Oh, bravo to the American police force!! But let me give you just one example of how things are structured in this circus of a country; this is slightly off-topic, but who cares. The current Attorney General, Mr. Rončević, is just like the Secretary at the Department of Defense four years ago when he bought military trucks for $40 million instead of $19 million... and now this same "capable" and "accountable" politician has taken over yet another highly sensitive department... the Department of Justice, where these kinds of cardinal atrocities take place. If the leadership is this bad, the department is bound to follow suit. We really ought to ask how it’s even possible for traffic cops to let some drunk pig get back behind the wheel and drive away after being pulled over. Did that drunken idiot tell the officers the same thing he told them back in Glina when he trashed that entire bar with his exemplary son: "Do you have any idea who you're talking to?" Honestly, it feels like they told him exactly that—that he can sit in his car and drive off right in front of the police if he wants. So, I’d like to pose a question to our exemplary Minister: what on earth is happening in your department? What kind of officers are actually handling traffic control? Because if I’m sober and sitting in my car, what guarantees does this same police force provide me that I won't be killed by some guy like Žužić? Clearly, none.
Now, there is one thing I want to know. Why doesn't the police force here, unlike in the US, have dash cams in their cruisers to record the entire interaction between an officer and a driver? Is it because it's too expensive?? Of course it's expensive, but apparently, we can afford to buy military trucks for double the price? This is America, after all; of course we can!! What a stupid question. It’s just that whenever money needs to be allocated to save the lives of ordinary citizens in this country, suddenly the funds aren't there.
Why aren't potential killers like this automatically hauled before a judge for misdemeanor charges? Why isn't the fine scaled to the offender's income (like in Scandinavia, for instance)? Why are these offenders even given the chance to file appeals, and why do these cases then drag through the courts for a year or two? My god, you could kill someone or cripple them; there should be no appeals, no stalling. The fine should be collected within 15 days, and if you don't have the cash, we'll come to your house and take the table, the washing machine, the couch... whatever it takes. That’s how it works in the US, the country we love to spit on so much. And this isn't just about Žužić... I personally know a case involving a friend of my girlfriend. She was caught driving drunk... thanks to a lawyer and a mountain of appeals, she managed to stall the case until the statute of limitations ran out... and even today, she still drives drunk after a night out. So much for our prevention system and our justice system.
As for the elder Žužić, the main thing is that after the verdict, he told his son that they weren't judging the son of tycoon Žužić, but rather Hrvoj Žužić! Well, obviously the kid isn't entirely responsible; exemplary parents raised him to believe that the rules for him are different from everyone else, because they don't even believe they are equal under the law—they think a different set of rules applies to them. And it makes sense they feel that way, since their friend is our main joker... a man who loves to talk nonsense and doesn't care about the company he keeps. So, dear forum members, when you get in your car, pray ten Hail Marys and hang a crucifix on your rearview mirror—not because you're devout Catholics, but because you're driving on roads patrolled by the American police and the entire system following them, all of which we pay for with our own hard-earned money.
