One would think so... maybe he is fuckin the cops wife or something but even so...?

They want to be careful handing out those tickets if that is the new way to get revenue now everyone is too shit scared to get within 10kph of a posted limit.

A cops life would be worth a lot less than 10k to a large percentage of tradeys....just sayin.

A cop can't issue a 10k ticket, someone is telling you porkies or omitting some very important parts of the story.

What is the limit a cop can issue?

I'm not sure but the amounts are set, we can't just make it up. I've never seen one over $600 that I can remember excluding some of the HGV fines, I'll have a look at work tomorrow if I remember, I'll ask the CVIU guy.

Fines for heavy trade and DGs are in the tens of thousands, aren't they?

I never said you could make up a fine

I said the fine is 10,000 because the fine is 10,000.
It's up to 20,000 for not giving way to a train for example.

A quick google shows many many many tickets cops could issue over 10k, overweights on axels of trucks could well pass that.

20,000 for failing to give way to a rail vehicle on a level crossing...you cant ticket someone for that?

People put prices on peoples lives all the time, if your really lucky and the company you worked when you were killed on the job can afford it your life might be worth 100,000 dollars.
If your unlucky and are kicked to death outside the pub by a group of teenagers then your life is only worth the 20 dollars in your wallet for the taxi that they took.
Not every one lives in a good neighbourhood has a firearms licence etc etc, there are bad people in the world.

The email went out accross a nationwide company.

Google it... that is what the fine is..only takes some one to write the ticket

Whats your point then?
Your post suggests that the police need to be careful handing out tickets, and that a cops life is worth less than 10K to most tradies? With the alleged fine being 10K, are you insinuating that most of us (tradies) would consider knocking off a cop rather than take the fine?
The rest of your post has nothing to do with it. Shit happens.
