DID THE COPS REALLY HAVE THE TIME TO WATCH 4 CORNERS?

The case of  Judge Marcus Einfeld seems to have brought out the worst of the “tall poppy syndrome” in the community.
Sure the judge told some awful porkies to evade a few trivial speeding fines.  Sure he compiled an eight page booklet of lies about dead people being at the wheel of his car at the time of the offences, but no one was in any way hurt by all this except Einfeld himself.  In fact the behaviour of the judge was so dumb, that one must ask oneself why a man of such achievements and intelligence should do something so unbelievably stupid.  The obvious answer is that, like so many other public figures, he saw himself as being above the law.  In this he is certainly not alone.  Remember all the  “”DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?”, incidents involving politicians trying to stand over lesser beings? The case in a Central Coast restaurant and all the lies that were told by the local MP trying to wriggle out of a nasty insight into her character is one. And then there’s the Federal MP trying to pull rank in the same way over an air hostess trying to persuade her to turn off her mobile while in flight.
No one of those personages  finished up in court.  Yet Einfeld, despite his impressive record in the human rights field and many other good works was sentenced to two years in prison, stripped of his OA and his QC status, and various eager beavers even tried to strip him of his pension!
And now, in an unprecedented piece of sheer maliciousness, the police noticed that, in the ABC’s Four Corners interview on 21st March, Einfeld wasn’t wearing a seat belt while in the backseat of a car. Now they’re looking for another charge to hang on him!
No wonder there was only one copper at Mascot when the bikies were murdering  each other, the rest were watching Four Corners.
