CCTV captures moment that triggered a racial profiling complaint against Northern Territory Police

CCTV footage obtained by the ABC shows the interaction between Mr Liddle and the auxiliary officer but does not include an audio recording.

Mr Liddle has also said he was discriminated against on the basis of age in the same interaction, which the assessor did not find had a reasonable chance of success.Part of the complaint also relates to the initial response from senior police in Alice Springs, who did not see anything wrong with the way Mr Liddle was handled, with the head of the Alice Springs police alcohol unit describing the auxiliary officer as "polite".

"When a complaint was made to senior police in Alice Springs, his complaint was treated disrespectfully, and there was no accountability that flowed from the complaint," she said. "I think there needs to be some openness about these types of misconduct, these types of discriminatory behaviours on the part of the police and [police auxiliary liquor inspectors]," she said.NT Police declined to comment on the complaint.Asked at a press conference about why she would not comment on the incident, Ms Manison said police were subject to a high level of scrutiny already.

The ABC is a NATIONAL taxpayer funded broadcaster. What on earth is this drivel being aired for? It happened more than a year and a half ago in an Alice Springs bottle shop for goodness sake. Please get some adult editors on board.

think this through, why are there these laws in the NT?

Walk into bottlo. Man already at counter. Him and I in shop. I'm behind him. Cashier calls me. No he's before me. Man says it's ok you go first. No your first. Cashier says he can wait. I refused. Didn't ask for my ID did his. He was indigenous I'm not. Darwin 12yrs ago.

Oh please! What are these poor people supposed to do? Bend over backwards for First Nations drunks and druggies?

Police won't allow the camera footage to be released. I wonder why?

Typical native, drinking problem and always playing the race card.

Also, the man is buying XXXX Gold mid-strength who always have '2-for' specials...but you need to buy 2x cartons.
