THE WA Police officer whose use of a Taser on a driver was heavily criticised by the Corruption and Crime Commission has been stood aside.

The action was taken following the tabling of a damning report by CCC in Parliament on Wednesday into the actions of officers in relation to two separate incidents.

WA Police Assistant Commissioner for Professional Standards Nick Anticich said the officer had been stood aside while WA Police reviewed the matters raised in the CCC report in relation to the incident that took place in March, 2017.

In the report, the CCC said a man, who was given the alias Bill Holt, was heading to Fremantle for dinner with his wife and a friend, when he was pulled over by officers to receive a yellow sticker for his Jeep vehicle.

After being told he was “good to go” Mr Holt flashed his lights at the officers to indicate he was going to drive forward.

Phone vision recorded by a passenger in the car of following few minutes shows an officer using a Taser on Mr Holt, before ordering him out the car and being arrested.

The CCC report found the three Police investigations into the incident - a criminal investigation by the Traffic Enforcement Group, a managerial review, and a Professional Conduct Investigation Unit review - were flawed.

The outcome, it said, was an ordinary citizen was tasered for “no good reason” before being arrested and locked up.

“The Commission concludes there was no lawful jurisdiction for Mr Holt to be Tasered,” the report says.

“The Tasering was unreasonable and oppressive.”

In the second case, the CCC heavily criticised police after video showed an officer in an unnamed country town tripping a man and throwing him heavily to the ground at a police station.

In the dramatic video, the man cries out in pain saying his knee had been popped.

A medical examiner later confirmed the man – named only as Mr Rhodes – had severe ligament damage and was forced to wear a brace for six weeks.

The CCC pointed out that although Mr Rhodes was in a holding cell, at no time did any officer attempt to arrange medical aid.

As a result of an internal investigation WA police laid a number of charges for breach of police regulations.

WA Police Asst Commissioner Anticich said police welcomed the report adding it would now review the initial WA Police investigation of the Taser incident as well as the outcomes to ensure the appropriate actions have been taken.

He also said it welcomed the investigation into the country town incident but highlighted the CCC concluded the outcome of the investigation and the action taken by the WA Police was reasonable and appropriate.
