Do you hold the same view on all the emergency services which include Ambulance & Fire who get discounts or just the Police?

I don't care what discounts other emergency services get. The police are supposed to be above reproach when it come to honesty and integrity. Taking discounts for food in exchange for security patrols of McDonald's or any other place like that is wrong.

As the police chief himself said a few years ago it "cheapens the standing of New Zealand police".

It's not as if the fire brigade are going to be expected to do anything in return for cheap burgers. They won't be doing security patrols around McDonald's late at night when they're all tucked up in bed, being paid to sleep.
