Cops are funny coz...

[race me!!!!]

the other night i decided to speed a bit down my favorite road which is just b4 my house.
so i "hurtled along" prob bout *removed* not noticing a cop car coming the other way.
i turned down my street wheelied up my drive way and pulled off my helmet to be met by two charming police officers telling me "to get the fu&$ off my bike and put my helmet on the ground" as soon as i stepped off my bike cop no1 started pushing me round asking me why i was running from them? then cop no2 says oh fuc% you again! and got quite agressive trying to get me on the ground
then ping on turns my outside security lights and he saw i wasnt the guy he was thinking of so i calmly explained he couldnt have known me bcos i havnt even been arrested before!
so he apoligises profusley and takes my lisence into the car to check up on me! all the while cop no 1 had gone inside to ask the people inside if i lived at that adress which of corse i did! cop no2 came back and said sweet never heard of you until now!
then cop no1 says "going a bit fast wernt you i reckon you were doing well over 100 k" cop no2 goes "yeah i reckon bout 140" so i asked did you pace check me? both cops say no! so i asked did you have your radar on? both say no! so i calmly thanked them for their time and turn to walk away! they both said oi!
i turn around and am presented with a 65 in a 50 ticket
thanking my lucky stars i take it and go inside hands shaking
they could of taken my lisence and my bike!

morale of the story look b4 you speed lol :done:

[Madness]

I've noticed that failing to stop is something they tend to take personally. Probably detracts from their feeling of superiority and immense power.

Be nice to coppers and (sometimes) they will be nice back.

[Meanie]

You are one lucky sob :Police:

[Karma]

Lucky yes, but probably also stupid for posting this on here.

You people forget that coppers read these forums, and I'd be surprised if the guys that stopped you don't hear about your bragging.

Just be prepared to be watched a little more closely in future.

I wish i was cool like you....

How about moral of the story "Dont speed in a 50kmh area, just leave it for the deserted back roads where you can only take yourself and a cow out, rather than yourself a kid???"

[Lazy7]

I think thats just great.

Why dont I copy/paste your confession into the police feedback form saying - hey, you know that kid you stopped but couldn't ticket? Well he's been bragging about doing 130 in a 50. Is a confession enough for a bigger ticket?

Real smart buddy.

dont think it would happen? check this out http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3449158a10,00.html

[The Pastor]

Sif, its a bit differnt from photographic evidence and I doubt that the coppas will find out/ care. I'd never do that but as I SMOKE P AND SELL DRUGS TO LITTLE KIDDIES im super paranoid about cops reading what I type then hacking the mainframe and downloading the matrix.

[Switch]

at first i thought u were doing 130 in a 100. but 130 in a 50!! :oi-grr:

[madboy]

130 in a 50? I'm guessing there's mitigating factors to being able to do that in a way that you would term "safe" and "worthwhile". I'm not throwing stones, I'd just like you to elaborate on how 130 in a 50 was safe this time.

Unless of course it was a 100 zone which then went down to a 50 where you were doing a lot less than 130, and you're thinking the "runner" could have cost you your license.

[Colapop]

It's kinda ironic that depending on, maybe, who you are or how "cool" what you did was, the reaction on here is sometimes very supportive bordering on hero worship or completely the opposite!
I don't support what this rider has done, but neither do I completely believe everything posted here either. 130 in a 50? If the police had seen that they'd be alot more vehement in "getting their man". I think maybe there's been a little exageration and a little overreaction to it in this thread...

[Lazy7]

whether the events are true or not. its still a post on KB from a registered kiwibiker.

we complain about cops being too hard on us without reason in one thread then joke about how we got away with it in another.

just doesnt add anything positive to the kb image.

[White trash]

Bet it was a fucken mint wheelie on a Hornet 2 fiddy too.

[onearmedbandit]

Well it wouldn't take too much detective work, his rego plate is proudly displayed in his profile!! :lol: :lol:

[madboy]

It is true about circumstances and "KB persona" playing a role in the reaction. But even if it is an exageration, he could have at least spiced it up a bit? I mean, he could have claimed he saw the cop and did a runner deliberately. 130 in a 50 with the law in tow is hardly anything to get excited about.

[Colapop]

When you get a dog and beat it to teach it something it doesn't learn and won't do the job you want it to. But if you encourage it and positively reinforce the good things it does then you'll have a much better friend.

The same applies to people.

[Ham]

130 on a Hornet? must be a long street? :moon:

We had a "Corporate getaway" weekend last year. Left two grads with bite marks

[Lias]

For those who mention that doing "bad stuff" and getting flamed/clapped on the back on it depends on how cool you are, I dont really think so for the most part.

Most of us go a bit faster than the speed limit says, some of us go alot faster than the speed limit says, but I know very few on here who'd go such high speeds in a 50k zone. I think thats why this guys getting flamed and he bloody well should too, and so should anyone else who brags about getting away with doing 130 in a 50km zone, becuse thats the retarded behaviour that gives all of us a bad name, and makes Mr Plod hand out 61 in a 50 tickets to every bike he sees.

Hope the cops nail your sorry arse to the wall Mr race me.

[kro]

The behaviour of the police seems very out of character, and your speed was not cool, just for the record.

[Edbear]

Wot they all said! Seriously, though, I guess the reactions here have given you something to think about. That's what is so good about a site like this, we get many different perspectives and views of things and the hopefully happy result is that we learn and become more thoughtful and better riders and ambassadors for biking. Take everything in the spirit in which it is given.:Police:

[the legend]

hang on hang on hang on how can they give u a ticket when they had no proof and what they did was illigal. sue the fucks they can go to hell along with the rest of the unjust ones thats strait out unfair they had no proof of ur speed hence they cant present you with a ticket

[Madness]

Well it wouldn't take too much detective work, his rego plate is proudly displayed in his profile!! :lol: :lol:

The speed was obviously exaggerated, He's a motorcycle salesman!! Probly sells Honda's too.

[kiwisfly]

sniff...sniff...me thinks after reading the posts here & no response from our hero i'm wondering if we have a case of one shitting oneself????!!!!!

[bobsmith]

I'm throughly disgusted reading this thread.

This is clearly a case of the p*(@# harassing a citizen and even if he was the guy they were looking for, it still does not excuse them of the swearing and pushing, and some are saying that maybe he shouldn't have been going so fast??? Ummmmm priorities anyone?

I'm going to make sure I keep my bloody voice recorder and carry it on me at all times, and believe me, it will be on everytime I smell bacon to catch every bit of the uneducated idiocy that comes out of their mouth.

(Ohhhh that's a pretty cool earthquake going on right now.)

Petrified, no really :laugh:

Doing 130kmh in a 50kmh residential street is stupid, doing it down your own street even more so. Buy the guy they mistook you for a beer, cos that would be an easy 1k+ fine and long disqualification.

You Dont need to. Its already been viewed and probably discussed by who knows how many cops. 'Tis only time now.

Can people learn?

Well yeah, if you have a tape recorder and you're the one swearing... well no comment :killingme

I never said that I condone such speed. Hell, if someone's doing 130km/hr in 50km/hr zone with me around I'd be bloody pissed off. I only commented on the professionalism of the :Police: involved and that it was very troubling and disgusting.

[Lou Girardin]

Aside from the 130 in a 50, why would anyone think getting mistaken for someone else, being assaulted by Police and THEN being handed a ticket for a speed they didn't/couldn't check is lucky?
I'd being having a long conversation with my lawyer right now.

Go for it sunshine! If you do something that I believe deserves a bollocking then you're goingto get a bollocking complete with nonP.C. attitude and bad language.

Want to record it and go to P.C.A.? Fire ahead, I won't give a shit, I most likely will have a shit-load of more pressing matters to deal with your pissy complaint.

Of course some would say "good on you, takes him off the streets for the P.C.A. and he won't be writing tickets"

Others would say "get over it and let him get on with real policing, they're short handed enough"

We do get drongos down here the record roadside stops etc, guess what? I've never heard of one being used successfully against a cop - but I suppose it helps Energiser batteries profit margin.!

[Squeak the Rat]

I think the word you used was "bacon".

How to piss of the coppas so that you need that voice recorder :rofl: [sits back and watches]

[Two Smoker]

If there is no definative record of your speed (ie no radar lock or laser lock or speed check) you can be charged (not ticketed) with exceeding the speedlimit which results in a fine of $1000 and no demerits... So who should be fucking lucky he got a ticket for only $120...

As for people saying "Cop professionalism (sp)" Look at yourselfs... Your all saying that you would be really pissed off if you saw someone doing that speed in a residential area... AND they thought it was someone else with a previous record of runners on a bike... Yes they shouldnt really have pushed him around, but i say, we need to see more teenagers get a kick up the arse rather than think, "HA! that cop only gave me a ticket!"

[The_Dover]

How did he get the bike and the wheelie bin to stick to the wall like that??

Oh, and you're a very bad boy for speeding and doing wheelies. Don't do it again cos it makes us all look like naughty bikers.

[Lazy7]

For the benefit of everyone here, could you please explain exactly where on West Tamaki Road (Glen Innes) the speed limit is 100 km/hr. This is a built up residential area.

Your story keeps changing to suit yourself and I think its just a figment of your imagination that you were pushed around by the cops.

You're on a learners licence trying to be a bloody hero, and in the process giving everyone else here a bad rep. Your rego is now memorised.

Discretion as to what you post on here can take you a long way...BS is fine, but watch for potential unintended consequences, as the cops on here are real, and seem like pretty decent folk for the most part IMHO. Is antagonising them really going to achieve anything positive for you in the future, or anyone else for that matter?

Muse on that for a moment. And then read this <a href="http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=26043">thread of mine.</a>

If you're polite, and take yer medicine, then you get a little further with the Police than you might otherwise be entitled to sometimes.

If what you say about the police pushing you is true, that is of concern, and warrants legal advice (unless, of course, for some reason it was appropriate.)

However, as the Police ID number is on the ticket (so it's not just an anonymous 'bad cop'), and there were obviously witnesses who could verify a fracas at home (to verify that you lived there) , I'm not sure your side of the story is all there is to it. Why would the police identify themselves with paperwork if they'd just broken the rules?

I have no problem with the Police having a bit of a nut-off from time to time when it's appropriate to issue a bollocking, so long as it is not offensive (ie racist or suchlike). I'd much rather have a bollocking and be scared into behaving than meet a 'by the rulebook' copper that was polite but condescending as they handed me the exact ticket I deserved in the circumstances.

Take it easy on the roads, we're all mortal.
