Good to see this guy is reminded that he is not above the law and is supposed to uphold it.

I am sure he will get a good beating under the code of conduct as well as his fine and the public embarrasment.

A reminder to us that the police do fry their own eggs.

Fry them overhard perhaps. It seems rather harsh.

It seems rather harsh.

It's what I got for doing 122km/h near Puhoi.

Ironically, more than you'd get for belting the shit out of one of your children, if you're that way culturally inclined.

Well, no, because he gets the suspensiuon, the fine AND maybe loses his job. Most people wouldn't lose their job for that. At worst , need to get a work licence.

Which is why I think it's harsh, the cop gets a lot more grief than other people. It's not like it's corruption or such like where a cop should take a harder hit.

EDIT: 149kph? Just under the speed dangerous kick-in? Hm, wonder how fast he really was going. But in a marked plodmobile, though, whoever pinged him must have been a right cunt, even if he did give him a break on the speed.

On the other hand.. It's just as optional for him to speed as the rest of us. Nobody made him do it.

Best riding buddy ever was a Police Prosecutor in Tasmania in 1980. Almost immunity unless it was completely off the charts.
Game has changed. I have a pal who is an Inspector of Police now - he's a bit of a nanna on his GSX1400 because it's not worth the career pain otherwise.

You're doing something right, I never got fried eggs!

[Coldrider]

I thought the limit was 39kph over the limit, 49kphs in a restricted temporary area (road works).

[CookMySock]

I'd love to see the put-on sad doggy look on his face in front of the judge. Poor poor popo!!

Yeah right! :tui:

You have lost me there, why do you think he has been treated harshly?

He hasn't yet, but isn't one of the tenets of our justice system to make sure the punishment isn't disproportionate to the crime?

Yeah, I agree. He should be able to pay the fine and just move on, like anyone else. His job IMHO is not relevant, the law should be applied and that's the end of it.

But this guy might lose his job, seniority, generally be fucked over for something all bikers and most everyone else does every day. There ARE times when we have to expect police to be more cautious than Joe Public about the law, but this is not one of them !

Just so. The fundamental requirement that we must place on the police , is that their *honesty* and *integrity* must be above reproach. A cop who fiddles his expenses, or steals or accepts backhanders, should expect the world to come crashing down on him. He has breached the fundmental basis of what he is

But I don't see speeding in that light .That's not a matter of honesty or integrity. Drink driving, maybe, but not speeding. Would we expect a cop who got a parking ticket to risk losing his job because of it?

I'll blow up the cops if I think they deserve it, but I don't subscribe to the "he's a cop so let's gloat when he gets in shit, for whatever reason" .
