willingness of some police to lie on oath or turn a blind eye to protect themselves or their colleagues".' So they bashed someone, lied, misused their position of authority, and all they have to do is community service? |
