Union head Ian Leavers says commissioner Katarina Carroll issued ‘unlawful direction’ to officers in April
Queensland police have “overturned” the ban of a controversial and potentially deadly chokehold after it was outlawed just over a month ago.
“A clarification was issued to QPS officers on Monday reaffirming that the LVNR not be used in the course of ordinary policing duties and outlining statutory provisions concerning force that may lawfully be used to prevent death or grievous bodily harm,” a police spokesman said.The Queensland Police Union had challenged the ban, saying it prevented officers from defending themselves.
Queensland police continue to defend the the clarification, insisting it does not change the force’s stance against the use of the chokehold.
