Corruption watchdog probes 4 e
The federal anti-corruption watchdog is investigating allegations of federal agents presenting questionable evidence in court cases.

THE Police Integrity Commission is hunting down officers it accuses of lying to avoid traffic fines, and is calling on any guilty officers to surrender.

But it says the investigation has nothing to do with the former Federal Court judge Marcus Einfeld, who has been charged with 14 offences involving avoiding traffic fines.

The commission said yesterday it already had information on police who had engaged in misconduct or criminal activity by providing false information.

It published notices in Sydney newspapers today, urging police to dob themselves in "at the earliest opportunity".

"The commission has identified a number of serving and former NSW police officers and other people it believes have supplied false particulars in relation to traffic infringements," the notice says.

"The commission recommends that any NSW police officer … make contact with the commission." The notice is the first indication the notoriously secretive commission has given that an inquiry into misconduct over traffic fines is under way. A spokesman described the notice as an "investigation tool". An example of misconduct would be an officer running a red light then passing the fine to a partner.

"There's no particular reason [for the investigation] except to say our charter and obligation is to investigate serious police misconduct," he said.
