A witness followed Norton and reported his vehicle to police, who tracked him down and arrested him.

He can use job stress as a defense. The agency will have to provide counselling and he could possibly retire on disability with full bennies. Smart guy!
More police abusing authority. A lot of cops and ff's drive drunk around here.they look out for each other when an accident happens.
ffs?
Yes. Ff's they help hide drunken cops and coos turn a back to drunken ff's. This is a good I'll boy system here. Don't dare deny it.
Absolute rubbish 4:35. DENIED!!!

There isn't supposed to be a special class of people who enjoy exemption from the law and its consequences.
At least not in a republic.
Think YOU or I would get that kind of treatment?
We may not even have survived the initial arrest. Unless you haven't seen how cops treat people who run....regular people, that is...
Keep cheering.
