One of the country's top police officers has been cleared of wrongdoing for refusing to take a breath test after he was reported driving home erratically from a police bar.

Police say the man was "entitled" to refuse to comply with officers who knocked on his door.

Superintendent Graham Thomas, the head of police prosecutions at Police National Headquarters, has been cleared by a police investigation and is now on six months' paid "medical rehabilitation".

Criminal lawyers say everyone has a right to act within their legal rights. But many members of the public are convicted after being breathalysed in their homes, either because they believed they had to follow police demands or because they felt they should front up to their wrongdoing.

They should throw the book at him, not put him into AA. I've been asked to have a breath test when I was at home. Like most people, I didn't know about the right to refuse.

This incident is likely to a whole can of worms.

This is a polcie state when you have a country the population the eize of a city or less, we need peacekeepers(not u.n. etc) not police officers.

I also put up a vid about an aborigine actvist who sez 'use their law against them' if they try to impose beyond reason and what reason treats abbos like scum anyway etc etc etc

Ha ha, it always cracks me up how the piggy boys are quite happy to go round busting everyone else for drink driving, but they never like it when it happens to them! Fuckin' hypocrites!
