Yep....a cop last year pulled a 3 point turn to chase a speeding bike in
the Buller gorge. He didn't look and collected two bikes. He's going to
court. A local cop crashed his plainclothes car after drinking.....no
cover up, just busted like everyone else.
As much as I laugh about cops, their uniform demands respect, if not the
laws they enforce.I've never been busted for something I didn't do.
The only time I can think of a cop being given some slack was when a
country cop (sole charge) attended a fatal car smash on his day off,
with life saving gear. When the town cops turned up for backup they
smelt alcohol and breathalised him......he had been drinking and was
over the limit. So, like most people I thought "fair enough too" when he
was discharged without conviction. His good outweighed his bad.
Then after the court case it comes out the guy that caused the crash had
just left the cops place after a drinking session........
