Police Chase in Petone

[jimbo600]

Well I was having a brew in Jackson St Petone and I saw some guy on a smallish bike possibly a gsx250 come flying down towards Jackson st, and then crosses Jackson St without slowing even a little bit and fucks off towards the Esplanade pursued by two police cars. Thank christ there was no traffic in Jackson St at the time or he would have been fooked. He nealy lost it on the speed bumps too.

Well shame on you mate as you didn't even pull a wheelie.

Anyone know if this guy was apprehended?

Listen here dickhead. If you can do a wheelie on a 26hp 250 whilst outrunning the feds, be my guest. It's all I could do to stop laughing at the podgy pommy bugger with a girls hair doo drinking the warm dish washing water that brits call beer at the pub on the corner.

And I was nowhere near "losing it" on the speed bumps. Never seen a "Superman seatgrab" before chum?

Nothing has come in via email from Police comms centre yet.
Mind you they don't tell us everything that happens out there.

[Coyote]

Think I've seen him ride around Upper Hutt. Went from about 0 to 120 down Fergusson Drive (50k zone)

[Marknz]

WT, that signature block of yours isn't pointed at anyone in particular is it? :no:

you wot......you wot........you wot you wot you wot!!! WWII was won thanks to that warm dishwash water.

Maybe you could have put in a better effort if it was a ambulance chasing ya.

[madboy]

Went from about 0 to 120 down Fergusson Drive (50k zone)Just as well it was Fergusson Dr, no way you'd hit that sorta speed on one of them if it was a shorter length of road.

Mate, if this dude gets away on a GSX250, I'm never gonna get another ticket... ever!

[White trash]

Maybe you could have put in a better effort if it was a ambulance chasing ya.

I'll have you know, them ambulances are downright scary when they're in hot pursuit. It's better to run than be "tagged".

Tell ya what, (just looking at my custom user title), the people manning the ambos are a bit dodgy if you leave your account signed in on KB..........

[riffer]

Hmmm.

Sounds like a certain CBR250 rider may have found himself a new ride...:chase:

[Sparky Bills]

Had this dick head coppa come in the shop today, asking questions about a bike doing a runner.
Talk about big headed! He wasnt a very happy chappy.
He stayed around looking around at all the bikes for a while, then left.
Said it was a dude wearing overalls.

[N4CR]

Overalls... who the fuck would do a runner in overalls. Quite possibly a stolen bike? Better not be! Wellington sounds like steal city, but is it a problem in Petone (aint that a little above wellington on the map?).

Quite interesting seeing how annoyed/embarassed/negative cops seem to get (noted this in other threads too) when bikes rape the police and all the resources they have on tap.

Hope they catch him if its a stolen bike... otherwise if it's not - 'no comment' :devil2:

Probably thinks it was a mechanic on a test ride ?

Can't be talking about me matey, I still get paid each week even if the bike 'rapes' me!!

BTW Only had one 'rape' me, the others eventually stopped (well two of them crashed actually - but it's still a 'stop' eh?). :msn-wink:

And the first guy 'got his' in his cage later on -still walking, was a bit of a slow learner.

But hey, who am I to worry? I don't get paid enough to worry. :wait: :rofl:

True.

The reason I said that was it seems that by actions/words many cops who enquire/follow up runners seem quite unhappy ;)
My 'rape' terminology is probably not going to be easily comprehended on here (I have a friggen weird blardy vocab while around people who know me).

You gotta agree that bikes have a better chance (with luck/skilled rider thrown in) of getting away though :devil2:

On another note... overalls - confusing me D:!?!

[mikey]

yeah i live in petone, an my bike was grey an black, petone is a gret place to lose un wanted pursurers sp? (some one following you)

but i dont have a set of overalls so was definitly not me but i think i know it who was, my skitsophrenic bud dimitri, didnt a number plate on thats a cars one with the last number grinded off jimbo?

[madboy]

I'd love to own up to this one, but sadly I'm not dumb enough to do runners wearing only overalls...

I like scumdog's odds. Guess there might be a few less side streets down his way :) Or perhaps he doesn't chase bikes willy nilly like some do...

[hondacmx450]

Dunno mate. After he passed I returned to my ale

Maybe it was a pissed off gardener..

[madboy]

...if you got a vid of it better if you post it you the man...nice thought, but on a public forum would be the absolute last place I'd stick video footage of me doing the runner... if you were the 5-0 it would hardly be difficult to track me down through this forum. I can talk all the shit I like about chases and whatnot on this site, and say hypothetically this, my mate that, and it's all really circumstantial and wouldn't hold up in court... but a video? Hmmm... bit hard to deny that one :)

But don't let me discourage anyone from posting a vid of a runner, I'd be first in line to watch :Punk:

[avgas]

Well shame on you mate as you didn't even pull a wheelie.

on a gsx250??? nah what he needs is an RG150 they do that good, and get away from cops ;)

I see you at least attempted to use some form of punctuation on the second post. Only thing is that the capital letter goes at the start of the sentence and the full stop goes at the end. Thanks for not using any text speak in that post though.

You must be a relation of WINJA's seeing as you pull out the "your mum" jokes as soon as someone puts you on the spot.

haha... nice one

[madboy]

You must be a relation of WINJA's seeing as you pull out the "your mum" jokes as soon as someone puts you on the spot.It's a bit like when cops pull you over and tell you that at 121km/h on a two lane median barriered stretch of empty motorway (excluding the laser gun toting nazi on the overbridge) driving a late model freshly warranted vehicle, they're doing a public safety role. And when you put them on the spot by asking them what contribution to road safety they are currently making? They revert back to "What's the speed limit". "100k officer, now are you going to answer my question?"

I never did get answer to that one. Of course, I went home, pulled out the bike and went back for a rematch minus numberplate - didn't hang round to ask them to share any intelligent thoughts :motu:

Maybe they shoulda reverted to the "your mumma" come backs. Woulda been more inline with their mentality.

[spudchucka]

IAnd when you put them on the spot by asking them what contribution to road safety they are currently making?
How many times a week do you think the average cop gets asked a stupid fucken question like that? If thats the best line you can come up with to put him on the spot you deserve a ticket simply for being a dumb fuck!

[spudchucka]

What stupid arse language are you speaking now? Lying in bed wanking off language it seems.

if i had of stayed in school you would be dead by nowIf you had stayed in school or even just payed a small amount of attention while you were at school, then we wouldn't be having this "conversation" now, would we?

[mikey]

SPUD, What contribution to road safety are you making when you give out tickets in situations as described by madboy, im happy to assume your a general beat copper WHO DOES GIVE OUT TICKETS as you havent dissacoiated yourself from them saying im a dog handler or something...

are you doing anything more than following orders (being a no brain speed camera handing out tickets) or can you honestly say that you think handing out tickets in situations described improves road safety?

How many times a week do you think the average cop gets asked a stupid fucken question like that? If thats the best line you can come up with to put him on the spot you deserve a ticket simply for being a dumb fuck!What's stupid about it? If someone asks me in my job why I do something, I can explain to them why. I think it's reasonable to expect that a police officer's role is public safety, and that's why we have many laws (particularly traffic) in the first place. If they were not, then it's called revenue gathering. I mean, cops are supposed to protect us. IRD collect tax.

So by asking him what public safety role he was current doing, he should be professional enough to respond to me with an actual answer to the question. Who or what is he accountable to? I would like to think he was accountable to me as a member of the public. Clearly he had some issues with his professionalism that perhaps should have been taken up with his supervisor and noted in his performance evaluations if he could not answer a basic question like that.

All he had to do was say, I'm not doing anything related to public safety, I'm busy writing you an infringement notice because you exceeded the posted speed limit. Cool, he's just answered the question in a professional manner. Instead he was either unable to (in which case he's the dumb f***) or he chose not to (in which case it's a performance issue). And no, spud, I'm not wasting my time talking to his supervisor - if I did that every time I came across a cop acting in an unprofessional manner I'd never get a chance to write anything on this forum.

If every cop answered every stupid question they get asked they would end up on Aropax or dangling from a tree through the sheer mental torture of it.

If the cop had given you the answer the question deserved then that would have been unprofessional.

Listen cheese-dick, for a start I've been drinking, that's why I'm so nice, why is it o.k. to exceed the speed limit by 20kph yet NOBODY would let me off with letting rip with my AK47 into the horizon!!

Ain't killed nobody yet by doing that!!

But I give you a ticket for 120kph ( ya ain't killed nobody yet, right? ) and ya moan like I shot you in the arse with my aforementined AK47.

Scumdog, don't take this the wrong way mate, but you must have been drinking with Andy Knackers-whatever from LTNZ. You make it sound like exceeding the speed limit is dangerous in itself.

If that was the case, how come a dangerous driving charge doesn't come with each speeding ticket?

I cannot see a scientific basis for saying that exceeding the speed limit is dangerous.

Sure, it might be quite dangerous doing it under certain circumstances, but then so is doing the speed limit in some circumstances.

The whole point of it was - the fella wanted to give me a ticket for exceeding the speed limit, yet somehow thought that had a link to performing a road safety act. That's a big stretch to make.

Fair point but I counter with: I suppose those last few 'multi-death' crashes up your end of the country were totally non-speed related???

Sure the drivers may have been drunk too - and everybody comdemns the drink-driving aspect right? but not the speed factor? :weird:

As I've said before, yeah, in places the speed limit seems somewhat tame to most of us - but the Govt' hasn't yet brought out new laws saying "if your competent and in a good vehicle and the road is clear and the road conditions are good you can travel at xxx km/h above the posted speed limit".
Face it peoples, we are all paying for the fact that there is a reasonably large sector of road users that become a danger as soon as their vehicle is in motion - let alone doing the speed limit. :wait:

So Madboy - how many times a week do you get asked dumb-fuck questions from people you are handing out fines to? What is it you do again? Aren't you one of those insurance dudes that looks for any excuse NOT to pay out?

[madboy]

So Madboy - how many times a week do you get asked dumb-fuck questions from people you are handing out fines to? What is it you do again? Aren't you one of those insurance dudes that looks for any excuse NOT to pay out?I get asked plenty of dumb f*** questions, but as I have voice recording on our calls at work, I don't get the opportunity to give unprofessional answers. Yes, I do work in insurance, but probably not in the role you think I do. Not all people who work in insurance spend their days combing the fine print looking for General Conditions, Clause 3, para 2 that says "The insurer can decline any claim on the basis they feel like it."

My point was that there are a few too many cops who mistake exceeding the speed limit for being a dangerous activity. And there are a few too many members of the society who have such a limited understanding of the mechanics and physics behind driving/riding who share that same view. I can't see how that officer at that time made a contribution to road safety. All that happens now is I make sure for that particular 1km stretch of mway I slow down to 110k in the car, and speed up to 210k on the bike.

Scumdog - I think we agree in principle, but let's look at the boys in Hastings - I was doing 20% over the speed limit on a 2-lane per way motorway with a median barrier, no vehicles on my side of the mway, the chase vehicle came out of a side street approx 500m down the road from the overbridge that I was clocked 200m before, dry road, clear weather, 3-up with all occupants buckled up. Hastings? 6-up (so even best case scenario 1 would have certainly been unbuckled although I believe many or all were?), late at night, driver with bugger all experience doing 170% of the speed limit, residential (I believe) area. Not quite in the same league. I won't pretend I'm lilly white here, I still up the ante in residential areas on occasion, but the circumstances of those boys? Lunacy even in my books.
