How anal cops decide to police will depend on each individual arsehole I suppose

some are just naturals.....

And how we deal with each individual we stop depends on similar grounds.

Had a bad experience or two? Have a look in the mirror.

I might have asked this before. Id the money gathered from traffic infringements, included in the national budget though? There's a moral question raised if it is, what with the government banking on citizens breaking the law. If there is not it must be a surplus, and I've never heard of where the money goes.

Thought I'd covered this before.

Fines go to what used to be called the Consolidated Fund. It's now just about the same thing, but it has a different name. Don't know what it's called.

The concept is that all gubbermint income goes to a big bucket from which spending is dished out at the budget.

Police Road Policing is funded from the Land Transport Fund. 21% of the Police's annual allocation of funds comes from there. NZTA and the Ministry of Transport contracts the Police to deliver certain categories of enforcement, paying them to do so.

For a more detailed (and yet strangely boring as batshit) explanation go here

In essence, the Police don't get the money from fines, apart from through a long winded funding arrangement. I don't know anyone in the job who gives a toss about the money, as we don't get paid based on fines collected.

I personally have views on fines and their effectiveness for various outputs, but years of writing to Ministers and CEOs has had little effect.

Yip yip, I understand all that. I don't mean the police budget, I mean the national one they release every year.

Looks like I'll have to go to archives and have a read methinks. Shoot me now!

Batshit isn't boring at all. It's used to make nitroguanidine which, usually mixed with other nitrocellulose propellants, goes in cartridge cases to propel bullets out of the barrels of firearms.

Getting it out of the caves wouldn't be boring either, with all those assorted nasties in the bottom of the cave: cobras, scorpions and centipedes etc.

No, batshit shouldn't be boring at all. Now, sitting by the road with a speed camera *that* would be boring.

Easy job to tender for. Tech training in how to set the things up is the biggest outlay, assuming the five oh supply the cameras of course.

Especially on a straight 4 lane motorway like the arseholes do on the Northern out of Chch

OK, so you think speed camera operators are arseholes? But traffic cops are ok?

Aren't speed cameras operated by contractors. Who get told where and when they need to be parked?

I know when I was doing breath testing surveys with the fuzz, the location was generated by a computer.

If you would have had some of my experiences with the Rangiora police farce you would also be suitably unimpressed.....

yes I do tar them with the same brush.....

wear the same patch.

That bulshit attitude serves no one. And trust me, I've dealt with some real cunts who were cops too.

Yes, especially if they are on the side of four lane motorways, that has nothing to do with road safety

He doesn't work in Rangiora

I'm 26 now and I've been driving since 16 but I've never been pulled over. I guess my driving is too tame.

I did have a run in on my DRZ with a check point. P:"Where's your WOF?" Me:"Ahh, well my bike kind of vibrates a lot. I think it fell off the other day." Policeman looks at my number plate which is almost torn in half. P:"Umm, don't worry. Carry on."

But he didn't check my license, lucky for me because I got that DRZ a week before I got my full. I was sweating.
