For COPS only

To all the PIGS watching this!!!!"" i have just finished reading the story on that farmer, that watched his little girl pass away, after riding the farm bike" yeah sure the guy made a mistake" who doesn't!!!!,, but you pigs" wanna make a case out of it and prosecute the poor guy" DONT YOU THINK HE HAS ENOUGH OF A BURDEN ALREADY"-- Ofcourse justice prevailed and he (the farmer ) was let off, and yeah i know most of the "cops" dont have a say in this and probably disagreed with the whole case!!, but stand up together, and voice your opion to your seniors!!! Unfortunately there are to many stories like this lately
you are losing the support of the general public rapidly, and you wonder why you get the bash every now and again??
Do the job you were employed to do, "like" FIGHT CRIME---!!!!!

Now youve read this go and write a ticket----

Totally agree mate, good rant. But the police dont make the law. We gotta send our anger to parliament not the people doing their jobs. I mean it had to be a gut rencher for the cops involved. I know where your coming from But what say he made it look like an accident? Not that he did but they have to check out every avenue. Its a shitty world sometimes.

hmmmm having a bad day mate.

Cops dont always do things cause they are prics they have to follow rules set by goverment if you want to bitch and point finger point it at Auntie helen and her gang. Cops dont file cases just cause they feel like it mate (maybe ticketing yes) but not for these types of cases (I think)

Geeze Gixxer......yep it should never have happened but the Senior Officers and Crown Prosecution are the ones who make decisions to prosecute or not, not your Joe Plod who has to investigate and report this stuff.

I am pretty certain that the investigating cop is relieved too.......he was just doing is job which can be a bitch at times.

If I am wrong that is fine, however, have a beer mate cause the one who is really suffering is the Father, not you.

Thank you Grahameeboy. There is no need to tar the cops with this brush! They cop enough shit already. Rightly or wrongly.

I imagine that this particular prosecution was more a policy decision rather than aimed at a conviction in this particular case...ie to prove a point that little kiddies shouldn't be operating machinery. Hopefully this will lead to a positive change.

A cop was nice to me today, when there was no real reason to be nice...but that's another thread...

Iknow of a couple of jobs were police have charged people with an innaproprite charge recently. I disagree that they were "just doing there job". The police that initially went to this job could have just filed it as a Fatal motor vehicle accident or Fatal industrial accident. Not come up with a charge of manslaughter..WTF are they thinking??. Its got nothing to do with the government or fuckin prosecutor bullshit. Government set laws, and prosecutors present cases to court.
It was the constables, sergents, and senior officers/detectives that attended this job who decided that Manslaughter fit the bill. They charged him, not the government or the prosecuter.

Geezuz is that right? Screw the cops on that job then. Why would they do that? Just to be a prick or to get kudos from senior officers?

[outlawtorn]

sounds to me like a horrific accident......and any dumb fuck who finds a reason to lay charges against the father should be fucked and burned, I suppose it depends on which cop arrives at the scene, as with all walks of life you get nice guys and arseholes, unfortunetly the father probably got the arseholes.

There will always be digs in the police (atualy world) but not all of them are though

On a lighter subject is there going to be a party or ride in 7 days for becoming "a legal" road user again sm?

4 yr old girl on a quad bike with her dad (farmer brown) on a farm. Shes been used to these things her whole short life. Farmers celly rings. he hops off to answer the call. Girl asks if she can carry on rounding up the calves. Dad says yeah but go slow sweetie. Off she goes, a little ways up she makes a turn and the bike became unbalanced and overturned, she died from a head injury.

Accident or manslaughter..you tell me.

It was an accident but a 4 year old on a quad rounding up sheep is still a bit irresponsible......saying go slow to the girl was not enough..sorry, lots of sympathy but irresponsible.......what was more important, the cal or his Daughter's safety.

I agree prosecution was harsh in the circumstances, however, he was responsible for what happened.....life is tough.

Take my situation. My just turned 3 year old has a powered wheelchair and it was a pre-requiste that I had to have a remote control to stop her in an emergency........I never, never take her out without having the remote because I love her to bits and despite her short life expectancy, there is no way I am gonna put her in danger......if my cell phone rang and I hoped off...well nuff said..

[froggyfrenchman]

That particular case is a shame, however... We do have cops who are and have been for some time regular posters on this site. What are the chances that the 3 or four cops that use KB were involved in any way? pretty slim at best.

All you have done by creating this thread is makea personal attack on these few guys. Why should a cop in christchurch who likes bikes and is a KBer be personally attacked by you over this?

Now im no cop lover... I have had my fair share of runins... speed tax and loss of licence. Thats fine, i was breaking the law. When the wheels had turned and my bikes were stolen, they did an outstanding job and i had both bikes back in less than 12hrs. Cant complain with that service.

Before posting a rant like this on here again, just think about who you are really having a go at. You would be better off writing a letter to the police involved.

Just my $1.50

Depends if you could consider it forseeable that putting a 18kg 4 year old child in charge of a 400kg powerful quadbike, without a helmet and without supervision might possibly result in an accident.

It was a stupid waste of life that could have easily been prevented by the father either not allowing a 4 year old kid to drive a 400kg bike alone, or making sure that the child is supervised closely at all times when riding the bike or even better spending the 150 bucks it would have taken to buy the kid a helmet and save her life.
