Yes, but he was on the pay band above a Constable...Sgt.
Surviving long enough to become a Sgt and then being one for a long time is an achievement in itself these days.
Butt even at 90 K it's not bloody well enough.
Not when you see the trash that they have to deal with these days.
Worse most of that trash, thanks to television and no one out there acting as a balancing board, think it's OK to just Whack over anyone who annoys or upsets them, coppers included.
Every day above ground is a good day!:
Terue! I was reading the Listener today, (forgive me I was in a waiting room..), and a columnist was critiquing Police Ten 7 and complained the officers were far too polite to the twats they had to deal with. I agree, and as the columnist praised the retired officer narrating the show for his calling a spade an idiot so do I. Motorway Patrol officers are also far too polite!

Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!
Back a while ago a mate came off in the middle of nowhere.
Fortunately he was bruised but otherwise OK.
Bike was a bit of a mess.
First car on the scene was an unmarked police car.
Called us a tow truck on police comms as we had no cell coverage.
Asked us what happened, looked around and then said "If anyone asks, I was never here".
From all the cases I hear of bikers falling off and then being pinged for dangerous or reckless riding by the courts I thought it was a pretty solid thing to do.
Comes with years of practice.... every working day......
And no, retired Det Insp isn't hamstrung by the Police Code of Conduct..... good on him....
Been on one of them shows myself years ago, closing down one of the infamous North Shore parties, in Browns Bay. We told the kids to move on and go home.... and they did!!! I was so astounded my comment was "Jesus, they're actually doing what they were told for once..." and they aired it......
Even the normal little shits throwing bottles were hamming it up for the cameras by behaving for the 1st time...... ever..........
LOL!!! Nice one! Had to laugh last night, too! Two young thugs tracked by the dog trying to wheedle their way out of it by questioning the dog's ability and telling the officer to ask the dog if they were really the one's sought! And the drunk lady breaching her bail conditions...
Like the Jeremy Kyle show, (Shhhh...!), when the loser's question the results of the lie detector...

One hand signal and the dog barks... ya tell the dumb arses that the dog knows when you're lying. Ask a question, get an answer, give the dog the signal, "woof..."
"Oh, OK officer.... I did it..."
And the other old one... a photocopy machine with "You're lying" on a page, ready to print... Place some unconnected (damn....) wires onto the guy and ask a question. Hit "copy" when the answer is given... you know the rest..... But thems olden day times......

The other trick to fool the crims is to hook them up to a polygraph machine and tell them that the machine can indicate when they are lying - most crims aren't very smart and will believe it. The polygraph machine makes a very believable prop when interviewing crims that don't know better.
