SERT? These blokes are "high-risk-takers" by the nature of their work.
If that defence is good enough for boof-head football players, it must
certainly good enough for the boys of the SERT.

I reckon the going naked bit isn't an issue - that doesn't hurt anyone,
but using the cop car for private purposes is a worry.
But the whole thing is really only a 'bit of a blast from the boss' type
of offence
Those guys are the ones we depend on when things get really rough, and
they have had a fortune spent on their training - give em a bit of a
chewing out and let em get on with their work
