The name of the Strike Force sort of gives it away !
The Australian Lawyers Weekly reports..
Following reports that a police task force harassed a solicitor on the morning of a trial, the NSW Law Society has labelled the targeting “unacceptable” and called on the police commissioner to take further action against the officers involved.
Two officers working within task force Strike Force Raptor, and acting on the orders of a third, targeted a small-town solicitor with “deliberate, deceitful and malicious” harassment on the morning of a trial. While targeting tools can be effectively used in some instances, a commission found on this occasion the conduct was “disgraceful”.
In a statement issued to Lawyers Weekly, Law Society of NSW president Juliana Warner confirmed that she has written to the police Commissioner Michael Fuller APM on behalf of the legal profession with her concerns about the conduct uncovered in the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission (LECC) report.
