My brother has no motorcycle license of any sort not even a learners.
He was sent on his way without any infringement notices being written and says he barely got a warning.
Supposedly the last thing the cop said to him was "i never pulled you over, if they find out about this ill be in the shit"

If I could be certain it was true I would be laying a complaint against this officer on the basis of if he is letting this go what else is he turning a blind eye to?
I just cant believe this story though.
What do you guys think? Anybody here got a similar (true) experience.

You guys are brothers right?

I was under the impression that above a certain speed it was considered too dangerous for the police to follow to pull you over...?

Is that correct, or just another heap of bullshit?

You came on here to ask us if you should trust your brother......?????

you should know the answer to that better than us, and by the way, it didn't happen just in case you are for real

That's just one of their PR lines they use when the pursuit blame happens after it all goes wrong, from what I've seen in real life coming past my house and also when on the road in the truck the whole "pursuit policy" is just for decoration. I don't mind the cops chasing people and wish they would just say hey this is what we do to catch the bad guys instead of bending over to the Remuera 4WD club who prob only complain as they had a parking ticket that day.
Awhile back there was a story in our rag down here:
A STATIONARY patrol car clocked an ONCOMING Subaru at 175kph, in court police said the offender ACCELERATED more after going past the cop. Now how fast did that stationary SV6 commodore go to catch up after he turned around and initiated a pursuit??? They caught the guy in the end, well done and all. But they missed an opportunity to say to these young ones hey you cant outrun us.
Even watching that police 10-7 show, most people can probably work out how fast those cars are going sometimes from the sound even though the camera might conveniently point away from the speedo.
But I guess if your safety message that going 4k over the limit is a deathtrap you can't be admitting to be doing xxxkm/h in daily duties with near zero crash rate...

.

I just can't imagine where you dredged that idea up. What possible good would it do? You'd piss your brother off, you'd piss the cop off, his bosses would be pissed off and they would probably order the guys who do the work to be sure to be tough on bikers.

Good idea, yeah right.

Depends on the police officer I guess. I got pulled over by a dog handler not so long ago. I was on an SV1000, coming in from Porirua back to the shop after doing an insurance valuation. Wasn't paying attention and zig zagged my way through some traffic at around 140-150. He was fair wetting himself when he first pulled me over. Once I'd taken my helmet off and he could see I was an old cunt and learnt where I worked etc...he calmed down. We ended up having a bit of a chat and he sent me on my merry way. Obviously had far better things to do thatn bother with the paper work etc. So it CAN happen. Doubt it'd happen too often this time of year but.

A 75 year old senior citizen bought a brand new Ducati Diavel and drove it out of the salesroom, with the salesman shaking his head at what he just let happen.
Taking off down the motorway, he opened the throttle and was soon doing 120mph, he was revelling this new experience.
”Amazing!" he thought as he flew down the road, enjoying pushing the bike more and more. Looking in his mirror, he saw a police car behind him, blue lights flashing and siren blaring.
"I can get away from him - no problem!" thought the elderly nutcase as he opened it up to 140mph, then 150 then 160.
Suddenly, he thought, "What on earth am I doing? I'm too old for this nonsense!" So he pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the police car to catch up with him.
Pulling in behind him, the police officer walked up to the now distraught man, looked at his watch and said, ”Sir, my shift ends in 10 minutes. Today is Friday and I'm taking off for the weekend. If you can give me a reason why you were speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."
The old man, looked very seriously at the policeman and replied, "Years ago my wife ran off with a policeman. I thought you were bringing her back." "Have a good day, Sir", said the policeman.

Maybe you should get him on here to face the Kiwi Biker court...

How could you? It is not as if you have a bike. But even if you could ride, your benefit wouldnt cover the fines anyway, loser.

No he didn't get a ticket... you did, he said he was you and left his license at home, you will see the ticket when he doesn't pay up :P
