NSW govt loses police assault appeal

Driving home around 2am on January 23, 2001, Mr Ibbett was chased by police in an unmarked car because he was allegedly speeding in his van.
He drove into his mother's garage but as he began to close the door using a remote control, Senior Constable Darren Pickavance slid underneath and drew his pistol.
Woken by the commotion, Mrs Ibbett went to the garage where she was confronted by Snr Const Pickavance wielding his gun and ordering the door be opened so his partner, Snr Const Peter Harman could get inside.
