I am astounded at the moral torpor shown by Law Society President Jonathan Temm with his comment. "It's a $70 bottle of Champagne. It's not a legal issue. It's not a story."
I am sorry Mr. Temm, the misappropriation of property by a senior Police Officer is very much a story. It is with out doubt theft i.e. the removal anything without the consent or lawful authorisation of the owner is theft -be it a bottle of champagne or a $2 can of Lion Red.
The fact that it was in the fridge of Rod Petricevic indicates that it was in all probability his property or the property of his estate if he is a bankrupt.
I find it reprehensible that a police officer should remove any property and later convert it to his own use.
