I wonder how I should interpret this comment.

The Police are a pillar of our society for everyone to look up to. They do not break they law when no emergency exists. When an emergency exists, they clearly display this by visual and audio means and society (well most) give way to this in order to assist the Police in carrying out their duty.

If Police don't drive through compulsory stops where there is no emergency, they do not lie, they do not speed and they do not drive while entoxicated, then I'll have a Tui's please.

What interests me isn't the fact that a cop failed to stop at a stop sign but rather that somebody felt the need to post the story on the internet. If its that important to you then make a complaint instead of starting another whinge thread on an internet forum.

By the way I'm not defending the cop. Part of the job is to be seen to do the right thing and to set an example for others.

this sort a thing reminds me of when i worked in welly. often times you would be sitting in traffic, waiting at the lights when a cop with full lights and sirens blazing overtakes us all, then when he gets through he turns the lights off!! what the hell is that all about?
if this is what is acceptable then i think i will use my flashing lights and horn on my work car!

Laws don't apply to the police, its an unwritten perk of the job.
It's not look we follow the rules most of the time anyway.

If your stupid enough to get caught then you obviously wern't taking enough notice of your surroundings.
