Just months after Yamatji woman JC was killed by a Geraldton police officer, another was under the microscope for the unlawful arrest of an Indigenous woman in the same region known as Ms G.
The Aboriginal Legal Service acted on Ms G's behalf in court and later lodged a complaint with the WA Police Internal Affairs Unit regarding her arrest.
Throughout his defence Mr Lee argued against his removal, saying he believed he had not used excessive force to get Ms G into the car nor had given misleading statements in an evidence brief given to the prosecution involved in Ms G's case. "So yeah, all I can say is obviously I've messed up, it was not my intention, it's not my intention to do false prosecutions or charges – I'm not like that, and UI don't want to do that.Mr Lee was removed from the force by the Commissioner.In dismissing his appeal, the three commissioners wrote that it was clear Mr Lee had not demonstrated any real remorse around his actions.
