(vic) 735 Cops Caught Speeding Since 2003

[tab]

Part of my job is monitoring access logs and blocking dodgy websites, if I then (hypothetically of course) go home and download copious amounts of porn does that make me a hypocrite sending the wrong message? Are these two activities mutually exclusive - am I forbidden to do what I want in my own time because I get paid to stop others from doing it as part of my work?

Yes I realise it may not be breaking the law but it’s the same conundrum

Me too, but that doesn't make it right. If you're the one enforcing the law you should abide it. Sends out a wrong message.

Any person drink driving no matter what there occupation that I catch goes in the bin, speeding is a different issue as that is not my role ( p.s. I give alot of cautions for speeding, I dont condone it speeding, but sometimes a caution is just as good as a ticket if not better.) I got a speeding ticket in 2002 happens, those damn Queensland cameras 105 merging into a 110 from a 90 they gave me a 15 to 30 over guess what I paid it and got on with life.

Aren't we talking about uniformed cops on duty? They can do what ever the f*ck they want at home.

I dougbt any police have got away with drink driving on duty for many years.

[Dillz]

Yeah they shouldn't do that at all, I'm talking about unnecessary speeding.

That's true if they are off duty, but a totally different story for on duty cops in marked cop cars.

"hypothetically" scribr :ifiusethisimafag:

[SCRIBR]

in that case (where I can't get banned for making any assumptions...) I would say that your work & personal lifes are completely different

As has been said, cops are people & people get pissed & dont think about how dangerous driving drunk is...

Teachers do also have sh*tty kids, I know of a few :ifiusethisimafag:

Just another issue though. Even if you drive properly, you can be fined if the camera is faulty or a mobile speed camera operator had set the wrong speed on his equipment (happens frequently). But who are we to argue? Guilty until proven innocent.

This is an absolute fact in NSW but only on one area. Fixed digital speed cameras, owned and operated by the Roads and Tolls authority. I dont know about the other states but the law here acts in reverse whereby you are in fact guilty unless you can prove to the contrary. In essence you must scientifically defeat the technology.
