Another scumbag police officer on trial
Feb 11th, 2008 by Rebecca
It seems it just isn’t the week for scumbag police officers who think they can get off on abusing women.
Senior Constable David Mits, an officer based out of Knox in Melbourne, plead guilty to demanding a bribe in the County Court of Victoria this morning. He tried to demand sex from a woman he had pulled over for traffic offences in exchange for not arresting her. From the excerpts from the conversation in the article, it sounds like he’d tried to pull that sort of thing before, too. Unfortunately for Mits, this time, the woman recorded the conversation and went straight to the police herself, and I guess it’s a bit hard to try and deny something like this when you’ve been caught in the act on tape. He’s due to be sentenced in May - I hope he goes down for a while, but at least he’ll be out of the force for good.
Good on the motorist for having the quick thinking to get him on tape and the guts to take him down for it.
