TV show - 110+ in a 60, or not. Road cops...

**cowboyz** · 31st August 2010, 13:22

ok.. to start with the guys a muppet. get that out of the way to start with...

but the cop certainly didnt do anything for police relations. Claims to have caught the guy doing 112 in a 60 and then when asked to prove it hes like.. nah.. dont have to.. if you want to contest it take it to court and we will see who the judge believes. How fucking arrogant is that?

Insult to injuryt he guy gets charged with excessive acceleration not speeding which makes me think the cop was making up shit to see if he could make it stick.

I wonder how many have been 'upgraded' to the next ticket bracket cause the cop doesnt like you, or worse.. the look of you? Surely, if they are going to be professionals in their work they should go by fact!

I just watched the guy being pulled over in slow motion and the radar is flicking high 50s low 60s... certainly no lock on.

yet another crock of shit media beat up spindoctoring that makes me think less and less of the police

We all have bad days at work and sometimes take it out on others... No doubt the job of the Police is pretty stressful, having to fill quotas to prove how much of a super cop you are... but you're right. It doesn't justify fucking people over just because you can...

there are some professions where not doing your job properly because your having a bad day doesnt matter. There are some professions where your repuation for doing your job is just as important as you doing the job.
If the guys not suited to beign a cop, then mcdonalds is hiring.

Oh I agree, don't get me wrong, I do love defending the cops when they deserve it (they are generally alright

), but like you say, if they aren't cut out for such a high profile job, they really should be sitting at a desk or working somewhere else that could make use of his verbal dexterity and irreverance for the law... politics perhaps

... such interpersonal skills would be wasted at macas

**breakaway** · 31st August 2010, 14:42

I've always had a problem with how cops can simply say you were doing something, and his word is taken as fact and you are treated like a criminial right off the bat.

Oh well, just lie low and don't stick out I guess.

**javawocky** · 31st August 2010, 14:50

Yeah if I break the law and am caught I pay the fine or what every. No problem with that.

But I wouldn't stomach some come cops opinion about how fast he though I was going, specially on a bike like mine which revs lots and might sound like its going faster than it is.

The Indian dude was being a prick anyway.

Although I think the "excessive acceleration" is bullshit.

yes he was! a complete knob. no argument there... but fortunately thats not illegal!

And we need police who can act professionally.. or at least not screen what fucking wankers they really are on primetime tv.

And yes.. there are exceptions to the rule.. but overall.. they are egotiscail pieces of shit.

Thanks for that.
I now know how to behave next time I see you holding hands with a brolly dolly at a track day.

112 in a 60 zone is fuck all, he was just cruising.

**cowboyz** · 1st September 2010, 03:29

the point is.. maybe he wasnt!

he lost his licence and his car because he was a muppet. not illegal! yes he was probably speeding but with no proof and the screen on the video showing 70ish... ummmm. not good enough to take car and licence in my book

I don't think the cop will come out of this too well either.

It would appear that some retriainng may be required
