The drink/driving cop

[RT527]

You said a mouthful there, should need a licence to drink piss, most we deal with would fail, even if it was only a three question multi-choice 'scratchy' test.

....Um ,so tell me ....whats a scratchy test? and how many is three questions?.....oh and what does fail mean?

So if any of us were in the cops shoes where to from here. Would you stick it out or go for a transfer? Wonder how the top brass would view the situation.

We work for free all the time buddy, i average 15 hours unpaid overtime on a good week. Wouldnt do anything else though. You cant safely say something that aint correct!

Well, you guys are mugs then. Get some decent representation. Try the Distribution Workers Union, because the Police Assoc sure aren't doing much for you.

You're just saying that because you want to see us standing around doing nothing but wave placards instead of dishing out ticket!

WHAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT HE ATTENDED IN THE FIRST PLACE?

They would of paged him or called him as he is the nearest police officer to the scene and one man station cars have more life saving equipment than I cars.

So I'm guessing that your contracted hours are about 10 a week then, judging by the amount of time you are on here??

Or are you wasting taxpayers money using the piggie PC from the pen? If the KB cops were as overworked as they say then somehow I doubt their voices would be as loud on here.

i dont somehow think it was him.

You know me so well.

Not him.
Will you take responsibility for the next person who bins on a ride with you?

Right there is a problem.....and it comes down to police managment not complieing with OSH issues and the safety of officers out there, and I would say that this is a big big problem, like to thank all those officers who work for free good on yas.
Any ways I believe he did do this act to save a life and good on him its something I probably wouldnt do if i was drunk .( i have a wife and kids to support and I cant do this whilest being either off work due to injuries sustained or being inside for killing someone on the way).
I dont/ wont let anyone leave my place if they been drinking, I will hold on to peoples keys if they are drinking at my place.
then they cant sneak off.
One thing to remember is this Officer Pleaded Guilty and didnt try to get off on an obscure law
Ok I was wrong ...forgot you guys are paid a salary and anything after hours isn`t paid.
Wish everyone all the best ( even winja ) and stat safe/be careful.
Cheers

Oh yeah and there is something wrong if the Local Fire Brigade Havn`t identified the need for comprhensive First aid kits to be carried on there truck we have One in each appliance with oxygen , even tho we have 2 ambulances at Ngatea.....we often arrive first so it was considered necessary to carry.
We also have 3-4 ambulance officers in the brigade, but all of us have enough experiance to do our best to sustain life if it can be sustained.

Throughout the "ordeal"?? Dude he got charged and we only just found out he got off having a conviction even though he plead guilty. I dont understand how thats such a "ordeal" for you?

I'd be happy to explain!
He was found driving over the limit thus broke the law he is paid to enforce hence my comments, in stead of being an exemplar he was let off. If's and but's aside there were exceptions made in this case. However I do whole heartedly agree this case was full of special circumstances so to a degree ‘standard rules do not apply’. But to be let off, to be considered innocent when even by his own admission he was not seems a bit flawed to me (would you not agree?). - see full circle, it was an ordeal - not mine, but its out comes have made me question the justice system.

So when you have mates over for drinks who said they had organised other means of transport home, you should follow your mates around like hawks to make sure they don't change their mind and drive home?

I don't really think its fair to say its the cops fault for the accident.

THATS NOT WHAT I WAS SAYING

[WINJA]

MY POINT IS HES DRIVING DRUNK TO AN ACCIDENT THAT WAS CAUSED BY ALCOHOL IN THE FIRST PLACE , DRUNK DRIVING IS DRUNK DRIVING THE JUDGES VERDICT BLURRS THE LINES
