This isn't right FFS!!!

[onearmedbandit]

Fuck Stu, I thought this was all sorted and the thread was just going on its own way. This is out of hand now, if there is anything I can do to help as well let me know.

[Virago]

If it's the same exhaust system you had the last two times he pulled you, it's obvious he's getting desperate to get back at you for getting his arse kicked.

How is he always tracking you down like this? It sounds like he could be stalking you .

You need to go back and see the Senior Sergeant ASAP.

[Rashika]

yep...ditto what Paul in NZ said!
This is just pathetic on his part...
and if the wee dick decides to keep doing it (tho why he is, is beyond me??!!), maybe a little chat to the local media could be next.

[Dadpole]

I second what Rashika says. Let then know that media involvement is looming. The story that the local law are handing out fines for non-existant offences IS news.

The story that the local law are handing out fines for non-existant offences IS news.

especially since they are being charged for foreign laws broken by the governments grand solution to our lack of cops, imported bobbys

[Paul in NZ]

Going to the media is the LAST resort.

Attacking policy and the Police in general will result in a closing of ranks and a you against them situation UNTIL you win in court and then most likely the offending officer will be spat out and blamed for every thing while you will still get stopped repeatedly...

A nice quiet little letter from a court savvy lawyer to his local bosses will be appreciated and will most likely be effective. The issue can be dealt with locally and quietly.

Don't escalate this unless you have to. They have more resources if it comes to a shit fight....

Thanks for all the advice guys. Im not too keen on heading off and making this a story for the newspapers. I just want to get this monkey off my back.

Thanks for the advice Paul. I might ring that guy later..

if your helmet visor is your vehicle windscreen, then you should get done for not having a back window when you are not being a van or truck.

If your helmet visor is NOT your vehicle windscreen, there should not be any limitation on tints, just like the case with sunglasses.

So in these respects, officer, what is the problem?

yeah a very last resort only true
....you gota go see the SS again, this guy shouldn't be working here if he cant get the laws right

[spudchucka]

Now Im pissed. Same cop pulled me up this morning at 6:15 this morning on my small wake up ride on the motorway. Same story in that he wanted to know why a 21 year old is out of bed at 6am ect ect.

Anyway, I rode off after 30 mins with a ticket for an uncertified exhaust. Is that a ticketable offence?

Get back to the station and see the same senior sergeant. This cop is being a arsewipe.

[Aaron]

That outright sucks Stu, you're a more patient man than I to not go off your nut at him. He's pulled you over twice already and not picked you up for the exhaust, that's gotta be an argument already for this latest charge being more harassment than you breaking the law.

Admittedly you do have a loud exhaust (or did when I last rode with you), but we don't (might be wrong here) have noise emission testing at the moment for bikes so he can't ping you for that. You said earlier that the bike was warranted so it is then by definition road legal.

What station does he work out of? I know a few Chch officers, would be interesting to see what this guy is thought of in the city. PM if you know his name.

This is what makes me laugh. My mate and I both applied for the police a few years back, were both denied because we weren't female, Maori or pacific islanders. Now my mate is a cop in Skipton (UK) and loving it, while they import feckers from over there because they cannot get enough recruits here to do the job. The govenment is so preocupied in getting the demographics right they're digging themselves into a bloody deep hole. Fucking joke.

I've already talked to Al about it mate. He is expecting a call and I think you will find his advice helpful. Best of all he is an ex cop, knows how it works etc and is an independant witness should anything else happen in the next few days. ie not a fired up angry biker.

Please call him. His advice will be sound I'm sure.

Cheers

ps My understanding of the noisey exhaust thing is.... If he believed it was noisey and you were deliberately causing a problem with it, he could have pink stickered you and that would invalidate your wof.

The law is changing... It's nearly time to hang up your crash helmet but not quite yet

[Divot]

BAd Rap Sniper. Fo every one here is the ltsa website with wof regs

[Rashika]

still 3 to go...thought you woulda done it by now...
so whats the goss with this thread? any more info yet?

[Sniper]

I will go see my favourite senior sergeant today and if he cant get this guy to pull his head in then I will consult the lawer Paul_in_NZ recommended.
