Speeding tickets. Why the angst?

[scumdog]

Well see there ya go, separate the PIGs from the cops again, bring respect back to the cops .

Get real - can't unmake the omelet.....well not readily and no Government is going to try it.

Yep, I've had my share of hard-bastard cops - but mainly MOT cops, that was when I was younger. (Police almost ignore cars and driving stuff, left it to the MOT back then.)

So everybody 'hated' MOT guys, everybody loved police, why? because day-to-day you were more likely to have interaction with the MOT guys. (There was a number of times back then I thought: "Oh, police, whew lucky it wan't a traffic cop")

But now they're all wearing the same 'colours' and you think "are they traffic, are they police" ....

And on KB it seems you have a run in with one or two cops (over what you consider is trivial ) and all cops get tarred with the same brush: Bastards.

I wonder if cops are allowed to think the same looking from the other direction?

i.e. They pull over a car, the driver (and passengers at times - hey, THEY ain't going to get the ticket, are they?) gives the cop non-stop verbal flak and abuse and denial while sitting in a p.o.s. car and arguing there's nothing wrong with it.

So they and cop part company - does the cop then think: "Those bastard gum-diggers in their Jowett Javelins are all right arseholes, never going to speak to them again and they better not even THINK I'm going to help them".

I greatly doubt it.

But we all know this eh......

Just because Popos have to deal with bastards doesn't justify them behaving like bastards. The bastard cops exist in today's force too, not just in the old MOT days.

Yeah, its the traffic cops who have brought the Popos into disrepute.

Just ask Louise Nicholas. And Scott Watson. And David Bain. And Arthur Thomas. And Brent Garner (actually Google him remember that plonker?), and David Doherty. Ask all those folk why their respect for the cops has fallen. Ask them, and also ask Peter Williams QC. After you get answers from them, see Ross Meurant and ask him about the Springbok Tour.

Just out of the paper

Police have paid out more than $2.4 million in compensation to members of the public and former officers.

The public have received money for human rights breaches such as wrongful arrest, false imprisonment, or unlawful search and seizure.

Yeah, its all about tickets and revenue collecting.

Yeah right.

I bet it's not for the tickets they have had.

Easy, easy, ya gotta remember for most ranters on here only ever come into contact with traffic guys.

Burglars, rapists and paedophiles probably have a different take on this...

Oh, forgot to mention that cop that streaks naked around the Riviera of The South.............

I never suggested the 'Popos' (maybe I should be childish and call all non-police 'scrotes' in return) are justified in behaving like bastards - not did I say all MOT were bastards either.

But seeing as you've mentioned it here's fact: - it's never going to change much in YOUR lifetime unless you have a cunning plan to screen recruits/weed out the ones you complain about - and I doubt you've a cunning plan - Suck it up and bear it is the best advice I can give you, it's all part of life.

It doesn't have to be I grant you but as they say on the Sopranos: "Hey, whadaya goin' ta do eh?"

Fuckin' mud-bloods

[rastuscat]

Yeah, but e said it wif an accent, so e'll get billy nuff nuff if I catch up wif 'im.

Don't they already? Everyone's a crook?? Dish out what would be labelled as "attitude" if they were on the receiving end?

When all you've got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Ah bleedy 'ell coppa!

[rastuscat]

Ah bleedy 'ell coppa!

Ullo ullo, wot's goin on ere then?

Used to dream about collaring a crook and having him say 'Fair cop guv, you got me bang to rights'. I'm sure I saw that in a comic back in my distant childhood (still living it, actually).

I think you should all speak with such an accent! It would make run ins with the blue clad boys more interesting.

Identify yourself to me when I next lock you up and I'll say 'Ere, you're nicked'.

Oh for the good old days.
