Big ups for Scumdog, Patrick and other KB Boys In Blue [Archive]

Its probably been said before but just thought I'd express my respect and appreciation for the police officers who are members. You could easily stay away, target motorcyclists, and be very disillusioned by some posts on this site.

Instead you contribute useful and relevant stuff, answer questions, clarify misunderstandings etc. We'd be poorer without you.

Thankyou.

Thats one of the best examples of forward thinking arsekissing Ive EVER seen. Winston - you should write a book... "How to futureproof yourself against speeding tickets and various other misdemeanours".

Only... what happens if the cop that pulls you up isnt a member of KB??? :crazy:

All cops are pricks!!!

I have to disagree. Some very decent ones out there who are doing what they are employed to do: Making our life safer.

Personally I would never do their job. All the crap that goes with it, what it does to the private life, the circle of old friends, the limitations it puts on their life, the scrutiny they are under from all sides.

Sadly it also tends to go to somes heads.

Personally I get the feeling that the ones on here want to keep one foot in the "normal" life. Can't be easy.

Arse licking its probably not! Who cares!
But a true word has been spoken and I'd like to agree!!
And those cops on here probably put up with the odd bit of stick from their mates because of being KBer's.
Good on yer guys!!

Agree whole heartly. I have heard of a few that have helped kber's out.
Great job guys i nearly always look forward to reading your post especially scummies. :niceone:

The Police officer there was very nice even with me in a nice warm cage and him freazing outside.
You have to respect them and what they do.

Well said - most of us only know a small amount about the job.

My respect for the Police increased markedly after a SCOPE placement which gave me a better understanding of the job's true nature as the enforcement/public order arm of the law. The stuff they do is impressive, even on quiet, raining nights in South Aucks.

'Tis some useful info provided by our site Police when asked nicely too, so thanks! :yes:

It has a huge effect in that you are always recognised as a cop, even when you just want to be you and be away from the "label" enjoying family and friends.

It was a job were you see the very worst in people and also the very best.

In the main, the frontline cops do their best - just like any group of employees in any organisation. It would be good to see their bosses, the government and the media backing them fully rather than tearing into them for self gain.

Some of the best people I ever met where those working beside me in the police. I am thankful they are still there.

Don't know about Patrick. But I think part of it with Scumdog, as he has said before . He had a life before he became a cop. Maybe life experience is important after all. :eek:

I have to be perfectly honest here. I like Scumdog coz he's Scumdog. I don't really think of him as a copper....he prolly doesn't think of me as a marketing manager but hey - who cares since I've resigned from that job anyway.

Also Patrick. I haven't met him but reckon from his posts we'd prolly get on alright.

What I am trying to say is that a person is not defined by the job they do and we're all just people trying to make our way in the world.

18th August 2008, 20:27

We have one thing in common bikes.Who cares what your occupation is,nurse,ambo,firey,copper,all about the person not the job they do.

But yep good on them,tough job,and someones gotta do it.And they have a sense of humour,well the ones did that nabbed me dic years ago,told them I was too pissed to walk.They cracked up,drove my car and myself home afterwards.

Yeah, coppers are good fellas alright. Special thanks to the one who made a noticeable effort of looking the other way when I *ahem* slightly went over the speed limit a couple of months ago. Thanks dude!
Special thanks to the gentleman of the K9 unit who helped me to jump start my bike in a deserted parking lot under torrential rain when the battery went flat. You didn't have to get out of your cruiser and get all wet to help out a fellow human being. Thank you! Thanks Scumdog for being such a nice fellow.

Earlier in the year, the wife along with a few friends went to the Davenport wine festival. We had a great time, drinking wine, listening to music, eating food, acting sophisticated...
When we left, there was a booze van waiting close by. The officers were very polite as they breath tested my wife who was driving. She passed no problems. I asked the officer if I could take the test as well, as I just wanted to see if I was ok to drive. I had a few wines over the period of 5-6 hours. He was totally cool, let me take the test, which I passed.
It was good to be able to equate how buzzed I felt with how much alcohol was registered from my test without getting arrested. Very informative.

I said to the officer how it would be nice to have the machine at the festival, so you could test yourself prior to leaving, therefore avoiding driving drunk. He agreed and we all laughed.

Very common at biker parties where I originate. We did that already in the 80's. If you were over you were not allowed to leave! (more partying...)

Funny that - we were walking past the gates of said festival late in the afternoon and (as well as enjoying the music) were entertained by the rolling drunk middle aged folk staggering out ...one woman flaked out in the middle of the road....:laugh:
Back on topic - I appreciate the input from KB members who are in the force, its good to get their perspective on things.

I had a lady in a sports car once said to me "you wouldn't give a pretty woman a ticket would you?" I said "No".

I went back to the patrol car, did some checks, calmly walked back to her car and then handed her a ticket.

I'm sure I've said this before but hey it's in the right post.

As in all organisations/offices/work places there is always a prick or two. The police is a large organisation and therefore by the law of Maths there will be a few more in the police. This is unfortunate in an organisation like this but it is a fact of life that the minority make the news and generally fu*k things up for the majority.

Also with the police take into the fact they have to do what they are told to do which also takes away some of the human factor. It is unfortunate here in NZ they have been told speed speed speed is the problem and to ticket everyone and to make money. I'm sure allot of them would like to just give a warning as they can see if someone is driving well or not and if they're a few K's over a warning would be better for the driver and public relations. But like any job there are rules to follow whether you like them or not.

I watched a UK police show a while ago and the traffic officer on there said the day they take away their ability to use their own judgement within their training is the day he'll leave the job. Something like that anyway I'm sure you get the idea.

At the end of the day they are all someone's Mum, Dad, Son, Daughter, Brother, Sister and Friend. and like some have said on here don't let the job define the person.

I don't think I've met the cops on here but the fact you are on here and the comments I've heard about you, it's great to see. The only reason I'm not one is because of my eyesight as I come from a family involved with the police.

That's my bit :D
