10-7 Cliches

[scumdog]

Oh, I'm getting:

(a) tyres next week
(b) my 'full' next week
(c) I've just bought the car
(d) I don't own the car
(e) I've got it booked in for a warrant on Monday
(f) I'll get it rego'd next week
(g) yadda-yadda-yadda

They seem to think that (a) we've never heard their pathetic excuses before and (b) we believe them, and (c) we think they WILL do what they say (Tuis moment).
AND that we care about what they say...
Mwahahahaahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Madness]

Obviously didn't get enough "loving smacks" as children. The bloody WOF was out by 2 years and they just happened to get pinged the day before they had planned on getting it WOF & Rego'd. That's bad luck!.

[Colapop]

Jeez I've used none of those! Usually when I get stopped I just bail...

[Squeak the Rat]

Right up there with "I clocked you at 121".

[McJim]

Or

(a) She was a willing participant.
(b) I never put my truncheon there.
(c) What whisky bottle?
(d) He fell down the stairs.

:rofl: If yer gonna chuck stuff over the fence scummy be prepared to catch it on the way back.

[scumdog]

Right up there with "I clocked you at 121".

You have a Kwaka that will do 121 - mph I assume??

I would believe the rest of the pathetic repeated by at least 100 times explanations before that.

To add:

I've only had three stubbies.

My clutch/throttle was playing up

I'm the sober driver and I'll get my licence next week.

I never knew that pole was there!! (yeah, it happened last week-end, true!!)

[Squeak the Rat]

I have a zero tolerance to speeding! My favourite recent addition:


....we called off the pursuit before he crashed.

He/she (you?) hit me first
I never even touched her snatch
What Speights? 'not even man, I only drink bourbon'.
She was aKsking for it. (how the hell can people who failed year 6 English say a word like 'AKSKING' wtf, it is SO awkward to say!!

And cumming frae Sco'land whit wid ye 'kno aboot whit Kiwis say??

Whereas down here it is "we were just about to commence the pursuit when he crahed" mwahahah!!!!

[Smorg]

the suspect was resisting, we used reasonable force

[cowpoos]

Whereas down here it is "we were just about to commence the pursuit when he crahed" mwahahah!!!!
officer: is there any reason why you were speeding?

Mr Poo's: err....yes

officer: that is?

Mr Poo's: I was trying to get to the next gas station before the price of gas goes up again!

officer: hahahahahahahahahahaha

Mr Poo's: does that mean I don't get a ticket?

officer: ah no! your just lucky we don't give tickets for silly excuses!

[jrandom]

What, by the way, is up with calling the show "10-7"? I've always wondered.

Doesn't 10-7 mean 'out of service' or 'signing off'? It doesn't make much sense as a title for a TV show.

You'd think they'd use the 'pursuit' code, or something.

[jrandom]

10-7 means the police unit has arrived on scene, or "Located".

Ah.

So what's up with the five hundred and thirty seven or so different sets of ten-code definitions?

Who makes this shit up?

[avgas]

"I dont have any Donuts!"
"Dont worry i stole this car"
"I wasnt speeding......I WAS FRICKIN BOOTN IT!!!!"

[Delphinus]

10-4 Repeat your last message

Does this change at all (army etc) was wondering why they use Ten-Four as "roger that" in the game battlefield2. Yes i know its a game not IRL but hey :D

[jrandom]

"Roger" is actually incorrec terminology. The correct term in radio transmission is "Romeo"..

Ah well. Not quite. 'Roger' was the R-word in a phonetic callsign alphabet before the current standard. I think it became rather entrenched. Incorrect is as incorrect does...

[Grub]

What's the NZ Police equivalent of ...

{BING BONG} "Air New Zealand wishes to advise passengers that due to Operational Requirements, your flight will be delayed 15 minutes... ".

Meaning - the crew are still having lunch. Would NZ Police call be 10-5 (for obsolete dry sandwich or cold soup) or 10-8?

Think that might be a 2M for meal-break. There is a lot more than the above 10-series. Speedie might remember? Definitely not a 1M, that'd be me!

just out of interest :innocent: ...

would you go easier on someone if they gave you a really imaginative excuse?

- please don't answer if the answer would tend to incriminate you ... :dodge:

[FROSTY]

yes officer Im really sorry --I couldn't read my speedo--
Reallly dumb excuse--because it was a racebike running the engine in on and had NO frigging speedo -or indicators or --ahh ya get the picture
The guy concerned was semi happy to JUST get a speeding ticket.

I've always heard that if you get a male cop and you're busted for speeding you say that you've got your period and you have no tampons with you so before you stain your pants you're heading home....
Though I've never been pulled up :innocent: so I wouldn't know....

Being the sensitive type I would say "Ya shoulda thought of that before ya climbed behind the wheel" - or something like that...emmm.

But seriously I have yet to hear of an excuse so 'imaginative' that it warranted a "away you go, you talked me out of it' response.
