BritPat Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Only for the rest of us. I don't think Magistrates decisions form Precedents. Someone will undoubtedly correct me if I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert_Baehr Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 The usual advice for the rest of us is: "It's not safe to drink ANY amount of alcohol and drive." The warning is: "Don't drink and drive!" not "Only drink in moderation when you drive." Why is it different for policemen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The warning is: "Don't drink and drive!" not "Only drink in moderation when you drive." Why is it different for policemen? Because the state is going to need all the help it can get from a reduced police force. The message must be going out: those few left, let's not antagonise them.
