    Highway Patrol TV 1

    Is this a comedy show?

    I caught the last few minutes waiting for " The Silk Road " which would be a good bike trip.

    Why are the Police so nice to idiots who have no rego,wof or licence?

    The message they are sending out is that why bother with all that compliance kafuffle when you only get a $400.00 fine.

    There was one plonker that had a POS van on SH1 that had not been legal for 10 years and the driver had no licence.

    All very amusing..... slapped a pink sticker on the window and told him to get it sorted.

    Cop made some comment about old vehicles....I think he meant to say old neglected vehicles driven by complete morons.

    I can't believe that anyone watches that Police PR Propaganda bullshit. Frankly I can't believe that, in 2017, people are still watching broadcast television.

    That's probably because you're a self-centred twat.

    that might be true, but the point about broadcast TV remains.

    I watched some for the first time in ages last night: THE ORVILLE on Duke.

    I fucking hate Seth McFarlane it turns out.

    I don't bother usually as I can only take so many adds and the awful American need to do a total recap as your probably forgot what they were on about during the add break.

    The Silk Road is interesting as was the Guy Martin China one on Choice, but the add/interest ratio waned for the one on the Thames.

    Bored with Netflix as its movies are so old and I can't be arsed with Dragons and Tits crap.

    BBC was good until they shut down Global Mode

    I do wonder why the police are not tougher on some stuff...

    But then you'd probably find every whiny, sniffly little finger-pointing twit would be screeching from their soapbox about police brutality... and "life's not fair!"

    Perhaps we should introduce them to police overseas...

    I can't believe that people are stupid enough to pay for any version of the propaganda machine of the ruling elite!

    Sucked in mate - propagandized and paying for it.

    I got held hostage by some re-runs over the Christmas season once. These days we have more options. One of those programmes showed a guy who had been caught in a shit box with no warrant or rego. (Of course - if there isn't a warrant there can't be rego.) after the transaction was completed the driver spoke to the camera as he walked away saying something like, I chose the wrong road home. No, that's not the problem, the problem was lack of a warrant. To be a bit realistic, a lot of the customers on the show look to be beneficiaries and the benefit probably doesn't cover many hours in a workshop at current rates?
