police presence

[soundbeltfarm]

went up to morrinsville to pick up an outboard so wasn't on bike and saw no police in the waikato but as soon as we got back into the naki region we got passed by an unmarked cop then passed a speed camera van on side of road then by the time i got back towards opunake i had seen 3 patrol cars all driving on the road.
does anyone know why there are so many cops in the naki.
seen nothing elsewhere.

Not all of them... still saw two on the Karapiro highway yesterday arvo, and another on the Waharoa straight in the morning. Wed afternoon there was some sort of cop hui going down at the bottom of the Kaimai (Waikato side).
Sondbeltfarm were just lucky...

i have noticed that too, sometimes you will never see any but the next day there every where you go, they must just hang around certian areas togther, fine them and then move on

I have read somewhere, that in some place that I cannot now recall, but maybe Victoria, this is exactly what they do. They call it Saturation Policing or some such name (can't remember exactly what).

The theory is that if the police are spread wide and thin, nobody is at any great risk of being caught. So people are willing to take the chance. If they concentrate on an area the risk becomes very high. People swing to a "too risky, won't do it mode". Then once the team leave for new pastures people don't realise they've gone , and the new mindset remains. Or something. It's all some psychological stuff that I probably once knew.

Got a memory like an elephant I have. (Did you know that elephants can get Alzheimers ?)
