OOoooh...I'm scared of THIS guy!

Gets hassled, - baits the cops - gets hassled - moans about cops.

He'll go far - on KB!!

Well, if I'd been treated the way he was, I'd be doing a bit more than moan on KB.

Formal complaints the Police Whitewash Authority to start with.

Let's see. Threatening behaviour. Obscene language (by the cops) . Wrongful detention. Illegal search. Just for starters. Reckon one could probably fit an attempt to pervert the course of justice in there somewhere. Not to mention the "if I see you again I'll arrest you" threat. No law allows arrest on sight without a warrant.

The police do themselves NO favours with such totalitarian behaviour.

These days I would, definately.

I think the issue was I got thrown into the same boat as everyone else being idiots at the party. Like "boy racers", anyone with a loud car gets thrown into the same boat as idiots who kill people

In your mind, the cops are ALWAYS right. You can conjure what you think is justification for ANY inappropriate behaviour by a police officer. I bet you could sit in the police complaints office all day and pump out excuses that you actually believe exonerate officers involved. Just wondering... do you ever stop and think that perhaps you've let yourself subscribe to a collective mentailty which is unbecoming of someone who joined the police force to serve and protect? Or did you join because you actually want to be a power tripping bully?

Is Scumdog a cop?

Is Scumdog a cop?

Is the pope a catholic?

No, that's only YOUR opinion of what I think, I have never thought the cops were ALWAYS right and I don't subscribe to 'collective mentality', of course you could try asking people that actually know me and have met me for a true indication of what I'm like.





Oh, f.y.i., I set out to be a power tripping bully but KB opinions caused me to decide to serve and protect instead..

[Kickaha]

That he is and all round top bloke as well

[Grahameeboy]

I think we have to take some of these bad cop stories with a pinch of salt...generally those who have a bad story may have contributed in some way, put themselves in a position..had a bad attitude anyway.

Not sure why cops off duty drinking and driving is such a moral issue....it's wrong but it's because they are just like us and prone to fraility...

[SixPackBack]

That's the whole point, YOU posted said "the coppers have a questionable system of bonding involving alcohol and feel that once of (off?) duty are free to break the law in any way they feel fit".

Ya can't break the law if you're not caught....

Of course at the end of the day about the suggested 'catch phrase'?

Not me.

Uhhu......no surprises, the coppers live that shit.
The question is how do they get caught given the resources at their disposal?
Either:

• The law of averages dictates the collective offending rate amongst the police is no different to the general public. [And thus severely weakening their mandate to apply the law]
• Or the collective intelligence is so fucken low, many end up being caught, despite knowing where the random stops, marauding land sharks are etc.

Didn't like my last catch phrase scumdog? How about:
"Hypocrisy-distinguishing the coppers from the public since ages ago"

Things are warming up and here's me thinking a cool and blustery Sunday morning would be boring.

Formal complaints are generally a waste of paper. The last time I checked the success rate for complainants was about 3%. You can't tell me that 97% of the complaints made were false, although I don't doubt that some might have been. The PCA is a white washing machine that the cops can be proud of when it comes to covering their arses when they screw up, which is more often than they would have you believe.

Should you take a cop to task, whatever you say (on kb or in court) will be discredited and twisted around to make it sound as if YOU are the one at fault no matter what the situation. The cops are good at that and they also often lie to achieve their desired result.

You're right when you say the cops do themselves no favours with their approach but don't try and tell them that, you'd be wasting your time/breath. They consider themselves to be 'top dog' with all manner of support, deep pockets for legal defence and woe betide you should you get in their way.

Just avoid the fuckwits.

I'm starting to think you MIGHT be an alright person. You definately come across as an officer who initially gives unconditionally support to the force regardless of the circumstances, but in most cases you eventually offer a fairer view, probably as a result of absorbing some of the civilian opinion offered in KB. Perhaps all officers should spend some time debating on public forum.

You think?........call them out on a police fuck up and they will defend the coppers and make all sorts of piss weak excuses-push them further and you may get a begrudging admittance.

Honest discussion is also stifled from the top brass. KB coppers have left this site leaving no trace of themselves, others have gone strangely quiet. Scumdog is about the only one left! Honest discourse is a risky business for any officer.

Police have also visited other members on KB, complaining to their employer about on-site comments. This practice whether justified or not is strictly one way, the police will resist all attempts to investigate their own incompetent members.

Peasea is right. Avoid the buggers. The bad ones will make your life miserable regardless of your innocence.

"Hypocrisy-distinguishing the coppers from the public since ages ago"

The inherent contradiction in your entire argument is that surely you would never ever hear about any cop drink driving, let alone being prosecuted by his/her colleagues if that hypocrisy existed to the extent you suggest.

Extent is not qualified?

Original comment was based on patrick's [a copper!] assertion that he knows quite a few coppers that have been busted for drink/driving. Additionally my wife works with the police-I know what the fuckers get up to allright!
