Saw this interesting article that I thought was just laughable !!!

How about Solving some real crimes please like maybe finding the people who broke into my store last year instead of wasting time on this kind of rubbish !

What kind of pathetic douche would fine a woman pushing a pram? Bad day? Dropped on head as a child?

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Must have been a hottie, just an excuse to get her details

 

[luck_of_the_irish]

What about the baby!, there's Child Endangerment here, we all know that you can run off the footpath and into traffic while being distracted talking & texting etc etc!.

Due to budget cuts they must be on a bigger bonus system to keep people in the pol(itician)ice force

Must have missed that memo

Loved the thing about how he "misinterpreted the definition of a vehicle". I mean, seriously?

That's just laughable

 

[Lazlow]

Can't help but feel there is more to the story, as there is no way a Senior Constable would misinterpret that law.

Theres more information here:

http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/wa/14637656/pram-pusher-mum-cops-a-penalty-for-using-mobile/

that a lot of other sites aren't reporting, such as that this happened April last year and the officer in question has been disciplined and it has been marked in his performance record. I don't think its worthy of being sacked, the fine has been withdrawn, no harm no foul.

That's just legal speak for "The idiot f#cked up big time"

I think the problem might be that the same cop is working on your case..... ;-)

The sad thing is that it gives the good police a bad name

 

[wasportsfan1]

[jonnov0007]

WOW!!! My workplace has had to call the cops twice in the last few months with a very slow reponse time
now i know what there really doing!!!

Sadly talking on your mobile or listening to music as a pedestrian might become a fine offense in VIC as too many people get hit my trams and cars in the cbd without watching.

Also the police force is useless cause the politicians made it useless. they no longer have the power to beat down a delinquent so no one is scared of them.
