Cop mistakes chocolate for mobile

[FJRider]

busy little driver being able to complete his call/text and find and delete the log whilst driving with the mobile disco behind him. Remember he only pulled around the corner. Is it only me or does that seem just a tad unreasonable? It is quicker to make the text than to find and delete its record given that most aren't practised at deleting their individual logs.

My thoughts too ...

What was the date of the survey showing Police at the top of the pile?

Police have been consistently improving for the last 5 years, but the 1st big earthquake happened 17 months ago so your contention doesn't stack up.

Both answered in your thread. But to sum up for you it comes down to the recession, most of the others are viewed as the cause as we as those profiting from it, and you now has land lines.
As Police used to be the top of the respect pile it has been a long slide with some claw back thanks to the likes of the Chch earthquakes.

Dave Campbell People are becoming less respectful of authority, the South's top policeman said yesterday in the wake of three violent assaults on police - including one in Oamaru - in three days.
"That has been the trend over many years. I think everyone would agree," Acting Superintendent Dave Campbell said.

The Government is considering harsher sentences for offenders who attack police officers, with Police Minister Judith Collins yesterday saying she will consider a law change to better protect police officers.

She said she would look at tougher penalties, but rebuilding respect for the law should be the first step.

"What I've asked to find out is whether or not the law is being properly applied. That's one side of it.

"But, actually, we'd rather stop the attacks in the first place, and I think it's extremely important that we start to rebuild the respect and fear for the law that we expect," she told Radio New Zealand.

A police report about increases in acts of violence against its staff is due to be received by Mrs Collins at the end of the week.

The report was called for after Senior Constable Jeremy Snow was shot when checking a suspicious vehicle in South Auckland in December.

Urgency was added to the matter after three police officers were attacked in separate incidents at the weekend.

Three men were charged and released on bail yesterday over an assault on a police officer at an Oamaru drink-driving checkpoint on Sunday night; off-duty officer John Connolly was left seriously injured with broken bones after trying to break up a fight south of Auckland and having bystanders turn on him; and, near Whangarei, a police officer had part of his lip bitten off when he tried to breath-test a suspected drink-driver.

Prime Minister John Key yesterday condemned the attacks and said the country would have been appalled.

"They were barbaric acts and quite frankly they were disgusting, and if anyone thinks the Government is going to sit back while police officers' lips are being bitten off and do nothing about it then they need to think again," Mr Key said.

He said penalties against those who assaulted police would be reassessed, including whether it should be mandatory that such attacks be an aggravating factor in sentencing.

The law gives judges discretion on whether that should be the case.

Acting Supt Campbell would not be drawn on whether he would like to see harsher penalties for people who assault police.

However, he said assaults on the police in the southern district were common, although the number of people charged with assaulting police in the Dunedin-Clutha police area declined last year compared with 2008.
