Victoria Police have rejected accusations of racial profiling.


A new report has found African, Middle Eastern, Asian and First Nations Victorians were disproportionately given fines for breaches of COVID-19 restrictions in 2020, something Victoria Police say is 'simply not true'.

Nav Azadzoi is one of the nearly 40,000 people fined for breaching COVID-19 restrictions. And advocates say those who were issued fines for COVID breaches were also victims of racial profiling.
