Police to issue 25pc more speeding tickets

[spudchucka]

One of the techs at work got pinged for riding in the bus lane on a scooter south of Shelley Beach road. He doesn't normally use the bridge and he was only in the lane for 50 metres (the lane is only 150 metres long). Blah, blah, blah.
Anyway, the fine was $500 friggin' dollars!
I've seen this bike cop there 3 or 4 times this week, at that rate he'll have toaster ovens coming out his ears.
Interesting public relations technique too, telling him to "fucking pull over!"
Must be grumpy because he had to have toaster ovens instead of an abdominiser.

$500 for driving in a bus lane doesn't sound right, what else was he done for?

As for the profanity - write to the area comander and make a complaint. You won't sort the guys attitude out by telling us all about it.

It is right and the other is all under way.
One question though. Is profanity worse than a chest poke?

And what will they do, I have had mates get in trouble over the boy racer laws only to have the cops drop the charges when they relise they will not win the cases, the guys still somehow had the demerits transfered to his license which was then taken away. No one he spoke to was any help, police said ring this they said ring them and in the end all he could get was 'read the road code'...as if that would help him?!?!

I'll check the offence details for my own satisfaction, $500 sounds over the top to me.

Come on Lou, a chest poke is just a bit of cop humor, (you remember humor don't you?). Some people might actually receive one depending on the circumstances and sometimes cops have to speak to people in language that they are capable of understanding and that will help in resolving an incident. I don't know the circumstances in which this biker cop swore at your friend so I won't comment on that incident. In general I think that if a cop is habitually swearing at the people they are dealing with then it is time for them to think about moving on.

If you do nothing then expect nothing in return.

As for Lou's mate, if he complains about this cop then the cop will at least have to explain his actions to his boss. He might think about keeping his mouth shut next time!

Congratulations, Evil Lord. Now, how about creating some deaf ideological bureaucrats to frustrate those who seek a Better Way??

My Better Way will defeat those dastardly plans of the evil Quasievil, I intend to take charge of the whole country and remove all traffic lights, stop signs, give way signs and no passing lines, I will also increase the speed limit to 300kph everywhere, then I will make the following distances no more than 5 metres.

The benefits of all this will be that almost nobody will get tickets, people wil get to their destinations quicker and more vehicles will be able to cram onto the roads.

With all this positive spin off I will be the most popular man in New Zealand and crush the machinations of Quasievil mwaahaahaahaahaaa-ah
