Police getting tougher on speed tolerance

[pete376403]

Raise the ACC on the cunts. ALL pedestrians should have to wear a number plate accross their arses and pay a suitable ACC heavy rego fee each year.

plus they must wear hi-viz

\NZ mechanical standards LAW, clearly states that speedo's must be accurate within a 10% margin...and allowances MUST be made for this fact & LAW!

The Law also states it is the drivers responsibility to drive within the speed limits.

...currently, if you disbute the ticket for a BULLSHIT! amount over the speed limit...you can ONLY go to a police approved "Speedo Testin facility"(...of which there are only THREE in the country!)...and the cost to prove your speedo was out...is over $300!!, so this actually means that the tickets cannot be legally defended in court by the average motorist....which every Kiwi has A RIGHT! to do so.

I think you mean dispute ... but the reading you see on YOUR speedometer is irrelevant ...

The reading on their Hawk units is what the court gets to decide your guilt from ...

If YOU do NOT know the accuracy of the speedometer on your vehicles ... YOU are at fault. And a dickhead to boot ...

A faulty reading on your speedometer(s) is NO defense in a court of law.

This is a BLATANT scam by the Govt & police to generate more "unqustionable" revenue from the avergae road user...NOTHING MORE!!!(Move the goal posts much??)

A blatant rant from an average (read stupid) road user .. actually ...

Again, they have twisted the figures to met there own greedy agenda.

More ranting ...

REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE TICKET!!...you have the RIGHT to defend yourself in court, make them post the ticket and clearly state, "I will be disbuting this ticket officer, as this has NOTHING to do with roadsafety, and you have limited my means to defend myself...see you in court!"

You also have the (preferred) right to remain silent ... road safety or not ... speed limits are law. You know the rules and penalty's if you break them.

If you have "Limited means to defend yourself" ... stay innocent.

If EVERYONE!!!!, does this, the courts will be crippled by the influx of case's...the cost's will soar, more and more police will be held up in court, and the whole BS scheme will have to be scrapped as it will cost MORE to collect the fines, than the revenue created!....fight back!!, use there own Bullshit systems against them.

Almost right .... but wrong. It will just take (a lot) longer for your case to be heard. Costs WILL soar (including fines)

Enjoy your wait to get your "Time in Court"

enough is enough!, we are NOT an endless source of revenue for this Greedy Govt...

Keep breaking the posted speed limits ... and you WILL be ...

REFUSE THE TICKETS!!

No issue there ... they just MAIL them to you ... end result is the same ...

NZ Police...whom do you serve??

They are enforcing the law and keeping Public order. The rules aren't theirs ... talk to your MP about who makes the rules ...

Have a great Xmas NZ...don't forget to bring your ID & Wallets!

Keep your speed down ... or you might not make it to (or past) Christmas. Carrying ID is a requirement in legislation. You CAN be "Detained in Custody" if you do not have sufficient proof of identity. And remain there until you CAN prove who you SAY you are ...

Your time ... your choice ...

... they wanna alienate themselves from the average Kiwi by treating us as ignorant fools who can't see BULLSHIT & BLATANT revenue collection when its put in front of us...fine!, ITS THERE LOSS!

Ever thought ... they might see more ignorant fools in their day ... than you know could ever exist .. ??? The Officers discretion to waive issuing infringement notices can be in your hands.

Remain silent and be thought a fool. Open it ... and ... !!!

- you reap what you sow! (And all there planting lately...is discontempt!)

My advice ... install spell check. It makes your rants look more intelligent ... and makes you NOT look like an ignorant fool.

Ranting actual facts will (might) help .... Ignorant fools do often have a problem with that ....

-RANT OFFICALLY OVER

Appreciated ...

And that all fines be ILLEGAL & VOID unless 1st convicted in a court of law... don't see that one being obeyed

[scumdog]

Got my only speeding ticket in '87.

Unlikely to get another one.

How hard is it , eh?

on a Harley it's harder to get a speeding ticket than to avoid one, isn't it?

A total 1244 speeding tickets were served to police vehicle drivers in 2012 and 2013.

Payment of any fines asked for is ADMISSION of GUILT. Then no court case required.

Don't pay the fine and have your "Day in Court" ... (that IS your RIGHT)


Everybodys "Free" choice ...

http://www.stuff.co.nz/motoring/news...tolerance.html

"Police operated a 4kmh tolerance last summer - from December 1 to January 31 - but still issued more than 200,000 tickets for people speeding between 1kmh and 10kmh over the limit.
That was more than five times the same period the previous year when there was no reduced tolerance, a police report into the Safer Summer campaign showed.
The tickets totalled more than $6 million in fines, an increase of about $5m from the previous years"

Seems like a pritty good earner

I wonder what proportion of those were speed camera tickets. Most, I suspect. Not too many of the troops really bought into it, but that'll change over time.

Troops will be busy on the booze buses this year, hence the beat up about the 0 tolerance to get the suckers to hold up the traffic.

I dare you to try that, let me know how it goes...

[FJRider]

AND ... How many were then waived ... ???

Tell the full story or don't bother ...

Or packing tasers and standing guard by speed cameras to prevent them being destroyed.
Lets face it your being replaced by a machine that's cheaper to run and collects tax more efficiently.
Just to add insult you will end your days protecting the governments more valuable assets.

Just saying.

I currently have NO demerit points ... I dare YOU to try THAT ... let me know how YOU how it goes ...

Booze buses are part of the master plan. They make people late so that they speed and get camera fines. Works well in conjunction with a 4kph tolerance as even the most well behaved person whose late will stray 4kph and get taxed.
