    I think them pulling off a pursuit is the biggest killer from the police gang, every-time they do that 30 seconds later the pursued crashes

    If they kill themselves after the pursuit stopped ... is it still the COP'S fault ... ???

    The odd's seem to be ... if you try to do a runner ... you will die. (A win for the gene pool at the very least)

    You're doing it wrong.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    would a fine have worked? agreed the driver was being inconsiderate ....a lecture and pointing out to him he was causing other stress and was a danger? ...

    It must be. You seldom hear of anyone being killed during a pursuit, its always just after the pursuit was called off. The obvious solution is to never call of the pursuit. The cops will enjoy it more, the pursued can have fun for longer, and it is much safer for all.

    Here's why so few people get tickets for going too slow.

    I was going north in my neenar at about 4.30 today. Neenar? It's blue and yellow, with red/blue lights on the roof. Nuff said.

    I radared a car travelling south on SH1 out of Waikuku at 70 km/h. He was coming out of the Waikuku 80 kmh area. Behind him were 11 vehicles, the drivers of 3 of them waved frantically for me to do something about the dude holding them all up.

    I whipped around behind the last of the 11, then used the blues n twos to force each of the 11 aside while I went after the car still travelling at 70 kmh, now in a 100 zone.

    After creating mayhem to get to him, he eventually stopped, and I got a big mouthful about how I had driven dangerously to catch and stop him, and that I should go catch some burglars or rapists. Yes, pretty much all the shite that I get most days.

    After he drove off, $150 poorer, I pondered why I bother, given the criticism I get for doing it, added to the criticism I get for not doing it.

    So, should we do it or not?

    Harumph.

    Funny. If all the laws were enforced, we would be snowed down with paperwork by morning tea.

    You mean you want me to write a ticket for everyone who breaks the law? Not humanly possible, sorry, it can't be done.

    Last time I was called Bubba was.................nope never been called that before.

    I'm all for law enformencement but does it have to be about fines so much?

    How about highlighting demerit points and risk of losing a licence?

    It is, however, electronically possible. That's the scary part. If it ever comes to that the cost will be the downfall of our society.

    Not gonna happen for quiet awhile!
    I used to look after the NZ Police/Fire/Ambo and most of the BIG Govn't data links/comms etc.
    So trust me when I say.....the capability just isn't there!(Not even close!!).....And its the Cost required to set up the electronic monitoring that would be the downfall of our society

    That'll cheer evil Scuba Steve up a bit. Not much, but enough to stop him reaching for the anti ulcer pills a bit. Or is it the anti psycotics?

    pfft anti psychotics , why would I want to take them??? Last time I tried one the people in my head stopped talking to me for a couple days, not doing that again!

    oh any I think he's wrong on the capability front, Think the only reason we won't see it in a while is they have to "justify" it otherwise it's a political suicide.
