We all know the cops are above the law because they seem to have trouble following it for themselves.
Look at that story about jay walking on Today Tonight, the cop was booking people for jay walking across the road in the city, and across the road around the corner sits the Police station and at lunch time the cops cross the road in any fashion and not one of them got booked.
This problem is world wide but QLD has had a lot of publicity on dirty cops lately, it must be the warm weather.
