Police getting tougher on speed tolerance

[Bonez]

Never said they did that - the finance office advise me the ticket has been received and show it to me, I tell them to take it out my pay and sign a form consenting to that. I suppose if the ticket was disputed then there would be some other process to follow but I haven't gone down that path.

Why did you not get a photo copy of the infringement notice there and then?

Make no mistake,it's Govt that come up with these crazy ideas.
The poor old coppers are supposed to enforce the shit thats passed down... (if they can be bothered !)

If we can get rid of the crazy bitch Genter by voting anti Toothfairy, things may improve.
(until then folks, pick your moments for a quick fang.)

And their are quite a few areas to do that but one does need simple ol common sense though

If you have an obnoxiously loud exhaust and get caught then tough luck buddy.

There's a slight point of Contention - I agree that the rank and file Officer is merely 'following orders' - however the Police Senior Management have become blatantly political in recent years and are working in concert with the Government, as opposed to have a proper separation of powers between the Judiciary, Legislature and the Executive.

NZTA have been wanting the Popo to get hard on speed for years. There just hasn't been the will to do it.

Now that it's coming closer to reality, someone in NZTA will be happier.

So pretty much all the Political Whores finally got a complicit government.

You know the funny thing about road enforcement tho, it's no-ones job.
Being Govt they all blame each other. Police claim it to be NZTA/Minister, NZTA say it's the Police/Minister/Contractors & Minister say's it's all on the Police/NZTA
Never anyone's responsibility when it comes to Govt, always blame someone/something else

Just celebrated 48 years. I have no idea how she puts up with me

Arguing about how the Police work with people who have never been in the Police is 100% pointless. They quite naturally have no idea. Just like I have no idea about working as a builder/mechanic/soldier/etc etc

We are not arguing about how work ... We are talking about how have been observed "Working" ... and (for some on here) have seen on a regular basis ...

However ... not all officers have the same attitude to road policing policies ... and thank fuck for that.


And the "I'm only doing my job" attitude isn't always the most sensible/intelligent comment and attitude for a 3 km/hr over the posted limit ticket.

Educators Teach ... They teach things they are qualified to teach. Those that choose not to learn ... is not their problem. As an instructor ... YOU should be well aware of THAT. WHERE (and how) the "Educators" got their education from matters most.

Engineers build things as per required in policy and practice. How people use the things they build is the choice of those that use them, and NOT the fault of ANY engineer if they choose to disregard the laws (and common sense) regarding their use.

Enforcers do their job (of enforcing the laws) as they best see fit. What they expect/hope/ask for is not always going to happen. Nor is it part of their job description to argue it. They probably even know that before they ask.


Whatever (and however) it is taught, built or enforced ... it just can't always cope with just plain common stupid.
