Two police officers found guilty of assaulting a woman in her home have avoided criminal convictions.
Court documents show Constables Brent Liddle and Gerard Russell were discharged without conviction in the North Shore District Court in April. Constable Russell was also found guilty of trespass.
Police visited the woman's home after she was involved in a minor car crash in December 2010.
When no-one answered the door, they entered her house and Constable Russell forced his way into her bedroom and arrested the woman.
The woman brought a private prosecution.
Judge Lawrence Hinton found the two officers did not have permission to be in the house and the arrest constituted assault.
