Victoria Police have lost $4M in funding from the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) after an investigation found that more than 250,000 preliminary breath tests (PBT) were falsified over a five year period.
Assistant Commissioner Russell Barrett provided a statement this morning, admitting that they were “incredibly disappointed” with the findings.
The investigation found that police officers placed their finger over the straw entry hole on the breathalyser, or even blew into the straw themselves, according to a statement released by Victoria Police.
