25.01.2022 10 February 2016 Article: Another prosecution by Queensland police under controversial anti-association laws has collapsed, leading to a $30,000 costs order awarded to a man who faced up to two years jail for entering a mothballed bikie clubhouse. Police withdrew charges against mine worker Glen Pitt after his lawyers, in a pre-trial hearing in the Brisbane magistrates court on Tuesday, alleged detectives had fabricated conversations with the accused Rebels motorcycle club m...Continue reading

23.01.2022 8 February 2016 And Just When You Thought We Could Not Possibly Hear Anymore About Chris Hurley Or It Be Possible For Him To Get Away With Anything Else. Here h...e is again bracing our pages.. The mind boggles! Article: "CONTROVERSIAL former Palm Island cop Senior Sergeant Chris Hurley will battle the police commissioner in court tomorrow after his pay was cut off amid two separate investigations into his conduct. Sen-Sgt Hurley was stood down from his regular duties in May following a police pursuit on the Gold Coast in which a gun was fired, and then suspended on full pay in December after an incident unrelated to his job. According to documents filed in the Brisbane Supreme Court, Police Commissioner Ian Stewart decided to go a step further last Wednesday and stop paying the 47-year-old while investigations into both incidents were ongoing. Sen-Sgt Hurley, who was the officer at the centre of the 2004 Palm Island riots, has applied to the Supreme Court to review the decision." In the application, he claims he will be unable to pay the mortgage on a unit he owns that his parents live in. If the unit is repossessed it is likely that (Sen-Sgt Hurleys) parents will be dispossessed, the application notes. The financial consequences will have a severe affect on the applicants personal circumstances. Property searches reveal he bought a beachside unit on the Gold Coast in 2004 for almost $600,000. It is alleged in the application that Sen-Sgt Hurley has not been called on to respond to disciplinary proceedings in relation to the police pursuit, in which he and Senior Constable Barry Wellington allegedly opened fire on a couple wanted over a violent tomahawk bashing. The suspension without pay is not necessary to protect the interests of the Queensland Police Service, he claims. Sen-Sgt Hurley was acquitted of manslaughter in 2007 over the death in custody of Mulrunji Doomadgee on Palm Island, which sparked riots. He is being represented by the Queensland Police Unions legal department in his latest court battle. The union is also asking the Supreme Court to overturn the suspensions of five other police officers." Read On And To View Videos:

20.01.2022 30th January 2016 Ex-officer avoids jail on fraud charges FORMER Sunshine Coast police officer David John Latemore's law breaking caught up with him yesterday ...when he was sentenced for more than $26,500 in stealing and fraud offences. Latemore, 45, was a Queensland Police Service officer for 15 years, including time at Kawana Shoppingworld's police beat, until he retired on medical grounds in December 2010. Traumatic work-related incidents, including the 2009 death of a friend in a car accident to which Latemore was called, were accepted by Judge John Robertson as catalysts to his declining mental health. Judge Robertson also took them into consideration during sentencing for the 25 charges to which Latemore pleaded guilty in Maroochydore District Court. Crown prosecutor Alex Stark described Latemore's offending as persistent acts of dishonesty committed between 2008 and 2014. They included offences of ordering goods online and then falsely claiming they didn't arrive before claiming a refund. The total of his stealing and fraud offences, excluding the attempted fraud charges, was $26,549.42. Defence Barrister David Crews said his client had been mistreated by a clinical psychiatrist who he saw from 2010 to 2012. Judge Robertson accepted a diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder by that doctor was almost certainly incorrect. He said the dexamphetamine which Latemore was prescribed was entirely inappropriate for someone without attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. He said it also reduced Latemore's moral culpability for offending during that period. Mr Crews said his client was unemployed and unemployable. "He is never going to work again," Mr Crews said. All of the $26,500 except about $870 owed to Myer for a theft had been repaid. Judge Robertson sentenced Latemore to nine months in prison, suspended immediately for three years. He also placed Latemore on a three-year probation order. www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au//ex-officer-avoids-/2915492/

20.01.2022 9 February 2016 Chris Hurley Temporarily Wins Case. Article: "The Queensland Police Union is claiming a victory after its lawyers were able to secure the pay of controversial suspended officer Chris Hurley.... Senior Sergeant Hurley, who was acquitted almost a decade ago over a death in custody on Palm Island, was stood down from regular duties last May after a police pursuit on the Gold Coast in which a gun was fired. He was then suspended on full pay in December after a separate incident relating to off-duty conduct. Earlier this month Police Commissioner Ian Stewart decided to revise the pay condition but Mr Hurley's police union legal team applied to the Supreme Court to reinstate it. They were successful in this bid on Monday, with the police commissioner's lawyers agreeing to an interim order to last until a hearing in early May. "I am pleased that common sense has prevailed and Senior Sergeant Chris Hurley is back on full pay," QPU President Ian Leavers said. Senior Sergeant Hurley was acquitted in 2007 of the death of Cameron Doomadgee on Palm Island." Read more: http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au//controversial-queensland-

17.01.2022 February 2, 2016 Bikie gang members claim police actions caused miscarriage PATCHED gang members claim police have abused their powers by pointing a rifle at a... teenagers head and causing a bikies wife to miscarriage from stress. Other members say the controversial anti-bikie laws have prevented them from attending funerals and birthday parties for fear of being nabbed. The allegations are contained in a series of submissions to Supreme Court Justice Alan Wilson, head of the taskforce reviewing the states VLAD legislation. A Rebels bikie told the commission he had a clean criminal record but the stress of a police raid and an association arrest caused his charity worker wife to miscarriage twice. My wife is the customer service manager and works at St Vinnies on the weekends, he wrote in the submission. Since these laws have come in, we have been raided for bike club paraphernalia, which we believe caused my wife to miscarry our child twice. Once after being raided and again after being arrested for association. The bikie said he was an avid environmentalist who recycled, kept a compost heap and conserved water. We pay rates, conserve water, recycle and composte (sic), he wrote. I spent eight days in the local watch house in my work clothes for associating (getting a ride home with mates) because the prosecutor is allowed to keep me for a week before a bail hearing. The anti-association laws were established after the infamous Broadbeach brawl in 2013 where about 50 Bandidos stormed a restaurant. Another former bikie complained he could not see his friends at funerals or birthday parties and a third bikie complained Taskforce Maxima officers pointed an assault rifle at his 13-year-old daughter during a raid. (There was an) illegal search at our home with up (to) 30 plain-clothed officers including masked gunmen ... (and) my 13-year-old daughter had an assault rifle pointed at her head. I was illegally detained in handcuffs, with four assault rifles pointed at me while officers searched our home and belongings for people and possessions that were not at our home. Another Rebels bikie member, who was found guilty of threatening people with a bat in a home invasion in 2014, complained he could no longer attend birthday parties with other bikies. These draconian laws have had adverse effects on my human rights, he wrote in the submission. I can no longer celebrate birthdays, anniversarys (sic), or even have the right to attend the funeral services of friends and loved ones under these laws. The Queensland Police Service declined to comment on the submission but Commissioner Ian Stewart has previously backed the laws. Mr Wilson, as chairmen of the Taskforce into the Organised Crime Legislation, is due to release a review into the VLAD laws on March 31. http://www.couriermail.com.au//f10777baf8bfe33637d614126c5

17.01.2022 26 January 2016 Article: "THE family of former Warwick policeman Mick Isles are considering legal action against the State Government, almost seven years after he was reported missing. Senior Sergeant Mick Isles was last seen at his north Queensland home on September 23, 2009.... Despite a coronial inquest in 2012 determining Snr Sgt Isles took his own life, his family have insisted all along foul play may have been involved. In December an appeal in the Brisbane District Court against the coroner's finding was dismissed. In his published reason for dismissing the appeal, Judge Douglas McGill said evidence to suggest ill will against Snr Sgt Isles could not justify "setting aside the finding of suicide". "Evidence that a particular senior police officer and his cronies may have been motivated by ill will against Senior Sergeant Isles may provide some evidence suggesting murder," he said. The missing policeman's son Steven Isles said the family would have to "agree to disagree" with the verdict. He said the family had endured "the ultimate contempt" and were considering action against the Queensland Government for "unnecessary pain and suffering" "The State Government must legally acknowledge that outside of the CMC investigation into Queensland Police Senior Sergeant Mick Isles there were no stressors in his life," Steven said. The Isles family have consistently made allegations of corruption in police investigations into Snr Sgt Isle's disappearance. With the support of two State Government MPs, the Isles family are pushing for an independent inquiry or royal commission into police corruption. While the family doesn't think a corruption enquiry or royal commission would shed much light on the fate of Snr Sgt Isles, family members are hopeful it could make a difference. "I think even though we may never physically find remains of my father through tabling publicly our concern of police corruption, we may be able to finish what Fitzgerald started," Mr Isles said. Steven said the family's quest for justice had been draining. "It's my father, it's family - we owe it to Dad as a family," he said. "It's not an obsession we handle it very professionally and very patiently. "I wouldn't wish it upon anyone." Snr Sgt Isles was a respected police officer who served in Warwick until 1989, before shifting to Ayr Police Station where we worked until his disappearance. "The old man was a very proud man who well and truly provided dedicated public service," Steven said."

16.01.2022 here is footage where a group of Cairns local police accidentally filmed themselves admitting that they enjoy locking people up on a Saturday morning so they ha...ve to spend the whole weekend in the watch house. One officer even advises the other officers that "if you catch them early enough, then just fucking hang onto them" another officer agrees thats a great idea so that they miss Saturday morning court and have to spend the whole weekend locked up. full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEKF2m3r4oU legal: How long you can be held in custody Without charge If you are detained for questioning about a serious offence (e.g. murder, rape, robbery, assault, and break and enter) without any charge, the police can hold you for up to 8 hours, but can only question you for up to 4 hours however police can apply to a magistrate to extend the period to 12 hours. The police must release you if they dont have enough evidence to charge you. With charge If you are charged, the police may release you on bail from the watch-house. Otherwise, they must take you to court as soon as possible and release you if the court grants bail. If the court refuses bail, you will be held in police custody until one of the following occurs: you are granted bail the charge against you is dropped you are found not guilty you are sentenced to a penalty other than imprisonment. If you are held in custody, the police will usually transfer you to the a remand centre within 2 weeks. legal source: http://www.legalaid.qld.gov.au//Being-held-in-police-custo like, share, comment

15.01.2022 Hi Supporters, We got this amazing inbox message and thought it important to share this officers experience "Witnessed countless assaults on members of the pub...lic" Thank you for your integrity - courage - transparency The statement received below from an ex police officer:- in 2001 I was stationed at the surfers paradise police station as a First year constable, I know Rick Flori who was stationed at the surfers Paradise Police station. I found him to be above board honest and helpful to all of us junior officers. At no time during my six months there did I see Rick belittle anyone . We all knew to bypass any of the other sgts as they were part of the "boys club" involved in bashing suspects and were of very dubious character. During my time at surfers station I was witness to countless assaults on members of the public by officers at that station and some were quite violent assaults by senior officers. I was appalled at the length senior officers went to in covering up assaults by officers on members of the public, at no time did I ever see Rick Flori involved in any of these assaults I am sure he was just appalled as I was. For Rick to do what he did is incredibly brave considering the boys club culture that is rife within the qld police service I commend him for speaking out as this has been going on for decades. thankfully after 6 months of witnessing bashing after bashing at the surfers station and the surfers police beat I was transferred to my permanent station at broadbeach . I took Ricks attitude with me and was always polite and calm when dealing with members of the public and I would also intervene if I thought an officer was being to heavy handed or a junior officer was being instructed the wrong way thanks to advice I had received from Rick. The Qld Police Service is a disgrace rife with corruption no direction given by those in high positions and to actually charge one of the long serving members with Misconduct for showing what some Police officers are really like is a joke . I can see the boys club is alive and well in the service. I witnessed this during my last 5 years at Maryborough station the bullying of staff by high ranking officers still occurs to this day. Stand your ground Rick because you know very well what the bosses are like. Good luck mate all the best you have my support.

15.01.2022 26 January 2016 A Trip Down Memory Lane and The bottle of Chivas That Blew Open The ~Fitzgerald Inquiry~ Two bottles of booze hanging over corruption hearings. Two government hangovers.... "While NSW premier Barry OFarrell has been laid low by a $3000 bottle of Penfold Grange, it was a bottle of Chivas Regal Royal Salute which blew open the Fitzgerald Inquiry in 1987, which led to the downfall of the Bjelke-Petersen government. Queensland police officer Col Dillon tendered the unopened bottle as evidence of corruption within the police licensing branch, telling the inquiry he found it sitting in his locked station locker one day. Not knowing what else to do with it, or who to turn to, Mr Dillon took the bottle home and lamented what it represented, until the Fitzgerald Inquiry gave him a chance to blow the whistle. Mr Dillons testimony, which broke the code of silence within Queensland police, had a domino effect eventually implicating then-police commissioner Terry Lewis in corrupt activities for which he was subsequently jailed. His bottle of whisky, encased in its green velvet pouch, still sits in a display case at the Crime and Misconduct Commission, along with other evidence, including a briefcase, which was tendered during the Fitzgerald Inquiry. Senior lecturer in politics and journalism at Griffith University, Paul Williams, said it paid for those in power to sweat the small stuff. Part of the problem might be that alcohol is a convenient, accepted gift within our culture, especially among politicians and business folk, he said. It is seen as a convenient, prestigious, blokey gift that works in business, professional and political networks. We have fairly low thresholds for declarations when a politician gets a gift, and it is precisely because even relatively small favours can make a politician beholden to the person providing that gift. It might seem a small thing, like a bottle of wine, and obviously in the OFarrell case it happens to have a large monetary value, but no one wants the perception that a politician is beholden. Dr Williams said Mr Dillons bottle of Chivas regal became a totem, a symbol during the Fitzgerald Inquiry, and predicted the 1959 bottle of Grange could have the same impact on the NSW ICAC hearing. It [the whisky] became a symbol of what was endemic within the police force back in the 1980s ... it became emblematic of what to do and what not to do, Dr Williams said. Mr Dillons contribution got the wheels turning on a much bigger investigation. ... It seems it is a lesson that they dont really quite learn, that people in a public office, especially today, with a media hungry, news hungry world, some might say pejoratively, that we live in a gotcha journalism world, the message seems to be lost that you are being watched, make sure you do the right thing, 24/7. ..source..

They advised against a permit application suggesting a refusal would make it difficult legally if we went ahead anyway. ... We eventually decided to take it to Queen St Mall. We were handing out leaflets warning women of the presences of these pro Rape guys in town and 3 people spoke (we had a small battery operated speaker). When the cops asked us to move on (no permit for a speaker) the male cop was very aggressive, hand on gun and said I had a minute to move on or he'd " get a bunch of cops down here real quick to drag us out of there." What sort of attitude is that, where I feel threatened for my safety by a cop. I tried to explain it was the council that suggested we not get a permit, but he just got more aggressive".

A Queensland police officer has been suspended from duty after domestic v...iolence allegations were levelled against him. Police issued a statement on Friday, saying a 37-year-old constable from the Intelligence, Counter-Terrorism and Major Events Command had been suspended. 'The officer is subject of a disciplinary investigation concerning allegations of domestic violence,' the statement said.

07.01.2022 February 2, 2016 Protective custody for Brisbane policeman accused of killing infant son A POLICE officer is understood to be in protective custody at a high-se...curity prison to shield him from potentially violent inmates after he was charged with murdering his infant son. Senior Constable Colin David Randall, 38, appeared in the dock with a shaved head and in prison-issue clothing, when his case was mentioned in the Brisbane Magistrates Court yesterday. He was remanded in custody. He is being held at the Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre, and sources have told The Courier-Mail it is protocol for current or former officers to be placed in protective custody away from other inmates. Randall has been under investigation since his two-month-old son died at his Victoria Point home, allegedly from head injuries, while alone with him in June, 2014. Randalls lawyer, Craig Pratt of legal firm Gilshenan & Luton, told the court he wanted the brief of evidence sooner rather than later. But Magistrate Elizabeth Hall did not make any specific orders relating to time frames. It can be noted that you are wanting the brief as soon as possible because its been a lengthy investigation, she said. It is understood police at first looked at whether the baby had died as a result of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, but an autopsy later allegedly detected serious head injuries. Police will allege that the Wynnum police officer fought with his wife beforehand and she had left the home. Randall has been suspended from duty on full pay since 2014, but a review of that in light of the murder charge is under way. Police Commissioner Ian Stewart said yesterday he had known about the investigation for some time. Im very grateful that they (the investigation team) have brought this to fruition, he said. Its now for the court to decide. The case is back in court next month. http://www.couriermail.com.au//f446f25c7fb41a04dd121932d19

07.01.2022 February 2, 2016 TWO Queensland Police officers have appeared in court after one allegedly threw a stapler at an accused criminal and the other stole groceries ...from Coles. Sergeant John Lloyd-Jones, 51, is facing one charge of assault with a weapon after a Crime and Corruption Commission investigation found he allegedly threw a stapler at man he was charging at the Richlands watch-house in August last year. Sergeant Lloyd-Jones did not enter a plea to the charge in the Brisbane Magistrates Court today, and it was adjourned for two weeks for negotiations with the prosecution. Another police officer, Senior Constable Kylie Anne Larfield, appeared in court straight after and pleaded guilty to stealing almost $80 worth of groceries and cosmetics at Coles Brookside in December last year. The court was told the 37-year-old was on extended medical leave from the police service when she used a self-service check-out at the store, scanning items in her right hand but not scanning the ones in her left. Her lawyer, Calvin Gnech from the Queensland Police Union, said she was going through a difficult time due to an incident while she was in the water police division. Mr Gnech said it was extremely out of character and she had an outstanding police record. Magistrate Anne Thacker said self-service check-outs were a bit of a mystery. Im a lawyer, Im a capable person ... it (using the check-outs) is a difficult thing to do when youre well, Ms Thacker said. She did not record a conviction and did not further punish the senior constable. http://www.couriermail.com.au//7a5fa0799ce011561c7aed424cd

07.01.2022 February 1, 2016 Police officer Colin David Randall in court over baby death A Queensland police officer charged with the murder of his baby son in 2014 has app...eared in court. Senior Constable Colin David Randall, 38, was charged with murder on Saturday after an 18-month investigation into the child's death.

They launched an investigation into the death a month later and Senior Constable Randall was stood down with full pay. He wasn't on duty when his son died.

Senior Constable Randall appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday. The bald man with a tattoo on his right arm sat with his hands in his lap as his matter was heard. As he was charged with murder, the officer was unable to apply for bail until the hearing reached a higher court. He was remanded in custody for the charge to be heard again on March 14 He will not be required to appear. Senior Constable Randall's solicitor, Craig Pratt, asked that a brief of evidence be prepared as soon as possible given the lengthy investigation. www.brisbanetimes.com.au//police-officer-colin-david-randa

02.01.2022 4 February 2016 VLAD Laws Submission Told Bikie Laws Could Create Police Corruption. SURPRISE SURPRISE! THE influential Bar Association has warned the states controversial anti-bikie laws are fraught with the risk of police corruption and has cast doubts over the validity of official crime statistics.... The shock claims are contained in a submission by the association which represents the States barristers, to the Wilson Inquiry. In the associations view, solutions that rely on resorting to anti-association legislation, control orders and special police powers are fraught with risks of police corruption and should not be adopted by the State of Queensland, the Bar Association wrote in a submission to former Supreme Court Justice Alan Wilson, QC, the man reviewing the states VLAD laws. The Association expressly advises the government to avoid legislation ... which in essence establishes anti-association laws, relying on inadequate forms of proof, such as criminal intelligence. (It) enhances the risk of police corruption and raises the serious risk of forcing organised crime underground where it is even more difficult to detect. The powerful legal fraternity also recommended the State Government establish an independent body to conduct research and compile data for the Queensland Police Service. The association said the body was needed to make sure resources were being allocated fairly and policymakers were being given correct information No government agency exists to provide that evidence to the public service agencies, to Parliament or to the public, the submission said. The Association would urge the Inquiry to recommend a body like BOCSAR (Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, NSW) to ensure that policy making in the future will have access to trusted information so that evidence based policy making has the opportunity to become a reality in Queensland. The QPS declined to comment on the Bar Associations submission. Queensland Law Society president and prominent Gold Coast Lawyer Bill Potts backed calls for an independent crime statistics body to make sure resources were not being wasted. For there to be a proper and transparent process for assessing laws and allocating resources, such independent body would be of significant benefit, he said. The report would suggest the resources have been overfocused on the motorcycle issue to the detriment of domestic violence scourge. While there would be outrage from the QPS and various parts of parliament, such a bureau would be of significant assistance. Mr Wilson, as chairmen of the Taskforce into the Organised Crime Legislation, is due to release a review into the VLAD laws on March 31. ..source.. couriermail
