Police muscle in on funeral cortege

[Skyryder]

Do knickers count??

Skyryder

no knickers and no helmits sounds good to me

[froggyfrenchman]

I think in law you would have a very good case to get off. Traditions and the values that they imply, and represent, can be used as evidence.

Any case law on this??

Skyryder

Nota case, but all hell broke loose in Hastings a few years back when a very well known biker died. There were about 200 of us with no lids.

The papers didnt leave it alone for weeks. There were news cameras there, the cops could have gotten most of our plates. I never got a letter or phone call, neither did any of the other guys i knew there

What if he crashed and spilled his brains? Cop has to pick those bits up with rubber gloves...and explain to the following procession that he just joined his son...

Ignore him and he spills his brains? Media headline "Police seen doing nothing about helmetless rider who crashed and died from his head injuries..."

Or, stop and ticket...hmmm... ?

See him afterward? Maybe... bike not in his name? Rider not the owner? The paperwork generated finding out who he is, now that is time well spent... NOT. Or stopping and finding out there and then?

Cop knew he was part of the procession? How? I've been in processions in Auckland and you can't tell who belongs and who doesn't...everyone just pushes their way in anyhow...

Sure, he was told, and pointed in the right direction apparently... followed to the graveyard where discretion then kicked in and not one charge was laid. Good call...

And this made the news? Shite media...

but... what if he did stack off? Guess who gets to pick up the pieces...the cop who wanted to stop him in the first place? Damned if you do... damned if you don't...

The greenhorn cop was wrong for not pulling his head in and letting it go. The boofhead biker was wrong for shit-stirring at a funeral. ( 'Respecting the deceased by being helmetless' is such a crock of fucken shit) The squealing git who rang the newspaper is a fuckwit, and the weasel reporter is a fuckwit for turning the whole stupid fucken incident into a public drama. This country is starting to breed queer cunts at an alarming rate.

Amen brother.

I agree that in this case the cops seem to have acted badly, but I would like to make one point regarding whether or the not the police can pick and choose when to enforce the law.
I used to work 'in and around' the justice system (i.e. with lawyers) and the judges and lawyers were always saying that it is NOT up to the cops to decide if a law has actually being broken, that is actually a job for the courts.

So sometimes the cops are caught between looking like a pratt to the public, or being kicked in the arse by the boss..... and them there is that 0.1% who are actually arseholes...

ALL THESE WHAT IFS , WELL WHAT IF THE PIGS ACTUALLY TOOK SMALL CRIMES LIKE MINOR THEFT AND BURGS SERIOUSLY SO THAT THE CRIMS DONT BECOME BIGGER CRIMS , WHAT IF THAT THEN.
IT WAS REALLY ABOUT THE COP MAKING A POINT AND SAYING THE LAWS THE LAW , WHAT A WANK DONT TRY TO DEFEND HIM CAUSE YOU JUST LOOK LIKE A WANKER YOURSELF.

It's a bloody shocker to interupt someone's funeral for a minor thing like that but I am not going to judge every single cop in New Zealand for the actions in this case.

On the other hand, I hope those concerned get their backsides fried for a very long time for it.

Part of policing is maintaining order, and another part of it is about maintaining credibility in a world where a lot of different types of shit happens. This was of the minor variety and a "blind eye" would have been the best thing.

That's my 2 cents anyway.

What if we do... all theft and burgs, even go to letter box damage jobs even... But what if there aren't enough cops around to do all the thefts and burgs, Nah, that can't be so...

Was only pointing out the bigger picture thing, but that makes me a wanker...
But any excuse to have a crack at ALL cops ay.....

NOT REALLY , BUT YOU PRICKS DONT EVEN TURN UP TO MAJOR CRIME NOW LET ALONE MINOR CRIME , IF ITS TRAFFIC CRIME THEN YOU GUYS ARE ALL OVER IT CAUSE THE FORCE IS FULL OF PUSSY YES MEN AND WOMAN WHO LIKE THE EASY OPTIONS .
IF THAT WASNT A FUNERAL BUT A GANG OF ANGELS OR HEAD HUNTERS OUT THE BACK OF WEST AUCKLAND WEARING NO HELMETS THERE IS NO CHANCE THAT COP WOULD PULL THEM OVER , WHAT A FUCKEN FAG

[denill]

Poll: Should police turn a blind eye to NO helmets in a funeral cortege?

[pritch]

On the understanding that what you read in the paper may, or may not, be an accurate account of what happened...

It may have been more appropriate to post a ticket in the mail?

Man, I want to work where Winja works, no pressure, only even given enough work to exactly fill one day, and all the employees are happy, and no customer complaints ever.

[Sniper]

Im curious to know, if a stunter dies, is it OK to wheelie all the way to his funeral? Or is it ok to do a rolling burnout up the road behind the hearse? What happens if he requests it?
