The NSW Police Commissioner can no longer force officers to answer questions about their conduct on duty after a landmark ruling preserved an officer's privilege against self-incrimination.

In what was seen as a test case for police procedure, Justice Christine Adamson ruled it unlawful for the commissioner, Andrew Scipione, or anyone on his behalf, to direct a Coffs Harbour officer, Constable Errol Baff, to answer questions about a critical incident.

Constable Baff had claimed the protection of the common law privilege not to incriminate himself.

Constable Baff discharged his weapon on May 31, 2011, shooting a Victorian woman.

The court heard he was immediately placed under suspicion of criminal responsibility for the shooting and refused to answer questions during the investigation which ensued.

Fairfax Media understands no charges have yet been laid.
