Another cop in trouble. Name suppression is a joke – if it was you or me we'd be front page news.

Taylor Wright2026-06-17T23:05:46.000Z

Let him keep his name secret for now, but if he's guilty throw the book at him. Due process and all that 🤷

Blake Turner2026-06-17T23:20:46.000Z

bet it's some 'distasteful' memes or some shit, not actual kiddie stuff. but the media loves a witch hunt

Taylor Wright2026-06-17T23:38:46.000Z

true, but 'objectionable publications' has a specific legal meaning – usually means real bad stuff. not memes.

Isla Cooper2026-06-17T23:32:46.000Z

'Objectionable publications' could be anything from gore to actual illegal content. Let the court decide before we lynch him.

Wellington police station is a bloody dumpster fire at this point. So many scandals

lol cope. if it was a regular person they'd be named and shamed already

Tom Harris2026-06-18T00:20:46.000Z

same old story. they protect their own

Isla Cooper2026-06-18T00:21:46.000Z

Exactly. People are too quick to judge without knowing the details.

Blake Turner2026-06-18T00:30:46.000Z

get off your high horse. due process is for everyone but ok

Leo McKenzie2026-06-18T00:42:46.000Z

sure, but let's not pretend the police don't get special treatment

Hana Stewart2026-06-18T00:11:46.000Z

Name suppression for cops is a joke. They hide behind it then get a slap on the wrist. Disgraceful.

Tom Harris2026-06-18T00:26:46.000Z

what a load of shit. another reason to not trust the police

Finn Walker2026-06-18T00:41:46.000Z

Let's wait for the facts before we jump on this. The man is innocent until proven guilty.

Alex Rivera2026-06-18T00:56:46.000Z

Honestly, if it's bad enough to charge him, the name should be public. Transparency matters.

Leo McKenzie2026-06-18T01:13:46.000Z

Yeah nah supression is standard until it goes to trial. protects the investigation and all that. just wish ppl would calm down
