Bad cop.


Fresh from Mr Smith's recent commentary on "Good cop. Bad cops" comes the latest example of a law breaking PC.

"A police officer who attacked an innocent motorist and sprayed him and his family with CS gas was ordered to carry out 150 hours of community service. Chester Smith was sentenced yesterday at Ayr Sheriff Court for what his victim believes was an act of road rage. Smith, who has since resigned from the force, sprayed gas into the car of businessman Bert Esquierdo, forcing the 53-year-old, his wife Elizabeth and son John, 10, out into the road."

Mr Smith think he needs to go on any anger management course, but it makes you wonder how many other members of the public have been on the receiving end of former PC Smith's special form of justice over the years. And he is still a retained firefighter ... for how much longer?
