On a more serious note, I would like to believe that Police have more integrity that what was described, especially here in NZ and I would very much like to believe they could not be manipulated into doing something like this (if he is telling the truth). However I do not have the same level of trust in those above the police who make the decisions. You only have to look at the likes of Cahill, and O'Conner to realise the slag and dross usually rises to the top.... If this gents claims are correct and the frontline officers are doing what he describes, then is it because the officer believe what they have been told by those in charge? And do we not have some sort of checks / balances to ensure the safety and integrity of our system. This does smell like an abuse of power, but how much s true and how much is not, it is hard to tell.

I suspect this is not an isolated case, nor that the convicted perpetrator acted alone, but rather that he was a bully among bullies, acting in a (blue) mob and taking the fall. Let the word go round down the station that such and such is an arsehole and we should be careful of him - and you suddenly get a lot of cop cars driving past that person's house, checking around his business, etc. and all without any paper trail or conspiracy. Get on the wrong side of the force and you may discover that neither the MM or BP are the biggest patched gang in the country. Yes, it smells.
