Our great justice/police system part 2

[GIXser]

Last night i was watching tv, when i heard this almight screetch and bang,
(i live on a main rd)

i run outside to find a woman with child in the car, totally shaken up, car (pretty much a write off) they were physically ok, the other car had done a runner, glass all over the road etc, another car stopped" and said the offender lost their bumper down the road" so i started running down the road and picked it up, with the help of someone else, (the number plate was attached), the victim relayed this to the police, and their reply was , ok just come into the station and make a statement" whilst the operator was still on the phone, the offender realised they lost their plate and returned (about ten minutes later) we relayed this to the cops, "as they turned up in an agitated state", again the reply was, "come in and make a statement" this was a serious accident- a hit and run, possibly under the influence" who knows,

yet this morning i passed mr plod" as he pulled someone over " lets write another ticket.

ok for those of you that are going to say, its not the cops fault for not turning up, here's my answer FUCK OFF, they got time to write stupid tickets--
(the system is fucked)
just when i thought my perception of the police force couldnt drop any lower, they have done it again---

That is shocking. In effect as you mentioned this was a "hit and run" even if no-one was hurt.

Maybe one of the cops on the site can answer why they didn't want to show up... maybe if there are no injuries it is classed as "low priority"?

Or maybe that was just the reaction of the call taker (not always cops...)

i know what you mean.
shit like this happens all the time.
Like when my gf had a dude break into their flat when her and her friends were at home and the police were too busy witht he booze bus. told them noone available.
just lowers ur respect for them, i have no faith in the police

Should say "they just arrived back for the numberplate AND THEY HAVE A KNIFE AND A GUN"...

See how long it takes them to arrive THEN! The fastest way to get the plod out of Dunkin Donuts...

"Oh, I could have sworn I saw a gun..."

[Lou Girardin]

Gosh, the hit and runner could have been a murderer, had a gun in the car, or a P lab, or anything.
I blame society.

so what do you consider serious then?????

In my usual sarcastic way, I was agreeing with your post.
And having a dig at the people who justify chases because they might be murderers, druggies etc. etc.

Reminds me of a story that happened to a friend in Wellington..

He was in bed one night, when he heard noises outside, so he got up without turning on the lights, he peered outside to see the silhouettes of 4 or 5 people outside his bedroom window stuffing around with his 4x4.
His 4x4 is a very modified competition truck, he had parked it ready for the weekends event up his driveway, his flat mates car and his girlfriends car were parked behind it.
He noticed that both their cars had already been moved so that the scum could get his 4wd!!

So he calls the cops and explains exactly what is happening before his eyes!
The operators says "Unfortunately we have no patrol cars available to assist, can you get as much information on the offenders as possible, but dont go outside"
Not that he would of ventured outside with that many scum sucking idiots!!

Now he hung up from the operator and saw they weren't too far away from taking when he made a decision to call the police again.

Police - Hello
Friend -" Hi there, I called a few minutes ago to report my 4x4 is being stolen"
Police - Yes
Friend - Dont worry about sending a Patrol car around I have shot them!!
Police - You what
Friend - Shot them! - and then hung up!!

Within minutes there were 3 or 4 patrol cars and the armed offenders squad and a helicopter on route!
They caught all the offenders in the act, and duely arrested them, then the detective questioned him, and said why did you lie to us and say that you had shot them, he replied "Why did your operator lie to me and say there was no patrol cars available"

Needless to say he was arrested and charged with wasting police time.
He managed to get off the charges, but sometimes makes you think??

I've heard it said that it's better to call Fire than the cops when there's offenders on your property.
Haven't tried it though.

Hearing all this "Not enough patrol cars" sounds like zimbabwe... moms car got broken into, called the cops and they said "ehhh uh... don't touch a... the... ahhh car... but can you ehhh... come and pick.... eh.... up the police... ma-officer"

Um... sure in my imaginary car that didn't get broken into....

seems in this case the NZ cops are taking a leaf out the zimbabwe police books...

maybe they'll pick up the whole "bribing" thing too... no demerits!

[spudchucka]

TMaybe one of the cops on the site can answer why they didn't want to show up...

They knew Gixser was involved and did it just to wind him up.

Or maybe it has something to do with 90% of the crime taking place when only 10% of the cops are working, you know, night time.

You should have said the car was speeding when it caused the accident then did the runner. Remember, it's only speed that kills.

If you want some serious fast action just say that you 'believe' you saw a firearm in the vehicle. You got to be real careful on this or you can get yourself into a shit load of crap.

The situation has to warrent this...............and you had better see something in the car that looks as if it could be part of a firearm. Or some kine of action of the perp that leads you to believe that they are armed.

Know a guy whose wife was assaulted in a road rage incedent. Yep come in an lay a complaint. He schooled her up and before you could say 'gizz a job' sirens were off eveywhere. No fire arms but they did find a shit load of dope. So all ended well.

Don't vent here. Give the Police the ammo to employ more Cops and stop bagging the reduced duty cop/non-sworn Police worker/civilian in the call centre.

Complain to your MP. Really easy to blame the Cops for not turning up when NZers won't wear a tax hike to cover the cost of employing more Police.

as i am living in the middle of roadworks hell ... dunno how many calls made to cops to advise of extremely dangerous driving .. no sign of them

Car rolled and of course they turned up ( only cause ambo's and fire there), asked them why they are not out patrolling at nite as they would make their ticket quota in short order, reponse back : " its too dark out here at nite we can not patrol when their is no street lights, we are out here during the day " My response .. what the fuck, with workmen, stop signs there are no issues during the day .. its when everyone goes home the fun starts.


Mind you came home from work late the other week .. here is cop car off the side of the road .. mistook the lean of the side of the road .. slid right off hahahahahahahahaha he was embarrassed as hell .. made my night really
