A Queensland police officer facing criminal misconduct charges after leaking security footage of a violent arrest to the media has slammed his bosses.

Sergeant Rick Flori faced Southport Magistrates Court on Thursday and his lawyer indicated a no case to answer submission would be made during a committal hearing at the next appearance.

Mr Flori has been charged with misconduct in a public office after leaking footage of chef Noa Begic, 22, being beaten by police while handcuffed after an arrest at Surfers Paradise in January 2012.

The matter was adjourned until May 20 when the no case submission will be made.
