Yes a total idiot, just as I thought.
Hasbeen summed it up nicely Paul 1404¼.

I think you all miss the point. If you chase, arrest and charge the individuals that have no financial substance then that is an on cost in the financial bottom line of any patrol.
However if you confine you interventions and arrests to the non violent drunks the revenue achieved pleases the patrol commander, the commissioner, the lawyers and the para legals even the infrastructure providers. Work cover giggles and general insurance has afield day voiding policy claims.
I'm sorry Individual but it is all about the financial bottom line.
We even have a Sergent who sits in his purpose built air conditioned dark windowed Merc van with his radar and camera on fixed stands capturing the unsuspecting while he watched TV on his own set in his own recliner.
Oh he does put the legally required warning sign out.....In front of the vehicle where you only see it after you have passed his vantage point.

Belly do you ever read a post, before you reply to it? From many of your posts, I have some doubts.

My son's mate was parked legally, on the side of the road, just before the on ramp that would put him on the expressway, on the correct side of the expressway, to go to the job he had the next day.

He was sleeping, with his phone set to wake him in 4 1/2 hours, when he would be well under the 0.05 limit. He & his vehicle were transported there by some sober young ladies from the party.

He was parked there as with the standing joke of his sense of direction, every one knew, if he slept at the party he would never be able to find the expressway the next day.

For trying to do everything right, he lost his licence. No wonder the cops & the magistrates are well loathed by many. They bring it on themselves with this type of stupidity.

Hasbeen yes indeed I read every word.
Do you understand what you post?
Are you aware being in charge of a motor car while under the influence remains drunken driving?
What kind of cop would have said ok old mate go back to sleep.
You told of the fellow driving the wrong way!
Gee bloke you must under stand the law is the law *for every one*!
Individual, this is not a cheap swipe at you.
Please, after so many insults you issue, on so many weird grounds, *NEVER INSULT OTHERS MENTALITY*
It is mate in your self defense not to.

That reminds of a chef in North Cairns quite a few years ago. The restaurant he worked in had it's last night of business & yes everyone had a few drinks. I happened to show up just a few minutes before this chef went to his car to get his valuables out as he didn't want to drive home. Instantly the two coppers for want of a more apt description bounced on him, breathalyzed him & took him straight to the Cairns watch house. They wouldn't even let him tell his boss that all the meals on the oven needed attention. Needless to say, many meals were spoiled & the Police in general went down several grades in peoples opinion. We only found out about half an hour later when his boss enquired with Cairns Police if they'd heard anything about the chap.
In a Cape York settlement it was the sergeant people went to see if they needed marijuana.
I suppose there would be at least there policemen in any group ten. The rest being coppers.

Belly,
Just because you don't understand something doesn't instantly make it an insult.
