Dave Gallagher booted out of the NZ Police for corruption:

The Wairarapa News - a less descriptive name for a propaganda rag would be hard to find - recently provided some free advertising for disgraced ex Police Constable David Gallagher - the advertisement contains the words "Sensing that it was time to leave the force . . . " before going on to advertise Gallagher's new business venture for free under the guise of "local news".

Yes - he sensed it was time to leave alright - when his bosses and fellow officers demanded his resignation and pointed out to him that disciplinary proceedings and no doubt criminal charges were imminent following a number of formal complaints of his blatant corruption!  This follows Gallagher's latest disgrace in the Courts - after he LIED about not just one but TWO corruptly laid criminal prosecutions in an attempt to impress his corrupt colleagues.

This is the summons containing the false allegation that Katherine Raue allegedly assaulted Gallagher while he was acting in the execution of his duty -

Here is the back of that summons, where it states that the charge was "dismissed" because Police OFFERED NO EVIDENCE on the charge - the prosecutor tried to shift the blame to Sgt Jodie Lawrence but she wasn't having any of it, she KNEW the charges were corruptly laid and refused to have anything to do with this corrupt prosecution or the other one instigated by Gallagher!  Even corrupt prosecutor Garry Wilson wasn't stupid enough to call Gallagher to give evidence in support of the lies on these 'Informations' - which is why the charges were dismissed!

Here's the Judge's decision:

BOTH the 'Informations' were DISMISSED - the second allegation was disproved during a defended hearing in which the defendant represented themselves after the Legal Aid agency failed to provide a lawyer, and Gallagher was booted out immediately afterwards.  He chose to resign to avoid disciplinary proceedings and dismissal - he will be charged with assault and perverting the course of justice.
