A new approach?

[Lou Girardin]

My brother was riding to Auckland on a well-known but nameless (to protect the innocent) road just north of here. He comes around a corner and is flashed by a cop. He wasn't speeding so was a bit puzzled by this, 1 km later he rounds another corner to find Mr HP with a laser gun.
Was cop 1 warning him of cop 2? Sure seems like it.

[Biff]

Holy cow - that's a class story. These cops keep going up in my estimations. At least until I get another speeding ticket, then they'll all be bums again. Apart from our fellow KB cops of course, who are all really nice guys (place arse licking smilie here).

1st cop must have be a biker - surely!

[bugjuice]

I saw a bike cop filter thru at traffic lights the other day, then when they went green, he gunned it off the lights!!
I think cops are starting to have the op to remove stuff.. may be..

[riffer]

Well cops are people too...

Why shouldn't the HP offer a public service to us?

Good on him I say.

Some cops will give other cops speeding tickets also.......

I was talking to a cop in omaru the other day and he'd been off the picton ferry about 15 minutes and got a ticket :Oops: So there is some cops that ticket other cops and there are some cops that help prevent people been ticketted by other cops.

2 schools of thought:

"I'm a cop, my job is to issue tickets."

"I'm a cop, my job is to get people to stick to speed limits and hopefully not have to scrape them off the road later."

Surely prevention (slow down, ya bugger) is better than cure (ticket & p*ssed off person in control of vehicle)?


The same thing happens in France too (sometimes), but I've not known it in the UK.

My 2 cents'...

I was travelling with 2 mates on the Auckland motorway a few months back. I was at the rear. We came up through those road works at Spaghetti Junction. I didn't have my radar on then and had this prickley feeling that the set of headlights further back could be a bad omen. :unsure:
So I did the speed limit of 50 ks. My Mates(?) buggered off i.e. they remained at the speed we were doing. :Oi:
I was thinking "what the hell am I doing here?" when the car comes up behind me. I remained at 50 k and held him up because we were in a one lane area.
As the car and I came into the flow and back into 80 k, I got a lot of lovely set of blue and red lights in my mirror for a brief moment. It was a mufti. Then he passed me but he couldn't see my mates because they had long gone. :2thumbsup
I couldn't tell whether he was pissed off with me or was saying "good on ya". I tend to take the positive side as I am sure that he would have pulled me over to check my licence or something if I had pissed him off. :ride:
So I tell my mates that they owe me now. :yes:

Cop 1 was a hard working GDB fella and cop 2 was an ex MOT ticket issuing machine who has probably never refereed a domestic or washed out a magot infested corpse in the morgue. I don't see the problem with the situation, cop 1 is just having a bit of fun at cop 2's expense and saving a few punters a few bucks at the same time.

I was riding out of jvil about 9 oclock 2 weeks ago an down ngauranga (yes hitcher i probably did spell that wrong) gorge and came up behind a new red commoder an was about to blitz past if for thrills when i saw the pretty little flash lights mounted above rear seats so didnt pass him. note to those who didnt take that to mean its a cop car... its a cop car.. undercover... or to an extent, they dont really try much

instead i followed him. bit of stealth action. spying on cops.

ignore above sentence

and we did approx with (5khmr) 100 down the gorge with me behind him obviously, then 120 on motorway into town, possibly 130, an when we get to the bit before aotea quay turn off there is highway patrol guy on the motorway backed up where they do (wellingtonians will know where) and copper in red commoder flashs police sirens at him for a second an isnt pulled over....


i was spewing or not really cause i had a helmet on.....

if that was me by my sely it woulda been the normal

'highway patrol man: ""wheres the fire?????''

me; FUCK YOU

highway patrol man: ""ill do you for wank wank wank wank..... then writes speeding ticket an fucks back off to find some one else to get his power tripping thrills from


(LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR REPLY SPUUDDDYIOO :::)))))

Nice,
I'm going for a burn with one of your associates who rides a gsx1400 over the weekend - he tells me it's nasty for a cop to get nailed for traffic etc nowdays because of the 'professional ramifications'.

I tell him it's just cause he has his petticoat on.

MAYBE IT WAS THE SAME CAR AND DIFFERENT DRIVER,BUT THE COP I SPOKE TO (THATS RIGHT COP NOT PIG THIS ONE HAS MY RESPECT) RIDES A BIKE SIMILAR TO MINE AND TOLD ME WHERE TO SPEED , AND I DOUBT GETTING YOUR KNEE DOWN WOULD BE A PROBLEM FOR HIM. WHY DIDNT YOU DO A RUNNER ?
