Demerit points hiked for unlicensed vehicles

[MrKiwi]

Not to mention the loss of freedom denoted by the introduction of plate recognition systems.


I may never wash my registration plate again.

What freedom, they have plate recognition technology now and we have a plate on the back of our bikes, am I missing something here?

[Pixie]

I do worry about the consequenses of anyone who might have an incident mid pack though, imagine a 30k bike not getting its insurance covered coz no plate was displayed at the time.......

Otherwise I am all for riding my own bike plateless in protest

Might be time to open a new thread to arrang a protest on this issue

Reverse the plate so the reflective side is to the plate holder

They've got police officers supposedly specifically trained in observation to investigate specific crimes.

Computerised full-depth harvesting of data is a breach of your privacy.

If you can't understand that then ask yourself what the natural expansion of use of the technology is. Use your imagination. When you start to feel uncomfortable then ask yourself at what point could you have defined where they steped over the line.

"they" have been "over the line" from day one.....we have been always just peasants that need to be controlled, and technology is just more advanced whip and shackles.

Pay your tithing dues or god/king will be angry!

Edit: (actualy i wish it was just tithe of 10% like back then...now its more like 50% dues, i guess greed does grow exponentialy...)

It has always been about the kings income, or rather the king making your income, his.

Tell them to stick it.

Unfortunately its no longer that simple, because "our" king also has to pay his dues to the big king in US of A, who then has to collect all the money from everywhere for the "people" that acutaly run this planet....

...just why they need more & more money is something i will never understand, i mean they already own everything anyway and there is only so much kaviar one person can eat....and so much coke one can snort off hookers ass...

[MrKiwi]

I think this thread has lost the plot a bit so I'll leave you to your thoughts...

Well, lucky THEIR problem isn't OUR problem ay?

I never agreed to pay any bitch anything.

Tell them to stick it.

I agree, its one thing to have discussion on the issue, another to insanely rant about kings and other irrelevant drivel

The issues, the focussed and only issues worthy protesting in these law changes (other than what we already know in regards the insane cost of rego/acc fee's which has been done to death) is demrits for non registrationor riding a bike on exemption, and surrendering plates while on hold

Thats it

Ranting about the kings and USofA tax collectors is so far off topic it is why the KB scene gets largely written off as moronic insane fringe dwelling psycho's

I asked Mr Kiwi to find out for us what AA's stance is likely to be, hoping in vain we might get an ally as many AA members place vehicles on hold too...(meaning the organisation not Mr Kiwi)
He tried to engage with us and gets a pile of insane drivel thrown back at him

So, later in the week once I have made some more solid plans in association with various groups, a new thread will be started to SERIOUSLY deal with a course of protest action.....

Can we at least keep that thread focussed once its up?

Good luck with that - unless you have a tame Mod on hand to cull all tin-hat posts...

If the plate belongs to the "authorities", then they can come around and wash it for you.

For a protest, I like the reversed plate idea as well.




The major drawback for the authorities, is the gradual acceptance of regularly taking your numberplate off of a vehicle and putting it back on again, becomes acceptable to the population.
More people will start to think "I'll just change this plate over here...".
Another backfiring plan for "the powers that be"?

hahahah.. you silly man...

But on that note...

what you cooking for tea on the 7th of may?

Repost of figures from the Reg on hold thread.

It's not like they need the money FFS

The New Zealand Superannuation Fund reported gains on its investment nearly $2.3 billion above forecast. ACC and the EQC also experienced gains on their investments of $788 million due to strong equity markets.

Also, ACC and GSF experienced favourable changes in claims and the discount rate to calculate the present value of the future expected payments.

Those two factors resulted in a gain for ACC of more than $1 billion, $1.9 billion higher than a forecast loss of $853 million, and a gain for GST of $288 million, $144 million higher than expected.

Are you trying to tell me the government tells porkies now and again?

Think about it, they have to pay for those BMW's and other luxury perks someway, govt ministers can't be expected to mix with riffraff when they travel... that would not be fair

[riffer]

Careful with the not washing the plate thing though... chances are TPTB will introduce laws making it a demerit-inducing offence to have the numbers on the plate obscured FOR ANY REASON.

It is already an offence and a trick well known to the police to have an obscured plate, but funny now they don't seem to hassle those cars (usually 4wd) with a rack of bicycles obscuring their plates or those trucks with all the black 'washed off' their plates.
