What's the message they're sending?

They were pretty harsh on you.

A friend of mine got caught with a swappa bottle down Courtnay Place the other week. He got off with diversion.

Yeh I got diversion 10 years ago for parking on some grass in a carpark, that was the last time I broke the law apart from general traffic offences.

Oh no wait I did have liquor on me in a liquor ban area, outside the liquor shop down and then took it all the way to my house which I wasn't allowed to do because of the liquor ban. Stupid council, was even illegal to surf down mount without lifejacket at one stage.

Diversion for parking on grass? no reason why you couldn't have gotten it again either, sounds like you really managed to rub the judge the wrong way as well.

Sounds like paying $50 for a police report....WTF

You only get diversion once, pretty sure not absolute tho.
Didn't go to court just signed the paper so I didnt have to, figured they wouldn't fine me more tha a couple of hundy and a half day off work would cost me more anyhows.

I don't so much care about the $630 its the principal that I get stung more than someone else most likely because I'm a white NZ born Citizen how has a long track record of paying tax.

I was told by the cop at the accident i had that i have to pay the NZ police $50 to get the report of the crash i was in. That is Stealing! the NZ police is supposed to be a free service isnt it? why should we have to pay for things that our tax does.

Fucking pigs.

my point is the pigs are cunts and they should have a better psychological test before they join the force.

No emotionably unstable cunts who take their fustration out on the public by giving out as many expensive tickets as they possibly can just because they can even though we dont diserve it when murderers and fucking peadofiles get sent to jail for 10years. WTF

why should you have to pay $600+ for making a mistake when the mental fuck down the road with the shot gun gets a small fine.

And why should some one who grows a lil herb a smokes it and doesnt harm anyone else go to jail for years when there are creepy fucking weirdos hanging outside schools molesting/torturing and killing children that get the same time in jail when they should be publicly hung.

The system is fucked

[Juzz976]

Total agreement there, too many cops collecting revenue instead of catching real crims.
I think there are some good cops out the but the ones who r on the street, ie fresh import cops and their fresh outta academy partners are a disgrace.

I see they advertise for new cops but the people who would make good ones are not applying because they themselves had been let down by the justice system. They would not want to work with some hopped up loser who got bullied in school trying to take revenge on the world.

Its $55 for a copy of a crash report and only if requested by your insurance company.

If you request it, it is free.

There is so much BS in this thread, its not funny, full of half truths and complete lies.
A bunch of losers moaning about something they know so little about, almost like talk back radio.

And your basing all this on what. You really think the elderly white Judge went through his cases and decided to be really harsh on all the people he couldn't see but had 'white' sounding names?

You got stung because you broke the law, tried to hide said law breaking from the Police and then gave the cop attitude all of which resulted in something you and you alone could have easily prevented. After which you were to lazy to make a simple enquiry in which you would have discovered that you were eligible for diversion or at the least a discharge without conviction and not ended up paying a cent or at least a minimal fine/donation.

Unlucky Juzz... some reet anal porkers out there...

No its based on the fact that I made a mistake, yeh hiding the drink was dumb which I stated. But really everyone who break laws whether intentional or not try to hide from the cops.
I didnt give the cop attitude he was speaking in a manner that was hard to follow also a have a mild form of aspergers which make hearing what people are saying difficult and was trying to tell him this.
I politly said "I'm sorry I didn't quite catch that I've got trouble with hearing.'

I feel I've been discriminated against but try not to bring that into it. regardless his behaviour was inappropriate and it didn't stop on the side of the road.

Why should I waste my time on a bullshit charge trying to get off or save a few dollars, save the court time for people who need it or can't afford fines , fuck them its just shows now when it would come up how pathetic the system is in NZ.

So no attitude just bully cop and my fault for looking 18 when I'm actually 26.
I'm still ok with looking young as that suits me fine.

Back to the thread - I get charged more because?

I earn an alright salary - pakeha - young male - pay fair share of tax - because I choose not to waste court tim - because I'm not perfect - because I have kids to feed - ... the list goes on but I don't see any reason except I didnt have a car or a firearms....

Yes, have you not been to court before seeing white guys who work getting harsher penalties for 1 off misdemenor then have to watch some bro repeat offender get let off with fuck all.

I'm not racist at all but I've seen it happen, different standards thats all.

[red mermaid]

Thats cause the law, as written by parliament, says if a person does not have the ability to pay the fine then the Judge can not give them another fine.

Once again, the ill informed advising the uninformed...it has nothing to do with the police.
