新西兰警方于2024年7月非法进入Flaxmere家, 逮捕一名违反保释的男子, 独立警察行为管理局裁定, New Zealand police unlawfully entered a Flaxmere home in July 2024 to arrest a man for breaching bail, the Independent Police Conduct Authority ruled, finding officers lacked legal basis to enter or use pepper spray since the arrest hadn’t occurred inside the residence. 该男子在自己被封锁后使用武力,是为了防止自残。 The force used after the man barricaded himself was justified to prevent self-harm. 监督员指出,警察对逮捕法普遍感到困惑,建议改进培训、更明确的逮捕证程序以及修复受损财产。 The watchdog cited widespread confusion among officers about arrest laws and recommended improved training, clearer warrant procedures, and repairs to the damaged property. 警方接受了调查结果,并正在努力解决合规问题。 Police accepted the findings and are working to address compliance issues.
