Opinions 4

Allegations are not findings. A commission's finding or opinion of corrupt conduct or misconduct is not a finding that a person is guilty of a criminal offence, and the commissions say so in their reports.

    Opinion

    The Commission has formed an opinion of police misconduct relating to Const Miatke's neglect in preparation of the memorandum and witness statement.

    CCC - Report on Misconduct by Geraldton police officers, page 36

  2. opinion of serious misconduct; opinion of police misconduct

    Opinion

    The Commission has formed an opinion of serious misconduct and an opinion of police misconduct.

    CCC - Report on Misconduct by Geraldton police officers, page 48

  3. opinion of serious misconduct

    Opinion

    In the Commission's opinion, inaccuracies in the use of force report and witness statement by S/C Wyndham mean an opinion of serious misconduct is appropriate.

  4. opinion of police misconduct

    Opinion

    In the Commission's opinion Const Miatke's memorandum to Inspector Keen and the witness statement were prepared so neglectfully that an opinion of police misconduct is appropriate.

Notes on this record

  • Report type assigned by OPAX from the title; the Commission tags every listing item Report.
  • Date is the date the Commission's report page was published; the report states no date OPAX read.
  • An opinion that misconduct has occurred is not, and is not to be taken as, a finding or opinion that a person has committed a criminal or disciplinary offence (Corruption, Crime and Misconduct Act 2003, s 217A; s 23 in reports made under the Act as first enacted).

Coverage

This publisher

  • The Commission's website has no copyright or licence page; reports carry the Commission's copyright notice (fair dealing only), so OPAX keeps short verbatim extracts with citations and links the original PDFs.
  • Only the reports listing (/publications/reports) is covered. Annual reports, quarterly reports filed under /quarterly-reports, media releases and news items are not report records.
  • The listing date is the date the Commission's page was created; the record date is the report's cover date or the tabling date stated on the page where one is given, and the listing date only as a fallback.
  • Opinions are extracted only where the Commission states them in a sentence on a single page; opinions in older reports framed differently, or split over a page break, are not extracted (findings not_extracted).
  • No text layer, no OCR: scanned reports have no extracted opinions or recommendations.
