Skids are put under fat traffic cops

Baack · Aug 31, 2008

FAT police officers face being banned from traffic duty unless they slim down because they are risking taking their squad cars over the maximum legal weight limit.
Tests have found that some patrol cars are so heavy that burly officers could tip them over the legal threshold. Some cars, with two officers present, are within 14 stone of the maximum, meaning that they can carry, at most, only one additional passenger.
A patrol car containing obese officers, which stopped a vehicle with two suspected criminals, would have to radio for assistance.
