Westpac bank mortgage fraud

Mortgagee auctions in Australia a more common than most people are led to believe, with the corporate media playing the matter down, not in the business of exposing the backroom deals of the untouchable banking elite.

Westpac bank is touted as Australia’s first bank naturally brought over from mother England, with links to the Rothschilds banking family.

Information from the ‘archives’ has been obtained by corpau of how the (Westpac) bank is involved in property theft, which includes mortgagee auctions, that are deliberately devalued by real estate agents, sold under auction for over 100’s of thousands of dollars less than the true market value, to buyers that have been put in place to specifically purchase the property for the devalued amount.

In cases where customers have more than one property with the bank, e.g. the matrimonial home and investment properties, the bank is involved with the falsifying of documents including forged signatures of the parties concerned, regarding the transfer to one owner.

In many cases the fraud goes undetected by the aggrieved party, only to find out that they do not own the asset any longer many years later.

Letters seen by corpau to and from Westpac indicate a cover up of not only facts, but also any records of the transactions ever existing, with total lack of co-operation from the bank.

An anonymous source from within the bank has mentioned that Westpac make a tidy profit from ‘this business’, which is well known within the banking industry and is not limited to the Westpac bank, but also involves the ANZ , Commonwealth and NAB banks as well.

When reported to police, these matters are usually not taken any further, as this policy is an order from the top.

Any court matters that are presented before the ‘County Court’ have to be agreed on by both parties before they are listed as matters.

The ‘County Court of Victoria’ is a privately owned and operated business with the ABN of 32 790 288 959, which has nothing to do with ‘law’ but rather is based on ‘contractual agreement’ between the listed entities, is owned and operated by the Liberty Group, stakeholder names like ABN Amro, Rothschilds and many more operating under ‘shelf’ companies for the sole purpose of tax evasion, an act which is supported by the Australian government, but illegal for the general populous to perform.

Joseph Antoun death by gunfire reveals ugly world of debt collecting and criminals

WHEN debt collector Joseph Antoun opened the door of his Sydney home early this week and was shot five times, no one was surprised - except him. 
 
He lived in the dangerous world of debt collecting but thought his reputation and connections made him untouchable. He was obviously wrong and, just like his business associate Vasko Boskovski, he was executed by a professional hitman.

Antoun's murder last Monday and Boskovski's in July has opened up a list of suspects that would fill the Entertainment Centre, as Sydney businessman Jim Byrnes quipped this week when told his protagonist Antoun was dead.

It has also exposed a murky world where debt collecting is big business - and a shady one - especially when you deal in millions.

Murdered Sydney businessman Michael McGurk was known as a violent standover man, albeit in a suit, who lived on the north shore and would buy debts confident he could recover them using his own brand of tactics.

The most common practice was for commissions to be paid to those offering to collect the debt on behalf of the client.

Respectable businesses have been known to use collection agencies who then employ less desirable types to get the money.

Antoun dabbled in debt collection - and just generally ripping people off. He was a well-known thug with a criminal record but had recently taken to using the Brothers for Life gang to do his dirty work.

Police confirmed their investigation into Antoun's murder includes Brothers for Life.

"But there are a lot of other people who may have wanted him dead," they added.

According to police, Antoun and Boskovki had links beyond the normal Sydney criminal milieu.
"If you look deeper you will find connections to figures in the Melbourne underworld as well, especially with Antoun.''

The lesser known Boskovski has been linked to a convicted Sydney Muslim terrorist.

There is some speculation their murders are a result of their switch from employing Brothers for Life as muscle to another group linked to Muslim crime groups.

Both gangs are well known to the Middle Eastern Crime Squad.

The other theory doing the rounds of the Sydney underworld is Antoun and another of his associates had been hauled in to the NSW Crime Commission for questioning more than once over the past few months.

Other crims get nervous when people like Antoun are under the glare of the all-powerful Crime Commission, who have the power to jail people simply for not answering questions. Many fellow criminals fear they are likely to cut a deal and give them up. That makes them a target to be silenced.

The pair were known to be loving family men who lived fairly unpretentious lives in simple suburban Sydney homes.

Sydney businessman Jim Byrnes has already told police he had been involved in a soured business deal with Antoun and named him as being behind a drive-by shooting of his home, vandalism of his offices and cars and assaults on his staff.

"I have never said I wanted Joe Antoun dead. I had hoped up until the news of his death that he would be arrested and charged with crimes arising from complaints I had made of Mr Antoun of arranging the drive-by shooting at my house and arranging for the assault of a colleague in Queensland and destroying my Sydney admin office and assaulting staff,'' he said.

"I had hoped that some years of incarceration may give him time to reflect on his actions."

Byrnes said he had settled the dispute with Antoun, paying him "f … off" money.

"A commercial settlement was agreed to settle any claims Antoun might have tried to bring in the future,'' Byrnes said.

"In all honesty, these claims would have been vigorously defended and were without merit, however while both corporately and personally we have a zero tolerance for thuggery, intimidation and demanding money with menace, we were extremely mindful of the toll Mr Antoun's actions had caused to families, including my own, the sheer lack of productivity based on the huge wasted time and effort dealing with heightened security, investigations, legal options and other advice. So, in order to obtain closure on the dispute, a settlement was negotiated and agreed.

"Our various company interest have now tightened corporate governance so these forms of attacks can never lead to the corporate sabotage brought about by Mr Antoun and his partner in crime.''

He said the man was a chameleon whose personality could turn on the drop of a hat.
"I first met Antoun in the company of an associate and others. Although in shorts, running shoes and long-sleeve
T-shirt he had a rather brutish appearance but he had a very polite manner and was courteous, respectful and polite,'' Byrnes said.

"I would however, some months later when we disagreed on an agreed terms of a purchase, that I began to understand that Antoun had two very different sides.

"Antoun could have a most intimidating demeanour when angry. To say I felt uncomfortable would be an understatement.''

Byrnes expected to be questioned by police over Antoun's death but, according to detectives, it may be some time before they get around to him. There are plenty of other suspects.

Jim Byrnes writes exclusively about his dealings with slain standover man Joseph Antoun.

What the corporate media fail to disclose is that debt collection in Australia IS 'unlawful'.

ANY debt collection agency CAN be dealt with in a manner that can dissolve the debt, in a 'lawful' manner.

Corpau will be posting the information regards to debt collection in the How To / How the post label.

This is all part of the 'Financial Terrorism' policy supported by the 'authorities'.

The police are also part of the 'debt collection' scam against the people of Australia.

  • The police swear an oath to the 'Queen', but are at the disposal of corporations in order to enslave the masses to 'corporate rule' rather than the Common Law and 'Constitutional' freedoms Australian citizens truly have.

The new policy is to criminalise as many citizens as possible, so that they have a 'police record' in order to control / limit options and (free) movement.

The effect is that the media verbosely denotes that (Victorian) jails are overflowing, and other makeshift measures have to be implemented.

ID scanners put thousands at risk of identity theft

CONTROVERSIAL ID scanners are failing to curb assaults in nightclubs and could be used by crime gangs to target hundreds of thousands of Victorians. 

Researchers at Deakin University want ID scanners to be banned until privacy legislation is introduced to protect clubgoers, who are ­unknowingly putting themselves at risk of identity fraud.

Up to 60 venues in Victoria have introduced the technology since 2007, recording personal details of thousands of Victorians every weekend.

Associate professor of criminology Darren Palmer said there was a high risk of data being misused by crime gangs. He called for strict regulations, similar to the rules ­applied to CCTV data.

"You have people introducing scanners that have no regulation and are fundamental threats to privacy,'' Dr Palmer said.

"You have got the potential for misuse of these databases, unlike CCTV.

"Some of these clubs in Melbourne are big and attract thousands of people per night.''

Security industry experts said data collected by scanners could be used by crime gangs to commit identity fraud, track rival criminals, and identify the home addresses of applicants for restraining orders, as well as target public ­officials and police officers.

James Talia, a spokesman for Crime Prevention Minister Edward O'Donohue, would not say whether the State Government would support a moratorium on nightclub scanners.

"The Coalition Government urges licensees to act ­responsibly and with common sense when it comes to data ­acquired through the use of ID scanners," he said.

The Australian Institute of Criminology study aimed to investigate the effect of scanners on alcohol-related violence.

Data on assaults in Geelong from 2004-2009 showed violence increased after scanners were introduced, raising doubt about their role in reducing crime.

Researchers discovered some clubs voluntarily deleted information after 28 days, while others had no policy.

heraldsun.com.au 20 Dec 2013

Since the introduction of the 'compulsory' I.D. scanner in nightclubs of Melbourne, criminal gangs have been using information to commit criminal activities ranging from false identities to mail box theft of letters targeted  for the sole purpose of fraud in the name of the patrons.

Corpau has been made aware of several night clubs that are run by criminal organisations with the help of corrupt police as support for the illegal activities, which involves police accepting (financial) bribes, drugs as well as prostitutes for payment.

Even exposing the corrupt police to the 'Anti-Corruption Commission' results in the police being not only exonerated from any criminal activities, but the well being of the 'whistle blower' is in jeopardy, which usually leads to further assaults by police at a later point in time, seeming not related to any other incident.

The so called IBAC (Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission) backs the corrupt police it is supposed to investigate AND allegedly prosecute.

All part of the 'Nanny State' policy to oppress the masses.

A similar article has been written in September of 2012

http://corpau.blogspot.com.au/2012/09/id-scans-raise-privacy-fears.html

Apparently a well advertised (government) campaign for internet censorship is to curb money laundering, by the masses, yet police do very little with regards to well known and sometimes highly visible money laundering businesses such as certain night clubs, cafés, pizza restaurants, kebab restaurants or even gambling venues operated by well known criminals.

In Australia $200 million exchanges hands every week in relation to the production, transportation and selling of drugs.

The police, and other heads of state are involved in this multi-million dollar crime ring.

Google's list of banned words

Safe texting: Get out the thesaurus, Google doesn't recognise 'condoms'. Photo: Robert Banks

Google recently released a new version of its keyboard for Android, and as reported in Wired, it comes along with a list of 1400 words "that Google has quietly deemed inappropriate for Android users". This means that Android's dictionary will not autocomplete these words, no matter the context.

Unsurprisingly, many of the words are sex-related, but the scope of the prudery here is rather shocking. It's not just that you have to type out all three letters when you write sex in a text message. The dictionary also refuses to autocomplete words like Tampax, butt and even condom, which could tragically lead lazy people to resort to the word rubber for their contraception needs-based texts.

Clearly, this is a tragic blow to the world of unintentional comedy caused by autocorrect in text messages. I don't know about you, but I don't want to live in a world where a woman can't accidentally text "Chicken vaginas n butch gobbler pirates" to her kid when she meant to say that dinner will be chicken fajitas and buttered potatoes.

However, there are political implications here as well. While Google has long had good reasons to ban "a frat party's worth of homophobia and misogyny", as Jon Christian at Wired puts it, the ban on autocompleting words for body parts and functions like uterus and lactation reinforces the idea that there's something shameful about having these kinds of body parts and functions at all.
There are more questionable choices in the ban list. Some genius at Google decided to put geek on the no-no list. And for no discernible reason, Sunni and Iftar are banned, though no other religious words appear to be. So if you are inclined to think these choices aren't politically loaded, well.

But back to icky sex. Other banned words include STI; if you want to do the responsible thing and communicate with your partner about sexually transmitted infections, you better type it all out, or call. Preggers is also a not OK. Google prefers "with child".

An absolute appalling display of censorship, from a company that allegedly promotes 'free speech'.

Why I cover my iPhone and laptop camera and why you should too

COMMENT

Almost all of us use an electronic device with a camera on a daily basis.
I, like many others, close the blinds at night, so I figured I should probably put some sort of blind on my devices if I cared about my privacy.  
Be they on a smartphone, laptop or desktop computer, these cameras follow us everywhere.
What might surprise you though is that they can be used to spy on you remotely, and that the warning lights can be disabled.
Perhaps you're reading this article using a smartphone while on the toilet (almost a third of people admit to surfing the web there).

Now think again about that camera staring back at you. Where else do you position your computer, tablet or smartphone's camera, and what might someone see if they watched you constantly? Perhaps it's your bedroom antics, your daily nude stroll around the house or you picking your nose.

Because of this, and following an article I wrote about IT security experts using Post-it notes, electrical tape, Band-Aids and cigarette papers to secure their computer web cameras from hackers, I started covering up the cameras of my two laptops, desktop and smartphone in April. This was in addition to already making use of anti-virus and other security software on my devices. A New York Times security writer also recently divulged that they did this too.

I, like many others, close the blinds at night, so I figured I should probably put some sort of blind on my devices if I cared about my privacy. When I needed to use them for video conferencing or the occasional "selfie", I could just take the tape off. It made perfect sense, even though it wasn't as practical as I had hoped.

Friends and work colleagues who saw the tape over my mobile's front- and back-facing camera laughed at me and called me "paranoid" and "crazy". This was about two months before revelations concerning mass surveillance conducted by the world's Western spy agencies came out.

I wrote the April article after reading another one about a 17-year-old boy from NSW's mid-north coast who, when he was 14, began hacking into peoples' computers using a program called Remote Administration Tools and remotely activating their web cameras. Discussion threads on forums discussing the use of such tools, or "RATs", overflow with webcam screenshots, to celebrate both "hot female slaves" and "ugly slaves".

While writing the April article, I was reminded of a family friend who permanently used a greeting card to cover their external web camera, and of another article a former colleague of mine wrote in 2010 at ZDNet about a pioneer of public-key cryptography using tape over his laptop's web camera.

I recalled calling these people paranoid and crazy too. That was because they used Apple MacBooks, which uses a web camera that most people have understood to be "hard-wired" to the green light in a way that means that if it's in use it is illuminated so that you know it's active.

But new research from Johns Hopkins University in the US provides the first public confirmation that it's possible to covertly activate a MacBook's camera – without triggering the light – and demonstrates how. While the research focused on MacBook and iMacs released before 2008, the authors say similar techniques would probably work on more recent computers from a wide variety of vendors.

In fact, evidence already exists on hacker forums about people who have successfully been able to disable the warning light of web cameras on a number of vendors' device without much difficulty. Even a former FBI agent admitted recently that the agency has been capable of doing it for several years.

A US school was also found in 2010 to have, apparently accidentally, stored 30,000 laptop webcam images and 27,000 screenshot images while students were either at school or at home. Closer to home, schools using government-supplied laptops in Queensland were in May last year found by the Courier Mail newspaper to have software on them that took time-stamped screenshots, monitored printing, visits to websites and keystrokes of students.

Fairfax Media also reported last year that Melbourne-based Rentasaur leased laptops with software on them that tracked a user's location and had the capability to capture imagery.

So should you tape your web camera too or is it like putting your head in the sand? It's up to you, but you need to be able to make an informed decision. Don't consider it a crazy act: Vulnerabilities exist in devices and security can be reverse-engineered. And don't think that just because you use Apple or any other brand you're safe.

Now I just need to find a practical way of taping up the microphones... glue anyone?

ALL current operating systems have 'backdoors' that enable 'agencies' to control and view information of the user.

The menthod of gaining 'unauthorised' access to personal computers is taught at the top secret Israeli 'hacking school'.

Gross breaches of privacy occur on a daily basis with no consequences and in most cases go undetected by the target.

Authorities are quick to punish and incarerate alleged illegal computer activities, an action they themselves condone.

The 'system' does not punish the 'system' for illegal activities.

Spain data protection watchdog fines Google over privacy violation


SPAIN's data protection watchdog ordered internet giant Google yesterday to pay a fine of Euro900,000 ($1.38 million) for serious violations of users' privacy, after six months of legal action. 
 
The Spanish Data Protection Agency accused the popular search provider of "illegal processing of personal data" obtained from users of various services such as Gmail accounts.

"Google unlawfully collects and processes personal information" of users, the agency said.

"The agency considers that Google seriously violates the right to the protection of personal data."

It ordered Google to pay Euro300,000 for each of three counts of breaching Spain's data protection law and ordered it to bring its privacy policy in line with legal norms.

It said Google's privacy policy did not clearly inform users of how it uses data collected, for example information from emails that is gathered to generate targeted advertising. It also accused Google of keeping the data for longer than legally justified and of making it difficult for users to query the use of their data.

Google has repeatedly stated that its privacy policy respects European law, despite investigations in several countries.

The Spanish DPA launched proceedings against Google in June. In September, France too said it would take action against the company, accusing it of breaching privacy norms. Authorities in Germany, Italy, The Netherlands and Britain have also opened parallel actions.

Like other technology giants, Google has come under scrutiny following revelations of online eavesdropping by US and other intelligence agencies.

However, a survey conducted for the Computer & Communications Industry Association found that internet users are more concerned about the theft of personal and financial information than about online privacy and tracking by marketers.

Google does work for the U.S. authorities in terms of collecting personal information, so that 'profiling' can be made on every single person.

Naturally there are all sorts of denials and cover ups, but the reality is quite different from the 'official' versions.

More Corrupt Cops - Police caught drink-driving avoid axe

Just four officiers of 166 caught drink-driving in the previous decade have been sacked. Source: News Limited
 
SANCTIONS against police caught drink-driving are being kept secret, despite a promised crackdown by Chief Commissioner Ken Lay. 

As police focus on festive season drink-drivers, the Herald Sun can reveal at least 30 police have been caught drink-driving in the past two years, with blood-alcohol levels of up to four times the legal limit.

Not one officer is known to have been sacked since Mr Lay's 2010 promise to get tough with drink-driving cops.

And Victoria Police has sacked just four officers of 166 caught drink-driving in the previous decade. None of the other 162 were demoted.

At the time, Mr Lay said the force's approach was not aggressive enough and all drink-driving officers would now face sanctions, with officers caught more than double the legal limit facing the sack.

Ten sworn police, a PSO and a police public servant were caught drink-driving in 2012, while a sergeant refused a breath test after being found drunk behind the wheel, according to records released under Freedom of Information laws.

But the force has refused to disclose the blood-alcohol content or disciplinary action against these offenders, despite having freely provided this ­information previously and ­releasing similar information about two officers caught drink-driving in the past two weeks.

A spokeswoman said new Assistant Commissioner for Professional Standards Command, Stephen Leane, had decided this information could be sought only through a further FoI request.

While figures for 2013 remain unknown, two off-duty sergeants were caught over the limit at booze buses in the first two weeks of December.

One recorded an alleged blood-alcohol level of 0.059in Ringwood on Saturday night and the other allegedly recorded .092 when pulled over in Rye the Saturday before.

Both were fined $433 and lost 10 demerit points, with the second officer losing his licence for six months.
Both face internal disciplinary action.

Of the 12 sworn members and three public servants caught above the limit in 2011, none were sacked despite four blowing more than twice the legal limit.

When the Herald Sun reported the 2011 figures last year, the fate of those four officers was not known.
In May, the force confirmed a senior constable who took extended sick leave after being caught at 0.206 - more than four times the limit - resigned while under investigation.

news.com.au 22 Dec 2013

Another display to the masses that the corrupt police 'force' is above the law.

The CEO, Ken Lay of the business known as Victoria Police (ABN:63 446 481 493) should be sacked, but what are the chances of that actually happening?

What the authorities do not want you to know:

  • Victoria Police is a registered business operating for profit for the government.

  • Victoria Police works for corporations and does not serve the public as perceived by some.

  • You are fined, penalised or incarcerated NOT under 'law' but rather 'contractual obligation' with the various businesses e.g. VicRoads, etc.

  • You are branded a 'criminal' and can be arrested for not paying a bill (invoice).

40 million at risk after Target card heist

Payment details from up to 40 million credit cards could have been stolen after they were used in the stores of US retail giant Target.

The retailer said it was investigating after discovering that thieves had gained access to its payment systems.
The data breach began around 29 November, known as Black Friday, one of the busiest shopping days of the year.

The attackers are believed to have been scooping up credit card details for almost three weeks.

"We take this matter very seriously and are working with law enforcement to bring those responsible to justice," said Target boss Gregg Steinhafel in a statement.

In addition, he said, the company was working with a data forensics firm to work out how the theft occurred.
Data-stealing code
 
Target said the thieves had taken credit card numbers, names, expiration dates and security codes for the cards.

It urged people who shopped at its stores in the vulnerable period to check credit card records and query unusual activity.

"We regret any inconvenience this may cause," said Mr Steinhafel.

Security researcher Brian Krebs, writing about the breach, said sources at credit card payment processing firms had told him the thieves had installed data-stealing code on to card-swipe machines at tills in all 1,797 Target stores.

It is not yet clear how the attackers managed to get their malicious program on to point-of-sale equipment in the stores.

The thieves stole data between Thanksgiving and 15 December, said Target.

The US Secret Service, which has official responsibility for investigating financial fraud, told Reuters it was looking into the breach.

The largest ever credit card breach at a US retailer took place in 2007 when cyber-thieves managed to steal information related to almost 46 million credit and debit cards from TJ Maxx and Marshalls.

The thieves amassed the huge cache of data over an 18 month period after penetrating the retailers' computer network.

Comments from the original article:

Interestingly enough, I work for a credit card processing company. I also happened to shop at Target over the course of Black Friday. My thoughts, as we move into a world where electronic payment methods are becoming more widely used, we must take a step back and evaluate why they are so convenient in the fist place. This convenience is obviously coming at a cost, and that cost is our privacy. This goes into the broader discussion of how the web has been used and is currently used to illicit intimate details of individuals. Getting back to the matter at hand, Target should have definitely invested more money in its security infrastructure, but at what point is security considered to be adequate? Will the 'hackers' always be one step ahead? Time can only tell, but my guess, this is an ongoing threat that will never truly be resolved completely. Omar Khalid, Astoria

More Corrupt Cops - Police change defence after video turns up

A group of police officers who allegedly broke the leg of an arts student and told her ''we don't care if it's legal'' have been allowed to change their defence at the eleventh hour after CCTV footage of the assault emerged.

Rachel Gardner is suing the NSW police force claiming she was kicked, sat on, handcuffed, pushed against a fence, loaded into a paddy wagon and then dumped at a nearby train station without charge after being caught without a train ticket on March 13, 2011.

Police initially denied the kick occurred but sought to amend their defence in the Sydney District Court on Monday, minutes before the beginning of a five-day trial, after Ms Gardner's legal team revealed they had obtained CCTV footage from Cronulla station.

On Tuesday, Judge Sharron Norton lambasted the force's barrister Matthew Hutchings for presenting an "entirely different" defence document on the morning of the trial but she allowed it and deferred the trial to November.

Ms Gardner, 36, was at Cronulla station with two tourist friends just before midnight when they were approached by transit officers and found to be without tickets.

An altercation ensued when the tourists couldn't produce identification and police attended. Ms Gardner claims that when she protested that one of the tourists was being pinned to the ground by a transit officer, Acting Sergeant Craig Sands kicked both her legs out from under her, breaking her right leg.

In her statement of claim, it is alleged Sergeant Sands then directed a transit officer to sit on her while she was lying face down on the platform before she was handcuffed, told she was under arrest and put in a paddy wagon.

When she objected to what she believed was an unlawful arrest, an officer said ''we don't care if this is legal'', the statement said. Ms Gardner was not taken to a police station and charged. Instead, she was driven to Sutherland railway station and ''left to fend for herself in a seriously injured condition''.

She is seeking damages of up to $750,000 for the injuries as well as the humiliation, disgrace, mental suffering, emotional distress, fear and anxiety, loss of social status and inconvenience caused by assault, false arrest and false imprisonment. A doctor's report says she will likely develop osteoarthritis within five to 10 years.

Her aspirations to become a filmmaker would also be hindered as well as attempts to get casual work while studying at the University of NSW College of Fine Arts, the court heard. Barrister Geoffrey Petty, SC, said the only record of the incident was a standard internal log that was ''brief in the extreme''. He said CCTV footage showed the kick ''as plain as daylight'' and also showed the officers chatting on the station as Ms Gardner limped away.

The police initially denied all Ms Gardner's claims and said she bit and kicked officers.

Mr Hutchings said this was because Ms Gardner's statement of claim was so vague and void of detail that it prevented them investigating the claims and preparing a proper response.

The trial will begin in November.

Another exposure of corrupt cops, which are not only untouchable but protected from prosecution by the corporation known as the police.

Perth cop's anger goes viral in video




Facebook photos of John Gds Martin, who posted the secretly filmed video of a police officer on his page.

Facebook photos of John Gds Martin, who posted the secretly filmed video of a police officer on his page.WA Police have confirmed they are investigating a video showing a heated confrontation between a traffic officer and a member of the public which has gone viral on Facebook.

The 45-second video shows an officer responding aggressively to comments made by the member of the public filming the incident.

The man was stopped by the first-class constable for riding a bike without a helmet in Forrestfield about 2.30pm on Tuesday.

At a press conference in Perth on Wednesday morning police confirmed they were investigating a video posted on Facebook by 'John Gds Martin' and that the constable had been spoken to by his direct supervisor.

The 45-second video shows an officer responding aggressively to comments by a member of the public.
The video, shared through the Facebook page "50 shades of straya", has been liked more than 15,000 times, shared more than 500 times and has received more than 4000 comments in the 14 hours since it was posted.

Inspector Dom Wood said the officer could have dealt with the situation in a more appropriate manner.

"The officer has admitted he could have dealt with things more appropriately and he is going to be spoken to about that," he said.

"We have to make it quite clear that this is a small snippet we saw on Facebook, we haven't seen the entirety of the incident so we have to look into it further.

"This is extremely rare, we don't get these incidents too often.

"This officer has come across someone who has pushed his buttons and tried to get a reaction.

"The officer wouldn't have known he was being recorded in those circumstances."

Inspector Wood would not rule out WA Police taking disciplinary action against the officer.

WA Police Union president George Tilbury said the work of a police officer could sometimes be stressful and agreed that the full circumstances of this particular incident were not yet known.
"Our members interact with the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week and on some of these occasions the situation can be quite frustrating and stressful," he said.
"As the full video has not been uploaded and the entirety of the circumstances are unknown, it is very difficult to comment on the actions of the officer.
"However, police officers should always do their utmost to portray a professional image, which can be difficult given that they are under more scrutiny than any other profession.
"Our members need to be aware that in this modern age of technology their actions and interactions with the public will be filmed, often without their knowledge or permission.”

watoday.com.au 20 Nov 2013

A legal fact that is often omitted is 
 - that the police can be recorded with or without their knowledge or permission.

The authorities do not want the general populous to be aware of this fact in order not to expose the corrupt dealing of the police 'force', which can be used as  evidence in the 'law' courts.

The police will try to intimidate in any way possible in order  for a member of the public not to record any incident.

This is all part of the bigger picture of the new and rising Police State of Australia.

Another corrupt copper being shielded behind the 'corporation' known as the police.
