or he's probably copped a warning from his bosses for handing out the wrong fines.

[Konrad]

nah this was ages ago, like early last year.

[Mr-Toy33]

i dont think superior's like seein or knowin that they've lost a case due to handin out stupid fines.

it does cost the cops to run things through the courts, etc which in turn eats into the qld police budget.

might be a few hundred $$'s but thats a few hundred $$'s they couldnt spend on those bullets they need to protect commonwealth people when visiting.

Somewhat true, but the poilce take everything to court, regardless of cost. A few hundred dollars is nothing! In this case the officers superiors would probably have said "bad luck, be a bit more careful next time and give him undue noise" and left it at that, i've had many dealings with police and police prosecutors including a family member who was an inspector. The police rarely get in trouble for incorrectly handing out traffic fines. It takes something much worse for an officer to be diciplined. Anyone can take their fine to court and get off, but thinking you're having an effect on the police is diluted, it takes serious misconduct to have an officer diciplined. At the end of the day they don't like losing cases, but it just teaches them to be more careful and tactful in handing out fines. Things such as the anti-hoon legislation keep coming in to aid the police in this war against "hoons", you can get off your fine but you can't stop their cause, it's backed by consensus public policy and that's all that matters.

Mr-Toy33 i'm going to put you up the top of my hero list just above superman!!!

It about time someone stood up to the cops i think that the average joe would have no idear about the law and would pay the fine/take the defect but it good to see a cop get his own handed to him... my mate got targeted by a cop took it to court and won... had something like 8 fines lost his licence got it back and lost 4 points again then decided to take it to court told them that every fine was from this same cop.

Would be good to see this law changed... Tell me where to sign!!!
