Everyone should watch this. This is the New South Wales police in action, bashing the fuck out of someone then lying about it under oath.
Senior Constable Hill said video tapes of the incident were damaged and could not be used.
However, when the damaged tapes were obtained by the police prosecutor and repaired during Mr Barker's assault hearing, they showed that no assault had taken place.
The video shows another police officer, Senior Constable Ryan Eckersley, kicking Mr Barker in the head area while he was on the ground, and a third officer, Lee Walmsley, kneeing him in the side.
In a judgment handed down last month, Mr Heilpern said: ''It was crystal clear that the defendant at no time punched Senior Constable Hill in the nose as described.''
He found the officers Hill and Walmsley had colluded before giving evidence to the court, and that the latter had then lied under oath in an effort to cover it up.
Mr Heilpern said the incident had ''debased the administration of justice''.
''It is hard to imagine a clearer example of bad faith than initiating proceedings on the basis of an allegation of an assault that simply did not occur,'' the magistrate said.
He said the damage to the CCTV footage was ''suspicious''.
''It beggars belief that the video just happened to be unavailable for that incident. The problem is not recorded in the [police] register, despite Senior Constable Hill saying that it was.''

What vile thugs. And why aren't they being taken to the Supreme Court and getting done for lying under oath? I bet if any other member of the public lied like that in court they'd not get such light treatment. I hope the Police Integrity Commission throws the fuckin book at them. They should be sacked.
This is just the ones who've been caught. There's no fuckin way this is the first time they've done anything like that.
