One Law for some

[Saint in Paradise]

Here in NZ a cop has been let off for drunk driving because:-

 

A senior policeman who admitted driving while nearly one and a half times over the legal

alcohol limit was let off after a judge decided it was more important he stay

working.

 

Sergeant Jason Lamont, 39, was pulled over last August with a reading of 113mg of

alcohol per 100ml of blood.

 

The Auckland officer was charged with excess blood alcohol and pleaded

guilty in the North Shore District Court in April.

 

But Judge Phil Gittos discharged Mr Lamont without conviction, saying his role

and experience outweighed the importance of the conviction.

I won't have anything said against the Gore Police. Good guys.

 

But, back to your topic. Has the judge set a precedent..? Ambulance drivers..? Firetruck drivers..?. Naughty.
