The person responsible for running over the police officer has recieved a $500 fine. So whats the moral of this story, if you get stopped for drink driving, run over the police officer, wait for the police to catch up with you (if they do) and go to court and recieve your fine. Well its better than stopping for the police and getting a thousand dollar fine and 12 month disqualification if you are drink driving, Oh and if you are committing other crime e.g driving around with drugs or firearms in your car, yeah just run the police officer down and risk a $500 fine. You know this could only happen in Bermuda, they would of been shot dead by countries with armed police and at least given a custodial sentence in normal countries. I can only conclude yet again that the magistrate is on drugs or the defendant is his uncle.

The Magistrate needs a good lickin...... First of all, I think the Police figured he get a harsher sentence charging him with assault. That did'nt happen as Mr. Timbucktoo often does. It could be likely that was his first offence (the RG report does not state anything else. The maximum under Summary jurisdiction is $1000 and a year in prison etc. Then again, thats the way Timbucktoo does things. In my view, not a well thought out prima face case by the department of 'book em dann'os' but thats 2008, ann dunt bee layte...............or you'll bee shown dee gate...ann eye dunt meen 'west' either.........................

I'm appalled. Assaulting police is only worth $500, nothing to most in Bermuda. They should be able to expect a far higher degree of protection when daily putting themselves in danger for the rest of us. First offence or not, the dude ran over a police officer.

You know what? I'm gonna let it loose. I haven't for a while but here's a little touch of the ole Blackrum. The Officers they have now are useless and inexperienced and/or getting tooo old to give a damn. Most of the guys Sergeant and above are out of date. The ones that should have been promoted have not and the ones that were were done years ago.

You show show me a Sergeant walking around Hamilton, Somerset Villiage, St. George and I'll give you a hundred bucks. They have so much on their plate that they can even retain, obtain, and remain bodies.

We don't need the Col. Burch approach. We need the Jacksons and the Adams and that other guy (ass/Com) to do the work of their predicessors. The Deputy's job is what I just spoke about, thats their job the everyday running and funtion of the service. Too much deadwood up there and maybe a few 'cedar beams' too.

Rant over. It's all about supervision and not just showing up....................

I need a rum..........................

By comparison to the $500 fine, a tourist was fined $1600 for having weed of a Bermuda street value of $75. Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

Running over a cop: $500
1.63 grams of weed: $1600
Friendly magistrates: spineless.

Being annoying and irrational is a crime? Hmm, quick, send the cops to the parliament building.

Nice one... karma.

Does anyone film the NTUU Show? That'd be a Youtube winner for me.
