Police have been ordered to pay one of their own nearly $10,000 after their prosecution of his alleged domestic violence showed "clear negligence".
Judge Kevin Phillips, who made the costs order, said police had been "blinkered" in their approach to the case, and expressed concern investigators ignored the advice of senior staff to pull the charges.
