Police getting tougher on speed tolerance

[R650R]

I don't know the facts in this case but I do wonder why in generally the public & media want to see officers punished to the maximum extent possible under the law while we ourselves expect the police to use discretion when we fuck up.

Wonder no more, its a well known condition affecting 100% of the first world population and known as Acute Hypocriticitis Whinus Maximus

Translation: Out of thousands of vehicles passing police in that area during the course of the day, three of them failed the attitude test

OH You mean?? Sorry officer I wont be fucked off you pulled me up for 102

I've been saying for ages this carry on will end badly I think my common comment was "us and them" mentality

I challenge every person who gets a speeding ticket under the zero tolerance regime to fight it.
Here's what you do.
When pulled up.
1. Ask to see the officer's certificate indicating he/she is trained to operate radar speed detection equipment.
2. Ask to see all certificates relating to the unit itself and check that all serial numbers are correct.
3. Ask to see the day's test results that should have been done before the officer went on patrol.
If all of those things are in order take the matter to court.
— Ask for proof that the radar units are capable of recording zero tolerance speeds. I believe they are plus/minus 2 or 3 percent.
— Ask how zero tolerance can be enforced when speedometers in cars in NZ are only required to be accurate to within plus/minus 10 percent under the Australian Design Rules (ADRs) that this country has adopted.
Of course, it's futile if you are 15 or 20km.h over the limit, but if there's a shadow of doubt — challenge it in court.

Oh yeah that gives it credibility now....

I bet you not one of those people grandstanding on this will ever test their cut n paste bush lawyer protocol in a real courtroom. If their so sure about it they could easily deliberately speed past a cop to test it out...

Memo: NZ Police
Topic: Being arseholes & losing public support
Just keep doing what you're doing: your traffic section should have ruined the entire goodwill of the NZ Police by the end of Christmas holidays.

Good to see M Laws telling it like it is, saw M Hoskings rant on about cops losing public goodwill as well the other night.

Those types do it to raise the ratings of their talk-back show.

Next week the topic will be axe-murderers and unexplained deaths of under-two-year-olds..

Why do cops (I assume you refer to Highway Patrols) need "Public Goodwill" and Bikers don't .. ???

Discretion comes with a price ...

[FJRider]

... and unexplained deaths of under-two-year-olds..

Blood stains on the parents driveways might be a clue ...

Hoskings.... the guy who went nuts about a scratch on his Maserati caused by an old lady... yeah he knows about public goodwill. Just another shock-jockey... At least Laws usually takes a stance rather than chasing ratings...

Mike Hoskings is probably one of the biggest peices of shit in all of NZ.
On a side note I went 105kph on the motorway and didnt get fined. #ftp #yolo

Folk exceed the speed limit hundreds of times for each time they get stopped. Then they bang on about how unreasonable it is.

Just my humble observation.

Working on a Booze Bus checkpoint at the mo. More fun than a rattle snake down yer trousers.

Hang about, are you saying exceeding the speed limit doesn't kill?
