how is it the same thing?? YOU paid for the rental car (and any damage you might cause), I'M the one who has to foot the bill for that police car, I own that car along with the rest of the country, and it shouldn't be used for anything other than police business. Yeah of course doing a burnout in a paddock is pretty harmless, and personally I think we should all be allowed to do it. But just you try and do it at a showground with people all about, and see if the cops just laugh it off...

Not split hairs... but the Police are actually state run agencies so its the people of the state who 'own' it. and as a west aussie im more than happy for my 0.0000000067 % stake in that car to be used on private property to do a demo he was asked to do.

Also the people of Carnamah (including the local CoC president) have come out in support of him. His worth as a copper far outways any "benifit" gained from sacking him

Try doing a burnout on a paddock at a showgrounds and getting away with it. You would be explaining it to a magistrate within a week...

I completely agree that it shows they are normal people.. but as normal people they should obey the rules normal people have to!

I'll bet 50% of them do. They are people, just like us, who do things just like us when they get behind the wheel.

I think its good to see a cop being able to let loose a bit.

I say let him go with a warning.

Burnout...in a dirt paddock?
Sensationalism?
Not unlike the the "hoons" in the local paper recently, who didn't actually have a vehicle.

typical media though, i bet if his Sarge or someone higher up found out about it, nothing would have been done. some do gooder sent it to the papers who hype it up

it was a bit of harmless show boating, not only that he had permission to do it from the organisers?

got nothing to do with hoon laws, they dont come into effect on private property.

gotta hate the media!! bunch of tight c#@ts!
