Who just watched the article on Closeup about the teen done for dangerous driving?

[Madness]

Seems to be a lot of action in the Alexandra District Court at the moment.

The interesting thing about police corruption is we never have to wait long for a repeat performance/........kinda speaks volumes!

The cop was on the left hand side of the road and pulled a U turn in front of the oncoming teenager.

Two experts have stated that the cops statement that he was in the centre of the road indicating to pull in to the driveway was rubbish and that he must of been on the left verge, and also two eyewitnesses also confirmed they had seen the cop on the verge but the Judge dismissed all this evidence and took the word of the Cop.

...
Insp Burns said police had received new information that the position of the vehicle was in a different place than was reported at the time of the crash, based on the contents of the statement that was made at the time.

"Quite clearly the information we had at the start was why the charge was laid. New information from other witnesses has changed that, and if we had had that information at the time we would not have charged Mr Cribb," he said.
.....

Amazing. $1 each way, and you're covered, eh?

The information is no longer suppressed:

A long-serving Alexandra police officer lied at a court hearing in 2006 because he wanted to avoid the consequences of telling the truth about a road accident he had six months earlier, a Dunedin jury was told yesterday.
Neil Robert Ford (56), a senior constable with the police Commercial Vehicle Inspection Unit, is on trial in the Dunedin District Court accused of committing perjury.

...a man with a dependable 30-year record with the MOT...

What is it about cops with 30 years in doing u-turns, causing grief or death to others?

[pete376403]

Hopefully you were close enough, and alert enough to get the plate number and will forward that and all the relevant details to the PCA or whatever its called now.
Otherwise little point in grizzling about it here.

Russian roulete ! over the thirty years they got away with doing it, untill one day BANG.

I know the cop lied.

He BLATANTLY lied.

I hope he lives with a burden on his back for the rest of his life. And it comes back and bites him in the arse.

Never a truer word...... Perjury even.... Bitten in arse all right. Wonder what bubba will do to his arse....?

Aha!!! And the PCA is staffed by...?

A judge, civillian investigators, ummmm..... Your point?

He musta missed that bit...

He musta missed that bit...

A point missed all too regularly in soooooooo many forums.....

That's the IPCA. Nobody trusted the PCA...

I see a second cop involved has been charged/convicted of perverting the course of justice. He hid evidence that proved the first cop was lying.

She hid the evidence that T-bone Ford was lying by not disclosing what T-bone said at the time of the crash. She claims that she had originally "not felt comfortable disclosing what she had heard and had been bullied by her superior officer not to disclose the statement."
Not reported in the paper, but no longer suppressed is the identity of her superior at the time. This was Snr Sgt Brian Seymour, now retired. He was well know locally as a real bastard and was even known to walk around the New World car park looking for vehicles that were unwarranted and/or unregistered.

Used to be two MOT guys in Patea and Waverley years ago,they had quota sussed,was talking to a guy about cops in general,then another guy chirped in about the wanker cop from Waverley,the guy with me said that's my dad,but added he had been ticketed for speeding and agreed his dad was a wanker at times.

Interesting how the superiors seem to have retired when indescretions are known,almost like the norm.Feel sorry for the new cops who are told to turn a blind eye to other officers crap.
