Court - What to expect

[Grahameeboy]

A strap-on????

You need one then.............

I think this case is a long shot, but may I present the following information for your consideration:

Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004, Section 1.8

A person is not in breach of this rule if that person proves that—
(a) the act or omission complained of took place in response to a situation on a road; and
(b) the situation was not of the person's own making; and
(c) the act or omission was taken—
(i) to avoid the death or injury of a person; or
(ii) if the act or omission did not create a risk of death or injury or greater damage to any property, to avoid damage to any property.

What is this rule?

[p.dath]

The Land Transport Rule is the one that governs most of the road rules.

Forget me I am getting confused

Is that a special rate for JP Court?

Cos mostly it's $130 in costs.

Minor traffic court with Jp's are only $30 costs, regular court with a judge is $130

Up his medication while you're at it

Okay there are about 11,000 cops in NZ...you have only met a smingin of the Police force.....that's reality

Reality in your world is a tenuous existence, based on illusion and assumption.

Contrary to what you and the other on-site overtly optimistic copper lovers 'think' I try and provide a realistic angle based on my own experience and those around me [this includes a wife who is basically a desk bound enforcer]. Data extrapolation and research has led me to the conclusion that minor traffic infringements are tax, and that police culture in NZ is often very sick [This document strongly supports the 'sick culture theory' http://www.cipc.govt.nz/cipc.nsf/Fil...e/CIPCVol1.pdf ]

And for the purpose of this thread, informing the original thread starter what he is up against, namely the following [re-posted]:

The JP's could not give a flying fuck about you or your ticket.
The coppers have ticketing targets to meet-you're easy meat.
Hiring a lawyer [The only hope of getting of the ticket] will cost more than the fine.
Lawyers are motivated by money, it may be in their best interest to string you out. Your guilt or innocence is of no consequence to them.
Minor traffic offences are tax-plain and simple.
Coppers will lie to get a conviction.
The court system may change appearance date/s without informing you. This will result in a guilty finding.
The copper may not turn up. This can happen multiple times with no visible impact on said dodgy copper. It can waste days of your time.
Conversely if you cannot turn up a guilty result will be recorded.

Peeping and peering again eh?

WOW! What happened to my thread? :-)

[klingon]

WOW! What happened to my thread? :-)

The same things that seem to happen to every thread where "police" or "courts" are mentioned. It all gets pretty boring and repetitive actually.

You might like to start a new thread entitled "Why didn't you wave at me?" They tend to get interesting fairly quickly too.

Or even better - "How about we have a special KB wave?"
