There was a lot of discretion used pre-Fitzgerald days in Queensland.Originally Posted by PeterM
I'm not sure how a thread about driving standards degenerates into a cop slagging match, but under the blue shirt they're no different to any other occupation. I know seven retired or serving guys/gal who have totally different personalities, life experiences and opinions on many things which must define largely how they perform their duties. Like the other occupations there are a number of ways to achieve a particular result, all can be different but right.
Coppering must be a damned hard job, everyone knows how it should be done, but not many can actually do it.
I've driven professionally for almost forty years, served twenty-five years in the SES and socialised with the aforementioned. For a non-copper/non-crim I've had quite a bit of interaction with law enforcement, which has proven to me that in blue you get the odd DH, a few outstanding people and a lot of decent hardworking people.
Hey, I just described any occupation or community.
