Disqualified, on the run, and punching on with the cops

Look at it this way if punishments actually were in line with the demands of some RA members they would only have more time to clutter up others threads with their incessant whining. So I always see these stories as a bonus. In some cases they cant even wait for the actual trial before inserting the tired cliches they think pass for a witty insight/hammer blow at injustice. I can just see them shaking their heads with a look of all knowing but weary acceptance.

Interesting that he was charged with resisting arrest but not assault. Is there a difference between the two ?

Actually, the article points out that he was charged with five offences, but only listed three. He may still be charged with assault, but this will not make the finger wagging from the magistrate any more severe.

Agree. How much does a rapid system cost? Surely they would pay for themselves prettynquickly and keep the rest of community safer?

Given that it seems to be reliable and rather effective, it probably costs a fortune!

So he was bailed and will face the Magistrate in 3 weeks where he will get a severe tongue lashing.In the meantime would it not be proper to impound his ute?

I love RAPID. I’d cheerfully accept an increase in rates or whatever just to fund the installation of that system in every cop car in the territory. It finds arsehats like this piece of scum and gets them off the road, even if only for a short time. This results in the roads being safer for me, my family and other road users.

I hope the cop who got punched is OK, and managed to land a few solid thumps in reply.
