Last night there was a high speed police chase along a major commuter artery during peak hour. The police shut down portions of Parramatta Road during the 16 km pursuit, completely stuffing up traffic. Approximately 20 police cruisers were involved in the offensive. The suspects were apprehended after smashing their stolen SUV into a smaller car.
According to the evening television news, the driver has been charged with "using a motor vehicle to avoid apprehension." The two passengers of the car have been charged for "being carried in conveyance without the consent of the owner." Isn't that so much more charming than saying "riding in a stolen vehicle"?
According to the morning radio news, the NSW Police Department has issued a formal apology to the citizens of Sydney for having caused any inconvenience during the evening commute. It made me feel warm and fuzzy.
Can you just imagine the LAPD having that press conference?

Nope, can't imagine it. Around here they seem to gain self esteem in proportion to the amount of time they can keep the roads closed.
Wow, I'm just as surprised as you. Never ever heard of a police dept - anywhere - actually apologising for inconveniencing the innocent bystanders! hehe
