Queensland police accused of misconduct during breath test
Two police officers accused of stopping uniformed colleagues from breath-testing a driver on the Sunshine Coast have been stood down.
The 48-year-old female detective senior constable and 41-year-old male plain clothes senior constable allegedly intervened in a traffic interception at Mooloolaba in July 2016.
They were charged with misconduct in public office on Thursday following a Crime and Corruption Commission investigation.
The Queensland Police Service on Friday said the pair had since been stood down.
The officers are expected to front the Brisbane Magistrates Court on March 20.
