[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 5849, member: 4034"] [b]Public money[/b] West Midlands Police (and all that needs to be said is that even the Met has more credibility......) used a police helicopter to chase down a young woman spotted committing the heinous offence of drinking from a bottle of water while stopped at traffic lights, thus presumably losing control of her vehicle by taking one hand off the wheel. Like you do when changing gear. Or applying the handbrake, which she had. Australia perhaps suffers from having been a British colony. If anything, it's worse: Oz police wear shorts, sandals, and knee-high socks. It's difficult not to laugh.....too difficult for me. Or maybe I'm missing some subtlety: maybe the plan is to make them look ludicrous as a counterweight to their misplaced self-importance? Discuss...... A bikie friend in Dampier (a long way from nowhere...) made me laugh when he told me police in spotter planes were known as "pigs in space". [/QUOTE]
