Robo cop returns.

That should have been "Probably would do You a fair bit of good."

Being a former victim of this illustrious profession in another State and in a very dubious stop watch estimation of speed I would attach very little relevance to a persons years in their job and driving experience as sole reasons to accept their ability to visually estimate speeds while standing by the road. Actual documented training and a high pass result in that exact position of standing by the side of a road with varying passing speeds would be relevant.

In my case the actual accusation's at the time and the actual Court charge of a minor speeding offence on a country highway (the only accusation that I was guilty of) were radically different. More telling were comments made at the time of stopping me that strongly suggested they only took off after me because they thought that they recognised the car type and colour as someone they knew from past incidents. It was someone who although I had never personally met them I did have some knowledge of their driving record because of small town scuttlebutt.

Hmmm, partial putting foot in mouth and partial editing problem and cut a bit out.

Although the QLD Police Commissioner admitted that the "estimation by standing beside the road" was not supported by him or the Courts I believe that there is an error in using the word "Estimation" while referring to following a suspected speeding vehicle. That to me is a case of matching the supposedly speeding vehicle and reading off the speed, not estimating it, and I don't see a problem I that.

Ah well, we all have a horror story to tell, but at the end of the day every time I've been booked for speeding I was guilty and prepared to pay the fine. There are those among us who see it as their natural born right to A. Speed, and B. whinge about how they were victimised when they were caught.

so that's ok then? He wasn't talking about your guilt/fines but his own.

Illustrious my ar$e. How about corrupt.

Well you see, even in retirement I've been helpful, you've got that off your chest now Steve.
