Just in case you didn't think you were a second class citizen...

[Fatt Max]

A cop stops a car on the Coro loop. The cop says to the driver;

"Random check sir, well you please blow into this bag"

to which the driver replies;

"Why's that bro' are your chips hot?"

---------------------------------------------------

Cop sees a car just outside Corromandel Town weaving all over the road. He pulls the car over and the driver falls out of the car in a drunken heap. The cop breathalises him and is shocked to see that he is 8 times over the limitr;

"Good God sir", says the cop, "Do you realise you are eiight times over the legal alchohol limit....!!!"

"Thank fuck for that oss-eef-er", says the driver, "I thought the steering was fucked"

----------------------------------------------------

A good debate this one gys n gals, keep it up

But in a Democracy (which we like to think we're in) the people own the government bringing the road ownership back to us [the people] after all we're paying a fuck load for it.

It doesn't matter where the ownership lies, the result is still the same.

& why do you not mind the WOF & Licence's check? Like I've mentioned this is pushing the right to be free from unreasonable search, as they are pulling you over to Search for a reason to charge you... Would you be so happy if they just came into your home to [again] Search for a reason to charge you whenever they felt like it???

So let me get this right, are you also against RBT, because the police are pulling everyone over looking for the few drunk drivers at the expense of all the sober drivers?

And as far as them entering my home? Come on, lets be somewhat sensible about this. Your house is your private property, the police need good reason to enter and search. On the roads however, this ain't your private property any longer, you are using roads managed and policed by the government, and part of the agreement in using the roads is that they are used in a safe manner for all road users and members of the public, that your vehicle is of a certain standard, and that you have the right license to us the roads. None of this applies to your house.

[MSTRS:Me]

Wof/rego/licence check stop = fair enough.
Stop for a 'chat' because I was doing something wrong = fair enough.
Stop to lecture on safe riding = fuck off.

I've not had a MVA since 1974. I rather think I know what I'm doing = goodbye.

[caseye]

You can be stopped anywhere anytime you are driving/riding a vehicle on a road

I think that is clear enough.

If I'm wrong?
Show me where?

Then I'll stop doing it.

Truely a Scummy Dog you are! nice one stu. I've neverr agreed with making it possible to random stop anyone, anywhere, anytime, that doesn't make it unlawful, just something I don't agree with.
if I'm pulled over these days I take the lumps and ride on, however if some snot nosed jumped up little pratt with an Adolf Mo started lecturing me about safety, he be asked for his service number, his station and his immediate superiors name and contact details.
I won't suffer more harraement than I am legally obligued to.
Course having said that I'd better not have been doing something silly aye.

Ya know, I've given out probably thousands of these bottles of water and no one has ever suggested this.

I'm worried because we are obviously missing the target audience of dickheads.

What problem?
Motorcyclists using the public carriageway?

If someone stops me and offers me some bottled water,I will advise them on how to give themselves an enema with it.

You've posted straight after me, was it my post prompted yours?
You got an Adolf?

[red mermaid]

Yeah, but if you ask nicely we will give you a coffee, or even a bottle of water.

Awesome!!!! Well done. Finally someone gets it.
I'm in the heavy transport industry and have been for some 30 years. If you want to see targeted vehicles then i suggest you come and work in my industry. There is these things called Weigh Stations all along the State Highways that frequently haul us in repetitively for no other reason than to check you are obeying rules. It happens in the middle of nowhere too. You can get pulled over by a patrol car, just so he can check your logbook, manifest and any other paperwork you may have to carry with you.
We don't see this as an imposition as such but more as just part of the job.
If you have any idea about trucks you will know they are not that quick at getting back up to speed, unlike a motorbike.
I could go on and on about this but find it would fall on deaf ears in most cases,as there are some riders that feel they are above and beyond all other road users and therefore should not be stopped at any time.
It would appear at times that they feel they are the only ones that deserve to be on the road at any time and that no one else has any targeting issues.

Phew! That will do for now i think...

[red mermaid]

Only in the good old days.

So after all the bollocks we've established they're doing something they've legally been allowed to do since 1962, and while some people are up in arms about being "lectured", they're pretty much doing so because they want to keep people safe.

Wow. that was interesting wasn't it? Can we start talking about REAL rights infringements now?

Yeah but this is the interweb where people can be brave with what they say...

Back in the olden days I trained as a nurse. I managed to literally scare the shit out of a young fella that had roaming hands, when I had to give him a hurry up in the poohs department. Anytime you need to know, feel free to ask

[Max Preload]

Tell ya what, DON'T stop and find out what the section is if you want...

That's odd. I've never managed to find out even after my many 'failing to stops'. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. After 'failing to stop' do you then have to stop and wait for them to catch up so they can tell you or can you just go to the local Station and ask after explaining why you've qualified to find out?

[riffer]

Hi again, I've just got off the phone with the people in the know.

Whilst BRONZ may not support targetting of motorcyclists for revenue gathering, unfortunately look at the Coro Loops record. I must say this group has brought it upon all motorcyclists.

And one more thing... This cannot possibly be MSL funded as NOT ONE CENT has yet been allocated to be spent and likely WILL NOT untill well into 2011.

And furthermore, this has nothing at all to do with ACC. This is purely Police enforcement. It is constitutional in New Zealand that if you are in a public place you do not have the right to stop people taking a photo of you, eg Speed cameras and CCTVs in city centres. Like it or not, this is the way it is.
