DISPROPORTIONATE PUNISHMENT FOR POLICE COMPARED TO CITIZENS

FOLKS I write tonight about an issue that just begs belief. It is about a general trend when punishing criminal police through the court system.

The news article attached to this update is about a police officer, who got caught out detailing his desires for child sex, while intoxicated with opioids, AND also had been found to have BREACHED THE PRIVACY OF A CITIZEN (note recurring themes here folks) by accessing the police database QPrime.

The Police Officer remained anonymous in Court documents - to PROTECT him. Then the Court orders just 3 years PROBATION!

FOLKS - this cop appears not to have been prosecuted for producing Child Exploitation Material - the recording of his pedo desires, was driving a POLICE VEHICLE while intoxicated thus endangering the public, AND snooping on members of the public! 

The Penalty just begs belief. Had this been a member of the public doing these things, they would have seen jail time for sure.

All too often, police are let of lightly, because of the prospect that they will get a hard time in jail.

WE SAY - if a cop is guilty of criminal behaviour, there should be mandatory sentencing involved. 

The Queensland Government has seen it as necessary to crack down on youth crime, including mandatory incarceration and revoking bail rights - WE SAY the same should apply to Police Officers, who have a DUTY to protect members of the public and ensure they observe YOUR human rights.

We are now edging on towards 32,000 signatures. Please help us to help you folks by sending a very clear and STRONG message to this Government and the Senior Administration of the Queensland Police Service that these types of situations are no longer going to be tolerated.
