Unbelieveable cop negligence

[Quasievil]

We just received a phone call from a cop who gave me the outcome of a situation we were involved in on tuesday.
I was travelling with my colleuges back from Auckland to Hammy after my flight back into NZ, we were behind a hyundia Stellar which wouldnt keep a constant speed 100km/h then 60km/h we went to pass he would speed up, we came up to Ohinewhai 4 lanes and went to pass, he saw this and swerved in front of us causing us to nearly hit the Armco, we stayed behind and dialled *555 , while giving directions to the cops the "offender"went out into oncoming traffic and narrowly missed a head on.
The cops pulled him over in Huntly which was great, they uncovered he was on "spray" and was off his face, he was also an illegal driver ie no licence.
we gave our account and left the scene while the driver was processed.
the cop rang today and said that he came right after 5 mins, he was on his way to Wellington,so he booked him for careless driving and sent him on his way!!!!!!
Now I find that completely inexcusable, he was obviously a danger to everyone on the road he had no licence.
No poetic licence was used this is exactly how it happened and exactly what the cop said, so Craig from Huntly police stn SHAME ON YOU MATE!!!!!!!!

I feel so much safer on the roads now :sneaky2: I wonder how eager they would be to admit any fault if after they let the driver go, he had a head on and killed someone?!!

This is ofcourse assuming he did have no licence (maybe after you left they found he did have a licence? Still...) And, what is "Spray"?

Isn't your car meant to be impounded if you have no licence?

idiots whats the bet he would be taking all the corners wide cause he couldn't judge them and bang there goes a head on or even worse another dead brutha. Now with the cops giving so many tickets to try and make the road SAFER what the hell does letting someone like that go do for road safety

Spray is aerosol and gets you high, if he had killed someone I would be talking to the media, Im quite pissed about it

Un fuckin real.... another moron to look out for!.. now if he had a sustained loss of traction he wouldnt have a car...

Why does that NOT suprise me?

I have the up most respect for cops, but just some of them piss me off!

Like the guy that tried to press charges against me cause I was defending myself cause he was choking me. When I said to him that I couldn’t breathe, he told me I was still talking to I must be able too.

It's not my bloody fault that I broke 6 of his fingers, spilt his nose open and dislocated his shoulder cause he wouldn't let go.

Apparently I apologized to him too :spudwhat:

Just curious did you say anything to the cop when he rang you today regarding what the guy was charged on?

aaaah and suddenly you take me back to memories to good old Johannesburg, was hijacked, 6 witnesses saw that I was held at gun point - police claim its my word against his.... huh!!!!!

Yeah NC, I have the utmost respect for the police, the things they deal with on a daily basis is something I would not want to see in my entire life - but like anything else, there are those few little rotten eggs...

Imagine using that a defence for drinking??

I guess the problem is an effective roadside test for those types of drugs. Until the cop has that he/she is leaving themselves wide open (I suppose).

Knowing someone is high as a kite is one thing, proving it in a court case 6 weeks later is another thing altogether unless you have evidence. The guy sobered up pretty quickly so I guess that means driving him to a doctor or a police station would not work either.

It's a shit but apparently the police are not allowed to arrest people they think are idiots. You have to wait until they cross the line and you can prove it. Maybe a video camera would work?

Far out

I know it's hard for the police to catch the real offenders sometimes, but what about that guy! There's one!

[marty]

maybe you should make a formal complaint - you could do it in the time it took to write this post. There is nothing to be gained from bitching on here about it.

What really pisses me off is that now the police is targeting speed and putting all their resorces into that, they piss around with everything else. We had the worst neighbours in the world, the ones that would make white trash look like royalty, and they were constantly harrasing us. We constantly asked for the police to stop these dickheads but they did nothing.

However, the police did come round at 3:00 am to our place when they got a complaint from our neighbours that we had our porchlight on, and it was disrupting their sleep
