Fair call............................but I was just differentiating between fanging it and doing a runner.

[WINJA]

Runners must be more dangerous cause you are in panic mode and more than just fanging it....I also agree that breaking law is breaking the law

YES YOUD PANIC BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN I WOULD, WHY ARE THEY MORE DANGEROUS CAUSE YOU SAY SO ? WTF DO YOU KNOW ? FUCK ALL CAUSE YOU BLEW YOUR LICENCE AT LEAST I KEPT MINE NOT JUST CAUSE I DONT STOP BUT CAUSE I CHOOSE WHERE I SPEED AND GENERALLY WHERE I SPEED IS WHERE THE ARE NO PEOPLE AND WHERE THERE ARE NO PEOPLE THERE ARE USUALLY NO COPS , YOU NEED TO PICK YOUR BATTLES DILDO FAGGINS

I was just giving my view, not 'cause I say so'......and then you tell me to pick my battles cause you say so...I am just having fun and enjoying the freedom of speech

I had a clean licence for 25 years, 6 in this country and just got complacent on a familiar road where I had not seen cops before, there are no people and time caught up.....I am not bothered but you seem more bothered about it than I do...........I have a limited licence to drive car so no real life dramas for me................

You seem to go on about the gay thing an awful lot there Winja.

You a reluctant cock blower? you like fudge packing? got fantasys about going down on a guy?

[Pancakes]

Got complacent? On a thou? Man, I don't even know what to say. How the hell do you not speed on a thou and it sounds like you weren't "ahead of the curve" when you got caught dreaming along on two wheels. I like the feeling of riding over 100k's on a closed track or private road only of course and could imagine it would be as enjoyable on the street.

Until the end of the financial year. Now, anyone want to reckon that's NOT revenue gathering.

No its not. How many times do I have to explain this.

Its about the way the police are funded and expected to operate as a business. In one sense though it is about revenue gathering, revenue the police receive from other agencies, money that they need to put cops out on the streets.

The reason that it mentions the end of the financial year is that all the police stats etc get closed off at that time. If the area commander has to explain why his area has under delivered on contracted traffic enforcement hours then he is not going to be a happy chap and his operating budget for the following year is likely to be reduced. Furthermore he probably won't be getting his big fat bonus if he doesn't meet the targets set by those that give him their money.

Its not about the tickets, its about the hours delivered and therefore the money they receive to operate, but they won't let a cop deliver an hour of traffic enforcement without having a ticket to show for it. So, consequently they are telling their troops to issue tickets, because thats what they need to do in order to achieve the contracted hours and get their money that they need to operate.

One of the issues I have is speed limits. The people who can change things don't because then they're name is top of the blame list if someone dies. I recon a no nonsense max of 40k's around schools, 60 on suburban streets, 75 to 95 on those highway/connecting type roads and from 100 to 130 on the highway. I never got why there was a 10 leniency or whatever. What about roads that have peole on footpaths and kids around being suitably posted and motorways built, maintained and properly fenced so 120k cruising speed around the country is fine? I know a chick who never speeds and never knows whats going on around her either. The question really comes back to you, am I in control? Not to your mates but do I have this situation all accounted for and contingency plans for when the shit hits the fan? When we have the balls to hit drunks at parties up for their keys and to encourage annoying kids to get some track time or to take learner car drivers onto a skid pan so they don't panic at the first loss of traction we are helping the situation. No-one wants to die, be killed, kill someone else or have a loved one minced but it pisses me off when the genuine concern of the public gets taken by cops and used as an excuse to ticket like crazy. Going on police training does change people heaps and creates an us and them mentality. Go to bed everyone. Make sure your minds on-it for splitting to work tomorrow.

See my later post. Tis still revenue gathering. To satisfy "the targets set by those who give him their money" .

The fundamental point, which is what bugs people, is that Top cop wasn't telling people to issue tickets because he was worried about safety. He was telling people to issue tickets cos he was worried about justifying the money . As you yourself just said.

Which makes a nonesense of police claims that speeding enforcement is about saefty.

[Jantar]

There are many ways that an Area Commander can prove traffic hours without using ticket numbers. Items like vehicle log books, officers time sheets, rosters etc. But these methods don't collect revenue.

If all drivers are obeying the law, an officer could be rostered on traffic duty 8 hours a day, 365 days a year, and yet by the ticket count he couldn't prove a single hour of traffic duty. Unless.......

Me thinketh he doth protest too much.

Is being a homo meant to be something wrong or make you a lesser human being??
Does it make you ride slower?
Does it make you have a smaller financial income?
Most puzzled by all this negative gay bashing comment coming from you....
