I'm disgusted. Anyone else would have been thrown in prison.

Discharge for 159mph speeding Pc

A policeman who drove at 159mph on a motorway has been found guilty of dangerous driving and given an absolute discharge.
Cameras on board Pc Mark Milton's unmarked car clocked him driving at high speeds on the M54 in Shropshire.

He was originally cleared of the same charge but the High Court overturned his acquittal and ordered a retrial.

But despite his "eye watering" speeds the judge at Ludlow Magistrates' Court gave Pc Milton an absolute discharge.

District Judge Peter Wallis said the 38-year-old West Mercia Police officer had "suffered enough" with two-and-a-half years of court proceedings.

The West Mercia Police Federation said it was "disappointed" with the guilty verdict and would lodge an appeal.

Did he hurt anyone?

No.

Big far king deal.

I could go that fast if I had a faster car.

Just shows what a load of old shit this speed limit stuff is.

It's exactly the same as the way the word 'cvnt' has fallen from a normal word into one where I'm not even allowed to type it correctly.

Like witchcraft, it's all medieval nonsense.

This stinks imo. I'm fed up with the Police getting away with this kind of thing. Why should anyone obey the traffic laws, if the police don't even punish their own for breaking them.

Had it been me, I'd been in prison.

A 1/4 OF A MILE!!! Think about the danger he was putting other road-users in.

Apparently he was driving over 60 in a 30 zone also!!
