Father locked up after asking officer's name while waiting to pay son's fine
The Courier-Mail June 15, 2010LINK
Lindsay Walters, 61, says he was subjected to shocking treatment at Surfers Paradise police station last month when he went in to pay a fine for his son.
He claims he was sworn at, brutally handcuffed and threatened that his arms would be broken.
The wealthy Paradise Waters businessman has made a formal complaint to the Crime and Misconduct Commission alleging unlawful arrest, deprivation of liberty and serious assault.
The CMC says the case could amount to official misconduct and has referred the allegations to the police Ethical Standards Command.
It is the latest scandal for Surfers police who are at the centre of a major CMC probe into allegations of involvement in the Glitter Strip's nightclub drug trade.
