Petition updateCivilian oversight and changes to police misconduct and corruption investigations

THE 'BLUE CURTIN OF SILENCE' IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL WITHIN QUEENSLAND POLICE FOLKS

As the attached article says, 25,000 complaints about corruption THIS YEAR against Queensland Police! WOW, JUST WOW!

Many people have come forward with their own stories of having their complaints 'investigated' by Queensland Police themselves - getting no where - EVEN WHEN THEY HAVE EVIDENCE.

When one makes a complaint against a Qld Police Officer, one of the first questions they ask is "do you have a recording or video of the incident"....

Don't be fooled folks, this is code for "do they have any evidence we might be embarrassed about when we find for the officer".... This was certainly my own experience where I had a recording of an assault - then a conspiracy to cover the matter up.

Think your case would then be investigated by the Crime and Corruption Commission? THINK AGAIN. They refer the vast majority of maters back to QPS to investigate themselves. 

It seems like the approach they use is "PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY" folks. This means, "DON'T BOTHER INVESTIGATING PROPERLY IF WE CAN POSSIBILY GET AWAY WITH IT".

Please help us. Today we have reached over 18,000 SIGNATURES - quite a mile stone, but we want more in order to send a very clear message to Queensland Police and the Queensland Government that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. It is time for Civilians - you know the very people that the Government and Police are supposed to be "SERVING" to oversight Police Complaints.

Please share share share - promote among your networks and share the link to this petition anywhere it will get attention.
