Exactly. POD may re-post it again but it is his decision at the end of the day. He said he was a bit ****ed off & tired at the end of a what sounded like a hard day.Quote:

As mentioned to 4bee by PM, I usually keep to a policy of not discussing work on the internet, it's just not a good habit to get into in any occupation that is in the public eye and perhaps especially a health profession. I entered the discussion against my better judgement whilst sleep deprived but thought better of it an hour or so later, hence the delete. Just starting 8 weeks of long service leave, so sleep deprivation will not be an issue for a while :)Quote:

'Selfish' woman from border checkpoint video arrested, window smashed
By Rachael Dexter
A woman who last week posted a video refusing to answer questions posed by a police officer at a Melbourne checkpoint has been arrested in dramatic fashion today.
According to Victoria Police, members from the Dandenong Frontline Tactical Unit arrested the 28-year-old Warrandyte woman following a vehicle intercept on Princes Street in Carlton about 1:55pm
"The woman was intercepted on Princes St as police wanted to speak to her following an incident at a vehicle checkpoint in Bunyip on 23 July," a police spokesman said.

'Incredibly selfish person' facing police visit over checkpoint video
Add to shortlist
The woman was asked for her name and address, her licence and an explanation for why she was travelling – all of which she refused to give, and was arrested.
"During the arrest, police were forced to break the woman’s car window as she refused to speak to them, wind down her window, or step out of the vehicle," the spokesman said.
"The woman has been released pending summons for traffic-related offences, failing to produce a licence, failing to produce name and address, and breaches of the Chief Health Officer’s directives."
Interestingly she has not been charged with her previous actions but that obviously prompted to cops to track her and bust her during her most recent drive. There must be flaw in the rules that stopped the cops from charging her over the her original interaction with the cops that was filmed.

Our species is doomed......
She'll remember this intrusion into her daily selfish, stupid life if only for the fact she had to pick herself up from the bottom of the stairs that she accidentally fell down at the Cop Shop.
Oh yes, plus the window that the cops put through. I hope it costs her a Motza.:bat::rulez:
