Quotable Quota Quotes

[rastuscat]

I reckon I've heard them all, but maybe not.

Post up your quota quotes, I could use a laugh.

Here's a starter

"Quota? Nah, there used to be a quota, now we can write as many as we like"

Go on, you know you want to..........

[FJRider]

Motorcycling is recognized as dangerous under current legislation ... So quota's no longer apply to motorcycles.

[Akzle]

fail thread fails.

[Drew]

"They only pull people over to fill their 'quota'. It's got nothing to do with the speeding".

Funniest one though, the guy who works for me. Indignant that a cop would sit at the end of the street, the RSA is on at 10pm. "They only sit there because they know they're gonna catch people"...Ummm, yeah.

[Hitcher]

There's no fucking apostrophe needed in quotas.

[Drew]

There's no fucking apostrophe needed in, "quotas".

Isn't that, more correct?

[FJRider]

There's no fucking quotas.

There ... fixed it for you ... :yes: :laugh:

[rastuscat]

Quota? Nah. But If I write 2 more before 3 o'clock I win a set of steak knives......

[awayatc]

At the Nuremburg trials Germans who tried to hide behind "I was only following orders...."

were still found guilty.....

So as long as you can live with what you do for a living .......

[Berg]

Quota? Hell no! I've already got my quota. You I'm just doing for fun:bleh:

[rastuscat]

Interesting.

Did the Nuremburg Trilas work?

[Scuba_Steve]

"Na we got rid of quotas, just have KPI's now"

[Berries]

"Na we got rid of quotas, just have KPI's now"
Or are they contacts?

Typical

not only following letter of the law

only able to see a typo.

How anal cops decide to police will depend on each individual arsehole I suppose

some are just naturals.....

[Drew]

I have no problem with cops having targets, how do the front line men and women's boss know if they're doing the job properly or not?

I might have asked this before. Id the money gathered from traffic infringements, included in the national budget though? There's a moral question raised if it is, what with the government banking on citizens breaking the law. If there is not it must be a surplus, and I've never heard of where the money goes.

And how we deal with each individual we stop depends on similar grounds.

Had a bad experience or two? Have a look in the mirror.

Thought I'd covered this before.

Fines go to what used to be called the Consolidated Fund. It's now just about the same thing, but it has a different name. Don't know what it's called.

The concept is that all gubbermint income goes to a big bucket from which spending is dished out at the budget.

Police Road Policing is funded from the Land Transport Fund. 21% of the Police's annual allocation of funds comes from there. NZTA and the Ministry of Transport contracts the Police to deliver certain categories of enforcement, paying them to do so.

For a more detailed (and yet strangely boring as batshit) explanation go here

In essence, the Police don't get the money from fines, apart from through a long winded funding arrangement. I don't know anyone in the job who gives a toss about the money, as we don't get paid based on fines collected.

I personally have views on fines and their effectiveness for various outputs, but years of writing to Ministers and CEOs has had little effect.

Yip yip, I understand all that. I don't mean the police budget, I mean the national one they release every year.

Looks like I'll have to go to archives and have a read methinks. Shoot me now!

[Supertwin Don]

What about MotoGuzzi's ?????

Batshit isn't boring at all. It's used to make nitroguanidine which, usually mixed with other nitrocellulose propellants, goes in cartridge cases to propel bullets out of the barrels of firearms.

Getting it out of the caves wouldn't be boring either, with all those assorted nasties in the bottom of the cave: cobras, scorpions and centipedes etc.

No, batshit shouldn't be boring at all. Now, sitting by the road with a speed camera *that* would be boring.

Easy job to tender for. Tech training in how to set the things up is the biggest outlay, assuming the five oh supply the cameras of course.

[Kickaha]

Rastus wouldn't be one of them, if you'd seen some of the other stuff he's organised you'd know he's a good cunt

Especially on a straight 4 lane motorway like the arseholes do on the Northern out of Chch

OK, so you think speed camera operators are arseholes? But traffic cops are ok?

Aren't speed cameras operated by contractors. Who get told where and when they need to be parked?

I know when I was doing breath testing surveys with the fuzz, the location was generated by a computer.

only place disgraced by pukes dressed up in Uniform pretending to be cops was Rangiora....

[awayatc]

If you would have had some of my experiences with the Rangiora police farce you would also be suitably unimpressed.....

yes I do tar them with the same brush.....

wear the same patch.

[Drew]

wear the same patch.
That bulshit attitude serves no one. And trust me, I've dealt with some real cunts who were cops too.

[Kickaha]

OK, so you think speed camera operators are arseholes? But traffic cops are ok?.
Yes, especially if they are on the side of four lane motorways, that has nothing to do with road safety

If you would have had some of my experiences with the Rangiora police farce you would also be suitably unimpressed....
He doesn't work in Rangiora

yes I do tar them with the same brush.....
wear the same patch.
:baby: And all Harley riders are knob ends

I'm 26 now and I've been driving since 16 but I've never been pulled over. I guess my driving is too tame.

I did have a run in on my DRZ with a check point. P:"Where's your WOF?" Me:"Ahh, well my bike kind of vibrates a lot. I think it fell off the other day." Policeman looks at my number plate which is almost torn in half. P:"Umm, don't worry. Carry on."

But he didn't check my license, lucky for me because I got that DRZ a week before I got my full. I was sweating.

[thepom]

Did,nt take long before it turned into a shit slinging contest against the cops eh!...:tugger:

Got sick of being bagged at work. Thought I'd invite some external bagging.

[Road kill]

If there was a fuckin' Quota I'd make it by lunch time every day,,,without moving from one spot.

Big red headed cop from Wairoa last year.

I thought it was funny but Brian who was getting the ticket didn't.:laugh:

[st00ji]

that could be good actually. get some rich mate to do a couple of laps of your favorite GP track, fill up all the quotas by 10am leaving the rest of you to go nuts for the remainder of the day.

Except for the demerits. And shit.

[Maha]

The last time 'Quota was' mentioned in the lunch room, Sgt Johnson had to put back the 85 Paua recently confiscated.
