NOT A 'FAIR COP' -

Native Constable James Betts was bringing in an Aboriginal prisoner when he decided he needed to have a sleep. In order to make sure his prisoner did not escape, Betts handcuffed the prisoner to him while he slept. Seeing his big chance to escape the prisoner picked up a rock, knocked Betts unconscious and the searched his pockets for the key and escaped into the bush.
