The 'rule of law' dictates that everyone should be
treated equally under the law, regardless of who they are, who they
know and what position they hold.
A senior police officer learnt this the hard way when, some time
ago, he was issued with a penalty notice and placed under an
internal investigation for allegedly failing to quit two licensed
premises in Sydney.
It was reported that 38-year old NSW Police Force Chief
Inspector Shane Cribb started his day out at the VB Gold Port
Macquarie Cup, the mid north coast's premier annual horse
racing event.
He is reported to have cut a long queue of patrons waiting to
use the bathroom, before urinating in a hand basin.
He later left the event and was allegedly refused service at
Finnigan's Irish Pub, where he was in the presence of fellow
police officers.
