Police attitude

[Grahameeboy]

I wonder how many accidents are created by people continuiously looking down at their speedos. I caught my misses looking at my speedos one day while walking along the beach and she tripped over a bit of drift wood. HAHAHA

If you were wearing speedo's ewe sure it was the drift wood she tripped over.....ho ho ho

[R1madness]

i love it.... but yea unfortunately it was the drift wood

It will be that one time someone runs out in front of you and you just miss them when your going 60k an hour and you think shit im glad i wasnt doing 65!

Ha!
The myth exposed.

Yeah I think WINJA finally got laid last night.

DID YOU WONDER WHY YOUR MUM WAS WALKING FUNNY LAST NIGHT?

That's normal. After all she is a hooker.

[The_Dover]

Was that the old bird we tag teamed WINJA?

Hahahahahaha i just heard on the news it took the Cops 2 hours to respond to a burg that had 20 high power guns stolen. Now they are worried about them being in the hands of "bad people". Useless why not resopnd sooner. Oh yea i forgot there is no revenue in solving burgs.

Traffic deal with traffic, only a small minority too, coz they have to... GDB deal with everything else...rescuing nanas cat from the tree to death and destruction, coz they have to... Bloody oath that is a worry, wonder what the excuse was for delays..responding to gang warfare shootouts perhaps? Who knows...

[Dafe]

oh pleeeeeze... yup all cops aren't educated, all politicians are fkwts and Dorkland is gonna with the Super14

I'll gladly take you up on that. 20 dollars says Hurricanes finish above Auckland on the table. You keen?

nah... absolutely no interest in that AT ALL!. now that I'm a happily separated woman, I dont actually HAVE to sit in on a friday & saturday night & sunday arvo and watch rugby... uuuuugggghhhhh... one of my most unfavourite things to do.
Much rather be doing what I like, and funnily enough... thats riding my bike


not having seen any rugby for 6 months now, I'd say you may well be right tho...of course Crusaders would be above both anyway

Someone needs to do something about the thousands of suicidal pedestrians out there... maybe if we lowered the speed limit to 20, then there would be minimal pedestrian deaths... But that would defeat the purpose of having separate roads and footpaths.

If you think that the suicidal pedestrian theory is reason for lame speed limits, then maybe something should be done about pedestrian education, so we can regain the roads.

Another quality thread. Well worth the read, very informative and full of well reasoned arguements. I feel so much more enlightened through having read it.

I was just thinking that myself. A variety of subjects and tangents seem to have been visited here. .

[Indoo]

Not to mention an introduction to idioms 101 with your tutor Dafe.

[scumdog]

And lets not forget that vtec has still to explain to us dumber ones how an immediate response by police to the firearms burg would have had a better result than the two hour time it actually took to arrive at the scene. (I suppose it would have stopped the shop owner from running to the ever accurate media?)

Still, this is the one entertainment that is cheap, bring on more!

Bullocks. I was at that pursuit in Pakaranga Road, it was highly stressful and the car was making rapid changes of direction...you werent there, i doubt you have ever been involved in a pursuit let alone one that does not involve traffic matters; the scroate was wanted on criminal matters and was going to do anythign to get away. That is a completly different type of pursiut than someone wanting to merely get away on a traffic incident in terms of the offenders behavious and the risks he will take with public lives and the lives of police staff.

It is a stressful fine line in a pursuit and having been involved in quite a few the situation can change any second and a safe distance is no longer safe, you really dont know what its like till your actually involved in it.

And from working on ONE homicide and reaslising it takes about 30 - 40 staff who are at least partially trained in CIB methods to start a homicide investigation you would understand how under resourced General Duties and CIB is.

Ill admit that medium offences like car thefts, burglaries and general dishonesty offences are not being attended to properly as there is just not the staffing levels currently to proerply attend, investigate and lay charges.

But street disorder and domestics are serviced to a very high standard in new zealand. We have the highest percentage of solving serious crime such as rape, homicide, GBH etc out of us the UK and Austrailia.

I can tell you that was NO exaggeration on bikey cops behalf as i was there.

3 questions for you,

did you catch the guy?

and if all you cops that think you're understaffed have you brought it to attention higher up and if you have what have you been told?

in my experiance in the 2 times ive needed the cops they were quick to get here and were good blokes the 2 times i didnt need the cops but they needed me, one was a total loser and didn't know the first thing about being a country cop and eventually left town (lasted about 5 monthes i think) and the other cop was an old friend luckily.
