Good. Getting a conviction under the Emergency Workers Act is one of the few ways to virtually guarantee a spell in pokey. Hopefully the Police will get the same cover although seeing most of the legal authorities seem to think we should put up with a certain amount of verbal and physical abuse doing our jobs I'm not holding my breath.
I've seen someone walk away from court after being admonished for kicking an Inspector in the jaw during a gang fight recently.
