A Queensland policeman has been suspended following allegations he wrongly accessed and released private information from the state’s police database, ZDnet reports. The suspended policeman will appear in court after being served with a notice by the Crime and Corruption Commission.

After the investigation, the policeman was charged with a single count of misconduct in relation to public office, and another of illegally disclosing information in breach of the Police Service Administration Act.
