Every time the NZ Police get caught using interrogation techniques that imprison an innocent person, they scream and cry and wail that they have learnt their lesson and won’t frame innocent people for crimes they didn’t commit.
Well, another brilliant expose Stuff has highlighted how often the NZ Police used a corrupted interviewing technique to continue framing people for crimes…
The high-profile homicides and the troubled interview method
-
- A controversial interviewing technique has been abandoned by police, but not before it was used in five homicide investigations, and influenced various others.
- The Complex Investigation Phased Engagement Model (CIPEM) extracted a false confession from a suspect in the 2016 killing of Upper Hutt woman Lois Tolley and has been denounced by people working in the justice sector.
- Documents released after the Ombudsman criticised police’s handling of Stuff requests for information reveal other cases in which the technique was deployed or considered.
Anyone reading the Alan Hall case would be shocked at the blatant attempt to frame him for the crime.
You honestly get the perception after reading the reports that the cops simply rounded up the most vulnerable person near the crime and bullied him into answers that were used to frame him while withholding evidence that proved he didn’t do it.
They knew Alan couldn’t have committed the crime, but the simply framed him anyway because their interrogation techniques are manipulative and have little to do with catching the actual criminal and more to do with simply finding a prosecution.
With the recent litany of miscarriage of justice cases, seeing the inside of a corrupted police interrogation process happening in real time now suggests the Police have learned NOTHING from the mistakes and failures of the past, which is what we have been promised every time one of these miscarriages of justice get exposed!
This use of a deeply flawed interrogation model that fell over in court which the Police lied about is just extraordinary!
Detective Superintendent Tom Fitzgerald also was responsible for that other great questionable miscarriage of justice case, the murder of Olivia Hope and Ben Smart.
Based on what we currently have in front of us with this case and the recent miscarriages of justice cases of Peter Ellis, David Dougherty, Scott Watson, Teina Pora, David Lyttle, Mauha Fawcettand Alan Hall you get a terrible feeling that Police are not following the evidence in case, but are merely rounding up the most vulnerable suspects and bullying confessions out of them or twisting the evidence to fit the crime.
What is happening here is a can of very sick and toxic worms are being ripped open while the media’s attention is on the petty and vacant.
What is being exposed here is a rotten process that reeks of corruption. I once thought that maybe as much as 5% of the prison population might be innocent, after looking at what has been starkly revealed in this police interrogation process, I think that number might be closer to 30% of the prison population being innocent.
The scale of NZ Police corruption in using a flawed interview process that tricks people into framing themselves is gasp inducing and demands far more fear from Kiwis, especially when you see the extreme the Police went too hide and lie about the technique.
Sleepy Hobbits of muddle NuZilind are constantly distracted by ‘da Maaaaaaaaaoris is getting too much’ bullshit rather than demanding accountability from the Police Force who are actively framing people for crimes.
This country is so easily manipulated.

NZ Police have a persistent violent, misogynist, racist, macho, grudge holding culture to this day. There are some new age cops that advocate “modern policing” but it is just spin when you look at their racial profiling, using pepper and taser as compliance and torture devices rather than a substitute for lethal force–and hammering vulnerable mentally ill who may be acting out.
The blue bellies are often bent, and the detectives are always bent! Planting evidence, constructing circumstantial cases, bullying people in ‘interviews’ with no legal representation with the camera turned off, and lying in Court surely must be taught in closed sessions at Training School?
The plods are not called the filth for nothing.
Martyn, NGL, I thought you were being serious until i read you mention Scott Watson…LOL
It remains a very mixed institution. We have excellent local police here, who’d rather flash their lights at us than ticket us. But try and sell drugs and you’ll meet the dark end of their enthusiasms.
