Traffic is not always police you may have noticed.

I thought the whole idea of amalgamating was to be more efficient and to have the flexibility to respond to the right priorities

I absolutely agree and get your point. It is the same if not worse here in Qld where the new breed of traffic Police are "Mindless automotons" that can only adhere to the letter of ther law, are unable to use discression and lack any common sense!

But I still blame "us"

I was told of a case where the Cop reduced the recorded speed to compensate for good conditions at the time of the offence, only to have the speeder write in and complain that the cop lied about the speed so the whole thing should get thrown out....

or what about if a cop does not do exactly what is prescribed in the "book", and then has to defend his decision to his superiors??

If a cop let you off speeding and then later that day you crash....there are some cwho would try and sue the police for not preventing the crash!

I hate it as much as the next guy when I get treated like a number....makes little difference wether it is "The Banks" or "The Police" or even my local retailer...but we basically allowed the situation to develop.

Learn a lesson from it and stand up when you can..while you still can.

Once we are under Sharia law, there will be NO JUSTICE for anybody!

You believed a politician??

It was "I'll show you a cunning way to instantly make more police but still have the same number of traffic cops too"

I'm just saying "you're wrong" - because I know you are
I could try to explain it all to you but you came on all knowing and rubbishing me - so you obviously don't want to know, and wouldn't believe me either
After all I'm a speeding criminal who should just shut up and fuck off - so a couple of you flat earth believers think

Your wrong

Put up the legislation or shut up. But you won't, because you can't, because it doesn't exist. So you claim to know and can't prove it. You know what that's called - being deluded.

Keep digging that hole, fool.

I think they should spend more time actually making a difference, for instance;
"The Authority is very concerned about the impact on children from past delays in completing investigations."
The Independent Police Conduct Authority is investigating delays in the Police responses to a potentially significant number of child abuse cases in the Wairarapa.
The Police in 2008 also conducted a review which found widespread failings including poor case management and workload management, poor supervision, and a lack of accountability and responsibility.

An Auckland bar which was burgled three weeks ago was targeted again early yesterday - further frustrating the owner who believes it might not have happened if police had followed up leads about the first break-in
The thief was captured on video camera and the images - with a possible name and address for the man - were passed to police that same day, with a tip that he was selling the stolen liquor from his home.
Despite that information, the suspect was never visited. Bar owner Nick Brooks was later told by police that was because the file was never even assigned to a detective as it wasn't "the only burglary" in Auckland.

Christchurch police have apologised for the delay in responding to a call about an intruder in a six-year-old girl's bedroom last Friday.
Sharleen Fenton, of Papanui, said she fled to a neighbour's house and called 111 after her daughter saw the intruder in her room at 9.30pm.
Fenton said she was told "it could take a while", and a police unit did not arrive until an hour later.

It took police more than an hour to get a patrol car to an Auckland home where two distressed and partially dressed teenagers ran screaming for help at 6am yesterday. But in an apparent blunder reminiscent of the Iraena Asher case, they took an hour to get there and had received four further phone calls before then. The teens ended up calling a taxi and left before police arrived. "It's one of these houses of hell. It has a long history," a Neighbourhood Support member said. "The residents in that part of the street are terrified."

about 5 years ago my farther rang the police 5 times asking them to turn up, the neighbour was beating his wife, again. They didn't turn up for 2.5 hours - by the time they did, he had killed her

But it's a good job they caught me before I killed somebody doing my 84 in a 70 zone 200 meters from the open road sign

I think you were being just a really considerate guy - hey, the poor cop probably was behind on his quota and you wanted to help him out, make his day and all that.

Such kindness and thoughtfulness Smoky. You're a peach!
