Motorcyclists are responsible law abiding members of the community, and therefore unreservedly support the police in their efforts to keep us all safe.

Report back now.

Wasn't John Smith the Admin of the Group in Babey8's first posting, that has now disappeared?

This could be a case for Mulder and Scully

if you have hothing to hide who cares.
if you are drugged up then you should not be on the road end of story.

I think many of the police are interested in road safety and will be glad for the impairment testing, as it does very well lead to unsafe driving.

The cops know already who smokes weed and who doesnt in a community!!! And you dont see them running around trying to bust everyone? If the local cop knows Joe Q is a heavy as stoner, has a clean license and always does 50km/hr and waves with a clear capable expression on his face, has a nice wife and kids with a good job, I mean, what would a good cop do?

A bad cop could not like your long hair or dirty car, the way you talk or your attitude, and take to you unfairly. Already this is becoming less common with NZ Police, I believe.

Globally, loss of privacy and many human rights are still being eroded, under the guise of combating terrorism. In many countries the cops look like Nazi's with long knee boots and those Gestapo type police hats. We are at least lucky in NZ to have a lowish profile policing policy, and fairly good cops by world standards.

There aren't any "good" cops. They all wait until you do something wrong and they process you for it. If they got laid this morning they might not. If they didn't, you're fucked. Simple.

They are all about supporting their own industry, and they will always be focussed on ways to make it bigger and better, just like any other industry.

I don't see any reason for this to concern us except for the fact this Act not only deals with motor vehicles, it covers cyclists and pedestrians aswell.

Just dont get caught walking across the road when your high.
