He mocked highway patrol officers, called them “dogs” and boasted they had been unable to catch him in his previous car.

Thorman taunted about them being unlikely to apprehended him in his new car and said: “I’ll outrun you every time.”

He was cautioned an estimated 10 times about his language and offensive remarks to police.

When he tried to walk off, two police sergeants detained him, but he lashed out before being handcuffed.

He was put in a caged truck, taken to the police station and showed no contrition.

Police facts tendered in Albury Local Court yesterday suggested Thorman should be deemed a habitual traffic offender considering his record.

Thorman, 21, of Mate Street, North Albury, pleaded guilty to charges of doing a burnout, offensive language and resisting arrest.

His solicitor, Peter Simpson, described Thorman as immature, his conduct as disgraceful and said he brought on himself what had happened.

It was about 9.30pm on October 24 when police saw Thorman doing the burnout in his Commodore in a car park off Griffith Road.

There was a small crowd of people watching and acrid smelling smoke was coming from the wheels of his car.

The lights on a highway patrol car were activated along with an in-car video which recorded Thorman’s subsequent offensive behaviour.

He had a passenger in his car.

“Many people drive for 40 or 50 years with a better record than this,” magistrate Megan Greenwood said when looking at Thorman’s record.

“I am troubled by him telling police that he is going to keep on doing it.

“I think there is a real issue of personal deterrence with you.

“Your behaviour that night was disgraceful to police who were simply doing their job.

“It is time to have a good, hard look at yourself.”

Thorman was fined $3000, including $1500 for resisting arrest; and was banned from driving for 12 months.
