But what does disciplined mean? fired , barred promotions docked pay? ,

Or a slap on the wrist and told don't do that again?.

Or shh be more discreet next time (probably the one)

Yet they wonder why respect for Police has dropped.

I'll wait for Hetzer as he will best put in to words what a lot of people think of the Police.

I know someone in the police, and he knows of an officer, who broke someones back by going too fast and not paying attention at a junction.

It was dangerous driving and the officer lost his job, but didnt get charged with dangerous driving as one of us would be.

Another tip-of-the-iceberg expose into the behaviour of those who are entrusted with incredible power and willfully abuse it on a daily basis.

Useless scum.

I know four policemen and they're all decent people, and generally use their power appropriately. Sometime they will go out of their jurisdiction, but only if there tends to be someone who looks like a scally (chavs, rude bois, pikeys, druggies)

One has also passed her first level of driver proficiency tests, this only allows her to drive a police car, but not use her lights/siren or attend to any emergency's at any haste. I believe she has to pass at least one more to be allowed to drive at haste, and much more to get involved with high speed pursuits. They don't just let you in a police car with a normal drivers licence.

Hi

There is no legal restriction on them driving police cars with / without extra training. It is just down to local force policy. When they want to save money they slacken the training policy, when the number of crashes get too high they tighten it up again.

All the best

i think the new health & safety / corporate manslaughter laws have made them think twice about letting anyone (who could have not been tested for 30 years) drive a police vehicle.

West Midlands and Nottinghamshire at least, at some point in your training or duties as a Special you might get to drive a panda car anyway with a full time officer and this could be all that is needed to let you drive one, but even that's not necessary, I am almost certain Specials at least cannot use lights or sirens for any reason whatsoever, the car is for transport only, but again this may be force specific.
