 Can you just clarify if you are apologising to the man who was stopped riding his motorcycle because you think the police did the wrong thing? I understand that Mr Evans claims that he's been stopped 21 times but I don't know what time frame that's in. Certainly I have been on the record a number of times as saying I apologise to any recreational motorcyclist who's been inconvenienced by our officers policing of the laws that are targeting the criminal motorcycle gangs. I said from the outset there will be times where recreational motorcycle riders will be pulled over, they will be spoken to on the basis that we need to know who's out there. We need to decide who's the criminal and who's not the criminal members of these groups. So certainly I am apologising to him if it's fact that he's been pulled over 21 times since these laws have been put in place. But on the other side of that we have to balance that with the outcome for the community. The outcome is that our policing under this new legislation targeting criminal motorcycle gang members has resulted in over 500 of these people being arrested on about a thousand charges. That makes Queensland a safer and better place for all of us. Has the police had any contact with him since his videos being posted? Not to my knowledge. Certainly I'm not just so that I'm on the record and I'm clarifying this very carefully. I'm not apologising for what my officers did. I want them to go out and police these laws to the full extent because that's what I think most of the public want us to do. What I'm saying is that occasionally people will be other people, innocent people will be inconvenienced and I apologise for that inconvenience. So have you been able to look at whether or not he has been pulled over 21 times? Not at every intercept is going to be recorded. We know that. Certainly I'm making some inquiries to try and clarify how many times this person has been pulled over. Do you think that in the video interaction there was any evidence of harassment? No I don't. In fact I think the video shows very clearly just how professionally our people are acting in what is a very complex environment. And I thank the gentleman, I think his name is Evans. I thank him for his consideration as well. Certainly I know that he was filming our officers and asking questions of our officers and I think they conducted themselves quite reasonably under the circumstances. Do you think that any damage can be done to you know or any damage to the police reputation when a video like this does go viral as they say? Oh look I'm glad that people have seen this video. There are lots of similar videos that we see all the time because not only is there CCTV out there that records a whole range of interactions between police and the community but police often record these things as well. So we often see this type of interaction. I don't think that this is a negative for the Queensland Police Service at all. I think again it shows the professional way that our people act in these circumstances. I'd like to also clarify that the Queensland Police have about, we think in the vicinity of about 6 million interactions with the community every year. The number of complaints that we actually receive and bearing in mind that I'm not aware of any official complaint from this gentleman, the number of official complaints we receive is minuscule when you take that into account. So I think and I hope that the public is satisfied that the way that our police will act in these situations is professionally and courteously. I guess the point that I think the video I think the man was trying to make in the video was he wasn't doing anything wrong. So does that matter then or is it the fact that you've got to check these people out because of the laws, the new laws? Well it's not just the new laws. We have always had the right to intercept any person using the roadway. The traffic laws allow us to do that and it was mainly a traffic stop that was involved in this as well as the identity of the person of him that we were trying to check. This is the nature of our business. Sorry guys, we started just a minute too early. Have we missed anything important? No, we've just talked about the general stuff. What we've talked about so far is the specifics of whether or not I'm apologising for the action of my staff in relation to this gentleman and the answer I gave to that was no, I'm not actually apologising about that. What I'm apologising to Mr Evans about is the fact that he's been inconvenienced a number of times obviously if it's right that he's been stopped 21 times. But at the end of the day I've made it very clear that that inconvenience is something that I've talked about previously that I've always accepted that there would be inconvenience and I'm happy to apologise for the inconvenience. But at the end of the day it's the outcome for the Queensland community, which is the most important thing. And that is that we end up with a better and safer community. He might have received two unfair infringements that ultimately fought in court and won on. Do you think people do get fined that reason? No, not at all. I mean we have a wonderful system of justice in this state that even though an officer believes that someone's committed an offence and will hand out an infringement or to that matter will even arrest a person. There are methods of appeal and a court process which allows that to be determined by an independent tribunal, the courts. So, you know, I think that's one of the great strengths of the justice system in this state. So has there been a complaint made from this man against the police? Not that I'm aware of. But filming of incidents like that, I mean it is somewhat inflammatory. How do you feel about officers being filmed during their job? Look, it happens for our officers every day. In fact, we tell our officers, please do your work as though it is being recorded electronically either by filming or by audio. I think that that adds a level of governance to the whole process. Police often film interactions with other members of the public, particularly in these days of smartphone technology. Our police have to be used to the fact that at any time in their public life, doing their job, they could be recorded. And I see no problem with that. And I don't think most of our officers have any problem with that either. So just because you're not apologising for your office. Sir. I'm sorry, you do that first, and then I'll finish it. Sorry, I just want to clarify what your question was. You must be a slow news day. Thanks for your... You OK? Yeah. Sorry, yeah. The comments you made to the ABC, that was not... You know, you're not apologising for your officers' actions in relation to that incident, is that...? No, that's exactly right. I expect my officers to go out and do these jobs every day. What I'm apologising to the gentleman is over the inconvenience of being stopped. And I'll apologise to him again if he's stopped again. That's the nature of what's happening in Queensland. We are out there actively pursuing criminal motorcycle gangs members. And the concept behind that is that they are involved in criminal activity in this state, and we're going after them. I make no apology for that whatsoever, and I make no apology for the actions of my officers. I do apologise, though, for the inconvenience that will cause to people who have no links to criminal motorcycle gangs, but who may, because they're recreational motorcyclists, they may be stopped from time to time. I think it's probably unusual that we've got someone who's been stopped 21 times, if that is in fact the case. But again, I have no concern in saying, look, I'm sorry that that's happened to you, but please look at the greater good for the state of Queensland and for the whole community.
