World will see Canberra Raider Curtis Scott's arrest footage

It's something his lawyer Sam Macedone is happy about, having always been confident the body camera footage of police officers and security guards helped his client's defence.

Scott faces seven charges, including two counts of assaulting a police officer and one count of resisting arrest.

He will plead guilty to the two minor charges of offensive conduct, but will contest all the more serious charges.

His hearing was originally set down for July 14-15, but that has been vacated due to the coronavirus. A new date will be set at a mention hearing in September.

Macedone had been negotiating with NSW Police, hoping to get the more serious offences withdrawn.

But those discussions have broken down and Scott is set to go to court.

That means all the video footage will be shown in court and then become available to the media.

Macedone has previously told The Canberra Times he wanted "everyone in the world to see what happened", so confident was he it would help Scott's case.

Former NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg viewed the footage and decided the alleged incident wasn't serious enough for him to enforce the league's no-fault stand-down policy, allowing Scott to continue playing while his case continued.

He'll face his former club, the Melbourne Storm, for the first time in Melbourne on Saturday night.

"Negotiations have broken down [and] the matter's going to a hearing," he said on Thursday.

"I've got instructions to even brief senior counsel, that's how serious we're going to go - and all guns blazing.

"The body worn video from the police, which will show exactly what happened, will be played. As will the body worn video of the security guard, which will also show what actually happened."

But it does mean Scott's case will likely be ongoing for the rest of the 2020 NRL season.

The COVID-19 virus has even impacted the court system, with lots of cases delayed due to the country's lockdown.

Scott will have to wait until September to find out when his hearing will be held, which might not be until November and after the NRL grand final.

The alleged incident occurred when police woke Scott up, after he fell asleep in Moore Park near NRL headquarters.

"We're going to plead guilty to two charges, which are the offensive conduct charges, and that's still the case," Macedone said.

"The two assault police and the resist arrest and some other trespass matter is being defended."
