Focusing on the world of Australian law enforcement, vice, drugs, politics and widespread corruption, from street level to the corridors of power, the programme achieved a near-documentary level of realism. Scales of Justice first screened on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in 1983. Robert Caswell expressed surprise at criticism the series received from police and press.[3]It was released on DVD in 2005, with a 227 minutes running time. Act One The JobWhile investigating a break-in, Probationary Constable Leonard "Spider" Webber witnesses his senior officer stealing merchandise and is torn between loyalty to his team and his own conscience.
