The first post of this thread has the information you're looking for.
Is there a comprehension issue going on here ?
A police investigation, revealed in the Herald on Sunday, into southern Counties Manukau police found about 500 burglaries had been wrongly reclassified as other offences or incidents between 2009 and 2012.
One police department only, indicating problem with one data set , not some kind of proven nationwide conspiracy.
Read the second half of the first post of this thread.
Yea I have, don't see any proof, just random speculation, oh and BTW the misclassification may not be in the police or current government favour, what have they been misclassified as home invasions?
We are just "assuming" its misclassified as lessor crimes! and therefore some kind of deliberate act over a accident form say a poorly trained back office worker.
1. Five officers were disciplined for wrongly coding burglaries as lesser "incidents" for three years.
2. Home invasions aren't considered to be lesser incidents.
2. No cases of lesser incidents being mis-coded as burglaries were found, which would be expected if these were genuine mistakes. The mistakes should go both ways: favourable and detrimental.
3. If it isn't systematic why are police refusing to release the results of their nationwide audit?

ALL the incidents?

Exactly my point

Have you ever been the focus of a media attack?, nearly all lawyers will tell you never speak to the media and its irrespective of guilt.
You are still referring to incidents around one police department and it was dealt with in a appropriate manner. Still no evidence suggesting this is anything other than a isolated event.
Ok that is exactly my point. The evidence of it being anything other than an isolated event will not be released. This is a publicly accountable body therefore this information should be in the public domain.

The police in New Zealand are not accountable to the public or the media for good reason. Can you imagine a police force being swayed by public opinion or perceptions presented in the media lol?
As to the rest of our discussion I think we're going to have to agree to disagree and move on.
