Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

It goes way beyond the puppets we call the 'police' when it comes to road safety (if that is the correct term) and way beyond their fines. I actually feel sorry for the police; they are (as previously mentioned) puppets in the grand 'revenue collection" plan.I reckon those who carry on about ticket quotas being a fact, bring it upon themselves. Unless your doing shyte that you shouldnt be, then the NZ Police would just asquickly look at ya, go on by and then go on with what they was doing. The ones that are cause for concern will allways be the ones that they have to look at for longer, until they have a reason to pull them over. Ive "apparently" now got a vehicle thats classed as a boy ricer type vehicle and warrents a bit more attention now. On the drive to Palmy North from New Plymouth and back I must have had about 20 intances where I was being watched by big brother. Sure at times I was going slightly over the limit, I think the fastest I was going would have been 120 on the whole trip, passing a truckie with trailer, that was doing about 110. Not bad considering the truck and trailer should be doing 90 to let ever other bugger get by and in a timely manner. The really funny parts of the trip was when I came flying up behind a truck that was going past the Polce weigh bridge just by the airforce base. He had slowed down that quickly that the Police would have seen, if watching, all the traffic slow down quickly behind it. Then there was the blue falcooooon I was driving behind, that I had allready noticed it was undercover and Donna had disconnected the radar detector. Some twat in a truck which must have been on purpose, as he would have know it was there.It pulled out from a farm as we came up behind the truck and there was not enough room on the side of the road for him to get onto the verge. The falcoon nailed it, so I followed and we zapped past the truck doing the said 120ish. As I pulled in behind the falcooon I noticed the green camera van and Im guessing the coooooon did too, lol. They slowed down and everytime I came up behind the falcon again (I would slow down and give them a couple of hundred meter gap and get going again. Everytime I came back up behind them, (usually in a corner that I had gone around much faster than the AA road sign said) they would regularly tap their brake lights. In fact it was that uniform that it must have been a setting on the car. So this went on for about 50ish km and sure enough, they eventually turned off. Not once on my trip did I get stopped, even though I could have been at any given time. Quota system, yeah right! Sounds like a tui advert and the last time I looked at the NZ Police, they was busy doing their job and probably didnt even notice me.
Roger Cap-e-tan! Theres an 1810 with 3510 with 7510 happening here!!! It just ooks like alot of 1J and 1N to me!!!!

Why the fuck would you feel sorry for them?
.....your time is coming
Because some of us are understanding....
Enjoys doing what he does
Mmmm, so in the case of my second encounter with the establishment, a so called 63 in a 50k (total bollocks I profess) said cop hadn't reached his quota for the day /week/month or whatever so 'targeted a streach of road (dead straight, no hazards, excellent visability, very wide etc) and starts pinging people who aren't speeding! nicking at least 4 for the exact same speed!!!
Sorry cant feel sorry for them. Just think what might have been achieved if he had 'targeted' the side streets or commercial sector he might have just observed some real crime..........dont mind me, still feeling bitter about it all.

I see what you are hinting at...
Curious at what the other tickets issued were at that day...
All for 63 = Problem....
But, if they were 72, 63, 98, 67, 63, 112, 65, 63.... yep, there were three for 63....But I could be wrong....

This doesn't prove anything.. it might have been CIB going for a coffee at his aunties house..?!
There's no denying that the focus of the local police is skewed.. normal policing is poorly managed and road management ( lol at this term.. i should say road policing) is all about revenue gathering.

Nah, I'm staunch enough thanks all the same!
Oh, and I don't worry about what the public think as much as you do what the police think/do.

That's a rather mono view of the situation IL4. A mate of mine is the biggest nana you can imagine, has 3 Duke's, one is an SR4 with all the bells n whistles that is 140BHP+. Get's along quick if it wants to but he rides around at the speed limit on the main roads & barely gets any pace up on the back roads. We all laughed when he got pinged recently as he is the most unlikely chap to ever get a speeding ticket. He sped up to pass a car & got pinged in the middle of it, was a safe place & was barely touching 120km/h.
I understand what you are saying & agree with it up to a point but before the last labour gubbermint got in police were able to use descretion. That seems to be all but eroded now.
ps: ever see the leaked emails floating around a while back about quota's?
I'm with you on that, they are just doing their job
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

True, my bad. Sentimental moment, it won't happen again.

Read in the DomPost recently that the reason the Waiararapa police coun't respond adequately to suspected child abuse cases was that they were "chronically under resourced". Yet there seem to be plenty of resources available for road policing.
Only a cynic would say thats because there is more revenue to be made in road policing, whereas investigating child abuse is a cost all the way, no money to be made there.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.
