Its OK to think outside the square. It wasn't my conclusion either but I thought I'd give another perspective just so that we aren't all lead to believe something, which may in fact be not entirely true.

This kind of thing happens all the time, i know of one situation where a policeman pulled over his boss (both in police cars) and ticketed his boss for speeding (78 in a 50 i think, anyway it was reasonably high)....
In the end, the boss got a good bollocking from higher up, and had to pay the ticket.... And for the Constable that pulled him over....... Well my dad bought him a box of beers hehehe![]()

I well remember the comparatively recent case of a Police Commissioner and his bit of skirt who got stopped by a young Constable who allegedly "forgot" to breathtest said Commissioner when confronted. The Commissioner in question shortly afterwards became an ex-Commissioner...

Hypocrite or human being?? We all make mistakes and just because someone wears a uniform doesn't make them perfect. I reckon it was handled well and the Supt deserved the ticket, if only because police should be seen to be as accountable as any other citizen using the roads. As for discretion, well the Supt should know better and any excuse offered would be laughable, so he gets a ticket. Well done that cop.Originally Posted by 750Y

The point I was making when originally posting this is that anyone can make mistakes. At least the superintendent had the balls to take the ticket, pay up and shut up.
Unlike the ex-commissioner Hitcher referred to.

It's slightly suspicious that a minor speeding infringement made the news.Originally Posted by Mongoose
I wonder who leaked it?
Most likely the police them selve leaked it. After the flak they've been copping (pun not intended) it makes for pretty good PR.Originally Posted by Lou Girardin

The cop at the time of that incident was pretty much a newly graduated constable. I've never met him but I'm told he still hasn't had to buy his own beer since the incident led to the resignation of the commisioner.Originally Posted by celticno6
So what if they used it to gain a little PR. If it was swept under the carpet or covered up in some way then they would cop endless flak over it. Its better to be up front from the start.Originally Posted by Lou Girardin
The constable had no reason to test the guy, the woman was driving. My (then) next door neighbour was an ex cop, who said that, when the constable went to test the woman, he was allegedly told by the guy (can't remember his name) "that won't be necessary". THAT is what the fuss was about, and rightly so, too. He should have shut up and stayed in the car.Originally Posted by Hitcher

If you want my faith to improve you will need to start ticketing all the police cars who park illegaly for "personal" reasons eg to get lunch, go to the bank etc.Originally Posted by Hoon
