Well of course

had other vehicles down this street to stop any villan attempting to evade their road block.
Now I know what I was doing, but

was 300% certain I was guilty of evasion and proceeded to argue and tell me to my face that I was lying.
He was also highly pissed that I was completely sober.
Lets just say I did leave with just the slightest remorse that I hadnt been more deliberate in signaling my intention to take the turn

It could have ?? eliminated

from raising his heart-rate and making an ass of himself.

And they go absolutely APE SHIT on the throttle to catch whoever just 'evaded' the block, a HUNDRED miles an hour up the road! No pedestrian would stand a chance! Course the sirens and all...
Slow traffic, probably blocked up a few meters... 'Oh i'll cross h- WHABAAAAM'

Just they way they rip off the line really gets to me. It's justified, but to add another speeding vehicle in with a supposed drunken speeding vehicle...

If I don't know my rights, I suppose I can trust a copper to respect them, eh? A compliant, ignorant population is gut, Ja?

Oh, I can respect them alright - but try and tell me 'I know my rights' when you're misinformed and know jack-shit (bush-lawyer?) then it's a different story.

You would at that stage have become a loser.

They may be losers, but they are citizens and tax payers.
Notwithstanding that, I thought that issues like who is misinformed, right, wrong etc was up to a Judge to decide- no yer humble flatfoot.

Oh sure, I see your point.

But when some drunk idiot loser who ignores your best attempts to 'advise' him and tries to tell you what you can and can't do and refuses to contact a lawyer becaue "I know my rights" then he's a loser...

And I'm sure the judge will appreciate being told the same by Mr Loser.

I do my job from day-to-day dealing with the same issues and sober.

Mr Loser knows jack-shit, is pissed and has never been in that situation before but 'remembers' what a mate who has been to prison five years ago told him...

I certainly hope you are wrong Oscar. I can tell you that I definitely care.

Mr Reid said. "There's no doubt if someone knocked on my door and asked me to do a breath test, I would tell them to go to hell."

Its the words in italics which are of concern because arguably they bring the legal profession into disrepute. They may also breach the rule of dealing with others with integrity, courtesy, and respect.

On the other hand they could be characterised as robust comment, and a bit like Prince Harry's gaffes, ordinary blokes language. Not offensive.

Conspicuous by it's absence is honesty...

I think Mr Reid may be reflecting a growing public opinion that is sick of smarmy LTSA advertising and aggressive highway policing.
