Police working to a quota?? Surely not...

[spudchucka]

If you guys are doing an honest good-cop job then I take my hat off to you.
On the other hand, If your akin one of the policemen who has assaulted, lied, baited, badmouthed and perverted justice against me then you should be able to see why the public has the negative perception of you that they do, and you probably wont be arguing your case here anyway.

Big ups to the good cops out there.

And which category do you honestly think the cops that provide advice and honest opinion on this site to anyone that is interested would come under?

A bunch of cunts?

The post that DM50 was responding to was one of the most sensible posts I have read recently.

Take your own advice. And have a close look in the mirror before dishing out your insults .....

Insults? Read some of the crap that gets dished out to me, that avatar stealing gumby and his mindless mates spout endless insults of a highly personal and vulgar nature and you come back and have a go at me because I referred to them as morons? What a load of bollocks!

There is a simple answer to that, use your ignore list. If you call me a moron or a wanker again then that's where you're going....

Welcome, meet winja and mikey.

For giving good legal advice? Even when it's not asked for but so obviously needed? Even for getting off tickets? Yep, bunch of c*#ts alright....

C'mon ladies, don't take it to heart.

There are some good cops on this site and I can accept that you guys are only human, your profession really does not change my personal opinion of you and I've appreciated the advice given at times.

Some of you seem very passionate about your jobs and appear to take a lot of what is said on here very personally but surely you can accept that the opinions offered are not merely that of a bunch of pissed off speeding bikers but are representative of a vast cross section of society??

Sure, some of us are less than eloquent at times but a large proportion of us have been victims of "crimes" and received little assistance from an organisation whose primary role is to protect and serve the public due to lack of resource. Yet as pointed out, not only on here but in the national media too, there is a fuckload of resource dedicated to lowering a road toll that is not going to change with an overly aggressive ticketing policy.

Nope, cunts are useful three weeks out of four.

This message is hidden because spudchucka is on your ignore list.

The thread looks better already....

[scumdog]

Yep, there ARE probably some right twats in the job (Police) out there but judge each guy as an individual rather than what profession they have eh?

After all, if the majority were 'that bad' and the good ones left what would that leave you with??

And a lot of us could do what a lot of you are doing - but not vice-versa.

I doubt it.

I don't think I'd have a problem nightsticking drunks and coconuts.

But writing all those tickets might fuck with my OOS.

About a year ago I posted an hypothetical situation.
What is likely to happen if everyone obeys the current speed limits. Will the government accept the loss of revenue or will we see speed limits lowered. Evidence over the last six months, with the number of tickets issued dropping, would favour the latter. No government is prepared to kill off the golden goose. 80k limits are becoming more and more widespread as the revenue drops. Obey the law to the letter and we will soon be walking, with possibly an exorbitant tax on shoe leather.
The tone of this thread has deteriorated to a slanging match between the few cops on the forum and a large number of guys who see all the problems but vent their anger on the wrong people. Biker's, and motorists, anger should be directed where it really belongs. The politicians who make the laws. All the ranting and raving in the world isn't going to change a thing if the complainants are the only ones who hear it. To claim that the guys in the firing line could change things is a pipe dream. How many here can go to work, ignore the bosses orders, and do the job as they see fit. Not many I bet.

I'm still new here and I dont want to offend anyone but the sad fact is that of all the police I have encountered, a very large percentage have been machoscistic (sp) egomaniacs who have been more concerned with asserting their authority than actual justice.

Yes, I have encountered some good police who have treated me with respect and as a human being, even some who have fined me have atleast been courteous, as I am to them. I forget these cops in arguements like this due to the shadow thats been cast over my opinion of the police as a whole by the others.

I'm sorry if I have offended you decent cops out there. But if I have offended you I would suggest you all take a look at the kind of police that have caused me the distrust that I have.

(quoted to me from an prominent officer)"The police complaints authority is a very understaffed and overworked facility"

Lets see some of fine revenue go there for a change...
