Its OK to kill a motorcyclist while talking on your phone - if you're a cop.

[HenryDorsetCase]

and in the UK

she had a good lawyer, huh?

[Zedder]

Not good at all. She lied initially as well.

In Bangkok though, a cop is worth a "funeral fee" of $97,000 if killed by an heir to the Red Bull fortune who had alcohol and cocaine in his system.

She wasn't a real policewoman. In the UK 'specials' are unpaid volunteers who dress up and perform specialised police duties (annoying people). This is a joke as you are only allowed to use hands free devices, i.e. those that don't use the hands. So if she had it in her lap and 'briefly' answered a call she must have manipulated the phone with her hands. She should be prosecuted just as a member of the public would have been if a copper had been killed.

[tigertim20]

sounds about right, the rules only apply to some!

Bit like saying a volunteer firefighter is not a real firefighter or a volunteer St johns paramedic is not a real paramedic.

Does the lack of being paid for the role or time volunteered make it any less real?

But the CPS that decided there was not enough evidence. They should have run with it and let the courts decide.

[KiWiP]

Nope, different roles, different people. I have 100% admiration for all volunteers but not for special police. I have met many and never been impressed by their motivations to fulfill their community role.

plus volunteer firefighters fight real fires, volunteer paramedics save real lives. volunteer policemen ? not sure what they do of any use that any civil minded citizen does.

Aww Fuck. NZ police have just fallen off the bottom rung of the ladder imo. Fucking dirty lowlife cock sucker. He should have been made example of. Cunts get off rape and assault charges routinely as well. That's the end of any slack I will cut them and the last vestiges of any respect or sympathy. Cowardly lying two faced cunts. Fuck all of you pigs that read this. You should be afuckingshamed to be part of such a corrupt moral culture. I'm damned sure I would be telling them to shove their job because I couldn't bear to be part of something so fucking vile. Until you do you are just fucking cunts.

With this precedent the next person they do this to might be under the speed limit and end up as a quadriplegic and the pig will get fined how much then. $100? No doubt he will be on paid leave throughout and won't be disadvanted at all. Unlike the victims family who have lost everything and more.

.....might think twice about heading over a blind crest at a stupid speed.

[tigertim20]

pretty shallow argument from someone who always bangs on about safety etc. The point here is that doing a turn at that point of the road was a dangerous decision, and a dangerous place to make the manouvre. The person who was killed couldve been anyone, in any vehicle, travelling at any speed.
all other factors being the same, had the u turn not been performed, a life would not have been lost, that we can be certain of, but had he been at the speed limit, he would most likley have still been killed, or at the least, quite badly hurt.

And the 'speeding' comment isn't really that well supported, the 'estimates' from the people who were supposedly professionals in the field of such things were somewhere between 114, and 158km or so? thats a BIG gap, he might have been at 105, who knows, with an estimate THAT vague, it's a bit hard to state unequivocally that he was definitely speeding, or at a dangerous speed

No again but that wasn't the point

And police volunteers deal with crime/traffic accidents/life saving situations, aside from two lives i saved, one at a small passenger plane crash at Denham airfield who had a deep neck wound and another who suffered deep stab wounds to his chest and his mouth cut open back to his ear while on duty, dealing with other crime including busting someone with 500g of crack cocaine (which is quite a large amount to find) and coming across numerous other incidents like Friday night town centre assaults/fights/domestic incidents/traffic accidents/arrested numerous drunk drivers while patrolling myself on my own amongst numerous other crimes including arresting a wanted sex offender while off duty. Dozens of crimes that would have gone undetected or " they got away with" had i not been a special.

I would have said at the start my motivation to join was due to being a kiwi and its the kiwi thing to do as we like to help out in our community but in reality to start with it was the numerous people stating they do not see enough police on the streets in the uk and i was one of them happy to moan and complain but i decided well i am going to go out there to add that extra officer to the community rather than sit back complaining like i actually know what it is about.

I was giving up a minimum 10 hours a week despite having a 40 hour a week job to do and a very supportive wife at home i could have spent more time with or even gone out drinking myself instead on a friday/saturday night but i was out on the beat for no pay.

Yes there are the "18 -20 year old specials" who liked to wear the uniform for the 'cool factor' with aspirations of joining the police full time but out of the 10 specials on my team he was the only one, the other 9 on my team were 30 year old+ career professionals and family people like myself with wife/kids/husband and other jobs/careers to go too who had not intention of joining full time, i see the "annoying people" comment to be taint everyone with the same brush due to what i assume was a bad experience you had with a few specials yourself or seeing articles in the newspaper like this one in the OPs post, hell we all know that in every industry or walk of life there are always bad apples - but in reality there are alot of specials out there who did it for the love of making a difference like myself.

I will say what i have said before to people, go volunteer as a special like I did for 8 years and then make judgement… ….people are quick to judge what specials are about and profile them to a certain group and what they do but when challenged to go find out for themselves they never do because its easier to sit back complaining.

But i am not sure why i tried to justify the role or people like me who did it by writing all of the above, you made it clear i am part of the "annoying people and you have no admiration for people like myself" but i know what i did out there made a difference in peoples lives because they mother of the young stab victim who's life i saved i know has admiration for people like me who special-ed, its still clear by the xmas cards i get from her several years later all the way from England still.

[Rashika]

The uk case sucks arse BIGTIME, she should get the same as any other driver.
Sometimes the kiwi courts actually do get it right though...

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/2301604/Police-three-point-turn-guilty-verdict

and for those who know the road, it is actually quite difficult to speed by much over the limit, and fkn near impossible to stop in time at most legal speeds if someone does something so incredibly BEYOND stupid as this driver/cop did... car or bike it would have had near the same outcome

[Katman]

And the 'speeding' comment isn't really that well supported, the 'estimates' from the people who were supposedly professionals in the field of such things were somewhere between 114, and 158km or so? thats a BIG gap, he might have been at 105, who knows, with an estimate THAT vague, it's a bit hard to state unequivocally that he was definitely speeding, or at a dangerous speed

Clearly, I'm somewhat more of a realist than you.

[Smifffy]

So who doesn't think that Lenihan was showing off to his mate with a thrilling display of rapidly entering into hot pursuit? Got your ears on Enos?

I'm damned sure if you or I were driving that car on that day, then the penalties would have been much greater.

[ducatilover]

'Cos of course, no-one else broke the law that day.

The biker was on the RHS of the road doing an overtake past a van on the approach to a junction. She couldn't see him, he couldn't see her.

The family have nothing but praise for the investigating offers, who have pressed very hard for the CPS to prosecute. They've refused.

A rather misleading comment considering that nobody here cried bloody murder in respect to the incident to which you are referring in the first incident.

Idiots like the safety homo are too easily confused and are likely to take it out of context and see it as a vindication of our local filth getting a paltry hand slap when breaking the law by comitting considerably more reckless acts (U turns at road crests) than using a cell phone when driving.

Can I have the RC166

[phill-k]

Just one or three facts for u

"U" turn was commenced approximately 65mtrs from the crest of the hill, at 100km stopping distance on a motorcycle on a dry road is approximately 96mtrs.

Avoidance at less than 40kms should have been easy, if not chances of survival should have been.

Very doubtful that at a collision rate of approximately 40kms a rider would upon a sudden stop fly 70 further mtrs and impact a tree.

Oh and its a pointless point but the rode code requires you to proceed at a speed where by you can stop in half the visible distance ahead.

Final fact on a bike a fuckup often really is.

[ducatilover]

Can I have the RC166 No, mine!

I can identify with that as I also have fought alongside cops in brawls when they have been outnumbered. But that was back when it didn't hurt as much and I was confident that I was helping the good guys. Now days I can't be sure. I don't want to help a rapist, bully or someone who falsifies evidence, so I doubt I would as I would first have to be confident that they were a good person.

Sure, there are some bad apples in the police force (Met a few!)
But the popo have a prick of a job!, and deserve respect for serving there communities.

I have friends & family in the force...my Uncle was ex popo...dunners CIB, he volunteered to help out on the west coast during some big event they had on...his reward for donating his time and helping out?
...he walked into a bar and got struck on the head with a steal bar stool as soon as he entered:(....that incident left him fighting for his life and in a medically induced coma!...he could never return to front line work after that.
But what I remember of that incident was the amazing support the police gave to his family...they stood by him, and went above and beyond for there work mate in his time of need....that speaks volumes about the force and the people in it as far as Im concerned.

Some people hate the police...thats there call, Me?...I have nothing but respect for them! (altho I do like giving scummy & rastuscat a bit o friendly shit lol)
The police just do there job, they don't make the rules or the law, they are just paid (bugger all!) to enforce other peoples decisions...even if they don't agree with it.

Please, Don't let the bad apples blind you from the fact that most popo...are genuinely very nice people:yes:, who try there absolute best to do there job well, and serve there communitys as best as they can, despite all the shit they put up with.

...and bad popo, usually get sorted out internally :msn-wink:...nobody likes to work with a prick! (especially when they wear the same uniform as you)

All good Wtk. Yep, I'd jump in too if needed to help out. I absolutely hate bullies (plus drug dealers and terrorists by the way) the Cops are human after all and as we know there's good and bad but, if someone's outnumbered and being beaten up who cares, and knows for that matter about their background.

Anyway, I've just got back from my usual Northern/East Coast circuit and interestingly enough had an unscheduled coffee break (police checkpoint) in a place called Kaukapakapa. Apparently, there's been a spate of crashes up that way that they're trying to get a handle on.

Of course they did the licence, WoF and rego checks which after being entered in the hand held device provided all the info about me that they needed. I got shown some details and funnily enough, my photo was from my firearms and not drivers licence.

But all in all very friendly and I had a good chat with the younger one about motorbikes and cars.

[Banditbandit]

Nope, different roles, different people. I have 100% admiration for all volunteers but not for special police. I have met many and never been impressed by their motivations to fulfill their community role.

plus volunteer firefighters fight real fires, volunteer paramedics save real lives. volunteer policemen ? not sure what they do of any use that any civil minded citizen does.
