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

http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/pra...456532116?sv=8d1fa8074f3f0d69ece07f481ce4e24a

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?

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

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 I don't think its worthy of being sacked, the fine has been withdrawn, no harm no foul.

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.
