All charges dropped

[Usarka]

There are so many people speeding, why would anyone go to the trouble of making it up?

It's a good question innit?

What's the answer?

Why did Hilary climb everest?

[scumdog]

It must be a bugger living in a world of paranioa.

I'm sure some on KB actually THRIVE on it...

[ducatilover]

Why did Hilary climb everest?

To get to the top?

Why did Hilary climb everest?

To get away from his missus probably.

People who are going at 120kmh in a 100kmh zone on a good, long straight road in good conditions in a well maintained vehicle should not be penalized like the IDIOTS who insist on cruising at 80-90kmh, then speeding up in passing lanes so people can't overtake, then slowing down again. What about those idiots who can't keep in their own lane around corners? They are very rarely caught as it's much harder to bust people who do that than people who exceed speed limits.

I'm assuming by your post that you are one of those idiots.

U assuned wrong but it would certainly appear u are

If you don't want to look like such a muppet then I suggest you learn to fucking spell properly.

However, if the cop really lied and you definitely denied the charge at the time he deserves some form of punishment and you fighting back is as good as any.

It's my firm belief that one of the primary reasons for the absence of cameras in police vehicles is so they can keep lying with impunity.

I don't have time to battle these things and paid the fine.

For evil to triumph...

...obviously you have to pass the van and I had not observed such van which means I had dropped my scanning for hazards, that bothers me, I had been down to Ak from Whangarei do a lot of running round and then heading home, obviously I was tired and had dropped my defences. I paid the speed tax.

So you failed to notice a speed camera mounted within the confines of an innocuous people mover parked on the side of the road in a township and you somehow feel you must have lowered your standard of observation? It amounts to covert operation of the surveillance device - you simply cannot expect to always see them.

[Max Preload]

IThey are allowed to hid the vans now...

No, policy is they must be operated in an overt manner. However, this overt appears to have been interpreted as hidden inside a vehicle with the vehicle 'overt' (although I'm sure that if a Klingon cloaking device were to fall into their hands all bets would be off).

I think they should have cameras.
Was heading south down National Park a few weekends back with my mate in a '94 Calais and on the cruise control at 105, as always. A cop went by the other way, turned around eventually ('twas quite the delay) and had the hammer down, hard coming up behind us. It was a couple of minutes after him passing before he appeared in the rear view mirror and he had his boot right up it.

Just wanted to check the dusty Calais, all legal etc not a problem, doing sensible speeds and pulled over on a safe verge. He had a bad attitude to boot, I don't meet many like that.
I would love to know how fast he was going though, it was impressive.

Perhaps in some mis-guided attempt to improve the standard of driving in NZ, by any means, some of your brethren are particular to stretching the truth now and then?

I've been lied to by a cop. While listing the various infringements I had committed in the course of him tailing me for 20 minutes (there were a few) he decided to throw in a couple of made-up ones to emphasise just how dangerous I was being. I accepted the ones that were true and called bullshit on the ones that weren't, which he strangely went quiet on. I still wonder if they'd have ended up on the ticket if I'd kept my mouth shut....

I've been lied to by a motorist. Like every 2 hours or so.

For example, I stopped a bloke for using a cellphone. It was a silver flip phone, which I clearly saw as he drove past me. I was on a patrol bike, and had a primo view. When stopped the guy produced a Blackberry, adamant that I couldn't write the ticket due to me having seen something that didn't exist. Ranted and raved, then drove off. I went after him, and locked him up for having driven off. While in custody he was found to have 3 phones on him, including the silver flip phone I had seen. That one went all the way to court, here he lied his face off. The JP found him guilty after I told about having found the 3 phones.

Remember, humans tell porkies. Even those writing on KB.

Spooky, innit.

No way.
Just no.
