That would be covered by which piece of legislation?
The "Failing to obey a Policeman immediately Act 2005"?
Or the "Dead shit loser Act 2004"
Or even the "Attitude adjustment Act 2004"

The more you spout this crap under anonimity, the less trust I have in any cop.

Ah well, at least I know what sort of reception I'll get when I walk into AMPS

From the vid I saw, she was getting locked up...Here in NZ it would be Resisting...Summary Offences Act 1981...

Don't know of the other above ones...don't know of the Attitude Adjustment Act, but know of Right Attitude, No Ticket Act...they also refer to it as "discretion..."

Oxygen theft is another that comes to mind....theft is in the Crimes Act 1961....

[scumdog]

Cheeze-dick?? Oh come on Scum is that the best that you can come up with a bit of name calling? And what's with this "If I wasn't so tollerant things would be different? Some kind of veiled threat. O for fucks sake Scum and you accuse me of being a 'dick?

And what's this psychology of police thoughts and actions? You expect me to believe that the boys don't swap stories at the end of the shift? I'm a bloke Scumdog, have been all my life. I know the macho culture of our sex when the boys get together with or without booze.

I'll look forward to some socialising with you via Dangerouse and co. I like to travel light with these guys. Suggest that you do the same leave all your baggage at home. There's no place for it out on the road.

Too much alcamahol combined with reading too much ranting by others that 'know' what they're talking about - plus more than just a little to get a reaction!!
Apologies all 'round!!
OH, and ask anybody who HAS met me and had drinks with me how agro etc I get.
See you at the Magpie Madness eh?


(P.S., only stumbled across this by accident, thought I'd got a bit 'stroppy' on one thread but couldn't recall which one!)

I couldn't care less what you think.

Hell for all I know they were both deaf. Unlikely yes but who here can say that they were not hearing impaired.

Dunno about the bloke as I have not seen that clip, but as for the chick: I can definitely say she's not "hearing impaired", and so can anyone who has watched the vid - she's definitely comprehending what they're saying and actively refusing to do as she is instructed. I don't think even a jury of moronic yokels would buy a "hearing impaired" exuse.

She was breaking the law, she knew she was breaking the law, she knew what would happen once they ran her licence and she was going out of her way to avoid giving them her paperwork. Then she resisted the arrest that she knew was inevitable and she got tased - diddums. Maybe next time she won't drive an illegal car at excessive speeds whilst disqualified - or if she does, maybe she'll have learned to say "It's a fair cop, I'll come quietly."

As to the danger, real or imagined. Dude, we're talkiing about a country where a bloke's excuse for killing another man was "he looked at me funny" and two women shot and wounded each other at close range while fighting over a parking space. If I were a cop in America, I'd be worried about every fuckwit I pulled over, too. From the cops' viewpoint, she could have had a concealed weapon within reach but she had not yet drawn a lethal weapon (lethal force not warranted but still a potentially risky situation)

Nothing in the tape suggested that the officer was in danger. .

Non-compliance with the law.
Was she expecting to be serenaded out of the car with a orchestra ?

[Lou Girardin]

There are other societies where people are tortured and killed for not doing as they're told.
What's their name again?
Oh that's right, Police states.

And the problem is?????.....



Myself? always found kind words and a lollipop worked when people wouldn't do as asked...yeah right.
Maybe I should start using 'other societies' methods?

[zjet]

The onlt prob with the guns is. If 3 cops are tring to cotrol a nutter they may not notice him grabing the gun and some one dies..

Best for the Stunna i say

Thats reaching just a 'tad'. The argument here is Police using the taser to arrest people who are resisting.

The reality is theres less chance of either the offender or cop getting injured by using things like tasers. Perhaps if there were always 5 Police to one unarmed offender they could wrestle them to the ground without causing injury. However do you really expect a 55kg female cop working on her own (which is often the reality thanks to shortages) to physically try and arrest an agro 120kg gang member?

I know you were a bit of a rambo as a traffic cop and often took down groups of resisting speeders without causing a scratch to either you or them, but spare a thought for the mere mortals.

Drama queen! What a load of shite!

[scumdog]

Don't feed the troll!!!

[Storm]

Exactly what Scumbag says- trolls starve quickly

[Storm]

PS, Scumdog, dont hunt me down and Tazer my cheeky carcass for misspelling your name


There now, that should please everyone

[Colapop]

Now that it has been reported Here that Police are going to be trialing Tasers is there anybody here willing to 'help' them and report back some actual results?
I especially liked the bit where they mention that Police are being encouraged to fire from short range so they don't hit crims in the goolies or eyes. I'd move in closer so I could a more accurate shot (on the goolies or eyes!!) :eyepoke:
