## Resource

A former cop, once a seven-year veteran of the force, is facing serious consequences after clocking 160 km/h in a marked police car during Summernats — with three fellow officers in tow. Prosecutors say he was showing off or acting entitled in uniform, while his defense blamed fatigue from a 12-hour shift. Though he’s now working at the US embassy and deeply remorseful, the magistrate made it clear: using official resources to break the law — especially with colleagues in the car who didn’t stop him — is a serious breach of public trust. No alcohol involved, no prior record, but the court won’t let this slide. Sentencing is pending, with jail or community service still on the table.
