Q: for the police re disclosure

[Patrick]

Hmmm, curious about this - can anybody name a cop convicted of EBA and who kept their job.

And I'm not counting the one cop who took the vital equipment to a serious crash and got nailed for EBA.

I bet there isn't one.

I suppose the turn around from a few years ago (allowing those with 5yr old convictions for EBA to join) might have had something to do with the fact that decision flew in the face of those who had been given the boot for exactly the same thing.

Sorry Gentlemen - I stand corrected.

You have to be very pissed to fail a test, if that was his lifelong ambition it obviously wasn't a very important one if he was so willing to risk it.

Indoo - you may want to read the entire thread before you make the assumption that he was "so willing to risk it".

Have tested that theory numerous times myself and have always been utterly shocked at just how pissed 400 micrograms actually is. When I first joined the job I always felt a bit sorry for the punters that were just over the limit but after my numerous "scientific" tests I'm afraid that I don't feel any sympathy at all, (not meaning to have a poke at your boy with that comment though Tank, sorry if it offends but I've seen that many pissed drivers that have only had "two beers" that I've lost my sympathetic nature over time).

+1.......... Multiply the response to the question by 3. "I've had 2 beers" actually equals a minimum of 6.....

Tank, having read these threads, your lad could quite possibly be the one and only exception though.
