wow! i'd say that has been "confiscated" look at the froff, unless he is drinking real fast.

that's a very good pic

[AzuR]

the story behind the pic is they'd just pulled over some guy and yellow stickered him they went to drive off and they snapped this, interesting pic indeed haha, it's defently teds!

[Full Noise]

What’s their favourite beer?

What state was this in?

[Withnail]

How'd you find that out?

Would be very surprising that Mr. Plod would be having a beer on the job so blatantly. Would be a good story though.

If your story is true though, the photographer would want to take that straight to the media and/or Police Integrity Commision.

However I think the simple explanation is probably the right one, that it was confiscated and he was holding it so it wouldn't spill in the car.

If that was the case the would have tipped the beer out

[Kryton]

confiscated or not, the driver is still sitting behind the wheel with an open bottle.
if that were any of us, what do you think would happen.

Yep, it is illegal to have open containers of alcohol inside a vehicle.

Looks like QLD, but they dont use the white cars are HWP

[smacxr8]

Whatever the situation was, thats still a great pic

[SVTVNM]

Don't they look likle N.Z. patrol cars

[gthofan]

Interesting pic, strange that they wouldnt tip it out though.

btw, is that an FG cop car?

[SM1DY]

I remeber during schoolies, when alcohol was confiscated the police would pour it out on the spot and take the bottle with them when fining people. Maybe the PoPo were indulging in a couple cold ales while on the job?

[bodes-sh]

yes, it's an fg cop car. and i'd say it is in wa, the highway patrol cars here are white

[sneaky]

maybe he'd had a long/bad day and wanted a drink.

don't tell me all of you saints on here have never had a long neck on the way home...

I don’t follow St Kilda, but no. I have never done this.

[AzuR]

it was taken here in W.A, it defently looks like a beer, theres another thread on it over at perthfalcons.com.au, classic photo but! ;)

just read on the other forum someone rekons it could be a softdrink

"Hate to say it, but that Schweppes soft drink in the glass bottle. Not Tooheys Extra Dry. Tooheys doesnt have the red symbol on the logo on the top of the bottle. Schwepes does...Also Tooheys has a very skinny long neck. schwepes has a more fatter angled neck....

Look.

http://www.schweppes.com.au/discover/ Except his drinking one one with a green logo. you can also see the silver/brass coloured cap on top on the bottle. Both on the site and in the photo

Here is Tooheys.
http://www.tooheysextradry.com.au/

Sorry to burst the bubble. But its soft drink...."

he may be wrong though because in W.A our tooheys bottles look different from the ones on the webpage, conspiracy!

[VioletGT]

looks like an extra dry to me

[Full Noise]

Buggerd if I know, anyway, on with life. :baby bott

[rancidpunx]

A girl i used to know got serious with a cop from down in sydney a while back, after a night on the sauce he was letting everyone know that confiscating alcohol was a perk of the job. They used to see who could collect the biggest haul in a single shift, tip away the open one and then make off with the rest of the carton. Depending on how far he may have stretched the story out, but he never has to buy alcohol.

[mntxr]

extra dry you can see the horns

[DJM83]

That is gold, funniest thing ive seen in ages.

Sure i have but i don't go around booking other people for doing the same thing.

Once again it's a case of one law for them and another for us.

Give someone power and it's a case of when, not if they start abusing said power.

[Tim27]

I've seen cops on numerous occasions driving with one hand on the wheel and the other gripping a macca's cup. Speaking of macca's, i was in the carpark once and this commo was parked with it's drinks resting on the roof of their car. I did the right thing and beeped them to get their attention and pointed to the roof, trying to make them aware so they didn't spill it, and the bastards gave me the finger and sped off. I ended up going in their direction and sure enough they had pulled over with coke all down their nice paint work........karma

Let’s not turn this into a police bashing thread. We’ve all been guilty of eating and drinking (not alcohol) while driving. They are only human, like the rest of us.

Just because the officer has an open bottle of liquid, as shown in the photo, doesn’t imply anything, even though the courts see this differently.

We don’t want this thread closed, so lets keep the comments light-hearted and on topic.

Cheers

I think its the fun police! intended the pic n the thread to be light hearted fun, and so far no ones really taking it to far, just a bita fun, it may or may not be beer, but it's funny to look at alot of peeps on perthfalcon are thinking it's a lemonade bottle, i'm not sure, should send it to rove "wat the" section haha ;)

[Dave_au]

I doubt it but it could be viral marketing by Tooheys.

Remember the air force one tagging incident.

No? Please explain...

[crusher]

Deff looks like a Teds stubbie. Can make out the stag horns on the top of the bottle. Interesting.

But you would have to think they wouldn't be that stupid. Would they?
