Police attitude

**snuffles** · 31st January 2006, 14:43

What is it with Mr Plod, driving down boulcott st in town yesterday and pulled up out side the church.

they were obviously burying a cop , judging by the amount of blue at the church and the mounted bike cops outside.

anyway, pull up to stop at lights, when I am accosted by some grumpy old shit of a bike cop, who says" turn those spots off , there too bright and not aligned"( there meant to be bright so dumb shits can see me)

fair enough, I think, but the shit he could at least of said good afternoon, or hello sir.

Wanted to remind him , who pays his wages, but thought better of it, just had this picture of me buried under a mass of blue uniforms on the side of the street.

all it takes is a little politeness, starting to loose patience with the fuzz, gonna get ugly soon.

Bugger mate. Proberbly not a good time to harress the cops. But remember, they are people too and on a bad day, maybe he doesn't want to be nice to you.

Roll with the punches, it's sometimes easier than making sure you take 'em on the chin. I just been to a funeral today and sure as f*ck don't want anyone pissing me off right now. Count it as bad day blues and move on.

If they were spot lights they can only be on when the headlights are on high beam - high beam on a suburban street is ilegal.Maybe you mean they were fog lamps - you do realise it is now ilegal to drive with fog lamps on unless your vision is severly impared...like with fog? He was within his rights to give you a ticket I'd say...lucky you just got a warning.

It looks like we have two people at fault here. Two wrongs obviously make a right.

Sir Pratt ,has a thread on you ,maybe you can reply to him???

Are you one of the moronic arseholes who ignorantly drive around with your foglights blazing, blinding every other road user because you're too dense to realise that it's not fucking foggy?

I'm with the cop on this one. It was just rude of you turning up with your lights dazzling those poor coppers

In all honesty, I'd not stand behind our Army's safezone, you'd be fried in two minutes flat by the enemy. The NZ Defence Force is a joke. Air Power no longer exists in NZ, we have but a glorified transpotation service. The Army are but lambs to the slaughter where there is no Air Support and our Navy, more a coastguard service than a Military force.
All the above designed to provide minimal expenditure while meeting bare minimal expectations of what could be considered an allie force by Australia. Much to the Australians dissaproval and dissapointment.

The Police force is another circus act of the NZ government. The way you carry on about attending to the publics needs, you're about 10 years behind, that shit stopped long ago. You're just a leech, sucking up money for Helen and her fiasco.

if you dont want them just tell the government to ignore all your 111 calls when your house is getting burning down, your having a heart attack or there is an intruder in your house whose got a knife from your kitchen and chasing you around..also...dont bother going to the hospital and if were ever invaded (however unlikely that is!!) well stick you out on the front outside the safe zone as you dont want to support the army that defends you...

Hey!

There is another thread in here tonight where a bloke was told by Police and ambulance workers that it is OK for motorcyclists to be run over by incompetent drivers. Then we get this other bloke who can't even respect a mate's funeral enough to leave a mate of mine alone who has, as he has already said, taken visibility issues into his own hands, because you can;t trust incompetent drivers.

You guys mean well, BUT, and I have no doubt that you won't like this, and I have no doubt I'll get staffing crisis stuffed down my throat, but I have been burgaled three times, and one of those times it was in progress when I called and I was threatened by the intruder. I got no help. None.

You wonder why you have a problem profile with the public, but the NZ Police signally and repeatedly fail to keep citizens safe, allow a black market in stolen goods to become a significant black economy, and take cheap shots at inappropriate times against a NZ citizen who has the common sense to make himself more visible in a world where the Police have already decided that we're going to get run over, maimed, or killed, and that it is our "choice" for riding a motorcycle.

You want us to work WITH you then show a little respect for our lives.
