They should suspend him. He is supposed to be setting an example for every other road user.
They go on about P plate hoons, and look at this completely irresponsible behaviour. If that was anybody else, they would lose their license & car. So how is that fair...

I don't understand why this idiot wasn't fired. For speeds like that, on more than one occasion, endangering as many people as he did - the moron should be in jail. |

A few months ago here in Mareeba, there were a few cops behind a post with a speed gun gunning people driving into town. Fair enough I thought. Then I saw the cop run out onto the road as if to direct a car to pull over, and then he stopped and walked back to his former position. Needless to say I was a little mystified, until a police car then drove past. Bloody pricks, shouldn't he have been booked like anyone else?

Honestly was it that dangerous???
Ive gone along the freeway with little or no traffic at 160+ Ks & have had no worries at all at that speed. Yes I know its breaking the law & Im very noughty. But for god sake common sence has to prevail here. If there was heavy traffic,then yes hes a dick. If it was 2am & not a car in sight. Weres the problem ? other than it is against the law, but so is drink driving & theres plenty still doing that. The only thing I can see he did that will cause an uproar, is he's a cop & I bet hes booked plenty for doing the same thing. Thats were the 110kph law is a joke. The hume hwy is the perfect example of this. We came back from VIC last month, & on that hwy we could have been traveling in complete safety at 140-160kph without a worry. I know theres some places you couldn't do that speed. But for most of the trip you could. The cop should have known better for sure, & it puts the other cops in the gun with the public. But let not get into cop bashing.

Reminds me of a time at school doing 'Automotive Science' and we went to the road out side of the campus to do a speed test.
We had a group at the top (school was on a fair hill) and one at the bottom to do a distance over time test. A cop went past and about half way down worked out what we were doing. Needless to say he topped the list speed wise. |

may i ask why he is still on the force?
and how can you be remorseful when you've committed the crime more than once. wouldnt you do it once, feel remorseful and never do it again. he's only remorseful because he got caught. what if the other officers didnt dob him in? may i ask, again, why he is still on the force?

I agree, while the cop shouldn't have been doing it, but our speed limit of 110 is a joke when you drive cars like ours Sbutler, sure in some cases it suits, but as anyone who has tackled the nullabor plains will tell you (Spelling?) 110Km/h out there is not enough, hell on the 140Km dead straight section i think upward of 160-180Km/h would be safe during the day time (Night would be suicide) Silly copper though, just asking for trouble with the media and not setting the best of examples... |

What gets me is, driving back from kyabram one day, a marked HP car appeared behind us (sky blue 90's courier-the smurf) and sat right up our asses for 2 minnutes and sped off around us, he was over the horizon in about 30 secs, Its nice to know he can do this without being a road terrorist...

Damn I wish this happened in Vic:
Can my car be impounded, immobilised or forfeited if I am caught speeding? Vehicles may be deemed to have been involved in hoon behaviour if they exceed the speed limit by 45km per hour or more. Drivers who have received a speed infringement under 45kmph and incurred no other offences cannot face impoundment, immobilisation or forfeiture of their vehicle. If my child is caught hooning in my car, can my car be impounded, immobilised or forfeited? Yes. Victoria Police may impound, immobilise or forfeit the vehicle used for the hoon driving offence, regardless of who owns that vehicle. |
