Police prosecutor caught for speeding.

[imdying]

Just so. The fundamental requirement that we must place on the police , is that their *honesty* and *integrity* must be above reproach.

And if we start taking their jobs over speeding fines, they'll probably just regroup and stop ticketing each other, and that would be an increase in corruption; surely that's a bad thing.

[Dave Lobster]

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?

Nope.. far from it. BUT, if he lost his job as a result, that's what goes with the job rather than the 'crime' commited. The judge doesn't make him lose his job.
Getting a 28 day ban and a $5/600 fine is the same as what everyone else would get. I don't see it as unreasonable.
Yep, we all do it.. we all take that risk. Every now and then you get caught. He's been caught this time.
I'm not gloating any more than when the ginger prick got my licence taken off me.

[Ixion]

But we don't take the same risk. Not the judge's issue, he just treated him like anyone else. Chop-top should do the same, I reckon. Except for the ginger cunt. He is definately gloating territory.

[Usarka]

Is the suspension with pay?

He's probably getting a decent paid holiday as compensation for being busted.

[Coldrider]

Is this is total disqualification, or just the mandatory 28 days, then face the beak for more.
The outcome of losing his licence should be just like the rest of us. Some need licence for work, some don't. Either way the justice should be the same.

[Smifffy]

Occasionaly guys at work lose their licence (or more correctly are disqualified from driving), and if we can work around them needing to use a vehicle for the duration, all is good, but if their role absolutely requires them to drive then they will need a work licence or they are screwed.

I'd like to think this situation is similar, and that the dude can work around his disqual. Losing one's job over this seems unduly harsh.

Then again the faster you go the bigger the mess apparently. I wonder whether this will help, or hinder his prosecutions of traffic offences in the future?

[Maha]

What a dick! if only he put the lights on! Where was his head?

[CookMySock]

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 !

Either he is on work duty, or he is yahooing in the work vehicle - It's one or the other. If he was on work duties, then there is no issue. But he wasn't. He was actually going for a high-speed cane in the work vehicle... cue flushing sound.

No quota tui anyone.

Bet his the cop who invoiced him feels shit hot,or maybe did give him a leniancy on speed.Absolutely agree should be no leniency re cops breaking speed limits whilst off duty,but think about if we get to 100 demerits and lose license for 3 mths do we get fired.I had to get work license years ago after 28 day stand down,meant two were required if I needed to do my job till limited license was given.

If the cop who stopped him had not taken the action he did in issuing the notice, he would now be facing a code of conduct inquiry and probably be in deeper crap as not issuing the notice could be viewed as a corrupt action.

[ICE180]

hes a lawyer he will find a loop hole in the proceedings if needed

No, this can't be true, you are going to ruin good KB rant by the all-(un)knowing members...

[CookMySock]

Yeah but that will look really bad.

Pretty much he's fucked. Good job!

A lady friend of mine in the P force down in the south was given a ticket by another in her office (yes she was speeding) whilst she called him a prize prick for doing so she also said she was in the wrong and accepted it..

[red mermaid]

Dead right, you take the ticket, say thank you, pay it, and never say anything to anyone about it.
