[boothy] Vic top traffic cop caught speeding...

[Tensop]

hicks have thicker skulls and can handle being driven into at higher speeds

[ALLMTR]

why not stop calling in crimes altogether? that'll learn em'

I agree, stop calling. Don't you know we have donuts and burgers to consume.

[morerevsm3]

he has admitted in writting that he was driving without due care, shouldn't he be charged with that as well? and if you follow his propagander, he was also driving in a manner dangerous to the public

[ALLMTR]

and murder. People die from speeding and he is part of the problem!

[Shifty]

Agreed, they would have no problems sticking a 'hoon' for one or both of these if they made such an admission.

Anyone keen to contact ethical standards or make an official complaint to police?

[260BC]

Yay! ALLMTR has come over to the dark side.

[Monk]

What a load of shit.

If someone can explain to me just how the system has worked I'd appreciate it.

I'd probably also then call you a liar.

[Ansch]

self indulged bastard... oh look.. .my own plan has worked on myself..i'm so fucking awesome..

So he's 25% of the way to losing his license, because he missed a speed sign and accidentally drove through a country town at ~70km/hr instead of 60km/hr without the slightest hint of any incident occurring. Infact the drive was so unremarkable he completely forgot about it until he recieved a letter 3 months later.

Thats fair and reasonable.

[Paddington]

Did the flash of the camera wake him up?

Or was he asleep for 3 weeks until the fine arrived in the post?

He was busy speaking down to us mere mortals in TV commercials.

It's not fair and reasonable for him. He should be resigning.
Instead he is not, what a hypocrite. Spends his life telling people speed kills and to wipe off five, he must have killed someone doing 10km/h over.
The media should be absolutely slaughtering him in their editorials. I doubt they will though.

[methodmania]

Well you would have to be naive to believe that this was the one and only time he has ever sped.

It was just the one time that he got caught.

Victoria Police operate as an extension to the Australian Taxation Office

RRIiiiiiiiiiiiggghhhhtttt

[oioioioioi]

Yeah I don't agree either. I think he should get an arbitrary (~$80) fine and 1 point deduction. Just like everyone else SHOULD.

I think the punishment for this sort of offence shouldn't really be monetary/lose your license type stuff. The best way to make people comply is to make it a pain in the arse, rather than cost them money. I hate having my time wasted more than anything. Maybe make them pay the fine in person at the RTA.
