Corrupt SAPOL Prosecutors Mysteriously Drop Drug Charges Against Top Cop’s Son

SAPOL has once again displayed it’s hypocrisy and double standards by dropping all charges against Simon Schramm, 51, whose father Paul Schramm is a retired cop and Police Credit Union board member.

Schramm, the Einstein in the photo above giving you a double serving of the “up yours” gesture, was arrested after a raid at his southern suburbs home last year.

On Wednesday, October 11, officers from Southern District CIB and STAR Group carried out a search warrant at Schramm’s Seaford Meadows home in relation to alleged drug dealing.

The court heard in October last year that when cops entered his bedroom, Schramm was busy flushing drugs down the toilet.

“When police entered the master bedroom, they heard the ensuite toilet flush with the accused standing over the toilet,” the court was told

Police were unable to retrieve the flushed drugs but on further inspection of the house allegedly found a trafficable quantity of fantasy, methamphetamine and some cannabis.

The court also heard a number of prescription drugs were found in the house, including steroids as well as “tick lists” and a number of mobile phones.

Schramm was charged with three counts of trafficking in a controlled drug, two counts of possessing prescription drug and using or possessing a prohibited weapon.

Schramm’s partner Rachel Evans, 29, and roommate Joel Dycer, 34, were also charged with trafficking a controlled drug and other offences.

This was not Schramm’s first such offence – Schramm was serving a three year good behaviour bond after he pleaded guilty for other drug trafficking matters in Adelaide District Court back in March 2022.

For that offence he received a one year and nine month imprisonment, suspended.

Despite his past history, on Thursday, August 15 police prosecutors told the Adelaide Magistrates Court all charges against Schramm have been dropped.

“We are not proceeding on all charges,” prosecutors said.

After his arrest in October last year, the court heard Schramm’s father Paul Schramm – a now-retired chief superintendent at SAPOL and detective of the taskforce that investigated the Snowtown murders – was willing to go guarantor for his son and have him bailed to his home.

No reason was given for the sudden disappearance of the charges, but a previous Advertiser article suggests Schramm had successfully shifted the blame to his terribly foolish girlfriend.

Hugh Woods, counsel for Schramm, submitted to the court she had “taken responsibility of the drugs” in her recorded interview with police.

Deputy Commissioner’s Grandson Also Gets Away Scot-Free

Another winner who committed serious offences and escaped without any punishment is the grandson of SAPOL deputy commissioner Linda Williams, who went on a destructive rampage on Tuesday, May 9 last year.

He crashed into several cars in a Tranmere street, then jostled with a relative and yelled, screamed and swore for 90 minutes in the street at attending officers who were reluctant to arrest the deputy commissioner’s grandson. He was finally arrested after taking a swing at officers.

Despite the serious nature of his behaviour, and the damage caused to innocent people’s vehicles, Williams’ grandson was let off scot-free by the corrupt SAPOL with an “adult caution” for what they generously described as a “mental health incident”.

Former Commissioner’s Son Aggressively Gropes Woman at Function, Keeps His Job and Becomes Head of Police Union

Wade Burns is the son of former SAPOL commissioner Gary Burns, who retired in 2015.

At a 2017 work-related function, Burns – married and the father of two boys – indecently assaulted a female colleague. No criminal charges were filed due to the reluctance of the victim, but Burns was found guilty of the assault at an internal SAPOL hearing.

He was not fired. Instead, he was demoted two ranks, then allowed to regain one of those ranks at a subsequent appeal.

SAPOL and Burns kept the matter secret for seven years, even failing to divulge the matter during the recent police union elections in which Burns was a candidate. It was not until halfway through the election that independent MP Frank Pangallo exposed the sordid affair under parliamentary privilege.

Burns narrowly won the election, and now heads the South Australian police union despite being guilty of indecent assault. His public comments on the matter show he is clearly unrepentant, and that the only thing he regrets is that the matter was no longer able to be hidden by himself and his corrupt employer.

South Australia Police is a corrupt sewerage pit, where innocent people are harassed, stalked, framed and vexatiously prosecuted by some of the very worst characters Australian society has to offer.

But if your daddy or nanna is a high-ranking cop, you can sexually assault your colleagues, smash innocent people’s cars, deal drugs and possess prohibited weapons and completely get away with it.
