Oh dear....

@Yeetyaah said in Caleb Clarke:
Have to wonder why he evaded, speeding is one thing but evading seems strange for someone of his character.
Yep, that’s exactly what I thought. From interviews etc he’d be about the last guy I’d expect to do this.
Came across incredibly humble and well mannered and played the piano beautifully in the piece I saw on him.
Very surprising.
After all the furore of top Rugby players escaping convictions in the last few years it will be really interesting to see where they go from here. I feel for him as he does come across as pretty much the most likable AB of recent times I can think of.

@MN5 if Frizzell can get diversion for punching a woman in a bar and the threatening people to stay quiet in the cold light of the next day...Caleb will too

Yeah more than likely.
One would imagine his character is pretty squeaky clean

Poor form. I wonder if it's car or bike related - he is a big fan of motorbiking
It says in the article that he was on his motorbike in Auckland.

@handa457 not necessarily, moment of stupidity and failing to stop when signalled to. Doesn't give details about when cops caught up...10 minutes later or next day.
Think he could still qualify for diversion either way.

probably thought beating police defenders would increase his Fantasy stats... oh wait

Will probably attract less blowback than diversion for an aggravated offence.....

@handa457 He doesn't drink does he? I recall him always being sober when out and about but I could be wrong. I think it is more like he was speeding, and simply panicked not wanting to get caught and the repercussions of it. Clearly evading and getting charged is worse but we all have lapses of judgement at times. I said "I do" nearly 30 years ago and I am still paying for that

@taniwharugby Not sure how it is in NZ but in Australia there are non conviction options or good behaviour non conviction basically meaning it does not impact your criminal record like a conviction sentence would.
Yeah says as much in article "Defence lawyer Rowan Butler entered the pleas on his behalf before community magistrate Kaye Davies. He asked that a plea not be immediately entered so he can request a discharge without conviction on behalf of his client."
Come to think of it I have had a few discharges without conviction in my time

One man's "evading police" is another man's "looking for an available safe space to pull over as quickly as possible"
