) in my brothers GTS4 that he does drag race legally.(so u no big bore front mount intercooler CPU upgrade all that shit)were not speeding and go past this cop he radars up about 5 times then eventually turns round to come after us, he pulls us up outside Pit Stop, and become young stuck up Captian obvious. Questions he asked.
1. wuts the speed radar for? (we had radar detector) reply: Its got real pretty lights that flash.
2. Do you own this car? reply: Well i am driving it arent i?(he wasnt to happy with that one)
3. where have you been, out to get lunch? (we have 3 boxes of pizza with us) reply: What do you think.
4. WOF and rego? reply: Yessss (us getting annoyed)
5. I jus need to do a license check? (mate are u a cock or wut go bac to college) reply: Whats your badge number cus ive had enough of this crap!

Then he backed down big time with the badge number thing, oooo that hate that one.

So you are saying that if you had information that could help identify a serious criminal you would not come forward because you got a speeding ticket.

Grow up!!!!

It might actually help some drivers to understand their own personal tolerance to aclohol and thereby make them safer, more responsible drivers.

Not every thing the police do is for a negative reason Lou.

I can't see why it is rude, perhaps the manner in which it is said could be but simply saying isn't rude. It's just informing the driver of the result.

M8...thats bad luck. I would have gone past around the same time as you this morning, at about the same speed and i never saw him, nor him me, obviously.

Well we'll have to b informed of the tone but i still wouldnt want to hear it even if i were over the youth limit as i would have known wut i could drink in the first place. If that makes sense

Nah don't agree. I put it under the same asshole behaviour as the cop who pulled me over for doing 105km/h overtaking and took great delight in telling me that if I'd gone 5 km/h faster he would have done me.

Yeah right. And if I had have been wearing an L plate he could have given me a big ticket too.

My point is, if it doesn't apply to the situation, the cop should shut the fuck up. It's just not helpful, it makes them look like assholes, and personally I'd prefer it if they put down their stupid lasers, and did some real police work for a change.

And Lou - my father-in-law - who is ex-MOT Motorcycle (Te Aroha) feels exactly the same way as you about the situation too.

I'm starting to wonder about spudchuckers affiliations too, he seems very defensive of the Police.
I object to some 'wet behind the ears' cop who hasn't been alive even as long as I've been driving, trying to wind up drivers with the 'that's a fail (pause) youth' line.
It's obvious to an idiot that I'm not 20 and I think I've learnt a lot about my alcohol capacity in 45 years of using it.

if they did some real police work it would be a miracle. Like instead of people taking their broken in car to the cop shop they should b coming to where it happened to see the scene. Another one is a honda show car got stolen now its a show car so they stand out yet the cops didnt find it until it was completely burnt out which was a few days later. You could actually see into the gearbox, the heat was so strong it melted the outercasing of it.

I reckon if they did as much revenue collecting as actual police work there wouldnt be as many theifs in NZ.

very defenisive indeed. Well, spud mate, whether you're plod or not isn't the issue... I just hope you've got your ears open to what people are saying here. Sure some of its silly niggle but its worth all of us paying attention so we're informed as we need to be to not act like dickheads and not cause unwarranted grief to others

They did put a detective on the job when two new Mercs got nicked from a dealership in Auck though. Wonder why?

I expect them to put the same sort of effort into solving crime as they do into revenue raising.
