What a remarkable POS

Porsche driver Richard Pusey has been granted bail on “strict and rigorous” conditions after allegedly filming a dying policewoman struck in a horror crash on a Melbourne freeway.

The 42-year-old spent almost six months on remand on a string of charges including reckless conduct endangering life and outraging public decency.

Leading Senior Constable Lynette Taylor, Senior Constable Kevin King and constables Glen Humphris and Josh Prestney were killed in the crash in April, involving a truck driven by another man.

“I’m of the view very strict and rigorous bail conditions can mitigate the risks so they are not unacceptable,” magistrate Donna Bakos told the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday.

Reasons she cited for granting bail included the onerous conditions in prison and an “inordinate” delay of up to three years for the trial because of the coronavirus pandemic.

She said Mr Pusey also had stable accommodation at his home, family support and a “thorough” mental health treatment plan.

His lawyer Dermott Dann QC also argued any time spent on remand while waiting for a trial could exceed a possible sentence if found guilty of some of the serious charges.

“The charges are serious. That said, a period of up to three years before trial is extremely long,” Ms Bakos said in handing down her decision.

Police argued Mr Pusey should not be granted bail and told the court he was a risk to the public because of his driving and the fear he could intimidate witnesses.

“He’s a manipulative and controlling man. When he clashes with people, he resorts to all sorts of tactics,” Detective Senior Constable Aaron Price told the court earlier this week.

Even if bail conditions prohibited Mr Pusey from driving, Constable Price said he was concerned Mr Pusey would not abide by the condition because he “picks and chooses” what laws to follow.

“The accused does have a tendency to enjoy driving fast in … flashy cars,” he said.

The detective told the court Mr Pusey had previously intimidated, harassed and threatened others.

He allegedly threatened to kill someone over a disputed water bill but no charges were laid, the court was told.

However, the magistrate found it was speculation to suggest he could intimidate witnesses.

“I accept the informant has genuine concerns about the behaviour of the applicant, but the suggestion that the applicant will try to find out about witnesses is at the best speculative,” Ms Bakos said.

The businessman will be banned from driving and has to report to police three times a week, adhere to a curfew, undergo psychiatric treatment, surrender his passport and cannot contact witnesses.

He has also been barred from using electronic communications and social media to publish anything about or discuss the circumstances in the lead-up to the alleged offending with certain exceptions.

It comes after a ruling earlier this week that found Mr Pusey could face trial for the “rare” charge of outraging public decency.

His lawyers previously argued the charge did not exist in Australia, but Ms Bakos disagreed.

“Could a jury decide that the accused’s conduct was at the highest end of what is disgusting, repugnant, repulsive or offensive? In my view a jury could,” Ms Bakos wrote.

Mr Pusey was ordered to stand trial in relation to his alleged actions after the crash and he will face court next month.

well then, you actually do not know then that what they are accusing "mr porsche driver" of enjoying doing is precisely that which police officers regularly do and quite enjoy it.

cops drive like fucking lunatics whenever the fk they want to just cuz they got that blue light in the dash of their car.

an old relative of mine became a sheriff down south and he was up visiting us for christmas one year and i found his cocaine stash and i snorted it.. omg, he was pissed... him and his off duty copy buddy that was with him.. that dude just kept telling him to not beat my ass and to just let it go..

fk the police, they do dope... they drive like maniacs... so maybe dont be talking like they are mother teresas or whatever.

stupid cunt.

i have ridden in the back of omg way too many squad cars and those fkheads drive like it is either stopped or in overdrive.. every where they go..

even detectives, they all drive with lead feet on the accelerator.. and when they get pulled over, they have a badge which serves as a magic wand that gets them out of tickets,etc, it is called a badge.

the media is crucifying this guy and we dont even know the whole story.

Nothing like a good old-fashioned trial, our best method of finding the truth.
