Kyle Sandilands has caused an uproar after his uncle organised a free police escort to protect the $300,000 Maserati he hired to drive to an X-Factor shoot in Queensland. The move has upset many including Opposition police spokesman Vaughan Johnson, who said the escort "beggared belief", the Daily Telegraph reports.
Sandilands was in Noosa with finalist Andrew Lawson last week when he was given the escort from Noosa-Cooroy Rd to a surf club about 16km away.
The couple were on their way to a free two-hour concert for 2000 fans — with six officers understood to be part of the escort.
"He gets special treatment while decent people have to beg for assistance (from police)," Opposition police spokesman Vaughan Johnson was quoted as saying.
"Megastars, celebrities — these people should provide their own personal protection and personal security."
Lawson said he and Sandilands had to "pull over" at one point so the police could catch up to them.
On the way to a Pay as You Go Police force, like in the good ol' U S of A.
Not long to go now before it gets privatised.
