Unique Registration Number no longer required

Police have set a great precedent here, sharing the same registration number, and one if my guess is correct does not even exist.

Wow. How unusual...

**ducatilover** · 23rd January 2012, 16:01

I don't understand.
People are shouting and screaming "peaceful protest"

**TrentNz** · 23rd January 2012, 16:22

bunch of wankers with nothing better to do then protest.

**Jantar** · 23rd January 2012, 17:19

I guess the police have set a precedent. Next group ride all bikes can use the same rego number.

**Geeen** · 23rd January 2012, 17:22

Mayhap the police were being the "faceless arm of authority"?

i remember the first test 81 springbox tour in CHCH............i lived in wilsons road opposite the back of what was the main stand back then so was inside the police cordon round the park on the day...............exciting day that one...........none of the riot squad members had their numbers visable that day and almost all of them were sporting moustaches......saw quite a few people,women and men,get the bash as at one stage the protesters pulled a fast one and got right up to the old iron gates.....a week or two later in nelson the riot squad members were all clean shaven............funny that
to my knowledge none of the squad members were ever charged or disciplined over the CHCH beatings

Uh-oh
Three police officers are being investigated for wearing matching identification numbers while helping Auckland Council evict Occupy protesters today. http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/6301...Occupy-arrests

one the one hand, I can understand the desire to conceal your identity when youre told 'this is you job, go and move them' - and ya gotta do it whether you wanna or not.
but.
they chose their line of work. such a thing does little good for creating a positive and trustworthy image for the police. I hope it was a few morons acting together, and not some kind of quiet official decision

**Jantar** · 23rd January 2012, 22:30

There had to be some senior police complicity. How else would they be able to get authentic police badges with identical numbers?

**mashman** · 23rd January 2012, 23:02

Four FBI agents probably told them to do it.

Should have tossed all their tents and fucking possessions into a pile then beaten the living shit out of them, then thrown their twitching carcasses on the pile, added petrol and struck a match. Get a job you fucken losers.

What made this country great NOT!!!

More power to the Police.
