And it wasn't me either.

I've got a big penis.

We want pictures ... we demand proof! Well, the ladies on here do anyway

It was 65 in a semi-rural zone. Hardly any traffic, most of which was behind me; no pedestrians; no roadworks etc. Cop was a wanker

Thanks for the red SPB. It really doesn't match with what I'm wearing sorry. You can have it back.

*Non-related to thread* Don't you hate pussy little fuckers with small dicks, big bikes and big egos that do whatever they want as long as it fucks someone else off? I've had enough of those bastards on KB

HP Gestapo at their best huh best just to soak it up & keep rolling

My 1st ever infringment was exactly the same, tried getting out of it, didn't work.

Being done for 111km/h cemented their precious quoter regime for me

[Waylander]

Suddenly this is about red rep?

[froggyfrenchman]

Well Zac, welcome to the world of voluntary tax.

That really sucks guys, but for the record I once got a letter from them waiving everything, but i was 15 and had to surrender my licence for 1 month.

adds proof to the claims that revenue gathering is the function of the HP.

I don't actually think it is revenue gathering - the additional revenue for the government's coffers is pretty minimal compared to what we get screwed out of on a regular basis. No, this is a political thing. A policy has come down from on high to reduce road deaths. Someone has declared that the simplest enforceable thing that will reduce deaths is speeding and has come up with some figures on how many need to be stopped. These get turned into regional quotas, and eventually per officer quotas. That the original idea was to stop people from dying gets lost on the way.

They are fucking quotas though, all this shit about a lack of promotion prospects for officers that don't write tickets only goes to show how deep the rot is. On the bright side, the fact that the actual genuine front line police have to be hit with a 'your career will be fucked' stick indicates that they don't like it all that much more than we do.

Whole thing is pathetic though. If only it were possible to radar scan for arseholes in FPV's. Although "FPV" written across the back is a reasonably good indicator in my experience.

It is when 'that individual' dishes it out to hXc & Yungatart in this thread. I got a green from him but the comment with it told me it was supposed to be a red

[SwanTiger]

I have no opinion on the circumstances of the ticket, however for future reference I know from experience a letter written by a third-party is not the way to go. In my opinion, had hXc written the letter himself, expressed remorse and admitted guilt and showed acceptance of consequences; The Officer reviewing the infringement would of been more inclined to waiver it.

Think about it, attitude and resentment or remorse and acceptance ...

No offence MSTRS, but when I read your letter I concluded two things; "hXc admitted guilt through your words to exceeding 50 kmp/h inside a 50 kmp/h zone", "his attitude towards the Police is now that of resentment".

Anyway, that's my perspective and I see the Police response un-reasonably lacking sympathy but definitely not biased by quota or anything else for that matter.

I too am young and have been pulled over by the Police a few times now; honesty, (genuine) remorse and most importantly acceptance goes a long way, or at least that's what I've learnt through experience.

EDIT: To make sure this is read in the context I intend; This is a reply to MSTRS initial post and not an argument on speeding.

FPV = Fucking Police/Patrol Vehicle???
Hear what you are saying re revenue/quota. But the quota isn't just for tickets written, is it? Would be a mockery if all tickets written were waived eh?

[Jantar]

This one certainly should have been defended in court. Especially with two witnesses following.

[MSTRS:Me]

Good points Swanny. You may be right about the third person thing. I don't know and (small voice) haven't had a ticket for quite some years. It was hXc's first & if he displays an attitude as regards HP now, well I for one will not 'correct' him - they earned it.

We talked about it, but it is only $80 and no guarantee of getting off (at least $130 would be added to the bill)

I thought it stood for "Fucking piggy vehicle" or "Fucked up piggy van"

anyhow, it's interesting that whenever you point out that the pigs are... well fucking pigs... someone comes and red reps you for it, been on the receiving end of it a few times, hell I feel one coming towards me now.. fucking pig lovers, I only like my bacon dead, skinned and cut up.
