USA: A broken system works in
The state is airing another ad against drunken driving this month warning, "Drive Hammered, Get Nailed."
But there's an exception out on the streets for some police officers.
Cops confronted with a drunken-driving arrest fare better than the average citizen, according to a Seattle P-I investigation of seven years' worth of internal discipline records, arrest reports, accident reports, license-suspension files and court documents statewide.
The P-I selected 63 cases from 92 to examine closely, focusing on active duty officers who consumed alcohol before driving ... Read more

Andhra Pradesh police official
A special court trying anti-corruption cases Sunday remanded a senior police official in judicial custody for 14 days on charges of amassing wealth by abusing his official position.
J.G. Murali, superintendent of Visakhapatnam rural district, was sent to Cherlapally Central Jail near here on an order of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) court.
Murali, who belongs to the 1995 batch of the Indian Police Service (IPS), was arrested Saturday night by ACB officials. He was brought here Sunday for questioning and produced in the ACB court.
This is the first time in Andhra Pradesh that an IPS officer has been arrested on charges of misuse of office and acquiring assets beyond known sources of his income.
Srikrishnudu, an official of the ACB, told newsmen that Murali was charged on four counts - accepting bribes in posting of sub-inspectors, nexus with land grabbers, shielding criminals and acquiring assets worth Rs.6.4 million.
Murali, however, told newsmen that all the four counts were false. He denied irregularities in postings of sub-inspectors and clarified that he had not illegally helped any businessman or realtor. The official said the assets owned by his wife and son had been shown as his assets.
The ACB officials had Saturday raided Murali's office in Visakhapatnam, his house in Hyderabad and other places. They claimed that they had unearthed Rs.147,000 in addition to properties and plots in and around Hyderabad, investments in real estate business in Bangalore and in the granite industry, a car, gold ornaments and household articles.
The ACB had swung into action following complaints that the official was misusing his official position and collecting bribes. The government is likely to suspend him from service.
Searches were also conducted in Khammam, Dhone in Kurnool district, Kamareddy in Nizamabad district, Guntur and Bangalore.
Officials searched the houses of some people believed to have been favoured by the police official and seized documents pertaining to real estate business. They also arrested some people and seized two country made pistols with 150 live rounds of ammunition.
