Christchurch lawyer Steven Welch Rollo alleges brutality at his police arrestROSS GIBLIN/FAIRFAX NZ Lawyer Steven Rollo represents a client in court in 2012. A Christchurch lawyer is alleging police brutality and challenging the validity of his arrest and the search that followed. The Crown alleges that after his arrest, two bags containing methamphetamine were found in the pocket of his motorcycle jacket, and his jeans. Webb put his hand on his arm, but Rollo was "of the opinion that he wasn't going to be arrested". After being taken to a police car, Rollo agreed to get his driver's licence out of his cellphone folder, then began apparently filming police on his iPhone.
