A VICTORIA Police sergeant has been sacked for using his discretion to give speeding drivers smaller fines than the law required him to do.
The officer is believed to have booked about 500 people over two years around Avondale Heights, in Melbourne's west.
He reduced the penalty for drivers through means such as increasing a zone's speed limit on a ticket.
If a motorist was caught driving 80km/h in a 60km/h speed zone, the sergeant allegedly falsely increased the speed limit to 70km/h so the driver would be fined less and receive one instead of three demerit points off his licence...

NEW YORK — The mother of a 13-year-old boy with Asperger's syndrome who was missing in New York City for 11 days says her son spent the entire time in the subway system.
The boy's mother, Marisela Garcia, feels police were slow to make the case a priority because she's a Mexican immigrant.
But police say they contacted the school immediately and leafleted most of the city.
Garcia wants to know how her son went unnoticed for so long despite surveillance cameras and a police search. He has Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism.
Police found Francisco Hernandez Jr. on Oct. 26 in a Coney Island subway station.
He says he took refuge in the subway after getting in trouble at school and feared a scolding at home.

TWO daring young lovers have been caught having sex at the top of Sydney's historic clock tower.
Extraordinary pictures obtained by the Daily Telegraph show the couple apparently giving each other a number of very special hugs against the balcony underneath the giant clock across the road from Broadway Shopping Centre, near the University of Sydney, at 3.30pm on Friday.
The pair were in full view of the busy street below and almost seemed to be deliberately on display, soon attracting a crowd of onlookers.
The pictures were taken by a bystander from a bus stop across the road, where people were pointing and laughing at the twosome.
"A few other people had noticed as well and when I started taking photos everyone in the area started to look up and point, laugh, grin," the witness said.
