How does Karma work again?

"Livonia's deputy police chief drank alcohol before he smashed his police vehicle on Thanksgiving night, investigators have concluded."

"James Howton will be issued a traffic violation for careless driving and will be disciplined internally, Police Chief Robert Stevenson said."

I wonder how severe the 'internal discipline' will be for the deputy police chief.

"Our investigation did indicate Deputy Chief Howton had consumed alcohol prior to the accident," Stevenson stated. "However, that didn't prove he was intoxicated at the time of the accident."

Really?!? Can I expect the same assumption the next time some cop has got nothing better to do than to pull me over? It has been my experience that once anyone admits to consuming alcohol, the whole dynamic changes into 'Drunk, until proven sober'.

"According to Stevenson, the fender, hood and bumper were moderately damaged when Howton hit a stop sign and a tree on Wayne Road north of 6 Mile about 10 p.m. on Nov. 25."

Must be nice to have friends in high places. I avoided two cars and didn't scratch a thing. All I got was a one way ticket to jail.
