Talk:Roger Rogerson

Drug trafficker category?

Category was recently changed from Category:Australian criminals to Category:Australian drug traffickers. Has Rogerson been verified as a drug trafficker? The article notes a 1985 conviction for conspiring to supply heroin, but also notes that this was overturned on appeal; none of the other convictions mentioned are for drug trafficking. Unless he has a standing conviction for something in this line, I'm inclined to change back to the broader category. --Calair 02:47, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

"Disgraced"?

There have been some back-and-forth reverts in the past week or so about whether to use the adjective "disgraced" in the introduction. It's probably time to open a discussion here in an effort to reach some sort of consensus and prevent accusations of edit warring. (For my own part, I was initially opposed to the use of "disgraced" as I thought it was redundant, given that Rogerson's murder conviction was mentioned in the same sentence. However, I've since changed my mind - he could fairly be described as disgraced even prior to the murder, due to having already been found guilty of perverting the course of justice.) Alerting fellow contributors Cart Adolf, Bumbubookworm and Materialscientist. Thanks, Meticulo (talk) 10:43, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

There's not much to add to what you've written Meticulo. Rogerson himself has often joked that he was going to change his name to "Disgraced Former Detective" due to the volume of articles describing him as such.

There isn't any implied bias, and personally, I don't think that Rogerson was necessarily a bad policeman having worked in the X during his tenure, but this isn't here nor there.

He brought disgrace on the force and the ethos of the NSWPF due to a number of actions that could not be justified, despite his bravery and dedication.

I would rather not partake in an edit war whilst I work to gain access to my old email account and my old contributors account, and would rather be on jovial terms with my fellow editors. Cart Adolf (talk) 11:08, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Appeal outcome

What was the outcome of his 2020 appeal? I was unable to find a source online. Meticulo (talk) 02:05, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
