A former “distinguished” senior traffic officer has been heavily fined but escaped conviction after instructing his son, who recorded a positive breath test, to drive away from a crash scene, enabling him to evade a drug test despite suspicions he was under the influence of drugs.
Daniel Michael Shean, a 52-year-old superintendent, was the Territory Road Policing Division boss at the time of his offending on May 18, 2024 according to court records.
NT Darwin proving it is a Potemkin Village once again, with a fake NTG Police force, DPP, ICAC, networked & paid NTG judges on $500,000.00 who collude with lawyers for their corrupt desired outcome whilst protecting each other. Meanwhile ubiquitous CCTV cameras are used to keep citizens ‘safe’. The truth is they are spying to maintain control, Darwin feels like an open air gulag. At least NT Independent is exposing the truth.
This could be the first time any public servant in the Territory has been charged with failure to perform duty.
So we can send 10yo children with FASD, low intellect and zero capacity for self regulation to prison, but not a seasoned, corrupt police officer who clearly acted with the intent to pervert the course of justice? We all ok with this?
Hopefully the DPP appeals the sentence as manifestly inadequate and at least gets a conviction recorded.
