About this episode
A string of recent incidents involving the use of force has raised questions about the way in which Australian police wield power, and how these incidents are investigated.
The officer who allegedly Tasered a 95-year old woman, Clare Nowland, is in court next month and is expected to fight the charges.
Meanwhile, a Queensland police officer was caught on video punching and Tasering a man who’d been in a car crash, and will be investigated by an internal police standards body.
Today, contributor to The Monthly and criminal defence lawyer Russell Marks, on the use of force and the relationship between the police and the public.
