Aldridge harrassed by police – held six hours, not charged

TV media tipped off as Aldridge is arrested by cops.

Roscoe Whalan, 7News, Yahoo!7

Aldridge is threatening legal action against police claiming he has been unfairly targetted after he was arrested and released without charge.

Aldridge said police showed up on his doorstop yesterday without a warrant.

Using his secret camera watch, Mr Aldridge said he documented what happened inside the police station.

Bruised and battered to be honest, and pretty horrific and scary experience for sure, Mr Aldridge told 7News.

He said he was only then given a warrant for his arrest, asking for a DNA sample in relation to alleged breaches of his firearm licence.

But after six hours in custody, he was released without giving a sample and without being charged.

Im not really sure what this is about, and the timing didnt seem very appropriate, Mr Aldridge said.

Ill definitely be taking action against the police for putting me in custody for no reason.

This will be going to court and Ill fight this all the way, and they can keep trying to intimidate me if they like, and I will keep fighting back.

His lawyer Greg Morcom said: This is just another example of the police having no respect for my clients and indeed the publics civil liberties in general.

Police refused to answer questions from 7News about the incident, instead suggesting if Mr Aldridge has a problem then he should take it to the police ombudsman.

I like his attorney's comment about the police "having no respect for [his] clients". Are they his clients before the police arrest them? Does he think they're targeting his clients because they're HIS clients?
Regardless, that's weak. Despite my distaste for LMA's game I don't want to see anybody mistreated by the department of "justice".

That was pretty funny but I moved it to the OT section because the popular threads are being listed on the Blazers homepage on a RSS feed.

And we were told that nothing would change when we became the official forum of the Blazers. BOOO!!

LOL! We did say you couldn't swear in thread titles anymore. Except I've been the worst at breaking that rule.

Now if the title had said "Zach" I would have been thinking basketball player . . .
