Funny thing happened at work today. No really, it's funny.

One of my motorcycle Popos saw a bloke ride his cycle through a red light, not wearing a helmet.

Right, here we go. The contact starts with the officer starting to write a ticket for each offence. The standard replies start to flow, until the words "Why don't you go catch a real criminal" come out.

The officer stands back and points out to the cyclist, who happens to be wearing an electronic bail monitoring anklet, that he IS a real criminal.

I can see the humour in it.

what happen if the cyclist doesn't have a drivers licence?

[nzspokes]

You didnt notice that the bike was stolen and he had drugs stuffed down the seat tube?

[HenryDorsetCase]

Imagine if he was eating a pie!

a donut is more likely, from what I've seen.

I can understand if the rest of the country wants to move on from this, but that way it was for us on the big EQ day will stay with me for the rest of my life.

It's one work story you wish didn't happen. Tears for Rastuscat on hearing it come back.

Hey Rastus, used to visit ChCh a lot for business and always said I would happily live there if I left Auckland. Those ladies and men in blue did a great job in that audio. They must have been very stressed, concerned for their friends and family but just got on and did their job in an extremely calm, professional manner. The lady in Comms was awesome, so calm and collected!!!

Big ups to you all.

Thanks for being there.

A little while ago I pulled into a servo to get fuel, and when I left I pulled out behind a guy on a scooter.
A rainy day, and this clown has a helmet on his head that isnt buckled on, and he's wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and jandles.

You think that's bad? He lit a durry just before he pulled out of the servo and smoked while he was wobbling around the road, going around roundabouts etc.

I was seriously tempted to pull up alongside and push him over for being such a retard.

When i sat my basic handling skills test a fella was smoking while riding the whole time we were outside... And a mates dad used to spend quite alot of time years ago riding round with a crate bottle where the speedo shoulda been, good ol' Hastings eh?

So if the cyclist had been to a petrol station and filled a can with petrol and did a runner would he have been charged with it or is there a legal loophole preventing this being done???
