What will the potential effect of your friend’s behaviour on you, your friend?
You are working in a uniform traffic services position in a small police agency and attend an accident involving a close friend who has obviously gone through a stop sign and hit another car. Your friend is impaired. You whisper to him to pretend to be injured and then call for an ambulance to take him to the hospital. Next, you lay a charge of failing to stop at a stop sign, and no mention is made of the impairment.
This incident raises a number of questions about the use or abuse of your authority.
