Oh dear, bet the traffic cop got a real stormer nicking him :grin:
Thats his job gone.....
-
he should be jailed :laugh:
-
There shouldn't be a prescribed limit, i'd ban all levels off drink driving.
-
I think its shocking he was caught drink driving but what apart from him being a cop is so special about him compared to all the other people caught drink driving , no insurance or driving licence etc etc that doesn't hit the news .
I would double the fines and take the cars off all the above and hit them hard what good is fineing someone for no insurance when the fine is less than what they would pay for insurance and as for drink driving it should be a minimum £1000 fine regardless of who they are or if they are working or not ........
Rant over .......

if you need to ask why he is different a suggest you go pull your head out your arse :grin:

that is not worth a reply !

I agree, not sure what your trying to say Barry.
Everyone caught drink driving / driving with no insurance should have their vehicle seized and crushed - even if 'stolen' from a family member...

well he has been a cop for how long ? so he should know the rules and the damage it can cause if he hits someone so he should be a bit more responsible than he has been :smiley:

He should have been more responsible and know the rules my point was he is no better than anyone who drives drunk or without insurance etc etc and its only because of the job he had it hits the papers .
He will be fined and banned and will lose his job , pension etc etc and imo he deserves all he gets .

Fair enough, I take your point, but then it sounds like you're saying that anyone who isn't a policeman should be able to drink drive, then plead ignorance?
I'm not a cop, but I (and at least everyone who holds a driving licence I hope) know the rules on drink driving and the potential consequences. Sure, I've not seen the consequences first hand, but that doesn't make me more likely to do it.

I think the point here is the fact that it is everyone's responsibility to follow the law and not drink drive or commit any other offence. But when you are paid not only to be responsible to follow but uphold the law and prevent others breaking it then there Is call for concern..
