Do we want more road cops or less?

[Swoop]

the UK's 'visible police presence' .......or unmarked patrol cars as they are more commonly known...

A bit of an oxymoron?

There is a joke told to me by my Aussie rellies

"(Insert state name here) eg NSW police, the best that money can buy"

Not much respect there.

Is it still a $50- note inside your driving licence holder now, or has it gone up a bit?
QLD cops eh...

A bit of an oxymoron?...

Yesh, exactly!

Though I've met a few cops that could be described as Poxymorons in my time too!!

District Road Policing Manager, Inspector Leo Tooman, said 38-year-old Te Kauwhata man, Paul Adam Timothy BROWN, lost his life when the Kawasaki road bike he was riding collided with a turning Highway Patrol car on Waerenga rd, east of Te Kauwhata.


I'm absolutely ... well lost for words.. how can the police report this!!


"About 4.15pm the officer and a civilian in the patrol car heading east encountered a utility vehicle heading towards them at a speed of about 154km/h."


Immediately after reffering to the traffic officers vehicle turning?! That means the gun from the rear window tagged the poor fellow first & the cop decided the best thing was to get BROADSIDE as the vehicle approached!!!


This at very least looks like manslaughter when the comments are written in this order. I like a safe society.. but quite a few of these Coppers are looking/behaving like Brownshirts..


Fcuk you police on the road: Your killers & you don't give a fcuk!

Well we need less of the useless pricks that we currently have.

Not a truer word spoken on this site.

What a great way to lower unemployment figures. Train em all as po-lice traffikers.
Teach em all how to do U-turns in front of a vehicle. Kills both drivers, lowers population, funeral directors get rich & quite soon there are so few cars on the road it is safe to speed again.
Vote for me next election.

No thanks, we already have enough wankers in Parliament.

I say bring back the MOT. Let the fuzz do real policing.

[schrodingers cat]

For sure more education and driver training blah blah. That wouldn't lead to any reduction in enforcement standards - quite the opposite. After all that expense you'd damn well better behave.

Its the targetting on the easy stuff that gets peoples goat - speeding, failure to give way etc. Its a pity they don't do a bit more about the plain lazy and inconsiderate driving you see every day which contributes to frustration and poor decision making. Trouble is, Joe Public would cry harassment.

There are a lot of haters on this site. There are good cops and bad cops like everything else in life. Those who are getting 'harrassed' need to take a look at themselves

Agree
