Do we have entrapment laws in NZ?
Isn't it both dangerous and entrapment when cops sit up your arse with their lights on high beam trying to goad you into racing?
Or is there another purpose to this dangerous driving technique?

If they do that I suppose it would only be fair to stand on your brakes - if they hit you they haven't been keeping adequate distance and ought to get both a traffic infringement and hopefully disciplinary action...
But yes, they should not be allowed to do that :no:

If a car is dangerously close i will try to minimise the danger. Do you think slowing down will help when travelling at 100kph?????
if he has his lights on high, it is probably dark and ergo hard to tell its a cop.
or are you being pedantic over the term racing.
end of the day stranger I think you could get off if you could prove you were fearing for your safety and that the cop really was that close, and the cop may get disciplined or "dangerous driving"'d. Not sure if we have entrapment laws though.....
but regardless, who's the judge gunna believe?

Today I was on the Southern heading into town from Karaka, cop hops on at Manukau, I sit on 110, he catches up to me, I pull over, he passes me, I pull back in behind him and follow him all the way into town sitting on 115kph. Slowed down a little thinking he may ticket me and he just kept pulling away when I was sitting on about 112kph. He was just cruising up behind people until they pull over and just kept on going.

She certainly wails like a cop car, has to magnificent headlights and she doesn't mind being poked in the exhaust... as for my comment, it's late, i'm tired, I could have explained a little better etc...

No, not really being pedantic over the term racing. It would however appear to be the only logical reason I can think that they do this. Happy to be corrected here.
The situation specifically to which I refer is tonight on the ATNR.
The cops were playing cat and mouse with us again, no worries, we know the risks and no I didn't earn myself a ticket, but on 3 separate occasions they tailgated bikes. Twice with lights on full and through some very tight twisties.

In that case I'd say whoever was tailend charlie should just engine brake down to, let's say, 50 km/h while the rest of the group takes off...

Be careful on the twisties as they did a Poshe (sp) driver for going over the posted speed on a corner, mind you he was doing 130 round a 75km/ph corner.

Its not entrapment its tailgating and it is a $150 fine for doing it. So next time it happens pull over, let them pass, note the car's rego, get on the phone to *555 and report their bad driving.

Lol 130 is over the speed limit.
Well I was messing with him on the straights going real slow but hauling round the corners and losing him. He followed me for ages without pulling me over. Then mysteriously Around another corner I had dissappeared:whistle:

touch your brake lights gently and wave them back off you with your spare hand. If they ignore you, raise a gloved finger real high and leave it there until they back off. Take great care not to break ANY law in the process of this. You pay your road user charges just like the next guy, and that means you do not have to "get the fuck outa the way" for anyone.
Don't do this with a non-pig car coz you will have a battle on your hands - probably one you will not win.

If this is true then report it even if you and your mates were being fuckwits, there is no excuse for the cops dangerous driving. If you were breaking the law you should have been ticketed otherwise they should leave you alone.

I think that was the problem, the cops said they hadn't been on the Thursday ride for a while and they were obviously looking for some action but there was a general lack of fuckwittedness.
The 2 tickets handed out were for bikes having their lights on full beam. Probably not the smartest move, but the guys were pissed at being tailgated by a car with thier lights on full beam, so returned the favour - well the full beam part anyway.

Given the basis of your question, I would recommend some caution before criticising others of being "pretty fucking dumb".
"Racing" or not is a matter of personal choice. If some nong is up your arse with their lights on high beam there is no imperative on you, as the driver of the car in front, to accelerate. I think you would have some difficulty pleading "entrapment" as a defence if you got nicked trying to outrun a Police vehicle that was following you.

Dangerous - yes, pull over, let them past get rego, place, date and time and ring it in. I've done it previously and will gladly do it again. If they have a record of doing this stuff it can be noted...
Unless they have the red and blues turned on I find it hard to imagine any reason for them to do this. Where, when? Day? Night?
It's a bit of a leap to say they were goading you into racing isn't it (but then - I wasn't there... so what do I know?)

If anything I'd say the imperative is your personal safety which would require you to pull over (speeding up is easily argued to exchange one type of risk for another, and then you break a law or two... for which you will be nicked).
Pull over, get rego, complain... through offical channels.
I still have a hard time with entrapment though - even if they did a u-turn etc. If they did that and sat back obeying the 2 second rule would that be different? I don't understand which part of their actions would specifically constitute entrapment

Yes, sure, that is what I do, and what the other guys did as and when space and time permits. In narrow, tight twisties on an unlit road, part way through a corner being dazzled by full beams it's not just a case of instantly pulling over, but where safe to do so they did. Case closed as regards the bikers actions. But still I question the cops motives and actions.
The U-turn one is obviously HDTBoy taking piss, hence my reply was also taking piss.

I know this police officer quite well. He has taken my license twice, and shoveled on $2k of fines - yes hes just doing his job, but takes great satisfaction in it - not to mention being a wanker - tries to get you annoyed to say something stupid that he can do you for - seems he does the same thing on the road.
just last week on the ATNR, he was coming out of waitoki, full beams on straight at me. I flashed to let him know, and he just carried on as he were.
We are not cop bashing, just this particular cop.
He did a similar thing to chrislost a few weeks back on the auckland motorway, late at night, he was cruising at 95, said cop comes right up his arse, with high beams on, chris sped up to like 110 and gave him the finger out of frustration (as most of us would do to a normal car) and said cop pulls him over and throws the book at him. $1k+

If it is just a jumped up cop being a fuckwit, make an official compaint. They can search his citations and build a picture from there... If you also complain about his dangerous driving, high beams and taligating etc... the case can only be taken more seriously... Make the complaint though, don't just moan about him...

As for the entrapment - Yeah right!
Impossible to prove their intent - despite what you think - there could be a number of reasons that he could argue.
What he was doing is dangerous driving. If a number of the riders who saw this all went to their local police station and lodged a complaint giving about the same time date etc with the guys rego then Im sure hes toast. going to the station holds a lot more weight than a *555
But Im guessing everyone will sit back do nothing and simply bitch about him and say that the police would do nothing about it anyway.

Totally different set of circumstances but legal precedent can be odd that way. My Brother and his mate were about to get their heads stoved in by a number of scary dudes at a seedy establishment a few years back. My Brother legged it out the bathroom window, got the car round front while his mate made a massive bid for freedom with several pursuers.
They successfully escaped, gassed it and ran straight into a check point, done for DIC. The matter went before the courts and was successfully defended on the basis that you are allowed to break the law if you are trying to preserve your life or person from serious injury.
Seems to me if you're in a vulnerable situation and you flee to preserve your safety from a tail gating cop then you may just have a leg to stand on. I suspect their word against yours in the majority of cases….

Presumably someone on this ride has a video camera they use to record their rides occasionally. Mount it on the back of the bike and ride as tail-end charlie. Do it every ride. Every time you get aggro from this cop, make a complaint, including a _copy_ of the video, and witness statements from as many people on the ride as you can. Do it every time. After the 3rd complaint with no apparent action from the police, take copies of the videos and witness statements etc to the media.
Saying "this cop is being a prick" in KB isn't going to amount to a hill of beans. If you want to get the problem sorted properly you're going to have to (a) get organised and (b) work the system. Harder, but more satisfying in the end.

Have you heard the saying - Discretion is the better part of valour.
Ask yourself - Riding with no WOF, REGO, and outside of licence conditions.
You have the option to pull to the left and let him go, or start speeding and pull the finger at him.
What one is the smart thing to do, and what one is just bloody stupid?
If people carry on like that then they will always get done for $$ after $$$$.
Anyway - to move forward:
Why not use the KB community. Apparently this copper is well known.
IF everyone who has bad instances with this guy (like the tail gaiting) got off their ass and lodged complaints (perhaps we could start a sticky thread for compaints actually lodged against this copper) it will get to the point when even the traffic powers that be will see "whoa baby - there is a problem here".
Heck - after 12 months we could use the information act to see how many formal compaints made by bikers were made against officer XXX - and that will make good reading in the Herald esp if the bastard is still on the road.
Gotta make and effort to make it work tho'

I'm pretty keen on the video evidence idea. Surely if enough of us with rear facing video cameras were able to catch him/them in the act on video then they'd be screwed. Surely you all have a camera that is capable of recording up to an hours footage - especially knowing that they only cover certain parts of the route anyway.
Surely if you aren't riding in a manor that would get you in trouble in the first place then he'd be the only one with something to worry about.

Nope, just to correct you Gareth...in this instance he followed us all the way from old north rd to dairy flats...we stopped had a 10 min break and took off again and whatttyaknow...hes up my arse again with lights on full...then overtakes me in a 100kph zone while I was doing 105kph??? He had no red and blues on and took off ahead after the guys way in front of me.

If this cop is as bad as some say then it needs to be sorted. Best way I know of is to do some filming. You will need a group of riders on call at a moments notice (weekends??) who can drop what they are doing and respond with a vid cam. Several will be better The object is to let said cop know that you are watching his every move.
Film him on the road. Film him when he is writing out tickets.
Follow his every move. Make sure that he can see you and film film and more filming I posted a thread STROPPY COP Might be a good idea to have another look. (that journo asked some pertinant questions) When he comes over and asks what you are doing tell him that is actions are dangerous and unless he improves his road safety skill there will come a time when he will not see you filming him and he will be the subject of an offical complaint. If he calls for back up don't worry there is nothing that the law can do to stop you recording. You are on a public road and providing you are not interupting traffic or acting in an unlwafull manner there is nothing that the police can do to stop you filming all their moves.
In short gentleman make his life a misery. Remember he is your servant YOU ARE NOT HIS. Have fun.

I was noodling along in my cage heading to tauranga and came up to passing lanes, dude in front was realy going slow then sped up to 120km/hr at the passing lanes, road rage kicked in so i floored it exceeding that 120 looked alonside me and it was an under cover cop.
im sure he was doing it to piss me off to the point id get caught, i slowed down (didnt over take) as soon as i saw the uniform, tucked in behind him and pouted.

What a wonderful thread. Everything out in open cyberspace where the ginger cunt can read it at his leisure.
Be smarter and organise "countermeasures" in the privacy of the "ATNR Regulars" social group area. At least it will be private and the cunt will be guessing what is being planned... unless someone allows him access.

You have the option to pull to the left and let him go, or start speeding and pull the finger at him.
What one is the smart thing to do, and what one is just bloody stupid?
You obviously dont know this cop. If you pulled over to the left, he would actually pull you over and proceed to ticket you for driving too slowly.
ask kittyhawk, they did that to her one night.

The only problem with that is that this guy is not just a menace to the ATNR folk, he is a menace to all bikers. Apparently (I have to say apparently, because I have not myself officially encountered him) he has a massive antagonism towards motorcyclists just because they ARE motorcyclists, no matter how law abiding they may be. Indeed he is probably more of a menace to those who have no part in the ATNR than those who do, since the latter will be expecting him.
As reported, his actions appear now to have crossed the boundary between agressive policing and intimidation, harrassment and dangerous driving. (I wonder about perjury, too)
There seem to be two options to me: a concerted approach to his superiors (unlikely to have any effect); or a joint complaint to the Police Whitewash Authority. Who will, of course, whitewash it, but at least it his bosses will be forced to take note of what he is doing.Boss cops do nbot like PCA complaints.
If some folk who have suffered his attentions who do NOT take prt in the ATNR could be found that would lend much credibility to the complaint .

Your post reminds me of the attitude some have, that bikers are temporary Kiwis.
Try thinking outside the square. Buy a Guzzi and make a start.:soon:

On one wheel past a kindy in a 50kph zone....? Your call.
I was talking about the KB way. I have seen so many people leave the pub after the ATNR and accelerate no higher than 70 or 80... with one particular incidence involving a landlords ZX10 being thrown down the road as a result.
Young, dumb and full of cum.
So - question for you... and I quote...

Paradoxical yet reciprocal eh?
