News Curtis Scott

Didn't take long for him to develop the Canberra culture

 

[SBD82]

"Police will not be required to record their entire shift or every interaction that occurs whilst on duty"

Its pretty easy to imagine incidents that evolve quickly from not serious to serious and the officers involved not having time to stop and turn on their body cam while someone is trying to get away or attack them.

A hundred percent.

I probably seem more invested in this than I actually am. My only real point is that police are fallible, sometimes dangerously so. But it doesn’t appear that there is anything in Scott’s situation that suggests they’ve done anything wrong.

Two counts, that's 10 years. Throw missile at motor vehicle, another 5 years.

Does the NFSD policy work cumulatively?

Yeah I don't disagree with any of that, I've seen and heard of plenty of instances of police officers not behaving correctly or even legally.

 

[Canard]

Look on the bright side, this is good news for the Les Catalans and the game internationally....

 

[nick87]

The amount of years he could get is relevant to the stand down rule from the NRL. If his max sentence hits the mark he is getting down indefinitely

Ah right, my apologies then
I didnt realise the context of that was in relation to the NFSD policy.

It doesn't work at all

How many weeks?

What should the fine be?

 

[The Mad Hatter]

One really must view this latest incident through the "Bec Wilson Filter" to truly understand how heinous an act Curtis has perpetrated against the code, his eployer and humanity.

Only then, we can calculate what cost there has been to "the game" and "the sponsors", and what the expectant punishment from Scott's employer and the NRL should entail. It should also provide a rating for a sound, balanced, level of moral outrage and applicable torque of necessary hand-wringing.

 

[The Rosco]

The media dictates the outcome.
I call it the "6 O'clock news petrol price lubrication" theorem.
When it's briefly mentioned on the news that the per barrel oil price is showing a tendency of maybe creeping up . . . whooshka !! 37cpl more by tomorrow morning. Don't worry that the Saudi's haven't even filled the barrels yet, let alone shipped them !! The news lubricates us, and the oil companies give us a robust rogering.
It's a similar fate for Curtis. The more media exposure, the more disrepute, the stiffer the penalty.

I doubt it.

But allegedly punching a copper in the face should warrant a double eye-ballin'.

 

[_snafu_]

It’s not his go.

Tomorrow according to that article, I find it hard to believe personally.

Don't think so.

My understanding is you could have 15 counts of a crime with a max sentence of 10 years each in which case toddy gets to exercise his discretion and if he likes you then you will continue to play.

Oh whoops, my mistake lol

 

[Vee]

Got any stats on that?

Can't be shagged going back through your posts, purely an observation.

 

[Ron's_Mate]

I blame the Sydney fishbowl.

I blame the Sydney fishbowl.

If he'd have done it on a roof in Canberra he'd only have instagram to worry about!

 

[some11]

You dont honestly think he's going to be jailed do you?

Assaulting a police officer is a pretty serious offense wouldn't you say.

They look after their own even when they're in the wrong.

Depends on what happened and any injuries. I haven't seen anything suggesting he connected and caused damage (and the police union usually has them photos out in the media straight away if there was) so he might get lucky with a soft magistrate.
