    You were the one who first bought the media in this not me. Now you slag them when you are unable to justify your comments. If I remember correctly your comments on them would apply to that Police Officer who spoke on the 330 kpm bike.

    As for the dozey mother comment.

    Headlines. Motorcade Officer Found Guily. In a rare comment the Jury forman said that jury members had no doubt about the officers guilt after the court had heard his speed detecting device had been deliberately recalibrated in order for the defendant to maintain his contact quota's.


    We can all play silly buggers with this SD. But I'm happy to let you win this one.

    I'm not sure which comments you mean but as a rule the media 'hunt with the hounds & run with the hare' and put any slant on any subject to suit their needs. (read: sell air-time and/or newspaper).

    WTF ? I missed that one. Where was that from. So a cop got caught winding up his radar, is that what it's saying? I always suspected that went on, but never knew someone had actually been caught. And if one guy is doing it, you cna bet your bottom dollar he's not the only one (no offence to our resident plod, who I'm sure wouldn't - but even if one in 20 cops does, that's hundreds of shonky radars out there)

    Hey Scumdog

    I'll let you explain. This is just getting too complicated for a simple plebian such as myself.

    Huh? You've lost me now. WTF are you on about? I'm saying the insurer has to PROVE something actually happened, but the cops don't have to prove anything on the side of the road. How does that make us tared with the same brush?

Is this not fundamentally wrong?
    ..
    It's funny how there's a total silence when these affronts to our basic rights are proposed, then when it's too late people get up in arms.
    Roadside penalty's have been a fact for years now.
    The next version being proposed in the UK, is that Prosecutors and the Police will decide cases and fix penalties. No court hearing as such.

    big headlines the next day "POLICE TRIED TO KILL MY SON" son being the passenger of the car that was being pursued by a marked cop car.

    Just not too sure what your point is. Not having read the article but I am making an asumption that the headlines are a quote from the father. Are you saying that the paper should not have quoted the father. If this is the case then I can think of any number of quotes that should not have been reported simply on the basis that they are not true. The last election would be a fair example.

    It may have excaped your notice that the media report what they hear. Editorials on the other hand report the papers opinion, and there is considerable difference. There are, it is true, some papers and media that do a better job than others but if we are going to down the scenioro that you seem to suggest then perhaps you could make a TV presentation and just for record correct the lie that you collegue made on TV 3 about the bike doing 330kph. Now Scumdog it's your move.
