A former NSW constable who used excessive force on six separate occasions and destroyed incriminating body-worn video evidence has been found to have engaged in serious misconduct, alongside four officers he confessed to who didn’t report him.

The findings, released by the state’s independent Law Enforcement Conduct Commission (Lecc) on Monday, could lead to a criminal investigation and potential jail time for the former New South Wales police officer.
