"Offering us 0.6 percent is just frankly disgusting," says one officer. File photo.

Some police officers say they are beginning unlawful industrial action - such as a go slow on issuing traffic tickets - following a 0.6 percent pay rise labelled a "kick in the guts".

The Police Association says while there have been "murmurings", it wants to remind members that any form of industrial action is "unlawful".

"What we don't want to see is members put themselves at unnecessary risk of breaching the law, and we cannot condone any activity that might be construed as industrial action outside of that which is legally permitted."
