The officers alleged an abusive Mr Mears began "shoving" detective sergeant Michael Keegan who told the court he"feared for his saftey".
Mr Mears claimed that the police officers did not identify themselves: “I thought they were drug dealers or a guy pimping his prostitute and… feared for my friends,” he said.
Mr Meares was fined $500 and had a conviction recorded.
According to a report in the Sydney Morning Herald from November 2005, Mr Meares was formerly the business partner of Brendan McMahon – the financier and mortgage broker convicted for mutilating to death 17 rabbits and a guinea pig.
