In a complete break from protocol it is believed policeman Michael Suidae removed his bad arse oakley sunglasses, unpuffed his chest and spoke to driver Ben Hampton in a normal, non-condescending way.
“He just came up to me and asked me how I was going and whether I knew that that the speed limit had changed in the built up area”
“I told him I thought i did and that everything looked safe so it was all good and he agreed”
“I couldn’t believe what i was hearing or seeing. It was almost like he realised that he wasn’t some Julius Ceaser type figure who was leading the Romans to battle.”
The officer in question could not be contacted by the Advocate but a police spokesman said the incident was being taken very seriously by his superiors and was in no way a reflection of the wider police community.
“As you can imagine there is a lot of confusion surrounding this incident – orders have been made from the very top of our organisation and there will be a formal response in the next day or so”
“In a police force as large and as old as ours, there is always room for complacency, or just general slip ups”
