Police have double standards

[marty]

apparantley they get their gun licences for free too. not that they need them though - their police mates just turn a blind eye anyway to caches of ak47's etc

[marty]

also, i heard that there's some members of the public riding bikes that are bigger than their conditions allow! SOME don't even have a licence at ALL. and some, just quietly, HAD a licence, but lost it cause they were naughty, but they still ride. ummmmmm

I don't wish to sound rude, but, put up or shut up.

If you are going to level an accusation please be prepared to support it.

come on, this IS kiwibiker.co.nz after all. since when have facts got in the way of a good story? it's much easier to bitch on here that actually make a complaint of substance.

Cops need licences?
Well I never!
You just need a bike to go with that unnecessary licence now spud.

Hello all. Ive been informed that the police can have a motorcycle licence in two weeks from never riding before, Has anyone heard of this,????


If you read the heading above i didnt accuse anyone of anything. I said i got some info and asked if anyone new about it.

Why do you want the CBTA back?? did you run the courses.

Well I heard that there were some cops given exemptions to ride bigger CC bikes specifically so they could ride the "work" hacks on their learners. I've also heard lots of other things that were obviously false, so I reserve judgement on how true this particular rumour is. Which is disappointing, cos I haven't read a decent cop bashing thread in days. Has someone got some facts we can start a good bashing with? There was that loser drink driver who caused that prang up AUckland way that used to be a cop? Can we start on that one??

Regarding the CBTA, I went from start to finish inside 3 months. And that was mainly scheduling and laziness issues (mostly on my part) that meant it took that long. Could be someone who happened to be employed as a cop decided to get his learners on Monday, did the CBTA restricted the next monday, then the CBTA full the following Monday. OMG - hate it when those bastards do what we do. Double standards all right.

I got my licence in the UK in two weeks. Zero to hero baby!

Direct Access is a wonderful thing

[marty]

that might be the case but its not a rumour. its a fact.

i'm pretty sure this is an accusation.

or is it just a fact that it's a rumour?

i had heard that 17% of cops get their licence without even having to have a test ride.

i also heard that 63% of stuff you read on the internet is true.

or was it false?

i can't remember.

oh that's right. it was true.

i think.

Sorry, someone with the same login as you posted this

"that might be the case but its not a rumour. its a fact."

I was merely asking you to support this "fact"

[Smorg]

Sorry, someone with the same login as you posted this

I hate it when that happens

[spudchucka]

It has and is happening within the ranks.

No, its not. Police don't issue drivers licences these days, the only people committing that type of fraud are ex MOT traffic cops who are now employed by licence testing agencies.
