Roberto Laudisio Curti, a 21-year-old Brazilian student, died after police chased and restrained him on Pitt Street in central Sydney, Australia, early on March 18, 2012. He had taken a packet of biscuits from a convenience store, but the emergency call was wrongly logged as an armed robbery. Officers used repeated Taser discharges, capsicum spray and body weight to restrain him. He stopped breathing and was pronounced dead at 6:10 a.m.

The footage includes close-up Taser-camera views, CCTV showing officers running near a person at a wall, and nighttime views of police vehicles. It does not show his death. Coroner Mary Jerram found no single cause of death but said it was impossible to believe Curti would have died without the police actions. She described their conduct as reckless and excessively forceful.

Four officers subsequently faced assault charges. In December 2014, Senior Constable Damien Ralph was found guilty of common assault over his use of capsicum spray, but no conviction was recorded. Scott Edmondson and Daniel Barling were acquitted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and Eric Lim was acquitted of common assault.
