A Police Officer walked free from court today after he was convicted with a dangerous driving charge. Yes; A dangerous driving charge.
PC Mark Milton was driving an unmarked car on the M54 in Shropshire when his onboard camera picked up speeds of 159mph.
So Why did he get away with it?
Firstly he got away with it without charges, however the High Court overturned this and a retrial took place.
The Judge at a magistrates court in Ludlow gave PC Milton an absolute discharge despite the fact he was doubling the speed limit.
PC Milton admits driving at 159mph and says he was "familiarising himself with the vehicle"

Exactly. The Judge said he was discharging him because he had been through enough, enough being 2 and a half years of court cases. Originally Posted by Nixt

To be fair though, he's going to have to live with the fact that he has killed soneone else.
