Default One Less cowboy

He got caught and has paid a very heavy price for such a minor offence as not having an MOT. He obviously thought he could get away with it right to the end. His previous disciplinary record suggest he had a 'cavalier attitude' full stop, not just to motoring law.

Gotta love it that these individuals and the media attention they get will then bring the Force (and to a lesser extent Forces around the country) into disrepute. At least he got done for it.

As the judge said, if the Police don't respect the law (or don't appear to), how can they expect the public to? It just undermines the hard work of the rest of the Officers who are there to maintain and uphold the law.

While in no way condoning what this t0sser did I cant help feeling there is something very wrong with our "justice" system that sends a man to prison for trying to fiddle a very minor motoring offence,while really nasty scrotes can get community service for some quite serious street crimes.Maybe he should be made to repay society in some form rather than have tens of thousands of our money spent to keep him at HMP for a few months.

Well, to be fair he lied on a statement, and thus was guilty of trying to pervert the course of justice, which for a Police Officer is a very serious offence to commit.

That, and as the judge said, he was being made an example of.

No wonder our prisons are full and we are bankrupt.If these people are not a danger to the public they should be made to pay us back,not put somewhere they will cost us even more.

What a knob, cant say the force will miss him.

Fair play to the judge, he was bang on with his comment about how the public will have no respect for the law if the police dont.

In one way you are right but bearing in mind his disciplinary record and his mountain of lies and deception in this case would you want to be stopped by him? You'd find he's charged you with murder etc instead of speeding.

In the great scheme of things the sentence is 100% correct.

But equally, as you said, the sentencing of scrotes needs looking at too.
