So we all know the generic US police force motto, To Protect And To Serve. Actually the LAPD motto, but that’s the one we see in all the movies and it’s been adopted by other US police forces as well.
Did you know that since 1959 the New South Wales[1] Police Force motto has been Culpam Poena Premit Comes? And it means Punishment Swiftly Follows Crime?
[1] That’s the state in Australia where Sydney is. Just so you know.
That’s hardcore.
Leave Australia alone! LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!!!! *tears smearing mascara down face*
Classic.
Seriously though, NSW police were super corrupt in the early 90s. I had no idea until I researched this.
Well, to be fair, it is a dangerous job, whose number one priority is for the cop to make it home safely. At least that’s what they say here in the US. It’s almost as dangerous a job as fishing or working at a lumber mill. And by “almost”, I mean there are only 10 other more dangerous jobs than being a cop besides those 2.
So…hmm.
And, also to be fair, at least the NSW police aren’t lying with all this lofty “protect” and “serve” bullplop. And Latin is tricky, it doesn’t necessarily specify that the punishment is going to be for the criminal.
Mind you, the protect and serve motto doesn’t exactly specify either, does it? I mean I always assumed an unwritten “whitey” at the end…
Man this got cynical fast. Like, from comment 1 fast.
LOL
To paraphrase Trump paraphrasing the bible, “You knew I was a cynic when you let me in”.

Dude you know you want to waste more time pursuing scams. Speaking of which, I’m prepared to write you a check for $50,000 if you could just help me free up my inheritance first. I need $5,000 in expenses to do so. Hit me back.
Yeah, let me just get that $5000 for you, I have it in a trust but it needs $3.50 in collateral, send me that and we’ll talk.
