Message: [QUOTE="Jason Simmons, post: 3039276, member: 8275"] I do. It’s hypocrisy at it’s worst. One of the worst things in the world, in my opinion. But if you are referring to police enforcing the drink driving rules of the road and then getting caught themselves drink driving, I doubt you are considering that unlike most people we get punished twice. Once by the courts same as everyone else (though invariably harder as we are supposed to know better) and secondly by our employer, which is often far more significant than the court punishment. Getting demoted for instance, is a usual outcome of internal disciplinary action for police getting caught drink driving. Now that may not sound like much of a punishment, until you look at our pay scales. We lose a rank, we can lose up to $25k a year until that rank is regained, if it ever is, with subsequent consequences against our super. Ever heard of anyone else getting fined $25k a year for ‘n’ number of years, for drink driving? In saying all that, as I mentioned in the other thread, I don’t agree with every policy or law in existence. I think very low range drink drivers should be dealt with by means other than courts for instance, and I don’t think minor possession of Cannabis should be a crime that ends you up in court, either. But as of today, them’s the rules... [/QUOTE]
