2) Grow up.

I dunno I've been blinded by some pretty bright spotlights attached to bikes before. Maybe they really were too bright? Maybe you were screwing up their group photo shoot???

Where does the law say that ? I don't know that rule. I've just got out my well thumbed Road Code. It says
Nothing there about full beam being illegal in a suburban street (presumably, in a 50kph area). In fact, references to police directing traffic and "if there is plenty of street light" imply the reverse.When to dip your vehicles headlamps
You must dip your vehicles headlamps
When other vehicles are coming toward you...
When you are following other vehicles..
When a police officer is directing traffic ..
When you stop
(inset) "If there is plenty of street light you should be able to drive with the headlamps dipped the whole time"
I frequently use full beam in 50kph areas (subject to the above of course) . I do not think there is a rule against, but welcome correction.

Damn. Could have fooled me.

Quite right,and in fact high beam is not even a legal requirement,there are only rules on it's adjustment and use,and lamp regulations if fitted.The new rules about driving and fog lamps have come about because of some ignorant twats pushing the rules,and like everything else...we lose yet another area of freedom of choice...like it's as if we can't think.
How's that for evasion and deflection...could I become a politition?

A fly on the wall? Such comments coming from a Police Officer speaking publically....
Just goes to show the degradation that the Police Force have been undergoing. Not just Physically but also Mentally.

i'm curious...A fly on the wall? Such comments coming from a Police Officer speaking publically....

but what is so wrong with using the saying 'fly on the wall' and how does it show degradation of the police force
or was that last post as tongue in cheek?

Man just saw something crazy tonight.
I was just getting into my car to head down to the plaza about 1 minutes drive, to get some orange juice; and I saw a chopper fly slowly overhead, and i thought crap they are looking at me. So anyway I ignored them, and jumped in and drove down to the shops. Grabbed the juice, and as I was leaving about 10 cop cars were just ripping up in the carpark outside foodtown. A bunch of them came in and asked if any of us saw a guy run in there... Nope. Could tell they were just getting all high on drama and crap. Driving home I saw another bunch of cops parked up a side street. Holy shit you would have thought someone had finally assassinated Helen Clarke? News cameras following the cops too.
Wonder what was going on. Looked a bit like overkill though.

Man, you need to get some facts before you start bleating about cops "just getting high on drama and crap".
Having nearly been run down twice in the space of the previous 10 minutes by an idiot in a stolen car that had been followed all the way from the North Shore, you might have your adrenalin going a bit as well. Of course the TV cameras were there - they had been following it as well!
And for your info, here is some more drama and crap that happened today... 3 suicides, 1 almost homocide (3 yr old kid beaten and not likely to survive), a 7 yr old boy died from an asthma attack and had to stop a car at gunpoint after a shooting. Is that enough "drama and crap" for you?
OK, so who's next?

A Fly on the Wall..... Get your flyswots out sunshine, This murder case won't leave the room! Think about it.
A cop wishing that the guys he deals with day in day out could be flies on a wall! It's an analogy, nothing literal!
This cop would love to smash some of us without implications. It would make his life more enjoyable!
In my eyes, It is probably because he'd love to smash us without us being able to smash him back - hence why he chooses a fly of all things.

The last 10 minutes...... Cool! You must have a wireless laptop connection on the Patrol bike. Maybe you should pull well off the road when you logon to Kiwibiker, so these fullas can get past.
Either that or if something happens - You hoon back to the station, plant your arse in the chair and type, type, type. So your fanclub can have a little excitement and fullfilment in their lives.
So you had a bad day, you poor bastard. Just think how many people you give bad days to.
I just got a 65 in a 50 speeding ticket (First ticket in 5 years). I don't give two tosses about cops anymore. Previously I never spoke a bad word of them.
But after getting a speeding ticket for 65 in a 50 from a bike cop while I'm riding a GSXR 1000 K6, I now have no interest in the wellfare of the Police.
This sort of bullshit turned me against cops in an instant.
This is the way the country is going, can't you tell? The cops are becoming the scum of the nation because people like me - Work my arse off every day, pay heavy taxes, spend my tax deducted money on GST Taxed items and then get penalised for 65 in a 50.
You should try a K5/K6 sometime, I have to look at the speedo every 10 seconds because I may have sped up 10kph without realising.
What a load of Bullshit this Government and it's Police force!
You wanna lower the roadtoll? Then impose heavy fines and imprisonments - Take a page out of Singapores book.
In NZ we seem to have found a fine balance for making the maximum profit out of road offences.
Speaking statistics, what about the 6 officers that resigned the force in December, proven guilty of offences by the Police Complaints Authority and then given the opportunity to resign the force or suffer being expelled from the force.
Anyway dude, to cut a long story short. When you've had a bad day - Learn how to wear it on the chin! It's your job! If you can't handle the heat........
In the riders seat
Since when was the type of bike you ride an acceptable excuse for exceeding the limit by 15kmh, you know the rules if you break them take the punishmnet and stop snivelling
you poor bastard I feel so sorry for you
How about you quote some statistics from similar sized private orgainisations for a comparison
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."
Moped rider
Fuck's sake harden up you poof. In a city of 1.5 million people or whatever it is that's nothing. Pittance.
I was going to rant about how singularly useless and pointless the police force in this country is, and how it's basically just a PR exercise which is very good at criminalising law abiding Joe Public, but fuck all use for dealing with the real Scumbags, but it appears that others have already done this for me.
Ps. - If you don't like it, do what the rest of us do - get another job.
