Georginia Tsoukas told cops to ‘get f---ed’, Sunshine Magistrates Court hears

A western suburbs mum caught driving on her phone told police to “get f---ed” and refused to pull over before telling officers “cops never helped me before”.

Sunshine’s Georginia Tsoukas was sentenced in the Magistrates’ Court after refusing to pull her car over when police spotted her on the phone while driving.

A mother of two caught red-handed driving on her phone told police to “get f---ed” and refused to pull over before they paid a visit to her home.

Georginia Tsoukas pleaded guilty in the Sunshine Magistrates’ Court to failing to stop for police after she was intercepted while driving in Sunshine last year.

Police prosecutors said about 3.50pm on March 7, Tsoukas was observed by police in a marked car holding a mobile phone at an intersection on Anderson Rd.

Georginia Tsoukas pleaded guilty in Sunshine Magistrates' Court on February 14, 2023.

The court heard the 47-year-old Sunshine woman was told to pull over before she swore at the officers and refused the direction.

“I’m not pulling over, you can go and get f---ed,” she told police, before proceeding to drive off.

Police pursued the vehicle and conducted checks which revealed Tsoukas to be the registered owner.

A short time later, police attended her Sunshine address to ask questions where she told them she did not want to stop her car “because there are criminals out there” and “cops never helped me before”.

She then surrendered her vehicle to police where it was impounded for 30 days and cost $650 to retrieve.

Tsoukas’ licence was disqualified and cancelled for the minimum six month period.

In court, her lawyer said the behaviour was “completely out of character” for the mother of two and noted she had suffered with mental health issues at the time.

Magistrate Michael McNamara heard she had been out of work for several years but used to work in the aged care industry and developed PTSD from watching people suffer and constantly dealing with death.

Her lawyer said Tsoukas hoped to return to the workforce now the court case was finalised.

Mr McNamara ordered her licence to be disqualified and cancelled for the minimum period of six months.

He placed her on a good behaviour bond for six months and ordered she pay $400 to the court fund.

No conviction was recorded.
