Exclamation New Use for Speed Camera Vans in QLD !!!!

POLICE Union president Ian Leavers was officially reprimanded for failing to report a sex tryst in a police vehicle, a top-level inquiry has revealed.

The Crime and Misconduct Commission, which had been investigating police misuse of speed camera vehicles, confirmed Mr Leavers was one of several traffic branch officers disciplined over the sex scandal.

One officer resigned after the inquiry revealed he picked up a stripper and, on another occasion, had a booze-fuelled sex romp in a speed camera van with the knowledge of fellow officers.

A senior constable quit the force after admitting to using a speed camera van to pick up a stripper and, on another occasion, to pick up a girl and go on a boozy sex romp to the Sunshine Coast while on duty.

His female friend told investigators they loaded an esky full of beer and a bottle of rum into the vehicle and she and the police officer had sex on the way to the Coast.


As a result, traffic police are now routinely warned that marked and unmarked cars are subject to random tests designed to pick up bodily fluids.

The CMC confirmed Mr Leavers, a senior constable at Ipswich traffic branch at the time, was reprimanded because he was told of the incidents, but failed to report them.

Mr Leavers admitted he "had done the wrong thing over the sex and stripper scandal".

But he questioned the timing of the release of the findings, compiled by the then-Criminal Justice Commission. Despite occurring in 2001, they have never before been made public.

"At the time I accepted that I had done the wrong thing. I was reprimanded and I learnt a very valuable lesson," he said.

"I was reprimanded in relation to the incidents for having knowledge of it and failing to report the officer, who resigned at the time.

"Obviously, in my role as Police Union president, I have upset somebody who is now digging up dirt from a decade ago in an attempt to discredit me."

The Queensland Police Service is in a standoff with the CMC, while the union is negotiating with the Government over enterprise bargaining.

The QPS is about to go into negotiation with the Govt for a new Enterprise Bargaining Agreement. It'll cost the govt a fortune if the Police Union wins, so maybe they're discrediting the President? Anna can't afford much, at the moment!

After the title of this thread I was hoping to see a row of speed camera vans being used as the landing pad for a monster truck. Or under the treads of a tank.

Still, the brass are at least using the vans for something productive now.

Quite unsafe sex then. They were travelling unrestrained in the back of a wagon. Wonder if the driver lost points following the investigation? There was 2 people with no seatbelts.

At least he wasn't by himself. . . . . . .

How do you calibrate that gun?

I wonder how fast he was going?

I hope he was driving to suit the conditions . . .

I was gonna throw in a 'slippery when wet joke' but there might be kids reading this
