Take it easy out there tonight - Sth Ak

[Grizz]

The :Police: are pissed out Sth, just been listening to the scanner, a bike which was suspected of failing to stop earlier, pulled in to a gas station, a cop or two tried to garb the rider and he sped at them and dragged one behind for a short distance, before scaperring Sth down Gt Sth Road towards Manurewa.

Since then there has been a frenzy and all bikes are being looked at carefully. Evens ATTOMS are scanning the motorways and reporting back to units.

One bike was 'going quite quickly' towards East Tamaki, no units were close but they commented that it may have been a consolation prize for the bike that was missed earlier.

So keep your noses clean tonight, they are defintely not happy with us bikers.

HOPE HE GETS AWAY , HAHA DRAGGED THE COP

[sugilite]

In my younger days, I "may" have dragged off a few cops, but never actually dragged one along for the ride!!!

[Grizz]

And he was so angry he wanted to charge him (in addition to the other ones) attack with a deadly weapon!

[N4CR]

Hmm... well i'm going for a ride now so i'll see what is about. Might go bait the rice and then take off at grandma speed :lol:

[**R1**]

They should let him go...

come on they had him in the palm of their hands and let him go.....
what do they want him to do crawl??

[vince25]

call me stupid, but what are ATTOMS?

[Firefight]

call me stupid, but what are ATTOMS?


they the non police dudes( civilian) who sit in the control room at the old Harbour bridge office watching all the spy cams around the Ak motorways sytem and reporting shit to the HP., can't remeber what it stands for, but thats who they are and what they do.

F/F

[Toast]

Woooo....drama in the city...damn, wish I coulda been there to see that.

Man it must be fun listening to those police scanners sometimes :p

[Grizz]

can't remeber what it stands for, but thats who they are and what they do. F/F

Transit New Zealand runs ‘ATTOMS’, the Auckland Transit Traffic Operations Management Service, managing Auckland’s motorways and key regional arterial roads. ATTOMS is run from a control centre operating 24 hours a day, every day of the year

As FF says, they operate the spycams.

[Grizz]

Man it must be fun listening to those police scanners sometimes :p

Yeah it gets real interesting at times, especially the chases.

[N4CR]

Well I had a nice 'personal chat' to the policeman in question who was dragged trying to stop the bike. It was a stolen ZX6R, mid ninetys. The cop is a biker after work too.

[Grizz]

Hope he is alright, he mentioned loosing a bit of blood.

[N4CR]

Just had a bit of a tear in his jacket, looked fine to me... he was out lasering at mt wellington offramp at 9:40 or so, so can't have been that badly knocked around.

And yeah he is the one that got me disqualified. Nice guy though!

[N4CR]

LOL.. did you just stop and ask what the go was eith the chase... and it was the cop that booked you... arse

It's illegal to stop on the motorway unless I have nice flashign lights like you :P

/spills story

Was doing under 110 all the way from symonds st onramp, some faggot in a toyota tureno tailgated me the whole way (I moved into the empty middle lane the whole way there while noone else was in the fast lane so it WAS deliberate). I was going to get off at Mt wellington so decided to wind it on so I wouldn't have him right up my arse when I had to brake for the offramp.

Wound it on a little too much, got pinged and the cop was suprised and thankful I stopped. Probably would have been close to binning it on the corner if it wasn't for them so I sorta have two minds about this incident. The cop was very nice and explained a whole lot of circumstances and why/how etc etc and what would have happened if the speed had not been as high.
There are a few more details but I won't post them on here.


He is just doing his job and was very nice, if I had nearly been killed by a stolen bike I would not have been as nice to myself that night... hats off to him.

[Grizz]

Shite, I tell you blokes (and Gals) to be careful and you get pinged, sheesh!:doh: :bash:

[N4CR]

Shite, I tell you blokes (and Gals) to be careful and you get pinged, sheesh!:doh: :bash:

Yeah well it was those 5 seconds of braking the law that got me after riding for an hour or so perfectly legally......

[Grizz]

Oh dear.. tristan... cant say you wernt warned... cant believe you went out to find out about this crap and got caught in the trap..

Ditto, but now I feel kinda responsible :o

The way you were talking I thought you might have known him, too tired to realise what happened until you replied to SpeedMedic.

[N4CR]

..Remember this post a couple of hours ago.. I reckon there was a flaw in your plan.

Yeah I meant what I posted... rev em up then dawdle along doing nothing. I didn't even get the chance - I ended up keeping a exceptionally clean nose untill then.

Karma is a bitch eh :blink:

[Indoo]

HOPE HE GETS AWAY , HAHA DRAGGED THE COP

Wow so now you support bike thieves, you really are a winner. Maybe if you had a bike worth stealing you might think differently.

[onearmedbandit]

Indoo, we only just found out it was a bike theif.

[Lou Girardin]

And he was so angry he wanted to charge him (in addition to the other ones) attack with a deadly weapon!

He's been watching "Worlds stupidist Police chases" too much.

[Indoo]

The post before Winja's doesnt say it was stolen. Winja hates bike theives.

Then he should probably wait until he finds out why the guy was doing a runner before spouting off on his angsty rebellious teenager anti establishment act. Although that is probably asking a bit much of him.

[NodMan]

HOPE HE GETS AWAY , HAHA DRAGGED THE COP

So what do you ride WINJA??? just so I know not to stop it after some low life lifts it from you!!!

Must be the same cops that stopped me for speeding at the Mt Wellington turnoff just a few weeks back. :blip:

[ManDownUnder]

So help me out here...

I see there was a couple of comments saying ha ha hope he gets away, outrun the cops, let him go etc...

And I see another comment reporting it's a stolen bike they were trying to stop (and recover). I am making the assumption that you guys would want him caught?

So which is it? (and please - no weasel words... straight answers would be good)

[ManDownUnder]

So to clarify - are you for or against the cops stopping stolen bikes?

Sounds like some sort of new "tag and release" policing system to me...:blink:
