Don't take a knife to a gunfight !

They get one chance at the job office.

Then they get shot. Or sent for an interview in a gun shop with their CV printed on a machete.

So what do you think the ones who don't want to work will do?
Starve?
Or steal?

With the extra policing and crime fighting capabilities, I guess they'd have to starve.

Take a look at what my buddy Mayor Rudy did in NY.

[Pixie]

sure...but things would be worse if they were not on the roads.

You really believe that,don't you?

[spudchucka]

You know I'm referring to cases where there is no need for punishment.

And you and I are suitably able to be the sole judge(s) of which offences require punishment?

Is that not the intended role of the courts?

With the extra policing and crime fighting capabilities,

You think they'd resist the temptation to triple the number of HP cops?

[kickingzebra]

we would have $30+ billion to play with.

I'm told the entire police budget is about a billion.
You got my vote finny fin finn

[spudchucka]

crock of shit.

Dover's area of expertise.

C'mon dyna, we all know that it was the thick kids at school that swarmed around the police recruitment stands, attracted by the hand cuffs and sirens.

Just look at your grammar, but it's ok. You don't need to be smart to write out tickets, they are like a multiple choice open book test.

Don't joke about it spudchucka.

Sanitary drainage is indeed one of my areas of expertise.

It would be if those aquitted were awarded full costs. As it is, people are ruined because some senior cop is too spineless to stand up and say the case should not go to court. (Unless the offender is a member of the Labour party, that is)

PS I'm able because I have some common sense. The common bit.

Big deal, the mongrel is charged with assualt and "intent" to rob. So he'll be roaming the streets again shortly. I wonder when he'll next be in the herald?

Drainage or stirring?

[scumdog]

Not me, I'm just being nice to him to get cheap lodging and drink his supplies.

And vice-versa




At least you left my wife out of it!

I quote you:



So now your saying it didnt make a heap of difference and he was convicted, you keep chopping and changing your story.

Are you making this up? When did this occur?

It would have made a whole heap of difference to the case and the jury had we known about this in court. The judge wisely made it inadmissable as evidence since the ecilops fucked up so badly. This decision was made in closed session with judge/prosecutor and defence council only. We only found out after coming to our verdict and the prosecutor walked out with us afterwards and told us we had done the right thing.
All clear now?
