Wall wall so annoyed about this -DRINK DRIVING police
So annoyed about this - DRINK DRIVING policeman gets away
with it on a "technicality".
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/m...er/4095289.stm
Police drink-drive case collapsed
A police force is investigating alleged procedural errors which
led to a drink-driving charge against a senior officer being
dropped in court.
Insp Christopher Cropper of Greater Manchester Police (GMP)
walked free on Monday after the case against him collapsed
on a legal technicality.
Mr Cropper was arrested after colleagues noticed the smell of
alcohol on him as he arrived for work. The officer is not on
active duty pending the outcome of the review.
'Absolutely disgusting'
John Sparrow of the Campaign Against Drinking and Driving
(CADD) said: "It is absolutely disgusting. It is sending out the
wrong message to the general public.
"I hope they find out what went wrong because if the police
cannot organise their own affairs, how can they expect to
deal with the public?"
Mr Cropper, 48, from Altrincham, was charged with drink
driving but his solicitor Nick Freeman successfully argued
that proper procedures had not been followed when
Mr Cropper was arrested.
Mr Freeman said his client should have been cautioned
before he was questioned.
Mr Cropper was subsequently acquitted on drink driving charges.
GMP said it will now consider whether or not there are any internal misconduct issues to address.

There is a woman police officer in my area who had been in a crash and was over the limit and on her own, case went to court and was in the papers.
The best bit, she claimed she was at the pub and met a bloke, let him drive her car and ran off when they crashed and she didn't know who he was, she got let off.
What do you reckon your chances of getting away with that load of shat as a member of the general public?? NONE!!!
