04/13/09 - Wacky News

“A young driver has demanded an apology from police after being arrested and handcuffed because an officer believed his steering wheel lock was a gun. Chad Hastings, 18, of Zillmere on Brisbane’s northside, was on his way to work early on Thursday morning when he was pulled over by police on Milton Rd in the innercity. While a female officer breath-tested Mr Hastings, another officer checked his Nissan Skyline with a torch. He was then ordered to get out of the car and sit on the footpath while the officer demanded to know why there was a gun in the vehicle.” w/ photo
