Police detail Kiri Allan’s alleged behaviour on night of arrest

Kiri Allan news

Newly released police documents allege former Justice Minister Kiri Allan was verbally abusive, resistant, and accused police of staging a “political stunt” during her 2023 arrest for suspected drink-driving.

The incident followed a car crash in Wellington on July 23, where Allan allegedly refused to initially comply with officers, claimed she wasn’t the driver, resisted arrest, and insisted the court summons should “disappear.”

Officers also said she stated, “I wrote the law,” during transport to the station. She later tested above the legal breath alcohol limit and was fined $300 for careless driving, with reparation of over $5000 and a conviction for refusing to accompany.

The allegations, revealed in legacy media following a year-long battle for information and the Ombudsman’s intervention, paint a picture of a chaotic and confrontational arrest.

  1. From wikipedia (worthwhile to read the whole page. Almost feel sorry for that individual’s personal ineptitude. And these lezzies adopted a child?!): “After exiting Parliament, Allan announced in October 2023 she is writing a book to be published by Penguin and launched her own lobbying consultancy. The consultancy was registered two weeks after she resigned as justice minister, and while she was still an MP; Allan was criticised for contributing to the perception of a “revolving door” between politics and lobbying that she was responsible for regulating while justice minister.”
    You can’t make up that sh*t. How do these people live? How do family, colleagues, friends live with that? This is/was a Minister of JUSTICE!

    • From memory, that thoroughly corrupt DOG that is Judith Collins was also Justice minister. And let’s not forget, we’re still waiting to hear what “objectionable” (i.e. illegal) pornography that deputy top cop had on his PC.

  2. Would have been a great video on utube, ‘ when Karen’s attack’ i wonder if she mentioned ‘do you know who I am’.

  3. Why was she not charged with impaired driving ???. She was responsible for the damages not insurance co. Or us .
    This is a massive abuse of justice and a cover up.
