COMPLAI T
20 Ted, As a CO STITUTIO ALIST I expressed in previous correspondence my disapproval of how the Government has been misusing and abusing the legal processes and by this undermined not just mine but other citizens also constitutional rights such as to maintain a separation of powers between the legislators, the executives and the judiciary.

As I understand it there was a case before the High Court of Australia some time ago where a municipal council refused to deal with an application by a ratepayer and the High Court of Australia then held that by the refusal of the council to adhere to its own by-laws then by this it no longer could bind this ratepayer to any building requirement because the council by its conduct to refuse to determine the application must be seen as having invalidated any enforcement of the requirement to apply. Where a person is required to make an application and does so and has the application refused for consideration then it invalidates the requirement to make an application. Therefore it is not relevant if the council were to dismiss or grant the application as that is a different issue, but it was obligated to at the very least consider and determine the application.
.

40

Translate this to current legal requirements, a person is required to obtain a driver licence for the class of motor vehicle(s) the person desires to operate. If therefore the person does obtain the required licence but the State suspend it not because of being incompetent to operate such vehicle within the class of vehicles permitted to do so but for ulterior purposes, such as some alleged unpaid fine, then effectively the government invalidates the requirement of having to have a driver licence.
.

45

The same with the registration of a motor vehicle that is required to be checked for roadworthiness. Where then the owner has it registered and paid for the registration then the government cannot have the vehicle deregistered because of alleged unpaid fine(s) because to do so would make obsolete any requirement to register a motor vehicle. Again, a person required to comply with legal provisions has the right that as long as he/she has complied with and continue to comply with the conditions to obtain a driver licence/motor vehicle registration then any

condition used to rob the person of this right not associate with the conditions originally applicable to obtain the licence/registration invalidates the requirement to obtain a licence/registration.
.

10

With other words, if the police/court/Vicroads/Sheriff were to suspend my driver licence/registration or in any other way were to tamper with my motor vehicle, being it wheel clamping or otherwise then it would actually commit offences. Wheelclamping a vehicle is contrary to motor vehicle registration purposes as a vehicle must be roadworthy at all times and any person tampering with a motor vehicle to make it unroadworthy (as effectively wheelclamping does) would then invalidate any legal requirement of a vehicle to be roadworthy.
.

15

The legal provisions are that a persons drivers licence is suspended when attaining 12 demerit points. I have allegedly now been awarded/credited/punished with 1 demerit point and hence any attempt to suspend my drivers licence of an alleged non payment of a fine would invalidate the demerit point system altogether and I could run up thousands of demerit points and it could never be applied to me.
.

20

The demerit point system was to drive home to the relevant driver that no matter once financial position the demerit point system would punish all offending drivers the same. Therefore, to suspend a driver licence of attaining 1 demerit point for allegedly not having paid a fine would be a misuse of the very principles of the demerit point system.
.

25

The police are a law enforcement agency where as Vicroads is not as such as it is rather a department to register motor vehicles, holders of driver licences, etc. Therefore, when the Police advised me using the Vicroads envelope that I had incurred one demerit point then it abused\d its position and transgressed from law enforcement to the administrative part that is within the powers of Vicroads.
.

30

35

Where the Police notified me of the 1 demerit point despite that an application was on foot and not determined to have set aside the Infringement Notice order of the Infringement Registrar as I had all along from onset notified the police upon the original issue of the Infringement Notice to oppose the jurisdiction of any court to hear and determine the matter then the police disregarded DUE PROCESS OF LAW as it went ahead with the 1 demerit point even so at no time had any judicial decision been made as to dispose of the OBJECTIO TO JURISDICTIO and as such the police unduly inflicted harm upon me.
.

40

No one is going to deny that police officers and even other emergency vehicles may at times have to exceed the speed limit to arrive at a scene where a persons life may be depending upon every second the rescue or other services can be attending, but it is another matter where police simply use a siren and their lights to get through an intersection and then having done so switch it off and then stop at the nearest milk bar and purchase sandwiches and eat them. This I reported to the Chief Commissioner long ago I observed being done by police officers.
.

45

As a CO STITUTIO ALIST I hold it very important that we use the RULE OF LAW and not just brag during elections to pursue Law & Order and then after an election appear not to care less but that we all are and remain fair dinkum about it.

Constitutionally we have Ministers appointed to head departments and being the responsible Ministers for this.

Likewise the State government must manage the vehicles used by police officers and ensure that as much an ordinary owner is liable to identify a driver or the owner cops the Infringement notice then likewise this must be applied by the State government in regard of any government vehicle, not only the police, that the person who signed the vehicle out is deemed to be as like the owner accountable for any Infringement Notice or must identify another person who is claimed to have driven the vehicle.

Hansard 1-3-1898 Constitution Convention Debates (Official Record of the Debates of the ational Australasian Convention) QUOTE Mr. GORDO .-Well, I think not. I am sure that if the honorable member applies his mind to the subject he will see it is not abstruse. If a statute of either the Federal or the states Parliament be taken into court the court is bound to give an interpretation according to the strict hyper-refinements of the law. It may be a good law passed by "the sovereign will of the people," although that latter phrase is a common one which I do not care much about. The court may say-"It is a good law, but as it technically infringes on the Constitution we will have to wipe it out." As I have said, the proposal I support retains some remnant of parliamentary sovereignty, leaving it to the will of Parliament on either side to attack each other's laws. END QUOTE

Therefore if the State government cannot even manage to comply itself with the relevant legislative provisions then it cannot enforce it against other motor vehicle owners.

If speed detection cameras are not intended as a so to say cash cow but for purpose to pursue the safety of all road-users then the Government will ensure that all Government vehicles that are deemed to have incurred Infringement notices are appropriately pursued as to whom the respective driver were. Indeed, it would be a total absurdity to claim that unidentified persons are speeding in police vehicles as this amount to that the police have no control over who is using police vehicles and that then implies that unauthorised persons are using police motor vehicles. Then this could mean that for example unsuspected motorist, in particular women, may be subjected to being directed to pull over by the siren and light of a police motor vehicle but being driven his means that society at large is placed in danger and no person could any longer deem it safe to obey directions of what may appear to be police officers because the motor vehicle driver wouldnt have a clue and couldnt risk to be caught out by criminal elements because the state government cannot even manage the security of its own police fleet.
.

50

It must be clear therefore that the onus is upon the Police Minister to ensure that police motor vehicles are only used by authorised persons and that the authorised persons signing for the vehicle then is responsible for any alleged offences involving the vehicle and unless and until the Police Minister has accomplished this regime there is no legal justification for the courts to enforce or seek to enforce any alleged offences against any other motorist or motor vehicle owner. The law must be applied without favour and clearly the court now cannot accept that this is done. As I indicated also in previous correspondence the Police themselves are challenging speed readings and so successfully and obviously if the speed detection camera is deemed to be

incorrect or cannot be relied upon in one case then it should apply to all cases as then the onus must remain with the enforcement agency to prove why somehow the speed detection camera was not working properly in one case but was in every other case.
.

10

For the record I have at times indicated to police vehicle drivers that an indicator wasnt working on their vehicle and then generally they then direct me to pull over and they then do a road worthy check on my vehicle for daring to point out their vehicle is unroadworthy and dangerous to be used, but so far they always failed to find anything against me then. It just shows that the police mentality is not one about safety for the general community but rather special rules that they are above the RULE OF LAW.
.

15

As the police persisted with their vexatious litigation against me regarding an alleged speeding offence I for one will continue to pursue my constitutional and other legal rights and the police may just discover, as the Commonwealth previously did, that this time they took on the wrong person who isnt going to be bullied into submission.
.

20

As I made clear I opposed any court to have jurisdiction in the matter and the police therefore required first of all to prove to a court of law of competent jurisdiction to first make a ruling after having held a JURISDICTION hearing as no such hearing ever took place then all and any orders will be ULL A D VOID and I view scandalise the Magistrates Court of Victoria as to issue purported Infringement Notice Order where no jurisdiction was ever invoked.
.

25

Lets be very clear about it that as the Infringement Court never did invoke jurisdiction then any orders by any court to purportedly enforce this order by warrant or otherwise would be without LEGAL FORCE. Indeed any wheel clamping will be deemed to be a conduct of malicious damage and to undermine the very purposes of having a vehicle road worthy.
.

30

As I indicated in the past the Government may desire to collect monies but it must do so in an appropriate manner and I view this it isnt doing when it uses the Infringement Act 2006 as set out already also extensively in previous correspondences. This act remains ULTRA VIRES, in view that I legally challenged it and as such cannot be enforced either against any other motorist/owner unless and until, if ever at all, a court of law with competent jurisdiction declares the legislation to be INTRA VIRES!
.

35

Perhaps the police officers may be so stoned (drunk) that they do not even know when they are signing out a police vehicle and/or speeding? Well, perhaps the police minister should re-educate the relevant police that if they do not know they are driving a police vehicle then they better do not drive a police vehicle at all.
.

40

Also, are there no log books and police vehicle radio cameras that records police officers when they are using police vehicles? So, are we now having that the police officer whom signed out a particular police vehicle and may be recorded using the vehicle nevertheless cannot remember doing so when it comes to speeding or other traffic offences?
.

45

50

What about the radio records that enabled to have records checked as to who was answering calls in a particular motor vehicle? What about the partner who was in such police vehicle were they perhaps also stoned or asleep that they too didnt know who was driving? Or well were there not reports of UFOs? Perhaps aliens of outer space were driving the police vehicles and this is counted by you as a boost in law enforcement agents?
.

I just wonder if police vehicles had unknown drivers speeding, etc, then is there any record as to whom returned the said vehicles to the depots? Or, perhaps the aliens of outer space had them

returned not wanting to make their presence known but just that the police now did nevertheless to make known they do not know who are driving so many police vehicles around. As after all not every police vehicle is allegedly detected speeding and so how many other police vehicles might be driven by so to say outer space aliens? Perhaps some alien may have driven my vehicle too, after all if they can do so with police vehicles perhaps impersonating police officers then why not do so with me and everyone else? Or, can we just assume that the legislation is being disregarded by the police themselves and they use nonsense of excuses and you with your Law & Order slogan for the election simply allowed them to do so?

20

MORE than 100 police issued with fines for breaking road laws have escaped punishment because they refused to admit they were driving.

25

The 138 incidents of running red lights and speeding by up to 40km/h over the limit involved officers who were not actively pursuing criminals and not rushing to crime scenes. Victoria Police said it was unable to identify the driver in all the incidents - leading to fines being scrapped - despite admitting officers signed a log book each time they used a vehicle.

30

As debate rages about the accuracy of speed cameras, documents released under Freedom of Information reveal 1477 infringements were issued to police for non-operational offences in the past five years. But 61 per cent of those were then dropped by Victoria Police. Ordinary members of the public who appeal against a fine are let off in only 3 per cent of cases. Start of sidebar.

The statistics show Victoria Police failed to recoup $109,280 by not enforcing fines against its officers. The revelations prompted criticism from Police Minister Peter Ryan.

10

"Except ... where duty requires, police officers should have to comply with the road rules like all other drivers," Mr Ryan said. On one occasion a Victoria Police vehicle was detected speeding 40km/h above the road limit. The driver should have been banned from driving for six months, had six demerit points added to their licence and paid a $519 fine.

15

Instead, Victoria Police said it was "unable to identify" the driver. A further 769 offenders - breaking road rules in their squad cars but not in the pursuit of crime - were simply told not to do it again.

20

Officers escaped receiving 916 demerit points - enough to ban 76 cops. Rose Sutera, whose son Anthony died at the hands of a speeding driver in Mill Park last year, said police should not speed unless fighting crime.

25

"It's a disgrace and just wrong," Ms Sutera said. "Why is it one rule for them and another for us?" Victoria Police said the figures were "disappointing".

30
"Police officers are expected to set an example in obeying speed limits," a spokeswoman said. "It is disappointing a number of police officers have been detected when not exempt from the road rules." But the force argued police officers had been "penalised accordingly".

35
"Police, as with all members of the community, are able to apply for an official warning under strict criteria," the spokeswoman said.

40

"This includes an admission of guilt, a speed under 10km/h over the limit, and a good driving record with no infringements issued for the previous two years. "Warnings are an officially recorded sanction - once you receive an official warning motorists are not eligible to apply again."

45

In dozens of incidents where the driver was detected speeding between 10km/h and 40km/h above the limit, Victoria Police said it was unable to identify the driver and no one was penalised in any way. kailaj@heraldsun.com.au

Fred Posted at 11:52 PM September 10, 2011 What this shows more than anything else, is how hard it is when driving in traffic and concentrating on hundreds of signs and hazards to watch your speedo really closely.

p7 12-9-2011 and the need to watch the road constantly makes it really hard not to be caught out occasionally. If our cops can't manage to avoid speed infringements in ordinary driving, then how the heck can it be expected that the general public can do as well or better? Yes speed is dangerous, but enforcement has to be reasonable and compliance realistically possible, or it denies natural justice.

Its a wonder any police have still got their licenses given the amount of time they are required to spend on the roads dodging speed and red light cameras. If the system wasn't excusing them we would not have any cops on the roads catching those hoons - you know the ones overtaking >40kmh - intent on wiping out you and your family on your way to the shops. Don't blame the cops-it's the justice system that realises they need the cops out in cars. Comment 10 of 183

Undervalued teacher of ascot vale Posted at 6:21 AM Today Of course they cant identify the driver, they are all wearing different shades of blue! I cant believe so few have been caught and so few have been charged. In my line of work I see at minimum 5 police cars doing illegal turns or speeding a,day, all to get ahead,of traffic. I thaught the law was that they could not do such things unless they had the sirens and lights blaring.

Maria of Ormond Posted at 6:38 AM Today Well, it's all news to me and I have a fine under 10km, 1 demerit point, am guilty (I think) and plan to pay it. It has been 15 years or more since I was caught speeding last. I am a member of the public. Why has this law been kept secret? And how can it be an unidentified driver who cannot plead guilty or otherwise in so many cases? You cannot hope for respect with the inaptitude of Mr. Garrett in your offices, with the ethical standards of a moose in government. Why plead not guilty when the rule is 'that it will go easier for you if you plead guilty'? Because it is the whole force pleading 'not guilty' of something in this instance, is it not, and offering the defense as worthy of the 'court'. Not good enough. Comment 23 of 183

p10 Comment 25 of 183 The Real Jack Posted at 6:47 AM Today

12-9-2011

Funny this comes up now,last Friday arvo in front of Mentone station police car runs red light,oblivious to it.No siren, no lights.

Comment 26 of 183 Jack Posted at 7:02 AM Today Do we need to see police cars with sirens on everytime they need to get to an emergency, or to help a someone that has called for police? The blistful ignorance i have of melbourne being a wonderful family friendly state would be destroyed and my thoughts would be there are a lot of bad crimes happening these days. Let them go, why do we need to make the police job worthless, we need these people. Comment 27 of 183 James of Cranbourne Posted at 7:10 AM Today Yeah that's fair. If one of my staff gets caught speeding in a company registered vehicle and I am unable to prove who was driving. The fine still has to be paid by the business. It's just the demerit points that don't get allocated. But there's another charge added on top for not naming the driver. How is this fair....and also, how can this not be seen as revenue raising?

Can anyone answer this? Posted at 7:28 AM Today In the case of the policewoman who won her speeding case in court, she was 20 years old, right? Why was she not displaying P plates and why do we never see P plates on police vehicles? Is this another rule different for them? Comment 31 of 183

Andy Forgotten Middle Class of Melbourne Posted at 7:33 AM Today I am not surprised by this. Together with "ncouraging" a work experience kid to give evidence on a speed camera confirmed as accurate, this is typical of a police force who has lost it's moral compaass. This comes back to the poor leadership the force has had for the last 10 years who have not set the standard/culture required. Unfortunately Tenez le Droit (Hold the Right) are only words for Victoria Police. Comment 33 of 183

p11 12-9-2011 Oath of Vic police is now "Do as I demand, not as I do, and watch me get away with. I dare you to try and thanks for filling the government coffers." Comment 34 of 183 Blue and proud.... of Melbourne. Posted at 7:43 AM Today Let's get this straight... Police are always fighting crime whether they are speeding to a burglary or just patrolling slowly. You cannot catch a driver traveling at 80 km/h in a 60 km/h zone if you are sitting on 60 km/h. Mahematicallt impossible. Police therefore have to exceed the speed limit to do their job. Even when speeding past a speed camera in an emergency situation with lights and sirens going, requires police submit a time consuming written report before the matter is considered and the fine withdrawn. Absolute, time wasting nonsense and just ridiculous beauracracy. As for Peter Ryan comments; he has no idea about anything to do with policing and is just a hack politician, and very average Police Minister who speaks before he thinks, as we've seen many times since he got the job.... Comment 35 of 183 Bobman of Melbourne Posted at 7:43 AM Today What a joke! Shame it doesn't work for the masses! Comment 36 of 183 Andrew of Prahran Posted at 7:43 AM Today It would be interesting to see the breakdown of the ranks involved in those incidents??

Get away with it. Posted at 8:08 AM Today If our company is unable to identify a driver, we have to pay a $600 fine plus the speeding fine. If police are exempt to this law, why isnt the public? Fix it Mr Ryan. Comment 45 of 183

JP Posted at 8:11 AM Today Police are exempt from the Road Rules under section 305 in the course of carrying out their duty. There are reasons why police are seen going through red lights or speeding. Not all jobs are attended with lights and sirens. Comment 46 of 183

Mick from Tas Posted at 8:21 AM Today Police must keep abreast of traffic in order to detect offences. Even when not directly engaged in a matter, its conceivable that they may match the speed of a vehicle they think is speeding, or want to get closer to a vehicle to identify the driver before it disappears, all sorts of things the a diligent police officer will do that may lead to being detected as speeding, and its not unreasonable for the police to not recall the reasons for exceeding the limit givent he amount of time during one shift that police will attempt to confirm the commission of an offence.

12-9-2011

Between which dates? Log books haven't been filled out since June as part of protected industrial action. Therefore drivers can not be identified. Next.

Comment 53 of 183 the Truth of Melbourne Posted at 8:38 AM Today This is a complete joke - not only do police have to sign a vehicle log book but they have to submit a running sheet of their activities for the day and that sets out who was the driver and who was the 'observer'. If they say that those documents are false they can face criminal charges and they should - if they are failing to complete the required police records they can face discipline charges - and they should! Time for the police to do as they say and Ken Lay needs to announce that there will be zero tolerance to such corrupt police practices. Comment 54 of 183

Every member knows that when taking charge of a police unit, the driver fills in a vehicle condition report on the state of the car and his name and number are recorded. The member then fills in a running sheet which again has their details. It beggars belief that police command still consider the general population as ignorant fools by saying members cant be identified. Comment 59 of 183

Comment 71 of 183 Patrick Ansell Posted at 9:21 AM Today To all the members who are criticising those writing to the Editor, read the Herald Sun article before over reacting. The article is saying that command cant identify certain offending members, it is not saying that police cant speed or that they need to have lights and sirens blazing. The issue is, accountability and honesty. If you cant distinguish between the two, god help us if you are investigators. Comment 72 of 183

Pol. and Monash. Strange how the agents of the Government, no matter which party, have one rule where we should all drive slower than a walking horse, but the rule shouldn't apply to them. Time Ryan honoured his election promise, put the bloody cameras at known accident and incident sites only (lets seta criteria of minimum standards before one can be fitted) and brought the tolerances back into line withe the ADR's and most States.

12-9-2011

Just cause they sign a log book doesn't mean at the time they were driving the car. Other police borrow the car when they are in the office to 'pop out' to do something. I believe police have an advantage as they know what to say to get out of the ticket, that if the public knew of and used they could get out of as well. There is also case law that says police going about there business, driving around patrolling, are performing police duties and are exempt from the road rules, be they going to a 'job' or not.

Deb of Sydney SW Posted at 10:30 AM Today Ah let them be - they put up with all the crap situations, week in, week out. The public speeds as well, it is just they do not get caught each and everytime. And to be honest, who knows whether the speed cameras are reading the correct speed. They are a cash cow for the government - they are not there to save lives, never have been. And if there are two in a police car and they share the driving? Honestly we get up in arms over the slightest thing - it wouild nice to see as much outrage over kids being treated badly in the foster system or something else worthy. Comment 106 of 183

If you think you can do a better job then join up and prove it. But I bet you wont join up why the pay is so crap, so just stop whinging. Comment 107 of 183

Bob from Sunny Coast of Q'ld Posted at 10:44 AM Today Well as much as i admire and have a great deal of respect for the Police and what they have to put up with in our society this does'nt mean they become exempt from paying fines I'am no that they have to write up reports on any vehicle that they and sign off at end of operation the old saying do the crime do the time. Not able to ID what a lot of rot.I'am disappointed to say the least.

Not nearly good enough. If the average citizen tried this we would get summonsed to Court and face the expensive and unfair legal system. This is not acceptable. Its nothing but a loophole that they're not even trying very hard to fix. The driver denies driving so they scrap the fine??? Whoever is assigned to be driving the particular patrol car should be assumed to be driving, and that person should wear the fine. Like if someone tried to back out of being the driver, but it was my car. THEY WOULD COME AFTER ME. I'm going to try this next time and see what happens. You'll be able to read about the outcome of Facebook. I'll remove my privacy settings so everyone can read about it, and compare. Comment 113 of 183 roy bird of adelaide Posted at 10:52 AM Today If a person signs out a car and he/she is on their own, how can they say they were not driving? One law for them and one for us.

Mel, formerly of Melbourne of SW Posted at 11:26 AM Today If two police officers in the car can't remember who was driving then I suggest the fine be doubled and shared between the occupants in the car, and when you try this lame excuse which is tantemount to deception then double demerit points be issued to both.

p22 12-9-2011 Nice example coppers. Good integrity. Let's get this right. An officer can pull a driver over ask them if they were speeding, the driver denies the speeding accusation, yet the officer still issues a ticket. Officer gets caught speeding, says it wasn't me, end of story. Since this is obviously a double standard I feel the Police force has some serious questions to answer.

Comment 132 of 183 enigma Posted at 11:45 AM Today To all of you here defending the police; you are completely missing the point. They are getting off because they deny being at the wheel, get it!!! Do not lecture us on police duty, because any of those duties where speed is justifiable is completely irrelevant to the point of this article. Read it again, or as many times as it takes to get it through to you. Comment 133 of 183 jason of west Posted at 11:51 AM Today funny it always seems to be in the line of duty, its a pity i have seen them put ont sirens and lights to get through a red light only to puul into a fast food joint and dont even go into the issue that they are the best drivers in the world that is why they are allowed to use a phone while driving as well.u want respect lead by example Comment 134 of 183 Truth of Melbourne Posted at 11:55 AM Today Police can break the speed limit in the course of their duties and this does not have to be when they are rushing to a job or chasing offenders. There is case law from the Northern Territory which backs this up. Also every time a member of Victoria Police gets a speeding file they have to justify the fact of why they were speeding. If they cannot they are fined. The Fire Fighters and Ambulance service can speed and do not need to justify if they have a speeding file. Perhaps some here are barking up the wrong tree. Comment 135 of 183 Lochlann of greensborough Posted at 12:05 PM Today For a while now I have believed that the Police live by the motto "Do as I say, not as I do", and this just confirms that belief. For them to give the excuse that they could not identify who a driver was I find hard to believe. They write in a log book each time they take a vehicle out. It is the ultimate responsibility of that individual to be accountable for that particular vehicle. Comment 136 of 183 Matty Mark of Melb Posted at 12:05 PM Today

If ever pulled up by a police officer for something small that you are fined for and complain, they will be the first to tell you that they have NEVER been fined for ANY traffic offense EVER.

Greg of Chelsea Posted at 12:14 PM Today JP Posted at 8:11 AM Today. In some cases you may be right JP, but just the other day I was stationery at a set of lights on Nepean Highway with a marked police vehicle in the far right lane. When the lights turned green the driver absolutely floored his accelerator and was obviously doing way more than the 60kph limit. At the next set of lights I caught up with him and realized that he was not, as you say, carrying out his duty. I have observed several similar instances over the years and it would seem apparent that many police officers disobey road rules simply because they know that most times they can get away with it!

Kelly of West Gippsland VIC Posted at 12:25 PM Today As far as I am concerned, police are trained to drive safely at what would be dangerous for anyone else, so it really doesnt bother me that police are speeding, as they can do it safely.

Comment 142 of 183 Smile of Melbourne Posted at 12:29 PM Today Maybe if the Police got a decent payrise they could afford to pay the fine. Comment 143 of 183 Cathy G of Melbourne Posted at 12:31 PM Today Some time ago, I was in a car with my copper brother-in-law while he was *off duty*. At least twice he got the car up to over 170kph while overtaking other cars. When I challenged him on it, he said he'd been trained to handle a car at those speeds. When I asked what would happen if another copper saw him, he said that he knew all the other coppers in the area and they were all his mates (this was a rural district), that they all sped, and that they routinely turned a blind eye to each other in situations like speeding. I'm not suggesting all coppers are like this, but a fraction of them certainly think they're exempt from the rules. Comment 144 of 183 Les Palmer of vermont Posted at 12:33 PM Today

Kelly of West Gippsland VIC Posted at 12:25 PM Today. How dare you thumb your nose at irresponsible drivers, whether they are police officers or not. Let me run it by you as simply as I can Kelly. No matter how well-trained a driver you might be, If a kangaroo jumps out in front of your car, or the actions of another bad driver cause you to crash, you have a far greater chance of survival if you are travelling within the speed limit rather than a speed well in excess of the limit. ie SPEED DOES KILL! It is not rocket science Kelly! Comment 154 of 183 Kumara of Melbourne Posted at 1:37 PM Today Think the officers do their best job. Quite reasonable that they can't identify the driver of the police vehicle at the time of offending, yes, it's invisible. But how incredible they find if it's an ordinary driver? If it's only road fines, how do we believe all other offences. Vic police too bad the way they move for the last couple of months, crime statistics, cheif commisioner, speed fines, etc. Can we still rely on the police?

Patrick A Posted at 1:41 PM Today To Neil of up North. Enforcing dicipline is clear cut and identifying members who have been assigned a unit is simple. Problem is, members like you would rather ignore a problem than address it. Supervisors and Sub Officers have a duty to oversee their charges. If logs arent being filled in, then charge the member under the Police Regulations Act. This is how you fix a problem, you dont ignore it by saying, "If only it was that clear cut" Comment 157 of 183

Driver of Melbourne Posted at 1:56 PM Today Awesome to see that you are one of the gullible ones who fall for being brainwashed by authorities, Cathy of Hughesdale. We just came back from USA/Canada. The drivers there often exceeded the speed limit by 10 sometimes 15 kph/mph. Yet we saw no accidents, people courteously moving aside for faster cars, giving way to other cars, bikes, pedestrians. In other words, they SHARED the road. Unlike here in Vic, where it's just "Me, me, me! Screw the others for going over 2kph, I'm staying here in the RHS lane just because I'm doing 5kph under the speed limit". In the 1 day I've been back, I've witnessed 1 almost accident (driver didn't bother looking) and a 3-4 car pile up. Speed doesn't kill, it's driver inattention and inexperience that does it.

In answer to "can anyone answer this" (Comment 27) - yeah I can answer it. The policewoman was a senior constable at the time of the incident which means she has had minimum 4 years of service. Minimum age for joining is 18, which makes her at the absolute minimum 22 years of age. Which means of course that she probably WASN'T a P-plater.

p27 12-9-2011 Another example of a mismanaged police force.If you sign the log book for a car then you are accountable & therefore, like the rest of the community, should be deemed to be the driver or sign the declaration nominatng the driver. When fines are rec'd by Corporations they have to say who was assigned the vehicle at the time & that person then receives a fine notice in the mail. And the comments about some police just take a car to do this & that - head to Macca's to buy lunch well 'Hello', what a great way to manage a vehicle fleet v- just to let whoever wants a car to take it without any form of accountability. NOW is the opportunity for Police Mgmt to fix this & have that person to whom the car is assigned deemed the driver.

Comment 168 of 183 Robert D of Cranbourne Posted at 2:41 PM Today of course its one rule for the police and one rule for the public. Those who think otherwise are just deluded. If an active member of the police wishes to contest a fine then they aproach the union who act on their behalf (including court costs) if the public wish to contest a fine they have to pay out of their own pocket. The costs are prohibitive in most cases so the general public see it as to costly and time consuming.

p28 12-9-2011 Do the maths. 1477 fines over 5 years which equates to a total of 2.7% of the police force. Can't see any real difference here to the 3% of public Comment 174 of 183 Rupert Posted at 3:47 PM Today When I'm driving my Police car and stop to grab something to eat or drink - which of course I'm entitled to do - I'll generally park in the nearest available spot, in case I m required to expediently return to my vehicle and attend to someone robbing your house, or perhaps seriously assaulting you or a family member. However, this is delayed if my car is parked in a designated parking spot, which is likely to be all the way back in the boonies. However, after gauging the lack of community support based upon reader s comments, from now I promise I ll park in the nearest designated parking spot - no matter how far away - and won't put myself or my colleague at risk by speeding or running red lights either. That way I won t have to waste time at work answering silly speed camera files and/or copping a grilling from the boss. Let's face it, who could really criticise me for not driving fast enough or for parking in a designated parking spot. Unfortunately, there is a very real chance that the offenders would've well and truly left by the time I'm able to get back to my car and fight my way through traffic to make my way to help you! Ultimately, it won't be me that suffers. Comment 175 of 183

Tango Whiskey Posted at 4:06 PM Today cb of Melbourne. Did you ever think that he may be investigating something... a theft? An assault? I assume next time you'd be happier if he drove around to find a park when your mother gets assaulted. You're a whinger unless it benefits you. Comment 176 of 183

Sick of petty cop bashing of Melbourne Posted at 4:33 PM Today Ill start with undervalued teachers post. I think you need to spell check your post and check up on the law. I think you'll find that what you "thaught" the law says is wrong. I really hope youre not actually a teacher. The poor kids. Gee you all know alot dont you, at least you think you do. At the moment Victoria Police are enforcing work bans which includes not filling in vehicle log books or running sheets. As for vehicle condition reports? What? Yes, there is one rule for police and LOTS of rules for everyone else. 305. Exemption for drivers of police vehicles (1) A provision of the Road Rules does not apply to the driver of a police vehicle if: (a) in the circumstances: (i) the driver is taking reasonable care; and (ii) it is reasonable that the provision should not apply; and (b) if the vehicle is a motor vehicle that is moving the vehicle is displaying a blue or red flashing light or sounding an alarm. (2) Subrule (1)(b) does not apply to the driver if, in the circumstances, it is reasonable (a) not to display the light or sound the alarm; or (b) for the vehicle not to be fitted or equipped with a blue or red flashing light or an alarm. Get your facts straight! Comment 177 of 183

HM of Melbourne Posted at 4:40 PM Today If the driver cant be identified then the same laws that apply to every other business should apply, registration cancelled and a massive company fine. Lets apply the law equally.

Yes speed does kill and speeding fines are exorbitant, so never ever take your eyes off your speedo. Comment 180 of 183

Keryn W of Hamilton Posted at 4:49 PM Today The Justice Department is a JOKE!! Tells us commoners that cruise control cant be used as evidence that you werent speeding, and forces us to nominate who the driver was......unless youre a police officer of course! Speeding drivers deserved to be fined, but the paltry speeds were being forced to drive at are pathetic. All highways should be 110kmh, and as for towns - BRING BACK 60kmh!!!!! Comment 181 of 183

Know the law before you speak Posted at 4:59 PM Today Yes, Police are exempt from the Road Rules. It would be nice if people did move out of the way when the flashing lights and siren are going. But most of you out there are poor drivers who do not understand the reasons for moving out of the way. They also use their siren when crashing red lights. Most people stop but many people are just oblivious and go about there business. Comment 182 of 183

Chris W of Caulfield Posted at 5:02 PM Today refused to admit!! wow... If youd care to check, the County Court and Supreme Court are full of people who "refuse to admit" offences, (murder/amred robbery etc). It is not the job of the accused person to "admit" anything. The onus is on the prosecution. If they cant prove it, whose fault is that????
