I saw a post on the @VictoriaPolice Twitter feed earlier today, and I'm surprised that there's now at least two incidences of this happening in Australia since the beginning of the year.
If you're interested, here is the earlier incident:
- Police Officer Charged with Drink-Driving
And now, today:
Friday, 18 November 2011 08:45
An off duty police member was allegedly detected drink driving in the west of the state last night.
The male member was spoken to at his home address by police after it is alleged he struck a railing around 8pm and left the scene before police arrived.
A positive PBT resulted in an evidentiary breath test being conducted, which returned an alleged reading of 0.111 per cent.
The senior constable, who is based in the Western region, was interviewed in relation to exceed prescribed concentration of alcohol, leaving the scene of an accident and careless driving. He is expected to receive a summons at a later date.
The matter will be investigated by the Ethical Standards Department.

Seriously, one instance is far too many. To any other officer who has ever drunk drove - caught or not. You are enforcers of the law, so maybe even like follow it - or find a new job?
